May your daughter have a wonderful life with her soon to be husband. May they have many happy years ahead. Many Blessings

[@michelesalazar2045]

Have a wonderful wedding. Never mind a video you need to step back and enjoy the wedding. Blessing on the new bride and groom.

[@takingcareofmine]

I always considered my time in the kitchen as saving money, better quality and showing of the love I have for my family

[@sherrydbrice597]

Maxwell looks so proud. Great job Maxwell.

[@denisedean8749]

In someways you remind me so much of my mom. Of course you are way younger but she passed away 30 years ago. She did a lot of the things that you do but on a very small scale. I love how you take care of your family and work so hard to give them treats, that are good and good for them. Thank you so much for taking great care of your family! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@mccallumjc1]

Thanks for showing some of your farm animals between recipes! It’s nice to see that your recipe videos are not just you in the kitchen but everyone is included!

[@Ruthannzimm]

🥰🥰. You’re welcome!!!

[@kathylane5934]

I am 70 ,have never made cereal but I like the idea to make for great grand children,Thank you the way you explain everything.Do not want all those dyes and chemicals

[@jeanhecker4533]

Thanks for these recipes. Love watching your little boys becoming men. Asking blessings for your family as you add a son-in-law. 🙏🏻 God is Good. 🤗

[@kathryncurry8728]

Awe, have a blast at the wedding & don’t worry about us, we’ll still be here when you return. Enjoy the moment ❤

[@Youngmom68]

Wonderful recipes! With your sourdough cracker recipe, try an offset spatula to spread. It would really help you. God bless you!

[@lorenstribling6096]

Your kids are wonderful! You are teaching them life skills and independence. I wish more parents were like you. I tried to teach my kids how to take care of themselves. My younger son is autistic, but he can do his own laundry, clean the house, and cook a meal with little fanfare. This kind of self-confidence is important for them. Maxwell is turning out to be a great cook.

[@NickeyVamp]

That is amazing I have two autistic children both girlies.Teaching them life skills is important. If no one has told you that you are doing a great job Mamma you are.. much ❤️

[@anounimouse]

RuthAnn, I LV your curly hair - so jealous! I've been a Cosmetologist since 1961 and would love to cut a head of hair like yours....

[@Ruthannzimm]

Awe. Thanks!!!!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Isn’t it beautiful? I’ve always loved it as well.

[@barbaraweber3084]

Ahhhh, the simple things, I just love that milk soaked kitty just waiting by the cow....

[@R.C.R.]

Congratulations to you all on the Wedding 💒

[@pilgrimpeace7763]

Watching from Australia. I love your videos.

[@Ruthannzimm]

Welcome!!!

[@sherrylee1072]

God’s blessing on the newlyweds and all of you amen

[@lindah629]

I don’t think I’ve bought cereal in 15 years!! Same I try to make it myself 😊 Love your videos!!❤

[@andrewplacke7100]

Ruth Ann, I’ve just watched your Homemade Cereal Alternatives! AND watching you spread your sourdough on the parchment paper, made me think….. I have switched to an offset spatula to spread it. I originally bought it for doing cake decorating. It has helped soo much with keeping the parchment paper from lifting up while you’re spreading😊🎉 Kerrie (Ohio)

[@GeminiPeg]

I have cooked from scratch most of my life. Our son learned this also. I make granola also. Thank you for the videos, enjoy the wedding !

[@kyliemunday]

All the very best for your daughter’s wedding. Thank you for the great breakfast ideas.

[@WillowsGarden]

Hello RuthAnn and sweet family! I never hardly ever bought store bought cereals when my kids were younger. Your breakfast recipes looked delicious and healthy. It’s always great to see the children helping in the kitchen. I hope the wedding goes smoothly and congratulations to the families. Have a blessed weekend!

[@ldg2655]

I am the same about breakfast. A couple cups of coffee is a must, but I could do without eating until @ 11:00, lunch would then be @ 3:00, and supper at 8:00 or 9:00. Especially during the summer when we are outside until dark-thirty, which is 9:30-10:00PM here. I enjoy breakfasts foods, and don’t mind cooking them, I’m just not hungry in the morning.

