It warms this grandma’s heart to see babies eat well. Great job mom.

[@kemilyyoder7107]

Your comment about cooking green beans to death 😅 that is totally truth!! My hubby says its the only way they're edible 😏

[@brittanyw4563]

Growing up, one of my grandmother grew up Russian Mennonite & her husband was German baptist. (Similar traditions). I also married into a family with Hutterite & German Mennonite traditions. It’s always interesting to see what other mennonites consider “Mennonite” food.

[@kelseyd4701]

I watch your videos over naptime while I fold laundry and I can never tell if the little voices I hear are my kiddos or yours 😊❤

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Yes, for the forseeable future little voices will always be in the background of my videos.

[@kelseyd4701]

@@MeganFoxUnlocked i love it!

[@Sarah-qi1se]

Same deal here!!

[@marthamartens4190]

I'm a mennonite as well and just made Easter dinner for my family. Ham with pineapple, sweet and sour meatballs, mashed potatoes, cream gravy, 3 layer jello, layered salad. Homemade Chocolate, cherry, blueberry and apple pies for dessert. For faspa I made homemade buns, paska, sweet braid and Easter sugar cookies all homemade. Jams/jelly and pickles made last summer. I was going to make deviled eggs but figured this would leave me with enough leftovers already 🤪 I love cooking for my family.

[@janetnorris9984]

Oh my sweetie, I think you did a great job. I just love your energy and your love for family and the Lord.

[@MyLogHomeLife]

My mother gives everyone in the family the same Mennonite cookbook whenever they get married. Of course, I have my favorite recipes, including the chocolate chip cookie recipe. I also love ham pot pie, which is actually in the cookbook using beef instead of ham. I love the back portion of the book with the cleaning supplies and the list of food for a barn raising!

[@AlysiasArtStudio]

Browned butter icing on banana bread 🤯 it’s glorious! Having a great time watching your video! I wasn’t raised Mennonite, however very similar with a very faithful family with so much great food and a farming history ❤️

[@asianangel5400]

I'm not Mennonite but my Grandmother was from PA and a lot of dishes were Amish and Mennonite based in their methods. Im actually adopted from Korea so that made my upbringing even more interesting. Now that I'm married I just combine what I liked as a kid with my own twist. My mother in law is also from PA so her dishes are definitely similar as well. I also enjoy making Mexican and Asian dishes. Love your videos and your cooking.

[@LifeWithMrsB]

Yes! Got to do what you like :) I love almost all styles of cooking!

[@IonIsFalling7217]

“It ain’t pretty but it tastes good” is one of my mom’s favorite phrases haha. Also I’m so glad my husband does most our cooking because I hate it. 😂 Also also YES drop that preserves recipe!

[@chrisfry436]

I heard "Come and eat, its hot and lots of it"....ha ha

[@katiematthews9851]

I am from Texas! I am a Christian, mostly German heritage and this perfectly describes our Sunday lunches after church. Well… with my mom and grandmother! I’m a crockpot kinda girl! 🤣 I knew nothing about the Mennonite culture, and still just learning as you share… but it’s appears to be incredibly similar to conservative Christian living down here in Texas. Or so it seems. Very very similar. Thank you for sharing your values!!! It is such an encouragement to keep the traditions going. ❤️

[@notyourmomma279]

Awee that's so sweet!! I love learning about cultures. That's why I'm here. Plus I love to learn how to cook different recipes.

[@davidanddawnw3589]

My husband’s grandmother was Mennonite and every grandchild received The Mennonite Cookbook for their wedding! It’s wonderful you are keeping the traditions alive. That cookbook is wonderful too!!

[@Sarah-qi1se]

For the deviled eggs...mash your egg yolks in a quart Ziplock (sturdy) bag and add and mix ingredients in the bag, cut the corner off to make it a piping bag when the filling is ready.

[@sandraskalnik2369]

Your table was set beautifully. You could tell that the meal was prepared with love just like your mom and your grandmother did. The kids were so cute eating, wish you had more footage of them, it is always great to watch them.

