How I made my Amish Friendship Starter

This is the recipe I used, I found it online I looked up several but this was the main recipe that kept showing up over and over.

In a non metal bowl mix 1 cup sugar 1 cup milk and 1 cup flour, mix with a non metal spoon to get the lumps out.

Pour mixture into a gallon size ziplock bag that is your day one

day 1. you just made your starter do nothing
day 2. Mush your bag
3. Mush bag
4. Mush bag
5. in a non metal bowl mix 1 cup sugar 1 cup milk and 1 cup of flour mix it well to get out lumps with a non metal spoon or whisk and then pour into your main bag this is called feeding your starter.
Day 6. mush bag
day 7. mush bag
day 8. mush bag
day 9.. yup you guessed it mush bag lol
day 10. Pour the entire contents of the bag into a non metal bowl. Add 1 C sugar, 1 C milk and 1 C flour.
Measure out 4 separate batters of 1 Cup each and place into 4 one gallon size ziplock bags. Keep one of the bags for yourself to keep yours going and with what is left in the bowl you can make a batch of amish cinnamon bread. Give the other 3 bags away to friends . Make sure to print out instructions for them. If its been a couple days make sure to let them know which day the bag is on so they can continue.

here is a great site for some Amish recipes and what to do with your starter in the bowl

Jordans First Lasagna

Jordan (my 16 yr old daughter) made her very first lasagna for hubbies birthday, she did a great job and it was delicious, here is the recipe

Lasagna

1 lb ground beef
2 6oz cans tomato paste
2 cans water (tomato paste cans)
1 C mushrooms
1 t garlic/crushed and chopped (I use 2 or 3 small cloves)
1 t salt
pepper to taste
3 C cottage cheese
10 oz pkg lasagna noodles cooked according to package directions
1 lb mozzerella cheese grated

brown your ground beef and drain, add in your garlic, salt, pepper, tomato paste, water and mushrooms, let it cook til it is all heated through. Scoop a little sauce in the bottom of your 13x9 inch pan so the noodles dont stick. Layer Noodles, hamburger mixture, cottage cheese,mozzerella cheese until pan is full, top with mozzerella cheese and cook at 375 for about 30 minutes YUMMM!
we usually double and make a HUGE batch
