I'm not Amish, but my gramma used to make your "Baby Soup" for us when we were sick, we called it "Milk Toast". It's not exactly the same, but it's VERY VERY similar. She cooked the milk with a LOT of butter (scalded it), then toasted bread and cut it into squares. She placed it in a mug and added the milk mixture and I mean to tell you it was the best thing EVER! I am so glad to know that others are using it still. Thank you for sharing this!
Bread lightly toasted and soaked overnight in milk with a bit of sugar and cardamom in fridge make a glorious bread pudding! From India! Top with pistachio!
We used to have old dark bread soaked in milk with sugar and cinnamon when we were kids, here in Norway. Variations over the same around the world, I guess... 🇳🇴 😊
This bread soup. Ios like a dish my granny made when I was a child over 60 years wit bread and warm milk she didn't add butter it was called panda. I am from N I reland
I was activity director at a large nursing home in Florida. Work have me the opportunity to visit a Mennonite nursing home in a neighboring town. I was invited to join them for an absolutely delicious Amish/Mennonite meal. I was very impressed the cleanliness was impeccable and the food was unforgettable.
I love the family and community vibe in your videos and also how you all enjoy the simple but important things in life. Thanks and keep them coming! We love ❤️ them.💕
Made my Monday just to watch you all having such fun together. Love hearing about your Amish culture and way of life. It is such joy to see happy families. Love Kara too. She is always so cheerful. And of course we love your husband . He is so kind and good and a wonderful family man. Thanks for sharing your happy family.
My husband’s grandmother had Amish relatives & my husband spent summers with her in Indiana. He grew up eating similar sandwiches but he puts peanut butter spread recipe on 1 slice of bread & on other slice of bread he puts butter then filled in the middle with ham, cheese, pickles & onions. I admit when he first prepared it I was a little shocked. Nice to heR about yours & Kara’s childhood recipes & way of life.
I have so much fun watching you. I didn't realize how much I cook like the amish. I love say to myself " Yes that's how we always did it". Can you guess I'm Dutch. We may not be amish but church dinners were big part of my life too.
Hi Lynette, my mother's mother was born in Goshen, Indiana and raised Amish. Her. name was Ida Mae Yoder. She married Joseph Gerber, they were Mennonites and lived in Kansas. I grew up with so many stories and on "bread and milk"! One story I'll share: my mother went to nursing school, graduated in the early forties; she and a friend caught a train to Oregon and never went back! I grew up in southeastern Washington. That is where my mother became a Christian, as well as myself...in a tiny Baptist church. I have been getting to know my long lost cousins over the last few years, they are quite modern. Love your vids!
We just moved to Tampa, Florida from the Cleveland, Ohio area. “Amish Country” is probably one of the only places I will be visiting whenever I go back to Ohio. Troyer, Ohio has a gorgeous small grocery story with their trail bologna and it is amazing. I grew up around “Old Order Amish” in Homerville, Ohio until I was twelve and saw all of Sunday services move around their community. So many wonderful childhood memories for me are of their simple and pleasant way of life. You and your sweet family are so comforting to me. I used to fall asleep to the sound of horses drawing buggies and the clippity clip of their hooves on the road in the summer with the windows open. 🥰
Sonia Steckle Hello!! I live in a suburb of Cleveland and I love my occasional trips to Amish country. It’s bout two hours South of my home and it makes a great one day trip. What a unique way of life!!!
We’ve been to the Walnut Creek cheese and bulk stores several times. Love long weekends in Holmes County, OH and Shipshewana, IN. First had the PB spread there. Our son tried to duplicate it and did a great job. Never heard of it on a sandwich though. Don’t think I’d be a fan but I may try it.
My mom made a delicious soggy bread recipe she called " breaded tomoatoes." 15 oz Canned whole tomatoes, chopped 1/2 stick Melted butter Salt and Pepper Torn white bread, two slices Heat together. So yummy!
Oh my... the peanut butter spread brings back memories!!! I grow up in northwest Indiana, big German/ Dutch community. Not only Amish, Mennonite and German Baptist. My Mom was from Arkansas so biscuits, butter and dumplings were part of my culinary heritage but my Mennonite friends took it to another level altogether!!! Love watching your videos.
