Author Wands Brunstetter introduces her latest book, Amish Friends, with a bit of history as well as introspection on the Amish people. ”New Amish communities continue to appear. There are over 370,000 in the United States. The Amish believe in the authority of the scriptures and adhere to the regulation of their Ordnung, They live a simple, plain way of life. Although their way of life may make it appear they are frozen in time, they do continually adapt to changes in society, including adopting some new technologies. The Amish show a lot of wisdom in the manner they raise their children, live their Christian life and minister to others.”
This book is full of life hacks. A life hack is any trick, shortcut, skill, or novelty method that increases productivity and efficiency, in all walks of life. The first chapter deals with the kitchen. There are hints for cooking various foods and vegetables to using your ironing board for extra counter space. If you over salt a dish add a touch of vinegar it will take away some of the salty taste without having a vinegary taste. There are delightful hacks in the whole book. Tips for Hosting Guests, Tips for Transporting Food, and Tips for Picnics. There are several basic recipes including homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk, homemade mustard, homemade Vinegar and homemade Cheese Sauce.
There are bits of wisdom sprinkled throughout this book. “No person can do Everything but each one can do something.” “Don’t think God for what you think is good; ask Him for what He thinks is good for you.” A smile is a very powerful weapon; you can even break ice with it.” “I you have not often felt the joy of doing a kindly act you have neglected much, mostly yourself.”
I met MS Brunstetter at a book fair several years ago. While I am sure she does not remember me I will never forget her. As a fan of her books, I was giddy with excitement of actually having a chance to chat with a famous author. She was kind and quickly put me at ease. It is a pleasure and an honor to review her books.
Thank you to Netgalley for a review copy of Wanda E. Brunstetter’s Amish Friends Life Hacks. As always my reviews are my unbiased opinions.

This is the best for giving tips for homemaking. I reccomend this for a wedding shower gift or a wedding gift. I was provided a sample of this book and plan to buy it myself when the book is released.

In our world of busyness, we are all looking for ways to make life easier. This book is another beautiful Amish inspired book by Wanda Brunstetter. It is filled will many beautiful pictures, many great hacks, information on the Amish and Mennonite people. It also has a listing of the person who submitted the hack and where they are from.

I am looking forward to getting the full edition of the book. It would make a beautiful gift for anyone, but one you will definitely want in your own cookbook library.

Thanks to Barbour and Netgalley for this sample copy.

This book is fabulous! I would love to have the full copy. There are so many unique tips that I never ever would have thought of. They are short and simple and perfect for a mom that may be low on time but still wants the opportunity to make their life more simple. None of the hacks are complicated and that is what makes it perfect! She has compiled tons of different contributors that all come with a unique point of view. I will definitely be purchasing this book in the future!

Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Life Hacks is a sample of the completed manuscript that makes you want to be first in line to buy the book! A brief history of Amish and Mennonite settlers is followed by over fifty pages of household tips beginning with kitchen and cooking tips. Did you know that all vegetables that grow underground should be cooked starting in cold water while the water for those that grow above ground should be boiling before cooking? Or that baking soda added to caramelizing onions while speed up cooking? There are baking tips and recipes (homemade cool whip!) and tips to host guests. “Hospitality is an often overlooked act of love.” This heartfelt book will make a perfect gift. That is, after you buy the first copy for yourself! 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Barbour Publishing and Wanda E. Brunstetter for this ARC.

Handy little book of tips and tricks from the Amish. Cooking, laundry, and cleaning tips to make house keeping easier. Quick and easy to read guide. Recommend. Thanks for the ARC NetGalley.

This was a very short synopsis of the book. Lots of ideas but I'm not sure the format is the right one. The tips are all just abbreviated ideas.

I started collecting Wanda Brunstetter's books many years ago. She has yet to publish a disappointing book, whether cookbook or romance, they are all just what her fans are looking for. I not only add each new one to my personal library, I gift them to friends and family, they are ALWAYS happy to get a new Brunstetter book.
this book is a collection of the useful tips and hacks that the Brunstetter family uses in their homes. Many I was already using but this old dog has definitely learned some new tricks from this book.
