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.
The Lancaster County Amish also do the peanut butter spread, although the recipes vary. Ours often was a cooked version with molasses. Some things in the meal vary but the peanut butter is used by most of the Amish everywhere. We didn't serve any kind of soup with church dinner. amish-heritage.org
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.
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.💕
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.
Wow! I’ve got to say you and your sister look so much alike! I enjoyed this video so much...may very well be one of my favorites. Holmes county is one of my favorite places to go. It’s a few hours away but fortunately we have J.R.’s Market (a Mennonite general store) which is close to us and carries all the wonderful Troyers foods as well as bulk and canned items and all else you’d expect in an Amish/Mennonite general store. An added bonus is The Country Crust Bakery next door. I have seen your video many years ago about your upbringing but would love to hear you and Nick tell us more (or even again). Great video..
Virginia Troyer -YES! As a matter of fact in one of Lynette’s posts of when they went to J.R.s one time to buy pumpkins I commented about that and she indicated that we must live relatively close. I love shopping there. I’ve said if the community would just put in a good sit down restaurant and a good fabric/quilt shop I’d be a happy gal!
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.
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!
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.
Hi sweet Lynette and Kara. We just returned from a trip to Lancaster PA, we go several times a year and love to drive through the farmlands there. We always have a PA Dutch meal there, usually involving a baked dried corn dish, chow-chow, brown butter noodles, potatoes, veggies and lots of meat! Have you shared how many of your family left the Amish to become Menonite and how that came about? Was there a mass exodus or one family leaving? I would find that interesting. You two look like twins, but I'm sure you've heard that before! I think I've watched this video TWICE, good both times. Lots of love from BanDana Gramma ❤❤
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.
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!
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!
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!😊
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!
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.
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....
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.
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.
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 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 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 😊
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!
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!
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.
We are not Amish but my sister lived near an Amish community in Minnesota. She gave me an Amish cookbook they had published as a Christmas gift one year when I was in my early teens. At the time I was disappointed that I didn't get a "better" gift, but I am now so thankful she gave it to me. That little cookbook taught me how to cook and bake and I still reference all the time. I didn't need a mixer or food processor or any other fancy equipment to make the recipes, which was really important when I was first starting out on my own and didn't have much.
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.
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 :))))
My mom used to make something like it I still do. Warm up milk and break up saltine crackers and stir til crackers soaked. Makes a delicious mush which is gentle to the stomach and the sick. Loved Munster and Colby cheese too is hard to find. Lancaster Amish seems also to have applesauce and pickled beets at their church meal. We had Amish and Mennonite friends and were often staying up in bird and hand and Quarryville over the years. My father was German/ Hungarian my husband German/ Swiss/ Irish. Both were raised on foods identical to what u make and traditional to our family background. Love what u share brings back many memories many I still cook.
I live in West Virginia, we are about 2 hours from SugarCreek/Berlin area of Ohio, My husband and I try to go to the Amish bulk stores 3/4 times per year. We love going to Walnut Creek Cheese! It is a Must, every trip we take! We also like to stop at Troyers Market! I love watching your videos! I just love you and your lovely family!
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.
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?
We have that peanut butter in Loogootee, southern Indiana. We still travel an hour back down there to get bread and peanut butter from the Amish country store. The best!
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 😁
We buy the spread anytime we pass through someplace that has an Amish store or restaurant. Never knew it was for sandwiches. We usually put on toast or English muffins. Love ring bologna too! My husband grew up eating bologna spread.
I live 25 minutes from walnut creek and love shopping at the bulk food stores! We ate something called coffee soup which was bread on a plate with coffee poured on top and milk on top of that and sprinkled with sugar.
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!
ecially the corn salsa! I would love to on day go to the store but I live in Louisiana. W 14:20 hen I saw that the video said Amish church lunch my mouthwatered
This was an experiment for me; because I don't care for peanut butter that often (hardly ever eat). I love to see what other cultures eat and I always atleast try the recipes. Saying all that I am French and we grew up eating like the depression era French food. Fried potatoes w/onions and homemade rendered lard on bread cut into bite size pieces (just for an idea). My father's bed-time snack was a glass if milk w/ bite-size pieces of bread w/ salt and pepper (I loved it as a child). Our "chicken-Pot-Pie" is nothing like the pot pies today. Ours was cooked shredded chicken and wide, wide homemade noodles using the chicken brothe in your flour to make the noodles. I enjoy watching You girls show us Your up-bringing! TFS! Judyxx PS We live in Mio, MI. in Amish Country and we have our own "Amish Walmart". Our own "Amish Diary" fresh meats, cheeses, Ice Cream, " Amish Lumber Yard" "Amish Bulk Store", "Amish Fabric Store" MY FAVORITE!, "Amish Furniture" of every kind of furniture You could want! this is just to name a few we have so much more and we use them because we back our local businesses!
@@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’m from Indiana and there is a nice little local Amish restaurant that is really popular that most of us eat at. They have the peanut butter spread at all the tables. It is my favorite to put on their homemade rolls ☺️ I can’t wait to go home next month and eat there. I sure do miss it.
I live 2 hours from Berlin, Ohio. Definitely recognize your products. They are so delicious! I try to go to Amish Country about once a month. Definitely one of my happy places! :)
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.
Trail Bologna - Yum. The cheeses from Walnut Creek. The Ashery for bulk items. I could go on and on. I was born and raised near “Amish Country” in Ohio. I miss home. Thank You for sharing and keep ‘em coming ❤
My mom used to have something called coffee soup which is coffee bread and sugar ... her father was german and we have a pa. dutch heritage somewhere in our line
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.
Oh my! You and your sister could be twins! What a sweetie pie you baby girl is! Love your videos, great recipe ideas!
👍🏻😀

