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

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

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 😊❤

Same deal here!!

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

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.

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!

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.

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 ❤️

“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!

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

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. ❤️

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.

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.

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

I loved getting to see into your world and to hear of your reflections of growing up, things you loved and things you're glad are different. I appreciate your insights and all your efforts to share with us! Thank you!

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!!

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.

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.

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

Yay!!! So excited!!! Also the flippy thing you did with the pie crust and parchment paper was so cool!!!

I absolutely loved this!!! Thank you for sharing all of this with us. It's a great deal of work, but so satisfying to feed your family good food. Thank you so much.

That was wonderful. Reminded me so much of my mom and grandma and growing up. It was the best ever!! Good for you.

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!

What a beautiful meal you prepared for just your own little family...Easter blessings to all of you. It’s a pleasure to watch you , Megan.

All looks so delicious and you can be very proud of yourself for loving and serving your family so well.

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.

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

wow....thank you for taking the time to prepare and film this meal....amazing!

Everything looked so delicious! I love those big meals and those types of dishes. Good old fashioned cooking at its best! You're a very talented young lady!

I am so glad I found your channel Megan😁 I’m from southern Chester County but spent a lot of time in Lancaster county and Hershey. I have family that live in Akron and Litiz, and Carlisle. I moved to Austin tx 6 yes ago and I miss Lancaster so much. Seeing or hearing about familiar things and places do my soul good. Thank you Megan and happy Easter to you and your awesome family❤️

Watching you prepare all that food sure made me hungry! Even after I just had supper! Thanks for sharing this video with us! I love learning about Mennonite traditions and anything food related.

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!

Great video! Everything looks amazingly delicious!! Great job! Also, your kids are just so sweet!

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

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.

I love all of your recipes. Going to use them this holiday!

I grew up in West Virginia and our Sunday dinner after church was pretty much this growing. The video gave me such a warm feeling in my heart. I had a long hard work day and this was such a balm to my soul. Thank you! Also please make the bread and jam video!

Love it when you cook! Love your recipes!! Evonnie eating that egg was so sweet! Be blessed Megan.

This was one of my favorites! I love seeing traditional recipes 😋

Loved your video! That is so sweet of you to cook for 3 hours plus for your family! Definitely some fun family memories in the making. Thanks for sharing. Everything looked so yummy and your table was beautiful!

That’s a beautiful ham. Everything looks wonderful.

my great grandmother grew up in Berks County and was Pennsylvania Dutch. Our traditional foods were a little different but always so good! great video, one of my favorites of yours

You are so real. Love your videos

Loved the video Megan! All looked delicious. I'm not Mennonite but reminded me of a lot of the big family meals my Mom & Grandma used to make.

Your traditional meal looked lovely and even better to share with love and your family. Well done! X

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

I really loved your latest video. I just love when you do cooking videos, or home style, tours around where you live... Yes I would love to see a video on your home made jelly. Happy Easter to you & yours

The thumbnail, as you call it- the picture with your voila smile and holding the pie . . . outstanding!!!!!!

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...

What a wonderful looking dinner! Loved watching. Happy Easter!

We are not Mennonite but we come from a huge southern family and have meals very similar to this! Thank you for sharing! Cannot wait to try this pie!

This was a great video! Everything looked so delicious.

Ooooh! This is so awesome. Thank you so much for sharing. 💚

GREAT video! Really enjoyed all the recipes and information, thank you for sharing! Loved this and definitely trying these recipes!

Well Done Megan!!

You’re making my mouth water!! My extended family are German Baptist and man I miss their cooking! After my Great Grandparents passed away everyone just kinda faded and stopped getting together :( It’s so sad because my kids can’t grow up knowing and playing with cousins the way that I did! Your meal looks delicious and you are such a beautiful soul!

I’d love the recipe for the rolls! They looked so good. I also like learning typical “mennonite meals” because they are different from how I grew up but are comfort food and surprisingly, not too difficult it seems!!

