Lancaster County Reckoning

Look for my June release…available now. The father Darcy Simmons thought was dead is actually alive, but in a coma, and the men who attacked him are after her to produce what he was hiding. But she hasn’t spoken to her father in twenty years, since he entered witness protection and became Amish, and has no clue what the criminals want. Now the only person she can depend on is Amish farmer Thomas Nolt, her father’s neighbor and closest friend. Thomas knows nothing of his friend’s past, but he’s determined to save the fragile beauty the man shielded all these years with his silence. But with men willing to kill for stolen items her father was hiding, can Thomas and Darcy find them before their time runs out?

Chicken Pot Pie from Lancaster County Target

Ingredients

3-4 lbs chicken cooked and chopped

1 1/2 cups of peas, steamed (or 1 can drained)

1 1/2 cups of carrots, steamed (or 1 can drained)

1 or 2 sliced potatoes

1 onion sliced and slightly browned

salt and pepper to taste

1 cup of broth

1 can of mushrooms, drained (or fresh slightly sauted)

1 can of cream of mushroom soup

2 T. corn starch

1/2 cup butter

1 cup flour

1 cup buttermilk

 

I use two frozen pie crust.  After they thaw, I heat one for about 10 minutes. Then layer all the ingredients, chicken, peas, carrots, potatoes, and onion. Salt and pepper each layer. Heat broth, mushrooms, soup and cornstarch in a a pan and pour over layers. Mix butter, flour, and buttermilk. Heat and pour over pie. Then slice the other thawed pie crust into strips and weave over the top. Bake at 425 for 30 minutes or longer. It makes a lot

 

Enjoy.

Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

Ingredients:

Wholegrain/Multigrain Bread
Banana
Sultana Raisins
Crunchy Peanut Butter
Local Unpasteurized Honey

Start with fresh multigrain bread, and slather one slice with crunchy peanut butter. Peel a well-ripened banana and cut it in half. Now, slice each half so you have 4 equal banana quarters to lay side-by-each on your peanut-buttered bread slice. Sprinkle some raisins on top of the bananas and then drizzle honey over the raisins. Put the lid on it and enjoy!