Me too
I like dipping bread in milk tea.
@@stacyrich113 Not sure about dipping 'bread', but try toasting it and adding NO butter, but just honey, & THEN dip into your milk tea. Yummy!!!
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.
Love your sister!! You should have her as a guest more often!!
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

We lived near Holmes County OH and always would buy the "fluffer-nutter" at the local shops. In absolutely delicious!!!

Loved your video love seeing your sister she's a sweet as you are
First of all, y’all look like twins 👯!
Kara and Ericia look like twins !
Omg I’m hungry
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!
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.
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.
So nice of you sharing your Amish stories and having your sister on with you...

Great video and great to see your "twin" sister. Such a beautiful family!! God bless you all!!🙏🙏💗
Hi sweet Lynette and Kara. We just returned from a trip to Lancaster PA, we go several times a year and love to drive through the farmlands there. We always have a PA Dutch meal there, usually involving a baked dried corn dish, chow-chow, brown butter noodles, potatoes, veggies and lots of meat! Have you shared how many of your family left the Amish to become Menonite and how that came about? Was there a mass exodus or one family leaving? I would find that interesting. You two look like twins, but I'm sure you've heard that before! I think I've watched this video TWICE, good both times. Lots of love from BanDana Gramma ❤❤
You guys are just the sweetest-really enjoyed seeing you and your sister together!! Thanks for sharing these recipes!!
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.

I grew up with so many stories and on "bread and milk"!

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!
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.
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!😊
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!