Evonnie and her deviled egg...so precious! 😋🥚💕

Beautiful spread and beautiful family!! Happy Easter!❤️

Wow, Hi from the UK. I will be trying the browned butter on green beans this Sunday. Thank you so much for sharing, and I hope you all have a lovely Easter x

I love your videos! Appreciate you sharing a bit of your life with us.

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

Great way to end the day. Thanks Megan!

Love your table setting skills! Beautifully done. And the cooking skills, obviously 😉

Just bought the cookbook! There was a small Mennonite community near my home town in Kansas. Love your podcast. Love the way you dress modestly. Love your cooking. Your ethics challenge me.

I was so happy to hear you mention mincemeat pie!! It's my favorite!

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.

Yes to the Mennonite Cookbook. It was the main one my mom used and one I still use, especially for pies and desserts. Oh yum. Fun video indeed.

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

Everything looks delicious! Great job.

I enjoy watching your videos! I’m a Mexican Canadian Mennonite living in Canada. We had the pleasure of trying a shoo fly pie at the “Barns at Nappanee” in Nappanee, IN. A few years ago when we were on vacation. It was delicious!

I have, and love, a hardcover copy of that cookbook. Growing up near Lancaster meant enjoying all the yummy food, which has stayed with us even after moving away . Especially shoofly pie, my favorite too. Thanks for introducing new cooks to great, simple food.

🍴Great meal prep All the food looked delicious

Everything looked lovely. You did a great job.

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!

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 love hearing more about Mennonite traditions!

Amazing 👏. Thank you. Definitely going to try the brown butter!!

That looks amazing

My husband was born/raised in Reading, Pa. so browned butter noodles and shoo fly pie are staples for him! He is in charge of browning the butter in the cast iron skillet! Lovely video!

Let’s eat!!!! Great job Megan! Everything looked delicious. I have never had shoo-fly pie before. I have always wondered what it tasted like. I may have to make one and give it a try. I’m going to try the brown butter too.

This was amazing! I’ve heard so much about shoofly pie but had no idea what it was! 😂 I think I’ll have to try making it soon! Your deviled eggs look professional 😁

Wow! That looks so delicious! 👏🤤 I love cooking family dinners. Enjoying great homemade food and spending time together ist the best! 🥰❤️

Go Megan! My family cooked and ate like that, too, minus the noodles and shoefly pie. We aren't Mennonite, but close neighbors-Pilgrim Holiness in Western PA. We even enjoyed jelly bread growing up, but usually as breakfast and lunch on hot summer days. This video was wonderful and beautifully done. You captured the home goodness that you feel when preparing and sitting down to a family meal. I'm the youngest of 10 and enjoyed large gatherings, too. Thanks for sharing your special traditions. It's fun to see the kids' smiles. God bless your grandmother. Great job!

Everything looked awesome!

I really enjoyed this video! Shoofly pie brought back many memories as when I visited my grandparents in PA we would have that sometimes. Haven’t had it in yrs.

Hi, Wow, great video!. You did a wonderful job. Everything looks delicious. Family and love together are the best recipe!. Thank you for sharing.

Great video Megan! The food looked amazing!! Love our Mennonite cooking!!! 🥰❤️❌⭕️🙏🏻🍲

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

Loving that meal. Everything looks delicious. Great job with everything. 💕👍🏻

Yes please on the jelly recipe! Love your channel. Thank you

I made shoe fly pie with help from our PA friends. But I have had shoe fly pie that different people have made( they are not all the same!) Yours looked really good! I dont like it if it's dry. Thanks for inspiration!!

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. ❤️

Everything looked yummy. Especially that ham. Blessings

I really love this. Im not menonite but grew up in rural PA, and come from people with a farming background - and we share a lot of the same traditional foods/meals. Even how you said veggies are always cooked to death, ha. Love it 💗

This is so reminiscent of my childhood. Especially the pickles olives and deviled eggs. These meals are the best. Brown butter everything is amazing. I was always afraid of making shoo fly pie. I always enjoy watching your videos. My Grandma who passed at 98 1/2 in 2019 always had a spread. My Grandpa always was telling us to have butter bread with each meal. I would love your jelly recipes

That looked amazing and also exhausting, thank you for sharing with us

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!

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