CREAMY PARMESAN POTATOES AND PEAS

Steps:

• Fill a medium sized saucepan 3/4 of the way with water. Add about 2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil and add frozen peas.
• Keep the stove temperature on high and once water is again boiling, add the potatoes. Reduce heat to medium. Boil potatoes & peas for about 15 minutes- until the potatoes are fork tender, but not falling apart. (Check often after you've boiled them for about 12 minutes - you don't want them to get too soft!)
• Drain potatoes & peas and set aside.
• In the same saucepan, melt butter. Add onion powder and flour. Quickly begin whisking in milk as the flour-butter mixture thickens, adding the milk a little bit at a time. Allow the milk to heat up and the mixture to thicken again before adding more, until all the milk is incorporated.
• Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a bit more milk if it gets too thick. Add in Parmesan cheese and whisk gently, until cheese is mixed in and melted.
• Add the potatoes and peas back to the saucepan. Stir gently to combine. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.

OLD FASHIONED MASHED POTATOES

• Add the butter and heavy cream, a little at a time, until you reach the required consistency. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and serve garnished with chopped chives.
• Note: Just before finishing you could add any other flavorings desired!

AMISH WHITE BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix 1 Tbs. flour, 1 Tbs. sugar, and yeast in your KitchenAid mixing bowl.
• Add warm water. Stir, and let it rest for about 5 min.
• Once the yeast mixture is looking creamy and bubbly, add the oil, sugar, potatoes, and salt. Stir.
• Add 4 c. of flour and knead on low speed.
• Continue kneading for 4 minutes on speed 2, slowly adding flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• When finished kneading, the sides of the bowl should be looking fairly clean. Drizzle a bit of oil into the side of the bowl and let the mixer spread the oil to grease the sides.
• Lightly cover the dough with a dish towel, and let it rest to rise for about an hour.
• Grease 2 9x5" loaf pans.
• Punch dough down. Butter your hands and knead the dough for about a minute. Divide the dough in half and shape it into two loaves. Poke the tops with a fork to remove air bubbles.
• Place loaves into greased pans. Cover with a towel and allow them to rise for about 30 minutes, or until they have risen about 1 inch above the pans.
• Preheat your oven to 350°. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes.
• Allow the bread to cool for about 10 minutes, brush the tops with butter, and remove from the pans. Enjoy a delicious slice of warm fresh bread!
• Store in airtight bags. And you can freeze one loaf to keep it fresh.

CREAMY CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Peel the cucumber and cut into thin slices. Salt the sliced cucumber and squeeze-it is important to squeeze the cucumbers once sliced and salted to remove the extra liquid so that the salad is not watery. OR, you can cut the cucumber in half lengthwise once peeled and gently scoop out the seeds. This little trick will lessen the overall watery content of the recipe. 2. Combine sour cream, sugar, vinegar and milk blending well in a serving bowl. 3. Add cucumber slices to the creamy dressing.4. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours prior to serving.
