What is a Mennonite Recipe Blog?

Welcome here.

I have invited some girls to come along side of me to treat the world to the best recipes we have. Some of the recipes will have a Mennonite origin and others will be the best of what we all enjoy.


We have learned to cook because we enjoy the gift of hospitality.
Many of us started to bake when we were still young and allowed to help in the kitchen.
Our kitchens are where people love to be and 
the aromas that come from our kitchens are fabulous.

I pray that this will be a blessing to others.

When God lays an idea on my heart, 
I don't ask why, I strive to obey
and that is why this blog is started today.

All the contributors to this blog share my values and love of cooking.

Be blessed.

  7. I am looking forward to all the mouth-watering recipes that will be featured here. I'm not Mennonite but I attended Winnipeg Bible College (now Providence College) and I was privileged to taste Sadie Warkentin's fabulous cooking! Treat after treat. Farmer's sausage and borscht were all new to this Maritimer but I enjoyed them and many other Mennonite delicacies. I'm sure this will be a very popular site and I, for one, will be a frequent visitor

  8. Let Charlotte know I just may take a trip her way in the fall to visit my sister who knows Charlotte. We just may have to call Betty R as I think she lives where my relatives live and we may have to cook up something amazing and post it. We may become the feature of the month:) I may have to have you pack your bags to join me on that trip. Who knows... a cookbook business trip:)? How silly, I haven't even figured out how to type in my name yet. Good thing I have a good tutor. (YOU) Looking forward to this new venture with you and the gals. Kathy

  12. Thank-you Lovella for the invitation.
    Won't this be fun using everybody's recipes. It's like my daughter said to me, "Is this your community?"
    I said, "It definitely is. It's one of them."
    What a wonderful way to share recipe's that have lasted for generations.

  13. I don't know how often you ladies check these blogs, but could one of you lovely women put a recipe for Sticky buns on here? I am from Lancaster County PA, and have been transplanted to NY, and miss the food culture of the PA Dutch...I can't find a decent sticky bun recipe.Help!
    God Bless

  15. My daughter shared this blogsite with me. I'm so excited. I grew up in a Mennonite low German family and have kept up with cooking the traditional foods my mother and grandmothers taught me. I would love to contribute from time to time. Let me know what that involves.

  16. I found out about your site from my daughter, a blogger herself. I grew up in a Mennonite home and still make recipes passed on from my mother and grandmothers. I would love to contribute from time to time. Let me know what that involves. I'm trying some of the rhubarb recipes this week.
