    Hi friends! I'm Jennifer, a fifty-something wife and mother of 7 children ages 10 - 26. We are Catholic. We homeschool. We cook from scratch. We farm cranberries. We drink coffee. We advocate for Down syndrome awareness. We are loud. We are chaotic.
    Here I'll share vlogs about all these things, what I'm doing that works and what I've tried but didn't work. I hope to encourage you in your journey through motherhood, homeschooling, learning to cook, and growing in your faith through it all.

    Hi Jennifer. What a treat to see Maria in the kitchen helping and learning-she is learning from the best. I also liked hearing her hum/sing while doing the dishes! I always say this but I really love spending time with the Brockmans. It is bittersweet as it brings back memories of my family (mom/dad/siblings) and we were all here. Thank you for sharing your family with us. Hugs.

    I found using a grapefruit spoon works great to take the seeds out. Accidents always happen a the worst time. A holiday wouldn't be the same without one.

    Jennifer, I come from a big family. My parents had 2 girls and 5 boys. I always remember when my parents would grocery shop. My dad would always butcher the meat he would get from the grocery store. They would get a sirloin tip and my dad would make steaks, stew meat, and roasts. Sometimes my dad would make sauerbraten with red cabbage, potato dumplings, and ginger snap gravy. So good!

    You must have been exhausted Jennifer after all that cooking and baking. The food all looked delicious and it looks like the family had a fun time.

    @cherylsoergel9561 Před 8 měsíci +2

    Maria making the comment about planning had me laugh. She seems to really enjoy helping in the kitchen. The big news at our Thanksgiving was my daughter telling family she is expecting in the spring. I felt this video was family life and I enjoy these the most.

    You most certainly aren't obligated to post a long Thanksgiving video. I am so glad you did, though. I love all of your videos. But the holiday ones are so nice to watch because we get to see all the love you have for your family. It doesn't hurt that you make great food either!

  • @robertaallen4785

    You're always so cool & calm. If 21 ppl were coming to our home for Thanksgiving, I would be a cranky spazz, no joke. Looked like everyone loved the food, games & ugly punch. You made wonderful memories and you're a great role model for others.

    It looked like yall had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Our Thanksgiving was great also. My daughter and sister in love brought most of the dinner to our house this year. The first time I did not cook 75% of the dinner. I'm so thankful for family...my husband was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer so it has been a tough 3 months. Faith and prayer is getting us through this and hopefully a cure. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us. Love to you all....❤😊

    I love these types of videos!! We had a great Thanksgiving and the food was delicious!! Love the leftovers! With the butternut squash, I cut the skin off, yes, a labor of love, cube it, put salt, pepper, a little oil and honey and roast in the oven until done. The cubes have just a little bit of char on them but not burnt. So delicious that all the family loves it. I roast it quite a lot. Have tried for two years to grow some in the garden and have had very little luck. When I purchased several of them, I cut them up, seal them and freeze them. Then they’re ready to roast for another meal. Glad you and your family had a great Thanksgiving!! From Alabama!!❤

  • @Donna-zc9ii
    @Donna-zc9ii Před 8 měsíci

    I always put the squash in the microwave, any kind, for 8 to 10 minutes. Let it cool a little and cut in half, scoop out, season however you want. I wrap the halves in foil and bake in the oven. We like butter and a little brown sugar. So easy to do this way.

    Informing Maria that her precious pumpkin pie is a close relative to that butternut squash she was "not gonna eat". 😂 She has come so far with how much she will eat, im sure she will be eating butternut squash in no time.

    @WillowsGarden Před 8 měsíci +1

    Hi Jennifer and sweet family! Oh how precious Maria is, she is such a big help in the kitchen. Her singing while doing the dishes made me think of of my grandmother. She always would sing with such joy in her heart.
    I’m glad you and your family had a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving with delicious food.
    Tell Maria that the punch could be called swamp juice, that’s what we called our concoction that looked like muddy water but tasted so good.
    Have a blessed night everyone!

    I'm still playing catch up. Earlier today I watched the one about 1st day of gun hunting. When Emily's little one was stirring it took me aback. I thought "what is going on? Maria stirs better than that. " THEN I realised Emily was there and of course that was her little girl stirring!! How can she be old enough yet??

    This reminds me years ago as I was cooking Thanksgiving dinner I was telling my grandaughter that I saw a bunch of wild turkey out the kitchen window. She thought a minute then asked if I bought the turkey at Kroger's! I had to laugh. Your dinner looks fantastic! I agree with Maria about the pumpkin pies. Thank you for sharing your Thanksgiving preps with us.

    I think your ugly punch made a great conversation starter! The girls when they were little used to like to mix flavors of Kool-aid together so we had some kind of wild colors of that but the one that stuck that they made over and over was camo juice. It was like and orange tasted very good but looked terrible. It even made it to one of their birthday parties along with a camo frosted cake

  • @shelleysteeves5921
    @shelleysteeves5921 Před 8 měsíci

    As kid, I hated squash. But as an adult, I loooove it! But always make buttercup squash. I roast it whole in the oven. When it’s cooked. It is so easy to cut it into and just scoop out the seeds then. 🇨🇦

  • @yvettegerry9862
    @yvettegerry9862 Před 8 měsíci

    Love butter nut squash. I bet if Maria tried it she would like it , it’s much milder than pumpkin. We like acorn squash stuffed with apples and cranberries. Table looks beautiful. The Grinch punch lol 😂 thank you for sharing your family! 🍁🦃🍁

    We don't eat turkey legs or wings. I cook the whole bird even wild ones we've gotten, then take the neck, wings, legs and carcass of the turkey and make broth.
    It doesn't matter if the parts are hard, cooking them for broth allows the flavor to come out.
    Besides you strain it anyway
