Steph, I am from Kentucky and your Derby party looked absolutely delightful! 😄🐴🙌 The menu was certainly authentic (at least in my "neck of the woods" 😊), and your hats were so well done! I especially loved the horses on the table. Though I have never followed the Derby much, I am an avid horse lover and your clever idea just tickled my heart. I may have to try it some day with my own family. 😃 God bless you and your family, Sister! Thank you for working so hard to make such inspiring, noble-hearted content. 💖

[@kindnessmatters4068]

That was the best rainbow!!! ❤ Gods promises... I can so count on Him to keep His word!! 🥹

[@franceskloos1297]

Those hats were adorable and the kids in a circle was so precious. Your meals look so delicious and so well balanced. You are amazing Mom and wife!!❤️🌹🌸

[@phyllisanngodfrey6137]

Friends, family and food made with love and care…….God is good.😊

[@CKClevmama]

Seeing you with your baby is a beautiful picture of God's faithfulness! Your Kentucky Derby dinner was so inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

[@verlingvine7880]

Your videos are so peaceful and lovely! I have enjoyed every single one of them and am so glad that I found you on KZbin. Do you have a playlist link for the worship songs that you play in your videos? I absolutely love them!

[@wilmascott8296]

Thank you for all the amazing content you put out I really appreciate it your family is so sweet your such a kind Christian woman praying for you and your family

[@lorimalcolm197]

Oh my gosh! All the food. It all looks amazing. I just retired and am now wanting to learn to cook more. It’s always been just my husband and I and he did most of the cooking. Thanks for all the ideas. And I absolutely loved your racetrack and horses for your dinner table, such a great idea. Thanks for your videos. 😀❤

[@ashleyirizarry-diaz6415]

I love the music in the background in like every video? Where can I find the songs or artist you use?

[@NicesArtsHome]

Hi there! Watching from Portugal, Europe! 🙋🏼‍♀️ 🇵🇹 Just found your channel and fell in love with your videos! ❤ Can't wait to see more from you! What a lovely family you have and your videos are just a blessing to watch! 😍 Thanks for sharing your days! God Bless you and your beautiful family! 🙏🏻😘❤️

[@RoseanneReimer]

Veraniki are the best!! Frying them and having them cold is a favourite for road trips. An easy version of veraniki is just layering cottage cheese with noodles and pouring gravy over.

[@rosevillanueva2067]

What a lovely life you have. Love your shows❤

[@parislady6138]

I'm from Kentucky. Burgoo, which is kind of a beef stew, is what they serve at the track. Hotbrowns are made with country ham here.

[@kareneakers9540]

I absolutely love your videos! You are the best wife and mom to your babies! Love your music too God bless you

[@kindnessmatters4068]

I lived in KY for years and now I live 25min from the Derby right inside of IN 😊❤ Cute little party 🐎 💐👒

[@kindnessmatters4068]

Yes, I use roasted red peppers for pimento cheese spread! 😊

[@Jane_575]

Grew up eating those cottage cheese pockets too, but we drizzle them with honey and heavy whipping cream… so good

[@lisaschmitt6277]

I grew up eating verenikyi with schmaunt fat and ruyk varsch too but my husband grew up Amish from PA. We both love verenikyi! Love your inspirational vidoes

[@rebekahschroeder7949]

The table was the sweetest, most simply wonderful, table! 🙌🏻

[@janjentz1053]

Your food is always so beautifully made and looks delicious. Love the way you decorated and set the dining table. Baby is getting big. Thanks for all that you share.

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thank you, Jan ❤

[@karenshaw2204]

I grew up in Tennessee and continue to live in this lovely state. For the last several years I’ve grown my own pimento peppers. I roast them and remove the skins. I also chop up bread and butter pickles I’ve made, then add mayo. My mom used American cheese which is highly processed so I use Muenster cheese which is delicious.