[@rubycase6829]

I am so glad you did this. It brought back memories when my family went to my uncles when we were young. I didn’t grow up Amish but I had an aunt and uncle who were.

[@local_treasures815]

I'm an old mid west lady and we cook our green beans with bacon to death too. I'm going to have to try your brown butter! Everything is better with butter!

[@ArkansasAmyQuilts]

My husband would be so happy if he came home to a meal like that! We used to live in an area with Mennonite and Amish families before we moved to Germany. I miss those sweet families- the wholesome living and lifestyle was so wonderful to be around. I'm hoping that we will move back to the US one day and be able to surround ourselves with Amish and Mennonite families again!

[@BettyHorn]

I'm not Mennonite, but my family traditions are very similar....probably due to my parents both being raised in the Pennsylvania/Ohio/New Jersey region. The bread, the gravy, even the brown butter and noodles! Thanks for the memories!

[@johnburkholder5936]

This video had me laughing! I could just feel the crazy chaos of having all burners filled n ham in the oven...and finally getting everything n everyONE to the table and moms hair is everywhere and cheeks flushed but OH the yummy meal. And yes...there is a certain pride in being able to tell your children that everything on the table comes from RIGHT here on our land! We raise our own beef, chicken, eggs, garden etc...lots of hard work but so worth it! GREAT video Megan!...Melinda...

[@marshabrubaker185]

My dad's father's family were Mennonites who emigrated from Switzerland to Lancaster County, PA. Being dairy farmers, meals were huge & hardy. Sundays, after church, were spent being together and eating for seemingly hours on end. Congrats on all your hard work getting this meal together for your family.

[@jaroffireflies]

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter! Thank you for sharing 💐

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Thank-you! And Passover for you!

[@jaroffireflies]

@@MeganFoxUnlocked thank you sweet friend 🌺💜

[@mattlockerman9741]

Thank you for sharing these recipes! I’m fairly certain that my grandmother must be a Mennonite at heart, lol! We are Baptists, but we eat meals like this almost every Sunday after church! Or it might just be that she has the Mennonite cookbooks from her monthly grocery trips to Lancaster. At my church, we were lucky enough to have the Stoltsfus family who organized and prepared the entrees for our monthly fellowship meals.

[@AlabasterClay]

Your little helpers are adorable. So good to have them involved.

[@henny1fan561]

Very interesting!! I grew up and currently live in PA and realized watching this, that we have the same traditions as the Mennonites....maybe I am a Mennonite at heart

[@AlysiasArtStudio]

I relate to this!!! 🤗

[@AllieBoBalliee]

Looks delicious! I'm not mennonite but I love to collect cookbooks that are filled with true and tested recipes. The ones that have survived several generations!

I used to go to a Mennonite farm for a week during a few summers when I was a teenager in Lancaster! The lady of the house always served bread, butter, and strawberry jelly before dinner and I loved it!

[@beckyray8746]

This may be my favorite video you’ve ever done! I LOVE your cooking videos. Please keep them coming! (Don’t wear yourself out with full meals....lol....that’s a lot of expense and time...not to mention the clean up and exhaustion....but I absolutely love the Mennonite/Amish recipes

[@nicoleanderson4061]

I love your style of cooking Ms.Megan!!❤ Fresh delicious food!! And ... BROWN BUTTER!!! YES! You rock, girl!!

[@kellybroady6378]

My dads religion is very similar to Mennonite, they have meetings in homes (church), workers (pastor) and the people in the religion are "friends". Each state has a head worker or "overseer" They call it "the truth"... but the way they serve food is this way. No seasoning, butter, starch, meat and overcooked veggies .. lol

[@gracewoodfarms7552]

Enjoyed this so much! Girl, get yourself a pastry blender- it’s more efficient than a fork. They’re like $8 from Walmart. Happy Easter to you all ❤️He is risen!

Better yet mix in ziplock bag like I described in my comment.