I am German ....So I love listening to people speak Pennsylvania -dutch...I love how much of the German language stayed intact in it over all the years. I love Pennsylvania Dutch ....It sounds amazing
My husband and I have a PD background and I call PD German "soft German" and native German"hard German"..My Grandmother wouldn't speak German in front of me but would speak PD with her sisters in the kitchen.Too bad because I loved hearing them!
This brings back so many memories! I ate church sandwiches like this for over 30 years and left the culture a year ago. I will have to make this for my children and keep the tradition going at least a little!😊
Lynn! We tried the peanut butter spread and the cold cut sandwiches and they were AMAZING! My husband is from Jamaica and has some strange combos he loves so it was a sure fire hit! My kids actually loved it. I used WOWbutter for my son and he ended up mostly liking it with just bread and the peanut butter spread. Thank you for sharing! It is so amazing to get to try some cultural dishes and also fantastic that you share with all of us! Also: would LOVE to see more of your sister! You all could be a comedy duo!
Love Walnut Creek store.....love the peanut butter spread. Not tried with meat and cheese though. Love that foods are kinda sweet/ sour. Love the little whole pickled beets. Yum. My daughter made the peanut butter spread for gifts one Christmas...love Amish country. Farms are so clean. Flowers are always beautiful...love just riding through the country...enjoy your vlogs.
This was interesting! The Amish church meal has advanced quite a bit since I was a little Amish girl. We usually had cheese and bread, and the peanut butter spread. Some people served a strawberry spread which also had marshmallow cream in it. Seldom did we have meat. But always pickles and red beets. No cookies.
Im from Mildmay Ontario and we have lots of Amish people ..They call themselves Midanights and ride horse and buggy and work in their fields with hard labour and horses....
Once again, a delightful video! I love seeing your sister and Nic and the children with you. I didn't know about the peanut butter concoction, but I'd sure give it a try. We used to visit Holmes County at least once a year when we visited my parents in Pennsylvania. We'd spend the night at Zinck's. I miss getting to visit. Such a fun destination and so beautiful!
I live in Wayne county (Ohio), so these meats and cheeses are staples in our house. My husband could eat a lunch meat and cheese sandwich every single day 😊
Thank you. I grew up going to Amish Country in Ohio my whole life. As I got older I unfortunately was not able to go. I grew up in Bradenton and would visit Pinecrest and the Amish restaurants in the area but nothing like going to Sugar Creek. So glad I found you and now I can make some of the food I miss.
Way tooooooo excited when I saw the Troyer's trail bologna. I have two in my freezer right now. I grew up Mennonite in Medina County but live in Wyoming. The cheeses and the trail bologna always come home with us every time we visit family. It is a Christmas order too. Love listening to your stories and suggestions.
I enjoy your videos so very much! Discovered them about a week ago. Enjoying catching up on the past ones. Your sister is so precious. God bless you and your sweet family.
I love it when you cook especially old traditional recipes, and with family-Ive made a couple of yours, nummy! I miss snacks and fellowship! I’ve never paid attention to know there are both marshmallow cream and fluff! My uncle eats peanut butter and bologna, while it sound peculiar I would love it, Im sure! Cheerio!
Thanks for sharing! I love when you share Amish recipes. Have you heard of Shoo Fly Pie? I had it in PA, and would love to see you recreate it! I had it as a kid and I’ve wanted to make it myself ever since then lol
Yes :)) You finally made Amish Church Spread. It’s so good dipped in slice apples. Thanks:)) Where’s the whoopie pies ?? I have always wanted to make whoopie pies but haven’t found a good recipe :))))
I live in Greenville SC and the peanut butter spread you made we have done something close we use the peanut butter and syrup and just eat it or add jelly. When I was young 40 or so years ago at school we peanut butter spread and jelly with vegetables soup and dip the sandwich in it, it was so good I miss it love your channel
I have not seen ring bologna and so many years. I have lived in Georgia since 1976, but I was born and raised in Lima Ohio. Ring bologna was always a treat.
Your "soup" is the exact ingredients of a dish my grandparents use to eat during the Great Depression. My grandmother and grandfather use to tell stories. In order to make bread stretch they would heat milk from milking their cow and break up bread ends or crusts of bread and make soup for the family to eat. The soft inside of the bread was saved for sandwiches, toast etc.