[@lesleymansfield57]

Watching from the UK, You’ve inspired me greatly to do my own food, so far butter, cheese, crackers, bread and now I’ll try cereal .. I also do some of your meal recipes too, thank you so much Ruth-Ann .. Enjoy your beautiful daughters wedding 🎉

[@barbarapahl3245]

Thank you for the wonderful video! I'm going to make the baked oatmeal! Yummy! I loved watching Maxwell! It made me smile watching him pour the cinnamon instead of putting the spoon in to measure. He did a great job! ❤

[@barnrazedbyjesse6893]

Amish Baked Oatmeal is my absolute favorite! My mother received the recipe from a friend who married a former Mennonite. It takes me back to my childhood. I remember my first time tasting a commercial cereal on a trip to visit cousins in Georgia. It was fruity pebbles and I thought we were having dessert for breakfast. My little eight year old mind was blown away with sugar, artificial flavors and coloring😅

[@rosiekerr8268]

Those baked oats look amazing! Yummy yum yum! Great job Maxwell making the granola!!! Looks delicious! X

[@sandyfox1632]

Ruth Ann, love your encouragement to cook from scratch and include the kids.😊

[@elleforest7896]

I make my kid’s granola as well. I stir protein powder into it as I make it to add some much needed protein for all my guys. We don’t eat it as cereal though. We use it with yogurt, with apple sauce, cottage cheese, fruit or just as a snack.

[@leahrowe847]

Well she's got tons of milk... LOL

[@NickeyVamp]

Great idea it is also good for immunity boosting. Thanks for your suggestion. Much ❤

[@sccg2424]

Another great simple recipe is for Irish sweet soda bread, Irish fruit soda bread 400 Grams bread flour 15 grams bicarbonate of soda Pinch of salt Put all dry ingredients through a sieve into a bowl. 100 Grams raisins or Sultanas (other dried fruits would work well) 60 Grams caster sugar 330 millilitres buttermilk (plain kefir is fantastic substitute if you cannot get buttermilk) Method: Preheat oven to 180. Sieved dry ingredients into large bowl Add sugar & fruit Mix together all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredient: Using your hands add the buttermilk (Kefir) slowly mixing as you pour Do it slowly & Don’t over mix, it should be sticky but not wet. Tip onto a surface and bring it together in to a round shape ( add a little flour if needed but not much) Top tip = you can do all of this in one bowl. Cooking: Get a metal baking tray / sheet & place some baking paper on. Place your bread round on the tray pat gently with flat of your hand so it’s about 3 inches thick. Using a sharp knife cut a cross on the top about half way through (traditionally it’s called letting the fairies out / free) Bake at 180 for 25 minutes Take out & flip over & bake for further 10 minutes. Bread is cooked through when you tap the bottom & it sounds hollow.

[@kpcountyline277]

You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you so much for sacrificing your time to help me.

[@peggythomas2103]

I wash my dishes as I go. So by the time we sit down and eat dinner there are only dinner dishes to go into the dishwasher. Plus it keeps your counter clean to continue prepping. Now if I can only get my adult girls to clean as they go lol. Love your videos. I recently retired and find scratch cooking actually exciting. I’m a custom cake decorator so I was always more into baking than cooking. But I’ve learned so much from everyone and you’re using ingredients you already have bought and paid for. Example homemade sour cream, I was skeptical but omg it’s delicious and so much fresher tasting! I started a cookbook for my kids so they have old and new recipes etc. but I never thought about doing this when my mom and grandma were around now all those recipes not many have. So I’m asking my oldest brother who loves to cook if he remembers the recipes etc. So each time I find or create a recipe I immediately put it into my cookbook. This is an online cookbook that emails my kids and siblings those recipes I did. Plus they can insert their recipes too. It can be printed out professionally or with a home printer.

[@leahrowe847]

My kids won't clean as they go either... so frustrating!

[@Karenh8785]

Good job Maxwell!!!

[@reginaashley1582]

Enjoy the wedding. We will miss you if you can’t get your video out but understand that some things have to come first!!

[@diannemiller4754]

A glass of milk is a great choice. My doctor told me many years ago that it is the best and quickest way to raise your blood sugar. As you said the protein keeps your blood sugar up until you are able to eat.

