Your videos make me so happy! There are so many elements from the children and your recipes, but the best part is your smiling face that is such a reflection of God's love. Thank you!

Kendrick has stolen my heart. My grandson is 34 and reminds me of him exactly as I’ve watched him grow up. This has been a real treat for me, since he is my only grandson. I now have 2 great grandson but neither one is this much like him. Kendrick warms my heart.

I'm so glad I found your channel. Your videos remind me so much of my childhood. I hated every minute of gardening/farm life. Now as an adult and grandmother, those were my best memories and I wish I could now give that to my grandchildren. FYI, my grandmother made whoopie pies all the time and she would change the flavor.

I grew up in a city back in the 70’s, I had divorced parents and rarely seen my dad. My mom worked many hours so I was home with no parents and a mean sister, I dreamed of living on a farm and having a garden! I guess we all want what we don’t have 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m now a gardening and canning freak !

I love how you use everything, no waste….like letting the boys clean the bowls and beaters (no waste there by the way they clean it up BEFORE they wash them) and also how the boys help do their part in speeding up the wrapping, by eating as many as they can before they are wrapped, that way less to wrap!

My husband just ordered me a Bosch mixer with extra attachments. I am so excited!

I’m a Pa Dutch girl who grew up near Lancaster and we ate Whoopie Pies like there was no tomorrow. This brought back such great memories. I truly love the Zimmerman family SO much….❤️🙏🏼🤗

My fav thing about this channel is it’s not about your fancy kitchen. Or bragging about all you make. You just knock out volumes of food with a smile. 🎉

You have no idea the joy that your videos being me! I love to see Harrison, who seems to be in the kitchen with you pretty often. He sure seems to like his food. I think he may grow up to be the cook in his family, lol.😂😂

All your hard work has paid off. You have a beautiful wonderful family. There is so much honesty in love in your eyes. I feel blessed that your channel came on my stream. I am currently obsessed with Amish Canning practices and use all the recipes that you've put on the channel. You are living my dream and i hope to get there one day and have my own little corner of land for my family!!😊 thank you

Well said! 👍 Doug and Stacey have an off-grid homelife and live in Amish country but are not Amish themselves. Maybe that could give you some ideas. This channel is terriffic! I am a new subscriber but am impressed with her videos and her kids are so well-mannered, yet still kids. I hope tgey don't have accidents needing a hospital. Being careful is "not cool" for kids. They rather be daring.

I was born and raised Mennonite in kalona Iowa area . My Mennonite grandmother in Michigan made Whoopie pies every Christmas. They were the best! Now i live in Oklahoma about 1 and a half hours away from an Amish bakery that makes them! 😊

I grew up in South western PA. Your lifestyle reminds me of the way we were raised. We milked 52 Holstein cows. We started milking at 4:30 every morning and 5 in the evening. My mom made everything from scratch. I cherished all the skills she taught me. I have taught my childern the skills I learned. I love watching your channel. I reminisce on years past. Thank you. God Bless you and your family.

Thank you so much for the recipes! My mother made these when I was a little girl and I loved them! Actually, I began to bake when I was about 9 and this recipe was the first thing that I made! Instead of tablespoons of cocoa, I used teaspoons! As you can imagine, they were very light in color, but other than that, they came out pretty good! We had the no powdered sugar frosting for them. I’m so happy to have this recipe! Brings back sweet memories!! Hubs is a truck driver and these would be perfect for him as he’s driving down the road!❤️❤️❤️

What a beautiful family vlog done by the family on Good Friday making whoopi pies, they looked delicious & I have never ever tried a whoopi pie because I’m in Scotland and we don’t have them here. I’m beginning to think that this granny could be making a “single” batch of them one day. I love the relationship between Harrison & Kendrick true brothers at heart, the joy of Harrison seeing the waffle whoopi pies and immediately shouting on Kendrick to come because he would be so happy to see what was there. I love Harrison’s gentle loving tough to his mama but also to his big sister Stacie arms open wide for a giant hug and the love is given back in spades. It is a joy to watch your beautiful family , thank you for opening your door to us 🩷🌸

Making afterschool snacks is the best mom job ever!