My brother used to eat bread soaked in milk with sugar on it for a snack. I dont know where he got it from, but my parents were kids in the Depression, and I guess it might've come from that time.
I grew up in Pennsylvania with surrounded by the amish and mennonite culture. My grandfather would eat coffee soup. Bread in a bowl covered with coffee. Another favorite from Pa. Dutch is chicken corn soup. Spoke one time with Mennonite family from Ohio and was surprised that they never heard of it, it's one of my favorite comfort foods. It's interesting how the culture is so different from from state to state. Enjoy your videos, brings back fond memories.
I grew up near a large Amish and Mennonite community in the Midwest. I love this spread and came to know it as Church Spread. My family enjoys this spread, but I do make a lighter version so it’s not quiet as rich since I make it often. I just combine equal parts of PB and marshmallow cream, a few TBSP of maple syrup and just enough water to achieve the right consistency. We make the same sandwich, but we like this spread with pretty much anything. 😁
This was such a neat video! My family is not Amish or Mennonite, but I do have a strong Pennsylvania Dutch heritage and my great grandparents spoke the dialect fluently. The soup reminded me of corn pie with milk poured over it! Have you had that before?
My very best friend lives in Northern Indiana and her parents were raised Amish. She has made Amish peanut butter for me many times and always serves it on homemade bread. Yum Yum...it is such a treat !! I love when you do these types of videos.
I was happy to find this video! I’ve read lots of books about the Amish and this church lunch meal was described just as you show it here. I didn’t grow up Amish, however; my father was a farmer and never had any gasoline-powered tools! He and my mother were married during the Great Depression when so many things were rationed, like car tires and even sugar. As they got used to doing things the hard way, like most other farmers did then, he didn’t change. (They did move into town later, where they found easier jobs, but continued gardening and canning.). I’m 76 and can still remember that life was difficult on the farm, yet I have fond memories of living there, planting and growing large gardens and canning almost all of our food. I’m going to make the Amish style peanut butter for my grandsons! Thanks!
Funny enough my mum would do warm milk with bread in it. I had totally forgotten about it until I watched the video I don't know what she called it. I never had it.
after the war in the UK. bread and milk was a staple diet for us kids. also given in hospitals for tea, after having your tonsils out, along with oxo and bread, easy to swallow
My mom made warm milk soup if we were sick. In the summer we had cold bread soup for supper. It was bread, sugar, and sliced bananas and cold milk. My dad came home for lunch so we had a smaller meal for supper. Sometimes we had black raspberries instead of bananas. My mom grew up Amish. Her pie’s were the best.
Sally Souter-Smith my grandfather ate this during the depression. He would tell us that it was all that they could afford. He would occasionally eat it as an adult. We would always think it was so odd. But I miss watching him make it. He called it Sop.
When I was little I had peanut butter and syrup on toast. I loved it. I'm not Amish but a friend of mine was when I lived in Michigan. I was always went to their store and got their cheese and some meat. Loved the cheese.
This was so interesting. The closest I ever came to anything like this is regular peanut butter with marsh mellow fluff. I don't think I would appreciate it with meat and pickles. Your content is so interesting. I understand that it is comforting to have some of the foods that you grew up with. I miss the sweet sour dishes my mom made and the baking my dad made.
Yes and we add different ingredients like raisins, sprinkles, cheese, coconut flakes. Very different so when you made the bread soup, it reminded me of capirotada!
@@prispenzo807 Yes! Mom only makes it for the beginning of Lent Season once a year. One thing I find interesting is that as you get to know people from different regions/areas (of Mexico), they have their own twist of making it. I have to admit that as a child I did not care for it. I love it now!
Thank u. And please know that your channel is healing and uplifting. I come from PA. And zmy Smish and Mennonite Friends were wonderful. I miss that part. I live in AZ now. And stumbled accross this. I have shared. And Pray u continue. Thank u.
@@olivaohlson8323 obviously not Lynette, but my church does haystack suppers too! We do basically a build-your-own taco salad. It's great for having company after church because each family can bring one component. We use corn chips, lettuce, tomatoes, beans, taco seasoned meat, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. Mormons add pineapple, and from what I've heard, Amish use saltine crackers instead of chips.
