Reviews

I had received a starter, for the Amish Friendship Bread, from a friend many years ago. It wasn't but a few months when I used up and gave away all my starter. Another friend of mine tried to replicate the starter, with no availe, and not knowing what the recipe was. I was so excited when I came across this recipe!!! The Amish Friendship Bread is wonderful! I gave a loaf of the bread along with a starter as small gifts to different friends and they all enjoyed it very much! Mickey

Chicken Florentine Casserole

This was a hit at our house from the 2 year old on up. I followed the recipe as given,using reduced fat ingredients whenever possible and it was delicious! Although next time I will cut the chicken into bite size pieces and only use 1 cup of cheese. Thanks for the great recipe!
