[@AdalineZook]

Thanks for collaborating girl!! Also, growing up chicken noodles were one of my favorites 😍 I grew up eating so many of the recipes you’ve shared! One thing I’m thankful for with a Mennonite background is GOOD food! 😉 love ya lady!!!

[@gimmelmom]

You're one of my faves, too!!!

[@LynetteYoder]

❤️❤️❤️ you’re welcome!

How have I never thought to cut bacon with scissors?! SUCH a good idea!!!!!

[@dawnsostrong9653]

Its very Asian...

[@anniep1511]

I always use scisdors to cut bacon and other meats. I wear disposable gloves. Maybe weird but keeps your hands clean

[@genem6380]

It’s a really convenient kitchen hack...I as well use scissors to cut bacon and etc, always!

[@Susan_1]

Thats how I do it too. And I use scissors to cut a pizza pie😇

[@martykropf421]

I have always use a scissors to cut bacon. I just wash my hands before and after.

[@karendavenport6824]

I make that salad. I add sunflower seeds and sometimes raisins. So good. Yes, you can definitely make it ahead of time. I think it tastes better the next day because the flavors have combined. It's also interesting to me that many Mennonite meals are similar to Southern Baptist potluck dishes I make and grew up eating. I guess it is because we are both descendants of the Anabaptists.

[@bryanjason1980]

How are you doing 😊😊😊👋😊

[@kalicokathy1944]

Making broccoli cauliflower salad ahead is great it tastes better when flavor has time to sit

[@bryanjason1980]

How are you doing 😊😊👋👋😊

[@sandrafulton4351]

When you make the pie crust - roll out a second and cut into strips - lay strips on baking sheet and dust with sugar and cinnamon. I promise you that your kiddos will LOVE the dough strips! I'm 70 now and have been eating the 'left over pie crust strips' for at least 65 years :) This is a perfect way to make your children pie-loving kids! Bless you and your family.

[@jlp2061]

Mom used to do this with the extra crust she had after rolled out crust and cut off extra.

[@lovemyshipoo]

I'm 70 also....my kids called those flatties🙂

[@nvc9060]

We used to do that when I was a kid but spread jam on them 😋

[@sherrylinzer8649]

You are so sweet and interesting to watch. Even though we come from very different back rounds i find your content is so interesting and you are a wonderful decorater. Keep on producing these great videos. Your Jewish grandma in NYC.

How are you doing 😊😊👋👋😊

[@kandisue1753]

YUM!!! All delish!! Thanks for sharing! Just a kind tip (from a Mom of 2 boys & now grandchildren): Please turn your pot handles to the back of the stove burner, this way you won't bump it and cause the pot to spill or one of the children accidentally reaches for it. Can't wait for the next video you share.

[@marielapp1786]

Funny, I saw that too. My mom taught me to always turn pot handles away from the front. I'm the oldest daughter in a family of 9 children so there was plenty of chance for accidents!

[@marialahr4358]

Love your channel! TIP: for broccoli cauliflower salad, try 3 tablespoon vinegar 3 tablespoon sugar in your dressing its AWESOME!!!!!! Try it please!!!!

[@sharonmccallister7957]

The peanut butter pie looked delicious. Crust looked very professional. My four year old daughter told me she liked all pies as long as they had apples in them. She likes all pies now whether or not they have apples! She is now 65.

[@wendoxia]

Turn your handles in from the stove!! I learned that in Girl Scouts... much safer with small kids who can hit the handles running by! This comfort food looks so good!

[@cindyravine8261]

My husband 's family live near Holmes county , so we always shop at Walnut Creek when we visit . I didn't know they sold to other retailers, I'll have to check my area .

[@peachmelba9333]

Hiya from. Another Buckeye- I live one county to the west in Knox County- one of mine's claim is to be largest sheep- producing County East of the Mississippi and a fair amount of Amish and Mennonite are my neighbors.

[@pattylenon1317]

Loved this video. Made a variation of the salad, adapting my renal diet restrictions. Thanks!!