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
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.
And tell your followers all about those wedding meals!! So fun and so YUM!
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.
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.
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.
My dad used to call it 'pobbies' warm milk, bread and sugar
We called it milk toast.
we called this graveyard stew.
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 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 😊
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!
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!
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.
O yes" bubbly soup" still brings comfort to my spirits especially when I'm sick .
We are not Amish but my sister lived near an Amish community in Minnesota. She gave me an Amish cookbook they had published as a Christmas gift one year when I was in my early teens. At the time I was disappointed that I didn't get a "better" gift, but I am now so thankful she gave it to me. That little cookbook taught me how to cook and bake and I still reference all the time. I didn't need a mixer or food processor or any other fancy equipment to make the recipes, which was really important when I was first starting out on my own and didn't have much.
I didn't hear anything you were saying. I was just looking at Oaklynn. She's such a sweet distraction!💖
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.
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 :))))
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.
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
My mom used to make something like it I still do. Warm up milk and break up saltine crackers and stir til crackers soaked. Makes a delicious mush which is gentle to the stomach and the sick. Loved Munster and Colby cheese too is hard to find. Lancaster Amish seems also to have applesauce and pickled beets at their church meal. We had Amish and Mennonite friends and were often staying up in bird and hand and Quarryville over the years. My father was German/ Hungarian my husband German/ Swiss/ Irish. Both were raised on foods identical to what u make and traditional to our family background. Love what u share brings back many memories many I still cook.
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.
I grew up in Ontario, Canada. Bread and milk with brown sugar sprinkled on it was a favourite bedtime snack for us kids.
You and your sister are so alike! You even sound alike :D Loved these recipes, the sandwich was so interesting!
I live in West Virginia, we are about 2 hours from SugarCreek/Berlin area of Ohio, My husband and I try to go to the Amish bulk stores 3/4 times per year. We love going to Walnut Creek Cheese! It is a Must, every trip we take! We also like to stop at Troyers Market! I love watching your videos! I just love you and your lovely family!
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.
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.
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/
We have that peanut butter in Loogootee, southern Indiana. We still travel an hour back down there to get bread and peanut butter from the Amish country store. The best!
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.
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
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.
Emmy showed your video today and I could not have been happier for you 👍🏼
That was so sweet of her!!
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
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 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.
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.
That was really neat to watch.
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.
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.
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. 😁
We buy the spread anytime we pass through someplace that has an Amish store or restaurant. Never knew it was for sandwiches. We usually put on toast or English muffins. Love ring bologna too! My husband grew up eating bologna spread.
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.
I live 25 minutes from walnut creek and love shopping at the bulk food stores! We ate something called coffee soup which was bread on a plate with coffee poured on top and milk on top of that and sprinkled with sugar.
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.
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 ♥️
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!
ecially the corn salsa! I would love to on day go to the store but I live in Louisiana. W 14:20 hen I saw that the video said Amish church lunch my mouthwatered
My husband actually likes Aldi’s Muenster cheese
I love hearing about you talk about stuff as simple as Amish church service that I grew up knowing all about.
Yep for sure lynette and her sister could pass for twins.both look so much alike...in the faces
This was an experiment for me; because I don't care for peanut butter that often (hardly ever eat). I love to see what other cultures eat and I always atleast try the recipes. Saying all that I am French and we grew up eating like the depression era French food. Fried potatoes w/onions and homemade rendered lard on bread cut into bite size pieces (just for an idea). My father's bed-time snack was a glass if milk w/ bite-size pieces of bread w/ salt and pepper (I loved it as a child). Our "chicken-Pot-Pie" is nothing like the pot pies today. Ours was cooked shredded chicken and wide, wide homemade noodles using the chicken brothe in your flour to make the noodles. I enjoy watching You girls show us Your up-bringing! TFS! Judyxx PS We live in Mio, MI. in Amish Country and we have our own "Amish Walmart". Our own "Amish Diary" fresh meats, cheeses, Ice Cream, " Amish Lumber Yard" "Amish Bulk Store", "Amish Fabric Store" MY FAVORITE!, "Amish Furniture" of every kind of furniture You could want! this is just to name a few we have so much more and we use them because we back our local businesses!
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.
I love the Amish stories too. We had a Amish market and when little went a few times they were so nice. I thought they were like the nuns but married.
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’m from Indiana and there is a nice little local Amish restaurant that is really popular that most of us eat at. They have the peanut butter spread at all the tables. It is my favorite to put on their homemade rolls ☺️ I can’t wait to go home next month and eat there. I sure do miss it.
I’m surprised you’ve never tried dill pickles! I’d love to see you try them in a video.
I live 2 hours from Berlin, Ohio. Definitely recognize your products. They are so delicious! I try to go to Amish Country about once a month. Definitely one of my happy places! :)
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. 😂
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.
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!!!
Trail Bologna - Yum. The cheeses from Walnut Creek. The Ashery for bulk items. I could go on and on. I was born and raised near “Amish Country” in Ohio. I miss home. Thank You for sharing and keep ‘em coming ❤
The baby soup would be good with cinnamon and peaches .
And a little sugar sprinkled over top.
My mom used to have something called coffee soup which is coffee bread and sugar ... her father was german and we have a pa. dutch heritage somewhere in our line
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
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.
