    Cindy's meal looks quintessentially Amish, and delicious! I get the noodles to make the Amish brown butter noodles from a small Amish market up here in northern Michigan. I just love them when my Crohn's Disease flares up. Sometimes, that, and mashed potatoes are the only foods I can tolerate.

      I have noticed that BLT's have increased in price everywhere. Of course the price of bacon has increased in the grocery store too. I'd be expecting a lot of bacon for that money. Whenever you add bacon to a sandwich or order a side of bacon it tends to be pricey everywhere. Thanks for watching!

    Good choice! Surprised you didn't have to wait in line. We have eaten there many times. The peanut butter spread is also called church spread and served as a snack after a three hour service. I am not sure my Baptist but could handle a three hour service. God Bless and safe travels.

I thought the strawberry pie was the best looking fruit pie ever with crust that looked like shortbread cookies (maybe?). 🍓

      That peanut butter spread was an amazing way to start a meal! I did not try Carly's mac & cheese but she enjoyed it. That strawberry pie was on point! Yes, the crust was a shortbread type of crust. When I make strawberry pies at home I buy a premade pie shell. I prefer the shortbread crust over the traditional graham cracker pie crust.

    It looked like you guys really enjoyed your visit to Amish country, It's about a four hour drive from my house, definitely on my bucket list. You do a great hob editing your videos, always enjoy the music 😊. The food at Katie's all looked scrumptious, especially that roast beef, it would melt in your mouth . Like i mentioned in one of your other videos a friend i worked with would bring ham loaf to work that his wife made it was delicious with some mind of glaze sauce 😊 Your ham loaf looked very good too , and your mashed potatoes and Davids were eye appealing, and Carly's mac n cheese looked delightful. I'm like you Cindy i want my hot foods hot and my cold foods cold. Now that strawberry 🍓 pie made my mouth water, that crust was so light and flaky. Liked the picture with Carly by the horse. Also she had a really pretty shirt on , i couldn't tell if that was a rose on it 👍. While i really enjoyed your trip through amish country. Time for me to have my dinner and get ready for game 7 of the Stanley cup finals. God Bless all of you, you always brighten up my day 🇺🇸🍓🏒

      We did have a great visit to Amish Country. We all liked our entrees at Katie's. We also enjoyed those homemade rolls with the peanut butter spread. mmmmm The glaze sauce on my ham loaf was pineapple. The open faced roast beef with potatoes is one of David's favorites. That strawberry pie was out of this world good!
      Carly actually got to ride the horse with the young Amish man. But the video did not come out of her ride.

    When we arrived last Thursday, our friends in PA prepared a lunch for us in their home. She made ham loaf, and it was also my first time trying it. It was AMAZING! In fact, I would prefer it over standard meat loaf. She used an apricot glaze instead of pineapple, but she also mentioned that some use pineapple. I think it would be great with any type of glaze.
    Glad you enjoyed it, as well. Great review!

    • @vafunseekers

Someone else told me that they have had apricot glaze on the ham loaf. I wanted to order something a little different than my normal and I'm glad I did. Thanks for watching and safe travels! ❤