I'm mormon and we definitely put pineapple on ours, but ours is more of a rice dish than a salad. It's white rice with a chicken and gravy thing and then you top it with whatever you like. I like crunchy Asian noodles, almond slivers, and pineapple on mine.
I can see how the combo would work, the flavor profile is sweet and salty. The cheese is creamy and salty. Peanut butter spread seems like a good thing for cakes too. Lots of fun watching you ladies together!
Some Coles stores sell Marshmallow fluff in the International isle. usafoods.com.au have a store in Melbourne or you can order online and I’ve seen in at some candy stores.
Meredith you can often get the marshmallow fluff in coles or Woolworths here in Australia it’s around 4.95 or 5.95. Aldi when they do their specials have it too.
You and your sister looks so much alike. And she's funny and her tee shirt is like the red, white & blue popsicles! Thanks for sharing part of your heritage.
Holmes county is my home away from home. My FAVORITE place to vacation. I have a dear friend who is Amish from Millersburg. Walnut Creek foods is one of my "must go to" places in the area.
I probably shouldn’t watch- I will want to go snack lol 😆 Edited to add: There is an Amish store close to me that sells the Walnut Creek brand. We are in Southern IN. I go there a lot. I think the food is sooo good and I also really appreciate the quality!
Emmalee Buzzard I grew up in Bloomington and the Odon Essen Haus catered our wedding 15 years ago this August. The food was amazing and that homemade bread with peanut butter spread! 🙌🏻
Lynette, last year we visited Holmes Co. and Wayne Co. Ohio. for our vacation. We visited some wonderful places and ate at some excellent restaurants. Most of the places we ate, they had the delicious Amish Peanut Butter Spread, I definitely brought some home with me. However, I am so happy that I can now try to make my own. We did visit Walnut Creek Cheese, we couldn't make a big purchase as we were traveling by car, but we did try some. Thank you for sharing.
I'm not Amish, but my gramma used to make your "Baby Soup" for us when we were sick, we called it "Milk Toast". It's not exactly the same, but it's VERY VERY similar.

Me too
Bread lightly toasted and soaked overnight in milk with a bit of sugar and cardamom in fridge make a glorious bread pudding! From India! Top with pistachio!
That sounds great. Kind of like something my mom used to make me when I had a stomach flu as a kid. Just toast, hot milk and sugar.
Isn't that Shahi tukda? It's amazing dessert though.
We used to have old dark bread soaked in milk with sugar and cinnamon when we were kids, here in Norway. Variations over the same around the world, I guess... 🇳🇴 😊
Sharon Soni yes! Yes! So delicious.
LottaTroublemaker sounds very good too.
Oh my! You and your sister could be twins! What a sweetie pie you baby girl is! Love your videos, great recipe ideas!
👍🏻😀
Love your sister!! You should have her as a guest more often!!

We lived near Holmes County OH and always would buy the "fluffer-nutter" at the local shops. In absolutely delicious!!!
THANK YOU for saying Lancaster correctly! 🤗🙌🏼
Your content is so interesting! Thank you for sharing this with us. Would love to learn more about how you grew up as an Amish girl!
The genes run strong in your family.
Great video and great to see your "twin" sister. Such a beautiful family!! God bless you all!!🙏🙏💗
Emmy showed your video today and I could not have been happier for you 👍🏼
That was so sweet of her!!
And tell your followers all about those wedding meals!! So fun and so YUM!
How fun! You & your sister are a hoot together!
Also, I know I’m pregnant when I want a peanut butter, honey, pepper jack cheese & pepperoni sandwich.
😂👍🏽
Haha, Kaden's description of the baby soup was spot on. So good to see Nic and Kara. Oaklynn is getting so big.
Hi Lynette, my mother's mother was born in Goshen, Indiana and raised Amish. Her. name was Ida Mae Yoder. She married Joseph Gerber, they were Mennonites and lived in Kansas. I grew up with so many stories and on "bread and milk"! One story I'll share: my mother went to nursing school, graduated in the early forties; she and a friend caught a train to Oregon and never went back! I grew up in southeastern Washington. That is where my mother became a Christian, as well as myself...in a tiny Baptist church. I have been getting to know my long lost cousins over the last few years, they are quite modern. Love your vids!