[@vanillamint7854]

delicious! 🙂

[@sallyblatchford1585]

I grew up in Ohio very close to Holmes Co so I’m familiar with Mennonite cooking (as well as Amish) and learned to cook using so many of the traditional dishes and have learned much from a couple of Amish & Mennonite friends. However, I’m buying that cookbook 😁. I’m actually surprised I don’t already have it but at 62 yrs old and now living in FL I suppose it could have been misplaced at some point. Everything looked wonderful and I’m sure it tasted great. Btw, you boil your eggs the exact same way I do and I’ve never had a fail, AND we make our deviled eggs the exact same way. The green olives with the deviled eggs made me wonder whether or not you make egg salad with chopped green olives in it; it VERY tasty! I hope you and your had a lovely Easter 💜

[@tonyak8848]

Ahhh! If i tried to peel the skin off the men in the fam would flip! I love to make big fancy meals. Always stressed out but so worth it.

[@katherinekinnaird4408]

My father was born and raised in Pennsylvania and we enjoyed bread butter and jelly. Brings back memories. Thank you.

[@janh519]

My family isn’t Mennonite, although very religious. We also had a big garden, had our own meat (usually pork and chicken) on the farm,. My mother canned a “basement full” of veggies, pickles and fruits...all kinds of good jellies. We had turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas...ham for Easter. You are a fabulous cook at a very young age!

[@elizabethbednarcik3311]

I was waiting for you to say Shoo-Fly Pie! We always about these in Lancaster when I was growing up. When I moved to Tennessee I started making them and it was my father in law’s favorite. ❤️

[@danielahermes6493]

Hey, I'm a non Mennonite from Germany and I really enjoy watching your Videos. For me it's very interesting to see that pretty much of your cooking style is very close to how I grew up and still cook for my family. In fact I sometimes use brown butter for mashed potatoes and noodles. For noodles I add a clove of garlic, some cherry tomatoes and parmesan cheese. And I also knew a very similar recipy for the eggs. I add eggyolgs, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper and fine chopped gherkies instand of vinegar. And I am used to cook every day fresh meals which are pretty healthy with fresh seasonal vegetables or salads. I think it is pretty much interesting to investigate those parallels. Greetings from southern Germany!

[@wurmmithut]

I’m German (not mennonite) and here we put brown butter on everything! I loove it! Amazing video 😊

[@carolwagner4592]

Everything's better with brown butter on it! Loved this video.

[@foreversunshine87]

I inherited my grandma's mennonite community cookbook and she made notes on nearly every pie recipe in there. I don't think I can ever get rid of the cookbook because I only trust her versions :)

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Wow! And there are some crazy pie recipes in there too!

[@foreversunshine87]

[@juansierra5704]

You’ve inspired me to go buy some egg noodles. We had them all the time as kids, especially with stew or pot roast, but I bet it’s been 25 years since I had some egg noodles. With brown butter tonight.

[@kayliebentien1659]

I did not grow up Mennonite but my mother’s family was close to the Pennsylvania Mennonite community when she was growing up, and this is the cookbook she used in the kitchen as a kid and taught me to cook from! She gifted me my own copy when I got married and it’s one of my greatest treasures! ❤️

[@kenzieglaspell7164]

Thank you for showing me how to properly roll and insert my pie. I would get so frustrated using so much flour on my countertops and then flipping it into the dish has driven me up the wall in the passed, but not anymore thanks to you!!!! 💕💕💕

I’m in southwest Ohio with roots in southern Illinois and we also cook veggies “to death!” The one and only time I’ve ever had shoofly pie was in Lancaster, PA! Loved it!!! And the only time I’ve used browned butter was with a cookie recipe. They turned out delicious. It’s definitely worth the extra step. Thank you for all the tips. We are not Mennonite, but our beliefs are pretty much the same. Love watching your channel!

[@eldaremington341]

I have the cookbook you are using. It was given to me by my next door neighbor who is mennonite. Two generations back my family was Amish and lived in Garden City Missouri.

