‹ Oven Fried Chicken — My Husband’s Favorite •
The People’s Exchange is an “advertising paper” serving the Amish communities in Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan. It has a circulation of 10,500. It’s printed every two weeks. And, it is FREE.
In The People’s Exchange you can find a “Charming Spinner” to get your clothes “50 to 90% dry” or a “woman safe” driving horse. There are ads for “certified organic” Jersey cattle, for race ponies and for farms. Every issue also contains a “favorite” sent-in-by-reader recipe.
Last week they had the best tasting cake recipe ever. It came out light, fluffy and moist with a wonderful sugary crust. Yummmmmmm…
Last week, The Peoples Exchange had 136 pages.
AMISH POUND CAKE
1 box yellow cake mix (2 layer box)
4 eggs
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup milk
1 pkg.instant vanilla pudding (The recipe didn’t say which size. I used the small box)
brown sugar
cinnamon
Mix together the cake mix, eggs, cream cheese milk and pudding. Pour batter into 2 loaf pans and top with brown sugar and cinnamon. (I was pretty generous.)
Yes, the recipe does use mixes. But, you end up with a cake, fresh from your oven, that TASTES made-from-scratch.
I wish I had some just “picked-from-the-garden” strawberries.

I loved both of these posts! The weather stick is amazing - does it have to be that particular wood?
I wish I could get my hands on the Amish magazine. It’s fascinating to see this way of life - we don’t have an Amish community in Australia, all I know is what I’ve read or seen on the telly. It seems like a time-gone-by to me, so wonderful to have access to services, produce and products with a strong ethical base via the magazine they put out.
Thank you. That was really interesting.

How interesting! Amish magazine … free?
Would love to subscribe to it even for a fee.
Hi Strawberry Lane,
I will call and see if I can get permission to copy their subscription page and put it on my blog. I think a lot of people might be interested in subscribing. It’s a thick magazine and comes out every two weeks. I look forward to it.
