A Sample Recipe!

I wanted to give you a sample of the recipes that we have been putting together. I hope you enjoy it.

Peach Cheesecake

Crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Filling:
2 eggs
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup Amish Family Recipes’ Priscilla’s Peach Jam, plus 1 cup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium size bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the sugar and butter. Mix well and place in the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform cake pan. Make sure to press against the sides and bottom of the pan. Set crust aside.
Prepare the filling by beating the eggs and cream cheese together. Add the sugar and vanilla and continue beating until well blended. Add 1/4 cup peach jam and mix until incorporated. Pour mixture into prepared crust and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Remove cake from oven and top with remaining 1 cup peach jam. Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate overnight.

2 Years are covered

Well we crossed over this week. Ornella is now officially sponsored for 2 years. We only need 9 more years until she is sponsored through adult hood. Thank you everyone who helped make that possible.

Many of you probably saw the article in the Lancaster newspaper regarding the project. We are in conversation with a few others and hopefully this will help build some more awareness.

We are working a few product additions, right now they are still in the research phase, but I will update you when we have more info.

A little more back story!

A little back story- When I came up with this idea about 2 years ago, my partner and I started working towards it and were hitting many roadblocks. Like I referenced before, there were a couple times when we were tempted to throw in the towel.

It was during one of these points that I went to church like I usually do on the weekend. I almost skipped. They said the week before that they were going to show a video of Bono. One of my concerns with this church in the past was that they had gone commercial, and lost their focus on Christ. I thought, oh this will just be about Bono and all the great work he is doing. All well and good, but why do I need to see it?

So I am going in with a bad attitude about what I am about to be fed, and my overall outlook on life was not great due to the roadblocks we were hitting. I am not proud of this mindset, I am just painting the picture as it was.

Well the video was of the interview of Bono by Bill Hybels. I was humbled and blown away. In one morning God came down and changed my attitude completely, and helped relight the fire under my but to get this off the ground.

This project went from being what I believed to be the right direction for my company to being a passion for me. Shortly after this I tried to find the video online to show a friend. Well I guess a that point there was some wrangling over the fact that their was some concert footage in with the interview. I had forgotten about it. Today I decided to look again and lo and behold, youtube had it.

Here is part one, there are six parts, so just keep following the parts in you tube. It is an awesome interview, and for those that are of the christian persuassion, it really slaps you in the head and says wake up. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Bono Video

Almost A Full Month!

Well we are closing in on the end of our first full month in operation. I had hoped to hit 2 years sponsored by the end of '07. We can close, but missed it by about 70 days. I am still thrilled and overwhelmed by the response so far.

I have created a youtube video to capture some of my feelings about the project. This is my first journey into the world of video production so keep that in mind.