[@judyrempel9465]

I grew up knowing Wrenakje & Kielkje both...😅 We served it with a cream sauce & jam and usually a side of ham. Definitely a familiar meal😁

[@lorizacharias3797]

Yes I grew up having veraniki and kielke cream gravy and varsht( known as smoked farmer sausage) in the last years we also got introduced to spaetzles almost like kielke but it’s a thin dough that’s put through a course sieve it’s put directly over boiling water,we have a specific tool for speatzle making!

[@byTaheryah]

The Kentucky Derby setup was so cute! I loved the horses and gravel detail. I've been wanting to make homemade french fries for a long time, this inspired me to give it a try 🌻

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

Your potato peeling skills are top notch! Thank you for the ideas!

[@maryannkilduff8659]

Wow inspiration is quite the understatement. Wonder Woman springs to mind and love watching your videos. Keep them coming ❤

[@donnaowens5936]

Love the Kentucky derby video so cute . I think I’ve heard of a Kentucky derby pie . It’s like a chocolate chip pecan pie . My family’s from the south your menu sounded great an delicious . ❤

[@kindnessmatters4068]

Yes, derby pie is like a chocolate version pecan pie!! 😊

[@KatherineDeGroot]

I'm always looking for good dinner ideas, especially this time of year. These all look so good and I need to try that steak marinade. As always, thank you for another beautiful + inspiring video.

[@donnaplumridge9769]

Your Kentucky Derby hats reminded me of the Easter bonnets I grew up wearing as a little girl! lol! Oh I used to love getting dressed up in my Easter finest for Sunday school on Easter Sunday. Sooo looked forward to go shopping with my grandmother and mom and pick out my Easter outfit ( dress, coat, white gloves, white patent leather, Mary Jane shoes and of course, my Easter bonnet!). Your meal plan for the weak looked delicious, especially your Kentucky Derby meal ( sounded delicious! ).

[@cynthiawhitcomb1780]

The table decoration was adorable! So creative.

[@lindagailsch]

My husband's German family make what they call Kase Noodles that are very like the Veranekji with the cottage cheese filling. What an amazing video. Everything looked so good!

[@thisgoldenhour]

That sounds delicious 😋

[@dakotadazzle]

Yes! Cheese buttons. 😊

[@thesewildflowersblooming3974]

My Mennonite great-grandma made veranekji... but even better she would fill it with blueberries and fry it in oil. My childhood favorite ❤

[@melkay638]

I sure do know what wereniki are! Being a girl from Manitoba, we had it often growing up. We also ate it with schmaunt fat, and forma varsht. Delish!

[@lynnwarren6127]

How fun!!! Your kids were adorable! Look up Derby pie. It’s delicious!!! I live in TN and have several friends make this during derby week. I make really good pimento cheese but I just buy a jar of diced pimentos from the store. How was it with the roasted peppers?

[@debidurham984]

Hello Steph!!! You are amazing!!!! You're food for the party looked amazing!!! I know the kids enjoyed it. The kids looked adorable in their sweet outfits!!! The girls hat's were beautiful!!! Sweet video!!! Take care and God bless 😊❤

[@lisawfriday]

Born and raised Southerner here. You have to have pimento cheese and crackers and it has to be homemade pimento cheese. Chocolate pecan pie and mint juleps, our version of mint julep is iced tea with mint springs and fresh lemon slices and don’t forget the cheese straws and baby pea pasta. Looks like you are doing a great job, Kentuckians would be proud 🫶🏻

[@agathabergen7374]

Love wreneki! I started serving it with sauteed onions, so good! 😋

[@Jane_575]

We put the sautéed onions inside

[@Sans_ohiomen]

I'm Ukranian and my grandmother made cottage cheese pierogies. oh my ! Delicious!

[@marylour253]

My husband has lived his whole life in Kentucky I married into Kentucky 41 years ago. We have never been to the Derby either. Your menu sounds perfect for a Derby party. I fix most every year for the Derby cucumber sandwiches, hot browns and Derby pie. We also drink ALE 8. It’s ginger ale. The ALE 8 is made in Kentucky. I am sure they probably don’t sell it in your area. The hats are awesome!

