Обо мне
I grew up in a wonderful small town in south central PA where good cooking from fresh ingredients abounded. I was blessed with a mom and grandmother who were both excellent cooks. I learned a lot from them, and from my friends who often knew more about nutrition than I had learned in college as a Home Economics Education major. While I only taught for one year, I cooked for our growing family for several decades. I have learned a lot over the years and have lots of recipes to share from PA Dutch favorites to EZ foods to Nutritional Yummies. I strongly feel that food must be good as well as "good for you!"

- 25 января 2013My Grandparents were Pennsylvania Dutch. In fact My Grandpap used to call Gram "Dutch" all the time :)
- 04 ноября 2012I tried your Crockpot Apple Pie and it was pretty good. Unfortunately your directions were not complete. You give instructions to cut the apples into wedges and I did that. You really should have also said to peel the apple. Absent instructions to do so I assumed that apple peels were part of the a-peel of the recipe. It would have been much better without the skins. As a self-desscribed beginner cook, I must suggest the importance of COMPLETE directions. Just sayin'.
- 24 июля 2012I have lots of friends from PA. I cant wait to try your dutch PA contribution! I look forward to seeing all your recipes.

- 26 февраля 2011Hoping to get to sharing a real delicacy today, and some true PA Dutch foods. When we were in Germany, we finally found the food we were looking for, Hog Maw! It is sausage and diced potatoes baked in a cleaned pig stomach. It is a delight to smell while cooking, and so yummy (and nothing at all like Haggis!). In Germany, it is called "Saumagen" and served over sauerkraut! My husband was in "foodie" bliss! Recipe coming soon...
- 26 февраля 2011Hi, Jann - outstanding desserts here, an area I need to hone! And these wonderful German-American recipes (or Pennsylvania Dutch) are so tatalyzing! Looking forward to trying something out, just need to decide which one - best regards - Amos1 reply
- 26 февраля 2011Glad I can help out. Desserts are just easy to find. I have several handwritten notebooks of them. I have other recipes, too, that might interest you and others, like Hog Maw (Pig Stomach). It was made from leftover from butchering a hog (sausage made from "scraps" and diced potatoes cooked in a cleaned stomach). It is a true delight to smell as it is roasted, and cut, and served. Nothing else like it (nothing like Haggis!), it has become a delicacy today. Will share that today, I hope!
- 25 февраля 2011Glad you joined Jann. I hope you enjoy the recipes here and I look forward to trying some of your PA Dutch favorite recipes!1 reply
- 25 февраля 2011I found this site from a friend who is setting up the group for "Disabled but still cooking." Linda and I both have Post Polio Syndrome as a result of having had Polio when we were kids. This typing up recipes is slow going as we have limited energy. If I get one or two done a day, I am lucky. So, my PA Dutch group may take quite a while to get going. Nice to be here...
- 24 февраля 2011I plan to try your recipes. Just need my personal shopper to buy the ingredients!1 reply
- 24 февраля 2011Oh, no! I hope you like them, and that I didn't make any mistakes. Let me know if you have any questions, OK?
- 24 февраля 2011It just about wore me out to do those 13 over 2 days. I cut and pasted them to theingredients, and then directions. But, I have mine already formatted so that I could do that. I find this site hard to use and takes a whole lot of energy for us, but it does have the nutritional info, which is very good...and the metric option. I plan to keep trying to add at least one a day...it will still take forever. Sigh!
- 24 февраля 2011Jann, how on earth did you post so many recipes so quickly? I was worn out from making my Profile page, creating the group, Disabled, but Still Cooking and posting 2 recipes? I tried to "copy and paste some of the recipes that I had on my computer, but they were .jpegs that I had scanned to send to people and it didn't work on this format.
Thanks for contributing to "our" site!