The smiles on the kids faces said it all, their whoopie cakes were delightful. 🙏🏻

I just love watching Harrison’s face light up when you are cooking. So cute.

I am so sorry! 🤗💛 What a great loss! May God continue to comfort you along with those in your life. Life sure is a mystery. My father used to say, live for God, die for God. His death was untimely abd resulted in my not having anything to do with siblings or my mother. The last thing she said to.my father, married 50 years, was "I'm lioking for a boyfriend" and my father sobbed. I hung the phone up on her. People need to be resustant to social engineering and it starts with upbringing. Nevertheless, the element of choice is still there and I consider my relatives accountable. The untimely death of my father will alwsys leave a scar. Now this nice lady's loss is unspeakable! And I hope she has comfort that passes understanding.

My mother’s heart breaks for you

Thank you for saying out loud what I say or think about not wanting to take out the mixer due to not having enough kitchen counter space and also for me with the chore of making cookies…

I make whoopie pies every Christmas. This is a tradition I carry forward from my maternal grandmother whom I miss terribly even after many many hears. My kids and grandkids look forward to them every year.

Happiness is cooking with the sound of laughing children in the background.

Whoopie pies are addicting! I'm blessed to live in a part of Central Pennsylvania where there's so many great bakers. The local general store makes Coffee ones.

I remember the Whoopie Pie assembly line!! Those were always favorites for school fundraisers. I can remember being so tired of fiddling with them but determined to make our sales goals. Great memories! The waffle ones look fantastic as well. Will definitely be trying those.

Good Morning we love whoopie pies. My grandma used to cook 11:13 Pennsylvania Dutch meals. She was born just outside of Lancaster, PA.

I made these yesterday ( a single batch). They are a huge hit. Thank you, Ruthann. And my grand babies thank you too ❤😊

"Flour" frosting is our family's favorite with Chocolate cake. Whoopi pies will be a great addition to our next family gathering. Love watching the boys help in the kitchen💕💖

I chuckle when I watch you cooking with your kids around and around. We did everything by scratch, eve tamales, . I remember nursing a baby and stiring the spagetti sauce. Had to stop some of that when they were teens and I went to work outside the home.

Harrison made good on the Whoopie Pie legend! He came in and let out a masterful whoop! lol

The "twins" are so helpful and sweet . I call them twins because they are always together and really love each other. Love your channel !

Hi Monica 🌹🌹 How are you doing?

Your kids are just so polite…i love watching them choose which woopie is best to eat!!! And…I am watching this at 10 pm..guess who has a craving for woo pie pies!!!! No fair! I hope I wake up and the craving is gone lol. Pigs are my favourite farm animal..thank you for filming them having a ‘whale’ of a time in their wallow. Happy pigs! Makes my heart sing! X

My grandmother used to make these in the Appalachian mountains so it isn't just a PA Dutch baked goods. She also did this same thing with many other "flavors" soooo good! I have to try to make some.

You"re such a good cook and make everything look so easy.

We love whoopee pies. My Mom makes oatmeal, chocolate, pumpkin, and red velvet pies. We like them frozen as well. We are Mennonite in SE Louisiana. We are not conservative or old order.

What a few variations of such a delightful treat. Thank you for all you do. Also thank you for such a wonderful opportunity to be able to win and have our very own Bausch mixer and dehydrator. I've always wanted a mixer as this one. Love to you all.

The excitement from your children is so awesome! I love it. ❤

Grew up making and eating whoopie pies. My grandmother would always have a ton of them for us. My favorite way to eat them is from the freezer. Kind of like an ice cream sandwich. Shortening is more traditional. Yum. The cooked frosting is our family's favorite

I’ll have Whoopie pies! I grew up in Lancaster alongside Amish and Mennonite families and we always got all kinds of Whoopie pies!!

I love whoopie pies. I actually worked on a recipe till I got one right. I'm a cake decorator so I had a lot of frosting left over and what I did was take my buttercream and add some marshmellow cream in the mix till I got the consistency I wanted, and it worked great. Love your channel, I saw the whoopie pies and said, yep I'm watching this!