You girls are so sweet. I totally love learning about your culture thanks for sharing
I been watching videos for 15 months. And enjoy seeing different life styles from Amish to mennonite and regular Christian
It’s not too out of the ordinary, kids have been eating cheddar cheese & peanut butter crackers for years 😊
Ooh! My grandma used to have those at her house and they were so yummy.
We just moved to Tampa, Florida from the Cleveland, Ohio area. “Amish Country” is probably one of the only places I will be visiting whenever I go back to Ohio.

My mom made a delicious soggy bread recipe she called " breaded tomoatoes."
15 oz Canned whole tomatoes, chopped
1/2 stick Melted butter
Salt and Pepper
Torn white bread, two slices
Heat together. So yummy!
My mom made that too. She was from PA and lived in Ohio, but not Amish.

I am German ....So I love listening to people speak Pennsylvania -dutch...I love how much of the German language stayed intact in it over all the years. I love Pennsylvania Dutch ....It sounds amazing
My PD grandmother made this all the time for me as a child but added a fried egg on top. She add whipped honey on top of her peanut butter sandwiches.
My husband and I have a PD background and I call PD German "soft German" and native German"hard German"..My Grandmother wouldn't speak German in front of me but would speak PD with her sisters in the kitchen.Too bad because I loved hearing them!
I love hearing about you talk about stuff as simple as Amish church service that I grew up knowing all about.
You guys are just the sweetest-really enjoyed seeing you and your sister together!! Thanks for sharing these recipes!!

MaryAnn Beachy, I had a quilt made by an Amish woman whose last name was Beachy in Topeka Indiana!!
I'm in Illinois near Arthur and we have a lot of Amish neighbors by the name of Beachy.
I believe there is an Amish group called Beachy Amish. I could be mistaken.
Im from Mildmay Ontario and we have lots of Amish people ..They call themselves Midanights and ride horse and buggy and work in their fields with hard labour and horses....
Nichole Livesay Peachy not beachy

Thanks for sharing! I love when you share Amish recipes. Have you heard of Shoo Fly Pie? I had it in PA, and would love to see you recreate it! I had it as a kid and I’ve wanted to make it myself ever since then lol
Hello from South East Ohio! We LOVE Walnut Creek!
Yes :)) You finally made Amish Church Spread. It’s so good dipped in slice apples. Thanks:)) Where’s the whoopie pies ?? I have always wanted to make whoopie pies but haven’t found a good recipe :))))
I live in Greenville SC and the peanut butter spread you made we have done something close we use the peanut butter and syrup and just eat it or add jelly. When I was young 40 or so years ago at school we peanut butter spread and jelly with vegetables soup and dip the sandwich in it, it was so good I miss it love your channel
You and your sister are so alike! You even sound alike :D Loved these recipes, the sandwich was so interesting!
I have not seen ring bologna and so many years. I have lived in Georgia since 1976, but I was born and raised in Lima Ohio. Ring bologna was always a treat.
Your "soup" is the exact ingredients of a dish my grandparents use to eat during the Great Depression. My grandmother and grandfather use to tell stories.

My brother used to eat bread soaked in milk with sugar on it for a snack. I dont know where he got it from, but my parents were kids in the Depression, and I guess it might've come from that time.
My dad used to call it 'pobbies' warm milk, bread and sugar
We called it milk toast.
we called this graveyard stew.
I grew up in Pennsylvania with surrounded by the amish and mennonite culture. My grandfather would eat coffee soup. Bread in a bowl covered with coffee. Another favorite from Pa. Dutch is chicken corn soup. Spoke one time with Mennonite family from Ohio and was surprised that they never heard of it, it's one of my favorite comfort foods. It's interesting how the culture is so different from from state to state. Enjoy your videos, brings back fond memories.
My mom used to make a similar recipe that we called "peanut butter fluff." We would make sandwiches and have apple slices on the side.
Pennsylvanian here. I grew up on peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches. They're even better when made mountain pie style. Delicious.
I grew up near a large Amish and Mennonite community in the Midwest. I love this spread and came to know it as Church Spread. My family enjoys this spread, but I do make a lighter version so it’s not quiet as rich since I make it often. I just combine equal parts of PB and marshmallow cream, a few TBSP of maple syrup and just enough water to achieve the right consistency. We make the same sandwich, but we like this spread with pretty much anything. 😁
I grew up in Ontario, Canada. Bread and milk with brown sugar sprinkled on it was a favourite bedtime snack for us kids.