[@TrueBrytt]

I've been to Walnut Creek. I used to live in Tuscarawas county and would go there quite often. I haven't been in years. I would go to the apple orchard for fresh cider down the road every year. I'm a couple hours away now though.

[@judyblaise1639]

I like adding the dressing to the salad and letting it meld flavors. I don’t add bacon until I serve.

[@maxanderson9919]

Wait on cheese the cheese too, it gets sticky.

[@catmars6413]

Instead of corn flakes, ritz crackers for topping? Maybe add some cheddar and mix with ritz? Your thoughts..and that broccoli/cauli salad looked great!

[@4evermydoodles]

On your jello salad. I work in dietary at our local hospital. And I make something like that. We call it frog salad. I make the jello and let it set up in a 9x13 pan. After the jello sets up I put everything in the stand mixer. Softened cream cheese and the jello and mix it starting out slow then switch it to med high then high. Blend well then add the cool whip and you can add crushed pineapple or mandarin oranges. Blend well! Then put it in a 9x 13 and put in the freg. Until it sets up then slice like you do a cake. Looks a lot like what you made! I enjoyed your video 🙂

[@delanamason715]

I worked in dietary at a hospital years ago and we made different things with Jell-O. One super simple thing we did was mix canned pears with whatever flavor of Jell-O we had. Sometimes lime and sometimes cherry or strawberry. I loved them. I like tart things so I would make them at home and drain and rinse the pears and mix a packet of unsweetened Kool-Aid mix with it. I added a little salt for an extra zing. Weird but was tasty and helped if I craved sour candy. Thanks for your videos. I love that you have several different recipes that don't necessarily go together to make one meal. The chicken noodles look divine!! Definitely going to have to try them.

[@elisebarthalow6075]

Yes!! I do mine like that too, right in the mixing bowl. Lime is my favorite!!

[@RaeC]

Just a helpful tip. When making a pie crust you can roll the crust over the rolling pin and then unroll in right into the pan. Makes it easy to transfer. These look like great recipes to try. Thanks. Enjoy the day.

[@cheryljackson4213]

I so appreciate your channel. I am reviewing all of your videos while I am quarantined with covid-19. I have tried the Amish noodles and jello salad and they were so good. Keep the videos coming. God bless.

[@taritataylor8404]

I saw you make these noodles and thought to myself, the first cold day we have (we are in Northern Wisconsin) I'm making those. Made them last night and they were a big hit!!! I used the Walnut Creek noodles too, I picked them up at a Mennonite store that's near me. thank you so much

[@bryanjason1980]

How are you doing 😊👋👋😊👋

I couldn’t imagine being lactose intolerant in the Amish/Mennonite community 😳 I need me some of everything in this video!! 🤤 😋

[@Delaney2024]

Peanut butter mixed w powder sugar is the basics for Buckeyes. YUMMMMM!

[@pumkinseedpatch]

I just love that you are doing things that take you out of your comfort zone

[@SusanH578]

My best friends mom always made peanut butter pie when we were growing up! The years since she’s passed on, nobody can make her peanut butter pie like she did...I know they aren’t hard to make, but they just never taste the same as hers! I have a pudding recipe from my Grandma that always made pies & her specialty & my favorite was Banana Cream pie! The pudding was always so rich! Now I need to dig out my recipe book with her recipes & make a pie!! On the broccoli/cauliflower salad, I always mix in the dressing to let the flavors merry together & just before serving, we add sunflower seeds! That’s my favorite summer salad!! I like your variety of foods you make in your videos!! Yum!!

[@lorainedeyoe6104]

Thank you Lynette, enjoyed watching you make your video’s. I live in Jamesport,Missouri and l love what l call Amish noodles. I have been canning up a storm here since my Amish neighbors have shared their over abundance of garden goodies. Your pie ( boy) looks yummy.

[@jemnhershberger84]

I love the Amish cooking you are sharing. I miss home so much and this makes me want to cook it here.

[@jonirnmomba4130]

We do a similar salad side dish but only have it on Turkey Day and Christmas. We call it “Trees and Brains”. Super yum!