Aww this brought back memories of my grandfather making these for me when I was little. He is from Pennsylvania and moved to Alaska.

I'm glad you and Michelle our collaborating. I subscribed to her channels as well. My heritage is Pennsylvania Dutch. Although, my father married a "southern" and our tradition's changed quite a bit. Some of my fondest early childhood memories are of my Gran and Granaw (Great grandmother and grandmother) cooking things like scrapple and pigs feet jelly... I could go on and on but those two start the list. Thanks for introducing me to Michelle.

Yum! Scrapple 🥰 I live in the Midwest. We bring back lots of goodies when we comes back from PA to share with our friends who haven’t gotten to try it. Favorites are scrapple, Lebanon bologna and sweet bologna.

We certainly didn’t need these in our house, but that didn’t stop me from making them today 😂 They were a hit! Thank you 😊

You are such a joy to watch! Your interactions with your children are so genuine, and the skills that you are sharing are wonderful! Thank you!

I love hearing your wind chimes..... They always make me happy hearing them when the wind blows. I have several sets. I've always thought I'd like to try that style mixer so I'm glad to see yours in action! ❤

I can sit and watch your videos for hours. People don't realize what a wonderful life you have. And I realized that rather you work on a farm are factory work is always hard. My grandmother grandpop was a poor share cropper at the end of the harvest the owner them a big ham and a case of Orange crush soda. Once a year . My stepdad hitchhiked from North Carolina to Baltimore MD the big miserable city met my mom and worked a hot factory spray painting n got lung disease. Anyway we all need to appreciate what we have. And when I see RUTHANN working I know it's hard but she's a good wife n momma and that is priceless. Women work a job and pay a sitter what do they have left. Work at home moms that's the best you could ever give them

My grandchildren will love this!!

I love Whoopie Pies so much. This is the first Saturday of the month, so I will be going to our Mennonite store close to us because it is Donut Day! (first Saturday of the month) I also always pick up a Whoopie Pie, so it is double treats. Thanks so much for the video showing the whole process making it possible for me to make my own. Loved watching the kids snatch up the tasty treats, and they were so helpful! Have a great week!

I love watching your KZread channel. Love your recipes, lifestyle and your beautiful family. I’ve always loved to bake cook and can. I only found KZread a couple years ago when my husband passed away from cancer and I was looking for a more reasonable cable network and found the Roku channel and KZread. It has been a Godsend. Thank you for your wonderful videos ❤

I'm from NJ and spent a lot of time in Lancaster because my dad partially grew up there. Now I live in CA and you can't get a good whoopee pie anywhere; thanks for the recipe!! 💕

Your Whoopie Pies look so Delicious! I haven't made them in years! I need to make some! Yum Yum! I really enjoyed watching all the Children helping .......and the little boys licking the Bowl! Brought back great memories for me.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! ❤ I made these yesterday with the original filling. I was sure glad I didn't double the recipe enjoyed their fill I was wished I was wishing I had a doubled it. Lol they enjoyed them so much. They raved and raved about how good they were. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and helping me to make my family happy.

Hi Sherry🌹🌹 How are you doing?

I have always thought that whoopie pies were a Maine creation, Funny I just told my husband this afternoon that I planned to make a double batch for a family gathering this summer, I said he was going to have to help me because it's a pretty big project. I enjoyed seeing your little grandson. I have 3 little grand babies now. They are such a blessing!!

Thank you SO MUCH for confirming that woopie pies and Gobs are the same thing!!! We are from PA originally and so a lot of our family favorites are PA Dutch. My grandmother made Gobs for every important family function. My brother loves them. I so want to make him some!!! God bless you!

Your comment to your son made me giggle, i think all moms everywhere must ask the hand washing question in two parts. "Have you washed your hands?" Yes."With soap?!" Thanks for another yummy recipe.

Whoopie pies are great! I especially love to watch your helpers and how they enjoy themselves in work and play (and dessert)😊

I love watching you and your family. So good to see their are still families who are being taught to okd ways which consists of respect , hard work, discipline and trust.
