Welcome to 2022!

Thank you for looking at our Recipe page! It is hard to believe that I have been posting recipes since late 2015! I started out with the idea of sharing great recipes from fantastic Amana Colonies cooks! Over the years I have shared recipes from fantastic Amana Colonies cooks, as well as recipes from several church cookbooks that I have, many of the cooks I know to be fantastic cooks!

One of the first recipes I shared is a traditional Amana New Year’s treat – the New Year’s Pretzel. Many people order their pretzel(s) from Hahn’s Bakery in Middle Amana. However you can find a recipe included in Amana cookbooks. One year, curious to try out the recipe, we made some New Year’s pretzels at Zuber’s.

Here is a picture of our pretzels.

Try the New Year’s Pretzel recipe for yourself! As you can see, you can top the pretzel in more than one way!

Happy baking!