[@susankingcs]

love peanut butter pie I put PB2 which is dehydrated peanut butter and it makes the pie really full of peanut flavor!

[@bryanjason1980]

How are you doing 😊👋👋😊👋👋

[@daviddupre2420]

Lynette, We loved your Amish Noodles, WOW ! So good and what a base for great chicken /turkey noodle soup also. The best meal we've had in a long time. I put mashed potatoes in a soup cup then added turkey chopped and noodles with the gravy on top , with broccoli a separate dish. So good, Lord bless you and your family.

[@christenascott9100]

You crimp your pie crust like my mother taught me! I think it’s the easiest and looks nice.

[@jackiebender6700]

I had one of those baby food grinder, loved it. I never bought baby food made my own. Used blender and put things in an ice cube tray after they were frozen popped them out in a freezer container and the warmed up the food using a egg poacher or if it was fruit would let it thaw. Fortunately none of the children had food allergies.

[@kathyperkins435]

My dad's family wasn't Amish or Mennonite but from southern Indiana and I love Amish and Mennonite food!! Real comfort food. Yum. Thanks

[@taratarr5284]

I make the broccoli cauliflower salad a lot. I always do mine early and let the dressing sit on it. In my personal opinion, the longer the dressing is on, the better it tastes.😁

[@LynetteYoder]

👍🏽👍🏽

[@kimw8166]

“Recipes without a link” are the BEST recipes. I love, love, love your cooking videos!

[@deborahhershey6858]

I just love your videos because you are genuine. It’s fun seeing the kids pop up in the videos too. Reminds me of when my girls were small and I was cooking. Your pie turned out beautiful! I’ve been married 49 years and still can’t make a pie crust as well as my mom did. My husband never minds eating my mistakes. God bless you honey from a follower in NW OH.

[@944gemma]

I love all your videos. Sewing. Cooking. Housekeeping. You are great!

[@letscleanhouse]

My bunch calls the potatoes hash brown casserole. You can also add hamburger for a one pot meal.

[@bryanjason1980]

How are you doing 😊😊👋👋😊👋

[@karenjohnson4252]

I like this type of video. So many cooking shows show opening every can and box. I get bored. I like that you show you mistakes. Great work.

[@MegaTcullen]

I think the whipped jello dessert would be great for Christmas. After having a turkey dinner you are so full but you want something sweet and light and you could make it with Christmas colours if you want.

[@ohiogremlin87]

I’ve used scissors to cut stew meat into smaller pieces so thanks for showing us the scissor cutup of bacon. Great idea. I copied all your recipes. Thanks for sharing. They all look good!

[@MindyB91669]

Those potluck potatoes are one of our favs too, and also great to take for a covered dish to a party! Once, when making some, my store was out of frozen hashbrown potatoes, so I made it with tater tots instead. Now, I always use the tater tots, my family loved them that way!

[@ellamarie9709]

I’ve been wanting this peanut butter pie recipe for years and years now. As a teenager, I worked for a Mennonite owned Best Western and they served this particular pie. It is delicious and I’ve never ran across the recipe until now. Y’all it is delicious and you should try it. Thank you Lynette for sharing the recipe with us!!! 😋❤️

[@irenatheginger2491]

My son is all excited to make the whipped jello tomorrow! We make a vinegar pie crust which is amazing and comes out well just about every single time.

[@meadowview300]

Made your Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad for our Thanksgiving Day meal. It is delicious. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes. Happy Holidays and God Bless You always

[@joycecole3556]

So proud of you for going out of your comfort zone!! You are an amazing woman :)

[@amyj5607]

Dried cranberries would be so good in the broccoli salad.

[@michellebrown5566]

Ughhhh........no.

[@helenascribe210]

Michelle Brown have you ever tried it?

[@kathleengegax9664]

Oh that cranberry addition to broccoli sounds really good!

[@dawn7612]

I sold my house in PA and not sure if I still have my Amish recipe cookbook. I made a lot including Shoofly pie. My daughter may have thevrecipe book now. I was in the same hospital room as an Amish young woman after we both gave birth to our babies in 1970. We wrote for several years to keep connected. Gosh that will be 50 years ago this year! Her child will be 50 also!! Time flies.