[@janicew6222]

What is the difference between sour dough discard and just regular sour dough? I've never worked with it at all but here this often. Always enjoy your videos, Enjoy your family and this happy time.

[@mskippi]

I am astounded at the clever ideas. I will definitely be making the cereal and the baked oatmeal

[@farahreid4920]

Blessings, nice to see everyone is well.

[@missykuss9975]

Thank you for these recipes. Enjoy this special time with your daughter!

[@Paula-po9kx]

Thank you Ruth Ann.

[@kathygeisler6324]

I am so glad I found your channel! I'm going to be trying the baked oats and granola recipes and I made your Mennonite White Bread 2 loaf recipe. The loaves were beautiful! Thank you for your fine videos. It's a pleasure to see the kids actively participating in the chores and cooking. ❤

[@natalia199301]

Thank You your information is so appreciated and I love the family involvement. Thank You

[@donnarichey144]

Thank you so much. I love how well your kids all work together and they do chores. No fighting.

[@mairzydotes3548]

Maxwell did a great job! I think I will have the grans do the same next visit. Baked oats is such an open canvas. I add jams I want to use up. I also canned a bunch of cranberry apple orange relish that is great in it. Also pineapple zucchini or frozen shredded zucchini is a great addition to get a little green in breakfast.

[@windingtrailsfarm6918]

I am so happy you discussed the requirements nutritionally for children. So many parents complain about the morning and children’s temperament and how difficult they are. When I ask about what they are feeding in the morning they usually look at me sideways😊

[@amymorris5832]

Thank you for another video sharing your knowledge! Very much appreciated ❤

[@ruby71975]

Congratulations to your daughter and new son in law!

[@renestewart604]

Best of luck for the wedding to run smoothly.

[@BinfordMJ]

I have been making homemade meals since I started watching you last month and started canning. And I am constantly looking for things to can. I have found I am able to make actual good food for dinner using jars I have canned in about a half an hour after work. That never would have happened without the canning. I actually cannot wait to get back into the kitchen to see what else I can put up. You really have made a huge impact on my life and the health of my family. So thank you for every video you put out. And I always have a jar of your crackers in the pantry now too! Best wishes to the bride and groom! Please don't worry about us, we will be here when your world gets a little back to normal.

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Thank you for all your warm homey healthy cooking videos! God bless you and your family!

[@NancyMatlock-jn7vf]

Me and my granddaughter love watching you and you sweet family! Thank you for sharing!! ❤️

[@okiejammer2736]

BEST WISHES and 🎉 CONGRATULATIONS to the Happy Couple! May the wedding prep and Wedding Day go smoothly with lots of fun and memories.

[@stevemcmillin2737]

I was dying watching Maxwell pour the cinnamon from that great big container into the tiny measuring spoon instead of putting the spoon in the container! I've never been an oatmeal fan, unless it was cookies or cake...But your baked oatmeal actually looked pretty good.

[@Ruthannzimm]

lol. Yes. Experience will teach him!! Lol

[@TRuru.]

Off topic a bit, but speaking of money saving recipes, do you make your own laundry soap/detergent? I’m sure your daughter’s wedding will be beautiful. 🙏 for many blessings.

[@bethford2334]

I am so glad to get these recipe to help make some tasty, healthy breakfasts. My husband loves granola so I am sure it will become a favorite. Good luck with the wedding and enjoy each and every part of it, making memories!

[@carrief7342]

Ruth Ann, I love your videos but I sure hope you take next week off and enjoy your family! 🥰❤️🙏🏻

[@monicaschafer1075]

I absolutely love your channel. Your recipes are amazing and I can’t thank you enough on the $ I’ve saved. Thank you kindly and blessings to y’all.

[@marcialittle7893]

I only wish my mother had been like you. She was a very strict person, so glad I never had to work for her at her job. She is gone now, but I was not a fan of her teaching me things, so I did not learn to cook from her. However, I had the homesteader heart, she did not, and so as I grew up I learned from as man others as possible how to cook for myself and my family. So, even though I worked a full time job, my kids grew up on homemade food, as much as possible from scratch and organic. My oldest is 26, and I was seeing all the dyes and crap that were being put into foods then and avoided them every chance I got. Love your channel. Keep up the great parenting, and blessings to the bride and groom with the wedding festivities. P.S. My mother said about five years ago that I was the best cook in the family! Shocked the heck outta me, and she said it in front of her sister, who is a great cook and my sister, who learned from my mom, but is not a very good cook, lol. Blessings to your entire family. But mostly to you Ruth Ann, your patience is amazing!

