My husband, Dan, and / met at
Del Val College and are the proud
parents of Nathaniel (23 months
old) and Gideon (3 months old).
Dan works for Moyer and Son in
plant nutrients and I stay at home
with the boys. Since spring is
Dan’s busy season, the days are
long, but we occupy the time with
cooking, reading, playing, and
counting the days until the
weekend.
This is one of our favorite
recipes and it doesn’t taste healthy
at all! I either serve it alone or with
linguine primavera and a salad.

years old. I am Ginny, Pearl’s
daughter. Jeffrey is my son, Jessi
ca is Jeffrey’s daughter, and

all live in the same area and we all
love Pearl’s cooking. Here is one
of our recipes.

My name is Crystal Bollinger
and I'm from Mifflinburg. / have
lived on the same farm most of my
life. / look forward to June each
year because I find a lot of new
recipes to try throughout the year
that I also read in the Lancaster
Faming.
Our Lancaster Farming paper
starts at my dads house. He reads
it Sunday afternoons. After he is
finished, he brings it to my house,
where my husband is usually the
next to look through it. When I
have a moment, I sit down and look
through it. When we are all
through with it, we pass part of it
on to the neighbor and recycle the
rest for use in my gardens.