I made beet eggs and deviled eggs for Easter! Mom used to make 7 day pickles when I was growing up in Ohio. We had fruit trees and always had pies in the freezer. Mom made her own egg noodles, too! When I go back to visit family in Northern Indiana I love rhubarb pie. Mom cooked like Mennonites and Grandmother did , too. Your video brings back good memories!

[@janicebone6191]

You should be so proud.. you did an awesome job...cooking on that scale is always hard work. It looked so tasty... I often cook ham the same way , we are having a special meal for Easter Sunday, just the 2 of us, but its fun to do. No church for me as I'm isolating still, but I shall go to the service on line that our church does. Enjoy the special time that is Easter xx

You remind me of someone I know but I can’t figure out who but it makes me feel safe every time I watch you lol

[@sophiemorrison9820]

I would bring the eggs to a boil, remove from the heat, then cover them for twelve minutes. This prevents the dark sulfur ring from forming where the yolk meets the white. Fun video.

[@laurievera5137]

I boil for 8 minutes 😂 never have a ring

[@sandrakayhayes5776]

This is also how we ate with family in the South, and I took cook my veggies and meat till they are truly dead, haha!!! I could taste the food as if I was there. Great job and yes cooking with love takes lots of time. I'm a mom, grandma/great grandma and it's all too tiring for me now, but I still do the holiday meals!!! It was fun seeing your gorgeous kiddos enjoying "real" food!!! We now have half meat eater, half vegetarians, and one vegan family, so it's a lot of different things to please everyone, but, that is what love looks like!!! I'm in Mi. but lived in an area that has many Amish, and when I first moved there, I would get all excited seeing the people in their buggies. I still love it!!! Have a very Blessed Easter!!!

Hi Megan! What works for me every time when I boil eggs: get the eggs in cold water, once the water boils: set a time for 12 minutes for hard boiled eggs, 9 minutes for medium hard boiled eggs and the big trick is that once the time is up put the eggs under cold running water for an extra 3 minutes: they come out perfect and peels Like a dream! Hope it helps Megan! Stay safe and blessed!

[@thirzapeevey2395]

I was going to chime in and say that PA Dutch cooking uses a lot of celery and parsley for spice, but you beat me to it when you started the eggs, a fair bit of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger too. My grandfather never liked onions, so grandma never used them, but her potato filling with tons of parsley was fantastic. You have to have your seven sweets and sours too. :) Lots of pickles and jams, especially chow-chow. Being from Lehigh County, Grandma always baked a dry bottom shoo-fly pie, but growing up in Lancaster, I learned to love the wet bottom too. That's a lovely shoo-fly pie. Lovely meal. You did good!

[@vickiebelk635]

I get you with the green beans. Down south we cook ours until they're mush and we put the red potatoes in with them. I can't wait to try the brown butter!!

[@LoisMary1]

I loved this video! I cook my hard boiled eggs the same way, except I only leave them in the hot water for 13 minutes so I never get a green mark. Adding a tsp of baking soda to the boiling water helps the shells come off easily.

Mmmmm.... when can I expect my invitation, Mrs. Fox? LOL That looked SO good! Nice job, and happy well fed family. Props! Now, take the ham bone, some of the little leftover pieces, some carrots, onions & celery, cover with water in a large slow cooker, set on high for 6-8 hrs. Strain. Let cool so the fat congeals on top, then skim off. Divide into smaller containers for freezing, and you have the best base for a split pea or lentil soup EVAH! & you'll have enough "ham bone broth", which is worth it's weight in gold, IMHO, for a few meals of this. You can save/freeze some of the leftover ham meat to put into your soup or lentils, and with just a bit o' onion, carrot and celery chopped fine, it's an entirely new lunch or dinner. Add some rolls or bisquits and it's a feast on a cold evening! You've made me SO darn hungry! LOL Don't know whether to TY for this awesome cooking binge or curse ya out due to a grumbling tummy! ;);) TY&TC. Best wishes to all!
