More Amish Friendship Bread Musings

As a post note: Amish Bread sour dough starts are very forgiving - just like the Amish.
You do make many friends by sharing the bread - as for sharing the start - use your discretion.
Did the Amish really create this? Interestingly the recipe calls for Instant Pudding...........
Lemon flavor is a favorite. So is chocolate. Cinnamon gets great reviews.
The least favorite - Butterscotch. We'll leave that flavor for the Christmas Pull-Aparts.
Saturday is the day to bake and share.

Blog-o-licious Crock Pot Roast


I seem to be a little behind on my blog-o-licious-ing. On Sunday we had Roast Beef done in the crock pot. It was tender and tasty and easy. The best part was the smell through out the house when we got home from church.

Roast Beef in Crock Pot

1 - 3lb rump roast ( 1/2 lb. per person)
1 pkg. Lipton Onion Soup Mix
2 - 3 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup (1/2 can per person)

Put roast in crock pot fat side up. Sprinkle onion soup mix on top. Pour cream of mushroom soup over top of roast.
Cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours.
Remove and cover with foil tent for 15 minutes while preparing gravy.
Add 1/2 cup sour cream to mushroom soup.
Season to taste.
Slice beef against the grain and serve.

Saturday, Stacie had a drum concert. (aka - recital) . She got to have her band "Inconsistent Protocol" come and accompany her. They played the only song they know - "Hum Hallelujah ". I do believe they got the most applause.
