A recent weekend trip to a bed and breakfast in Shipshewana netted a few tasty recipes. Amish Peanut Butter Spread was served at several restaurants. The smooth creamy concoction was wonderfully decadent served on homemade sourdough bread. And, from the B&B, Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad was refreshingly delicious. Happy eating!