When you hate peanut butter, but feel compelled to make the peanut butter spread......
I've eaten peanut butter 3 times today! Lol
Try almond butter or cashew butter
Great recipes, ladies. Thanks for sharing your tradition s and customs with us. God bless you both.
This was such a neat video! My family is not Amish or Mennonite, but I do have a strong Pennsylvania Dutch heritage and my great grandparents spoke the dialect fluently. The soup reminded me of corn pie with milk poured over it! Have you had that before?
Ooh!! What's corn pie? I love corn and pie!
www.allrecipes.com/recipe/85166/pennsylvania-dutch-corn-pie/
My Grandmother came from the Brethren out of Ohio. She used to make this for us when we were growing up. I loved it with her homemade bread.
I’m on Weight Watchers now ( trying to shed the COVID 20 pounds I’ve gained) but someday I’d love to try that peanut butter spread. Seems interesting.
My very best friend lives in Northern Indiana and her parents were raised Amish. She has made Amish peanut butter for me many times and always serves it on homemade bread. Yum Yum...it is such a treat !! I love when you do these types of videos.
That was really neat to watch.

In my part of the UK, my mother would break bread into a pan with warm milk and a little sugar. Usually eaten if children are ill and called pobs.
Funny enough my mum would do warm milk with bread in it. I had totally forgotten about it until I watched the video I don't know what she called it. I never had it.

I was just thinking the same thing, my dad always calls it 'pobbies'....must be a UK thing 😂
My mom made warm milk soup if we were sick. In the summer we had cold bread soup for supper. It was bread, sugar, and sliced bananas and cold milk. My dad came home for lunch so we had a smaller meal for supper. Sometimes we had black raspberries instead of bananas. My mom grew up Amish. Her pie’s were the best.
Sally Souter-Smith my grandfather ate this during the depression. He would tell us that it was all that they could afford. He would occasionally eat it as an adult. We would always think it was so odd. But I miss watching him make it. He called it Sop.
When I was little I had peanut butter and syrup on toast. I loved it. I'm not Amish but a friend of mine was when I lived in Michigan. I was always went to their store and got their cheese and some meat. Loved the cheese.
HOW (???) have you NEVER had dill pickles?? Girl- you are missing out!!
Dill pickle and peanut butter sandwiches are amazing! (But I like Bread and Butter Pickles and peanut butter as well.)
I am so addicted to your channel. I love it. I just found I will be sharing for everybody to learn how to make these wonderful things.
This was so interesting. The closest I ever came to anything like this is regular peanut butter with marsh mellow fluff. I don't think I would appreciate it with meat and pickles. Your content is so interesting. I understand that it is comforting to have some of the foods that you grew up with. I miss the sweet sour dishes my mom made and the baking my dad made.
Indiana native here! I’m not Amish, but I buy the peanut butter spread from the Amish people here. It’s so good!!!
In our Mexican culture we have “capirotada “ which some people make the bread soggy but I prefer mine a bit crunchy
Yes and we add different ingredients like raisins, sprinkles, cheese, coconut flakes. Very different so when you made the bread soup, it reminded me of capirotada!
@@prispenzo807 Yes! Mom only makes it for the beginning of Lent Season once a year. One thing I find interesting is that as you get to know people from different regions/areas (of Mexico), they have their own twist of making it. I have to admit that as a child I did not care for it. I love it now!
Thank u. And please know that your channel is healing and uplifting. I come from PA. And zmy Smish and Mennonite Friends were wonderful. I miss that part. I live in AZ now. And stumbled accross this. I have shared. And Pray u continue. Thank u.
And whoever is going to host it...their home gets a VERY THOROUGH cleaning first. And what about those haystack suppers?? 😊
Yes!! The whole place gets scoured usually!
I have an Amish friend who has told me about haystacks before; they sound quite good :)
@@LynetteYoder I would love to know what a haystack supper is please!