[@trishthehomesteader9873]

Thank you Ruthann and family!🙂 I'm so with you about breakfast! My dad was the same way. The best I can do first thing in the morning is a piece of toast and, maybe, a bit of fruit. The granola looks especially yummy! Squirting milk to the cats always brings a smile to my face.☺️ I understand about those starting off with cooking at home. Sometimes it seems like there's more prep. than there's hours in the day. For me at 70, it takes a little longer. 😉 Blessings! 💜

[@catherinebrame3145]

Praying that the wedding goes beautiful, and that the marriage glorifies God. Praising Him for the fruit you are giving all of us through your testimony and teachings.

[@LindaScales-hr5br]

I know you will be busy next week end, but step back, breathe a little, and enjoy making lifetime memories with your daughters. Hadassah will be watching, it may not be too long, before its her wedding, iam not rushing, iam just saying. Shes not ready yet, but i dont have to tell you, children are always thinking and watching.🙏❤️🙂

[@sherihicks1427]

Another wonderful video!! I've been mulling over homemade cereal for YEARS!! I have a little booklet from the German Baptist bulk food store that's just full of cereal recipes. I have made baked oatmeal, and we love that! I've also made lots of granola, which also makes a great snack. I've made a savory granola that has a little pinch of cayenne in it that we like, too. But your cinnamon toast crunch cereal is definitely on my bucket list. I'm praying for you and your daughter, and all the families involved in the wedding. I hope it's a beautiful family time for everyone!

[@robingirven4570]

I’ve so been wanting to try baked oatmeal. There are only 2 of us though. I’ll try a super small batch. Thank you RuthAnn!

[@tabbbb15]

God is good! Thank you for this video!! Enjoy this wedding week!! I loved all the time I got to spend with my mom prior to my wedding. She did so much work for me! I’ll forever be thankful! God bless you and your family!

[@kaylenerinehart2455]

Enjoy the wedding! May the couple be blessed!

[@GraceMarie-cs2kk]

I don’t keep ANY packaged food or snacks in my home. When I want a sweet, I eat a double serving of organic oatmeal with a tsp of coconut oil, a Tbsp of cocoa powder and a Tbsp of organic sugar. It is SOOOoooo good that a single serving is not enough! 😁

[@narrowpathfarm]

It’s crazy how it took only one generation to loose all these skills. Here’s to bringing them back!

[@pamelajones4412]

Great video enjoy your daughter’s wedding 💒 🎉😊❤

[@marthasundquist5761]

This is why i would prefer to sleep until 9 or 10. Never been much of a breakfast person, but love having pancakes for supper....dad used to do that for us a few times a month. I bet if i could have milk ( need to get a goat or jersey cow...lol) when i wake up...I'd be ready for breakfast. Hubby makes scrambled eggs, hash browns, and bacon every Sunday for breakfast. I have choked down the eggs so as not to discourage his helpfulness. But if breakfast happened at 11AM, I'd have no problem. I thought i was the only one with that issue...but i am relieved to hear i am not! Thanks for the ideas. I do have a dairy goat farm in my community...gonna hop on that idea. Thanks!

[@diannegriffith5444]

God Bless your Daughter's new life, and blessings to you and rest of family.

[@dianejohanson98]

Love how you get the younger children involved in the process.

[@AussieAngeS]

I love your family and how you have taught your children great family values. Thank you for the breakfast recipes.

Thank you Ruthanne! I pray you have a blessed family wedding. ❤

[@lindsynelson589]

Thank you for giving me the courage. I'm working towards this life for my 3 boys and I. Since I've come across your videos, you've helped my confidence in knowing that this is the right direction!

[@lorilusk5811]

Good job Maxwell

[@peggymcguire6042]

Love your videos! You are so right: those store-bought cereals are LOADED with additives, that turn you into an addict for those cereals! I’m looking for a much healthier version of granola cereals. Those are my favorite. Maxwell did an AWESOME job prepping & baking the cereal! ❤️

[@dianneludwig338]

Good luck with your daughter’s wedding. Many blessings!