[@bryanjason1980]

[@danileevarner234]

An old tip for rolling out pie crust....keep a linen tea towel in freezer in ziplock bag...take out and flour it . Roll crust out. Never sticks. Also pie dough likes that it's cold. Shake out and put back in freezer. Occasionally wash.☺

[@cherylstrickland866]

I always look forward to your videos. I especially enjoy your recipes because they are designed for normal people using normal ingredients. You have such a kind sweet nature. Thank you for showing the world what a Christian woman really looks like.

[@beverlymurray6554]

Great video! And kudos to you for learning to do your own pie crusts. You did great!

[@Kathy-zx5bu]

You can make the gelatin salad with regular Jello. I used to always use Dream Whip which is a powdered whipped topping. That way I could make it anytime. Both ways were delicious. Orange was my favorite. Tasted like a well known popsicle.

[@cindyconnour446]

Mennonite Mom encouraged us to come here, and I’m sooooo glad she did! You are a wonder! God bless you.

[@shannonclark8091]

I think the pie would be good with chocolate pudding. Peanut butter & chocolate! Yum!!!!!

[@charloppnow9649]

Shannon Clark that’s what I was thinking....peanut butter and chocolate. A match made in heaven!

Im a newer subscriber and just love your recipes. I grew up in Eastern PA and loved to take trips out to Amish Country and I worked for a Mennonite bank for a few years. Lovely culture. Now, my question is- do you have a cookbook of your recipes yet?? I need to print them out and try them!!! Thank you for sharing all of these, I really enjoy the variety.

[@LynetteYoder]

I don’t. I honestly don’t have enough to make my own. Most of these are adapted or from amish style cookbooks.

[@ritashustitzky4324]

Everything looked so good, I could smell the Bread and chowder. The Whoopi Pies is something I would have trouble avoiding. Your children are growing so fast, it is hard to believe. I always enjoy seeing them. I don't know how you prepare so much and manage everything. Your the Mennonite Wonder Woman 😆

That’s basically the same peanut butter pie recipe I use the only difference is my filling also has peanut butter in it for an extra peanut butter taste 😊 It’s AMAZING!!!!!

[@bryanjason1980]

[@staceyking2020]

A helpful tip...after you roll your pie crust out, use your rolling pin and roll the crust around the rolling pin to transfer to your pie pan. That way you don’t have to fold it over and it possibly tearing or getting out of shape. LOVED this content. I like to see 2-3 different recipes.

[@janetgray8737]

The peanut butter in recipe calls for 1/3 cup but in your video you say 1/2 cup. I started out with 1/3 cup but the crumbles didnt look like yours so i just naturally added more peanut butter.

Love your cooking videos. Love all your videos. My husband makes a broccoli salad almost just like yours minus the cauliflower. He adds sunflower seeds sometimes and dried cranberries. I make a hashbrown casserole that is exactly like your only I don't precook the "sauce". Just stir it all together and bake. O, I don't use Velveeta cheese. Shredded cheddar. I think I once told you that I grew up in northern Indiana surrounded by Amish and Mennonite. I never had the opportunity to talk to any of them as I had heard they don't typically like to talk to "Englishers". I watch Adaline Zooks videos all the time and had wondered if she was somehow from or married to an Amish or Mennonite due to her last name. I enjoy watching her videos too. Thanks for all you do. I'm going to have to try that peanut butter pie!

Lynette...should there be any peanutbutter in the pudding part of the peanutbutter pie? Fir 30 years I lived near Arthur, Il which had a large population of Amish and Mennonites. Such good cooks! We loved driving over to their store/bakery for bread, jams fresh eggs and summer produce. They also had a general store...such great things and fabric galore....we always said...if you couldn't find the fabric there that you were looking for...it didn't exist! It was so calm and peaceful to drive thru the country and see a simple lifestyle...I know they work hard though. Thanks for sharing so many recipes. 💐