[@erikaklassen7415]

Hello😊 i‘m from germany . My Family spoke plaudietsch too. My mum often made wrenetje with cottage Cheese😋

[@Mabel461]

I like watching your channel and other homestead, home making and home cooking channels on KZbin. Being German, though, I am always surprised by how much meat people still seem to eat, especially overseas. Here in Germany especially younger people seem to refuse eating meat at all. Most of them seem to be vegetarians or even vegans for health and sustainability reasons. But also older people eat less meat. Even the Ministry of Health advises to not eat meat more than once or twice a week. And yes, pizza with salami counts as a meat dish.

[@bonniegarland4236]

You are amazing. Your table beautiful and the food so yummy. The kids looked fabulous too! What a fun time. Loved watching ❤

[@spencerkeaton8234]

Steph, your kids are so adorable! Your meals look amazing and the homeschool dinner looked so fun!

[@pampayne9033]

I loved this video so much. Steph thank you so much for sharing.

[@donnacampbell1641]

All your food looks so good and the decorations were so cute as well. Yes here in the south we love our pimento cheese. I think the key to good pimento cheese is don’t put too much mayonnaise, use sharp cheese if you can and put lots of black paper. I’m so amazed at what all you get done with your big family and a new baby. Love in Christ

[@neahughes1579]

So fun! Sometime you’ll have to make a Kentucky Butter Bundt cake. It’s unbelievably delicious! Cookies and Cups has a great recipe on their website.

[@whatislovej316]

We love vareniki! We make them much smaller and my husband likes dill with the farmers cheese filling♥️

[@Cassie16456]

My family’s pierogi recipe(over 170 years old) only uses farmers cheese as the filling, no potatoes. Sounds similar! Love these “what we eat” kinds of videos the most💕

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thank you, Cassie ❤

[@alingtham7998]

Really hope you can change your oil….Seeds oil e.g canola,avocado,sunflower ….Really bad as it caused Inflammation…..hope you can switch to using organic extra virgin olive oil….(i learned my lessons the hard way with seeds oil and now suffering with many health problems..am just sharing)…somehow i am fascinated with how you handle your house chores + kids and surely other responsibilities..all the best

[@lumngwa1922]

Seed oils are indeed not advised to use, but avocado oil is not considered a seed oil. Extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil are the better cooking oil options.

[@elizabethcabrera5718]

This is such a fun idea thank you for sharing 😊❤

[@tinaloewen9006]

We grew up mennonite so those are one of our family’s favorite to 😊 you should try adding some cream to your cottage cheese filling, we love it like that, you want to just do 1-2 eggs and about a quarter to half cup of cream😊❤

[@jeaniemarkel360]

You are an inspiration! I don't know how you cook such special meals while raising and homeschooling your children. I'm exhausted just thinking about it!!!

My Ukranian husband likes varaneki with blueberries, and also sweet cottage cheese. I dont make it often.

Hi there! I'm a Kentucky girl but live a little more South now. For the Derby, popular dishes would include the signature "Mint Julep" cocktail, the Hot Brown like you mentioned and pimento cheese as well. I would say totally have fun with it even if the classic dishes have your own spin to them. Maybe try making a Derby Pie using a sourdough pie crust? I truly love your content, it always brings me so much joy :)

Everything looks so delicious! I’m just wondering, I’m new to the whole marinade cooking and would like to know if you need avocado oil for your marinade or if you can use EVOO instead. Love your videos. They are always so peaceful!

[@emilygrace1409]

mostly they are interchangeable, but avocado oil has a higher smoke point. if you’re cooking with higher temps you should use high smoke point oils!

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thank you ❤ I haven’t tried EVOO, but yes, avocado oil does have a very high smoke point!

Hey, Steph, be careful using a lot of sea salt. It often contains heavy metals which are really bad for you, and especially for kids. I think the pink Himalayan salt is quite a bit healthier. My dad is from Canada and grew up on pierogies. They would put all kinds of things in them, including cottage cheese.😊