@@olivaohlson8323 obviously not Lynette, but my church does haystack suppers too! We do basically a build-your-own taco salad. It's great for having company after church because each family can bring one component. We use corn chips, lettuce, tomatoes, beans, taco seasoned meat, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. Mormons add pineapple, and from what I've heard, Amish use saltine crackers instead of chips.
I'm mormon and we definitely put pineapple on ours, but ours is more of a rice dish than a salad. It's white rice with a chicken and gravy thing and then you top it with whatever you like. I like crunchy Asian noodles, almond slivers, and pineapple on mine.
Gosh you and your sister are two peas in a pod. Beautiful family and I really enjoy your vlogs xxx
My husband actually likes Aldi’s Muenster cheese
I can see how the combo would work, the flavor profile is sweet and salty. The cheese is creamy and salty. Peanut butter spread seems like a good thing for cakes too. Lots of fun watching you ladies together!
Yep for sure lynette and her sister could pass for twins.both look so much alike...in the faces
As an Ohioan, I've had this. My family buys jars of this spread from Der Dutchman! My mother LOVES THIS STUFF.
I remember the bread soup when I was a kid in Australia. We don't have marshmallow cream here so that's just a mystery to me.
Some Coles stores sell Marshmallow fluff in the International isle. usafoods.com.au have a store in Melbourne or you can order online and I’ve seen in at some candy stores.
Meredith Greenslade there are recipes for the marshmallow cream. 😀
Meredith you can often get the marshmallow fluff in coles or Woolworths here in Australia it’s around 4.95 or 5.95. Aldi when they do their specials have it too.
You and your sister looks so much alike. And she's funny and her tee shirt is like the red, white & blue popsicles! Thanks for sharing part of your heritage.
Add some cinnamon, brown sugar, and raisins to that bread soup and I think I might have a new dessert on my hands.😂😂
🤪
I was thinking the same thing! Almost a bread pudding dessert soup. 😂
Another wonderful cooking video. Please continue to share with us! Oh, and Walnut Creek definitely gave you the hook up!
You should do a Haystack demo.
😍
Yes im not sure what a haystack is. Would love that recipe
I don’t know what a Haystack is either. It will be interesting to find out😊👍
Are these chocolate no bake cookies? We were raised calling them haystacks.
Thanks for the recipes. Love your videos.
We used to buy this in Shipshewana IN, and it was called "Church Spread". I tried to recreate it and it just wasn't as good.
Holmes county is my home away from home. My FAVORITE place to vacation. I have a dear friend who is Amish from Millersburg. Walnut Creek foods is one of my "must go to" places in the area.
I’m surprised you’ve never tried dill pickles! I’d love to see you try them in a video.
You live such a beautiful life, I love seeing the kids and the recipes look scrumptious.
We get Walnut Creek products here in Wisconsin in our Amish community.
We buy from the Amish and use walnut creek, as well. We love it!!!
Ahhh nice to see your sister again I saw her in some of your videos when you lived in Ohio thanks for sharing Your kids are adorable ♥️
I probably shouldn’t watch- I will want to go snack lol 😆
Edited to add: There is an Amish store close to me that sells the Walnut Creek brand. We are in Southern IN. I go there a lot. I think the food is sooo good and I also really appreciate the quality!
Emmalee Buzzard I grew up in Bloomington and the Odon Essen Haus catered our wedding 15 years ago this August. The food was amazing and that homemade bread with peanut butter spread! 🙌🏻
I am so glad I found this video again! I was looking for the peanut butter spread recipe.
The baby soup would be good with cinnamon and peaches .
And a little sugar sprinkled over top.
Lynette, last year we visited Holmes Co. and Wayne Co. Ohio. for our vacation. We visited some wonderful places and ate at some excellent restaurants. Most of the places we ate, they had the delicious Amish Peanut Butter Spread, I definitely brought some home with me. However, I am so happy that I can now try to make my own. We did visit Walnut Creek Cheese, we couldn't make a big purchase as we were traveling by car, but we did try some. Thank you for sharing.
Mmm, YUM! Lynette, try Kosher Pickles. Claussen is a name brand
or vlasic. Thnx for the recipes.
DOUBLE 👭 TROUBLE ..M♡M of 5
Claussens is really good
You are so right, Amish deli meat and cheese are way better than store bought. I'm blessed to live around Amish and Mennonites. Connie in rural Pa.
