you have ants on a log twice. you also have RC cola with peanuts twice.
I LOVE the Amish cooking traditions, and most of those "recipes" make my stomach growl, with anticipation! Those folks were really in tune with how to feed each other! But…starting at 32:10 -it seems to go downhill. Wonder Bread was something I had in the late 1950's… but in the '60s 'till today, I wouldn't touch it! This was the JUNK food era. To be honest though , I have my own Chex-mix recipe, using Triscuits rather than pretzels, and a bit of curry added to the garlic salt. I LOVE the smell when I cook it, but I try to stay away from snacking on it, because the cashews and peanuts can be toxic(!) People LOVE my recipe to death(!) I would N E V E R buy a pre-made Chex-mix! I make it seasonally; I eat it…less. Peanuts and cola? NO, thanks! Hail to the Amish and Mennonites! 👍❤

How did this video go from Amish cooking to junk food? 😮
Lots of squeezed lemon slices in Dr. Pepper ❤
Amish and mennonite are two different orders. Both, good people. German/dutch.
My mom made the best egg noodles and her pie crust were like heaven. We were not Amish. But German Catholic on a small farm in Michigan. We raised a lot of pigs. And mom rendered her own lard. She also made homemade bread. And something she called “stingy coffee cake” We had scrapped and fried corn meal mush. But mom made headcheese that was different from anyone else’s.
I loved it! And I still have the stone that weighed down the plate in the crock they made sauerkraut in. And this is the first time I’ve heard anyone do dandelion salad like we did! Exactly like we did and it was called “spring tonic”. Our family tradition was to have dandelion salad on Easter Sunday. I usually skipped the hard boiled egg. But for my Dad it was a memory trip to his childhood.
My Dad grew up in the early 1900’s and they really did live like the Amish do now. And I also had the good fortune to have been able to eat tomatoes fresh from the vine.
Most of these recipes and practices were taken right off of you tube, these are practices and recipes that all Americans practiced for generations, this is the American, German, Irish, Polish, farmers practices in general who settled in the USA long ago bringing their practices with them. They became part of history, mostly those having The Holy Spirit who brought them through the tough times of survival preserving them through the tough times down through the ages. Many recipes and practices list to the spoiled grapes new age children of Satan, those who are too entitled and want everything hot and now, ingrates who think they are too good for these practices until they can steal them and sell them after they thrust everyone else into oppression because of their jealousy. Like today. Very LGBTQ and liberal.
9:20 so sad I can’t believe the middle finger was unnecessary
I make the dumpling noodles. And I just made a batch of red beet eggs.
At 9:20 while eating a beat pickle egg the man FLIPS OFF to the camera!!
I still make our version of rice chex, but we call it nuts-n-bolts.
❤❤❤❤ you made me hungry for both sweet milk and cornbread is well as buttermilk and my saltines both of these were trees that used to have with my grandmother late at night❤ choreograph in Texas it was Dr pepper with your peanuts❤ when Daddy took us to town he would get us a moon pie in an RC it had to be an RC cola nothing else went with moon pie
To us, chicken or lima bean pot pie is not the thing in a crust in the frozen section. It's dumplings, rolled flat. NEVER rolled or biscuit chunks–absolute blasphemy. It involves prayer-please, God, let them float-repeated as a mantra over the pot. It's amazing and impossible to make small amounts. I call friends and we share wonderful food and each other's company.💜
I remember putting water on to boil, walking down to the field, and picking corn, tomatoes, and cucumbers. By the time the corn was husked, the water was ready. We washed and sliced the tomatoes and cucumbers while the corn cooked. If mom felt fancy, we had a cucumber -onion salad that was amazing. If I was really lucky, we had made cornbread that morning. Give me an RC and I am in heaven.
My mom used to buy 50 lb bags of potatoes in the very early 70s. She sorted out bad ones, and sold 5 lb bags to neighbors for less than grocery store prices. She made money for the holiday baking that way. When the coffee and sugar shortages hit, our pantry was full of both. I remember making a fort out of them when my mom cleaned out the pantry. That year, we had Christmas cookies when others didn't, so they were much appreciated gifts.
My family thinks that I am paranoid, but I see a Great Depression 2.0 on the horizon. I started stock up on less perishable items in February. Since I can't drive, it takes extra planning. I really hope that I can get my hands on a bushel of red peppers and corn this summer. I used up the last of mine this winter. I love homemade roasted rd peppers. I make up different size bags to freeze. When needed, I pull them out for omelets or my no crust tray stromboli. I may be stained red for days, but it's so worth it.
All my elderly Amish and Mennonite and Bretheren relatives live in Lancaster, PA. Me; I'm Pagan; but I value all the recipes, canning, preservation, sewing and gardening tips…..remain absolutely useful. I still keep chickens and a garden; and use foraging tips to make other things. I was the first female in my family….to attend college. Decades after graduation….I'm gardening, making jam, and tending chickens. It's a DIFFERENT KIND….of learning.
"Meadow tea" is a fond memory. Now known as "mint tea." Not dried…FRESH! Yes, grandma made her noodles. Thick bois. That chicken pot pie was FILLING. No current "pasta" is anything like it. Apple butter! YES! We put it on cottage cheese for breakfast or a snack. LOTS…of butter, milk, and cheese, they kept cows and grew cattle corn. Root celler. Also a "spring house" which was a little structure built over a natural spring to keep dairy products cold. We currently have squashes hanging in string bags in our back room. Chow chow….my grandfather LOVED the stuff! My favorite was pepper cabbage…..like cole slaw….but no dairy. Vinegar, salt, sugar, spices. Mostly cabbage; some red and green bell peppers for color. We have…trash; we have no garbage. We do have chickens and a compost heap. Friendship bread; requires upkeep but great for gifting! It was the only thing my boyfriend's 104 year old mother would EAT in her last years. she remembered. I added fruit and nuts. Pickled beet eggs. we KEEP these all summer! Keep a big jar in the refrigerator. Sauerkraut helps digestion. OOOOH Scrapple! LOL We DO love our scrapple! I can find it from a local farmer, but there's a rush for it when he makes a batch! Dryer and firmer than the commercially available kind. Gets CRISPY. Yes, 2026….and we have reverted to MANY thing taught by our ancestors. I can imagine my grandmother laughing to herself. "you went to college. Now tell ME what is IMPORTANT!" Well, yes…..i have a 50 year working history…..AND….grandmothers knowledge. Both count.
OH…OH….bowties? she made cookies primarily from ground walnuts. It was my very favorite. She refused to divulge her secret. NOBODY got the recipe. the cookies were firm and chewy. she used a "bow tie" cookie cutter to make them but you could have used any cookie cutter. Have you any cookie recipies made mainly from ground walnuts and molasses?
Every time there's an add they change the channel on me but only if I'm watching" how to", videos
I put my tomatoes thrugh a blender is faster yet. Can't find any skins
You neverfinish recipes im gone