[@rir78]

I'm so glad to hear you're not afraid of good healthy fats...it's the bodies preferred fuel. Contrary to popular beliefs, it doesn't make you fat.There is so many healthy fats. Should be primary in the diet. Haven't tried the coconut sugar, but the xylotol seems to be very good alternative.

[@kentuckygirl8282]

I learned something new, besides the recipes. My youngest wakes up and it is a struggle to get her to eat anything in the morning. I usually give her milk with whatever she is eating but she doesn't drink it, and doesn't usually eat her food. Maybe just sticking with a glass of milk until she's ready to eat would be more doable for her (and me, if she's wasting less lol). So thank you for sharing that about the glass of milk! And always, thank you for sharing your recipes! 🥰 God bless and stay safe!

[@karensamford7789]

I love to listen to you talk! You always seem to have given deep thought to what you say! Your voice is pleasant to for listening. God bless you. I live in south central Texas

[@nelliep1530]

I use a tablecloth with every meal. That's how it was when I was growing up and that's what I taught my children. Just makes a table look classy 🙂

[@Ruthannzimm]

Yes an extra layer of formality

[@michelesoto5919]

Prayers for a glorious & beautiful wedding! Enjoy time and family and don't worry about us!! 🎉⛪️

[@karenkirk3185]

Good afternoon 👋 I’ve started following from just hearing how you pay attention to your children’s needs ❤

[@Ruthannzimm]

Thank you!!!!!

[@debbiewood7718]

Great video. I was just thinking about homemade cereal. What I appreciated the most though was the parenting tip with morning bloodsugar and grumpy kids. A less experienced mom would probably not consider that and end up having unnecessarily grumpy kids all the time.

[@sharonp6762]

Thank you SO much. I will try the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Unsure how to communicate my gratitude as I am now ready to try one more new recipe. Sourdough sandwich bread is an absolute hit at my home!!

[@Ruthannzimm]

You are so welcome!

[@maureenbrophy7852]

Ruth A wishing the Young couple happiness❤️❤️ Always wait for u r wonderful videos 💕💐

[@beadwright]

Prayers for a wonderful family wedding. Best wishes to the newleyweds.

[@ChristinaOurWoodHome]

cinnamon toast crunch was my favourite cereal but I'm not allergic to the ingredients, so I can't eat it. I love how simple your recipe is! For sure trying this🤗

[@dit1092]

What a wonderful gift you are giving by allowing us to see you make food and or projects with your family. I like that they are all involved in some way to get the job done. More families should follow this type of lifestyle to prep their children to become very productive adults. Thanks and blessings

[@patz2917]

Please take the time to give all of your attention to your daughter’s wedding this week. This is such an important time for your family. We will be here after the wedding, happy to hear about the happy memories you create.

[@mamabearmcderment245]

OMG I just made your cereal recipe it is way better than store bought..my kids are going to be so happy ..we stopped buying cereal about a year ago they didn't like that idea but now once they taste this 😍thank you so much for the recipe

[@NOVAFrugalFamily]

I made your recipe for granola but made it chocolate coconut almond which makes a great afternoon treat. I love the added texture of the Rice Krispie cereal. We do not buy cereal anymore either because we are not breakfast eaters either. The dishes are for sure the hardest part of cooking all the time. We love all the homemade food though!

[@dolly6782]

This is a great replacement, I use to eat cereal a lot before I had Cancer, it was easy, no mess ect.. lol .. I can't wait to try this thank you for sharing..

[@user-jb6jn2ut9x]

I really like the recipes below the video. I hate having to get an app to obtain the recipes. I don't have a computer so it all goes on my phone. Very helpful video.

[@momof3boys47]

Thanks! I'm going to try the granola.

[@karilynn3535]

Great video. As you mentioned we, too, don't eat until 10am when we have brunch...not typical 'breakfast' food at all but real food that keeps us content all day. Then, at 3ish, we have a small snack...and that's it. I think we are all programed to eat 3 meal/day which I don't think is good for us as adults...children, yes...they need to eat more often. Thank you again.

[@izettal6108]

Thank you for helping us eat healthier. God Bless you and yours.

[@rosannetaylor1532]
