    Hi friends! I'm Jennifer, a forty-something wife and mother of 7 children ages 9 - 25. 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.

    Warren shaking his head in the background about the leftover cabbage made me giggle. And the Joe Cam was just too cute.

    Thanks for sharing your real life meal combos and including the “oops” that occur from time to time ex when chicken didn’t defrost as planned and you went w plan B or when cole slaw mix was slimy so you used the salad mix instead. Those are definitely real life happenings. Keep filming & sharing. Susan

    Jen, if you started thawing/cooking your frozen chicken in the instant pot (or pressure cooker) you'd have that chicken all done in minutes. I cook my hamburger for om frozen to cooked. They both take only 35 minutes. A thought with love.

    Jennifer, Put a post it note in your cookbook to try adding orange zest to the cream cheese frosting. Thats how we've done pumpkin bars for years. I would make up the frosting as soon as the cake goes in the oven. I would leave it on the counter in my cool wisconsin kitchen in winter. Or fridge in my warm wisconsin summer kitchen. Let the zest meld in the cream cheese frosting a bit. It makes it even more amazing!! That's one of the cakes I always asked for for my birthday. And a Thanksgiving tradition in our family.

    I just wanted to let you know that I made your focaccia bread last night. My entire family just loved it. I’m eating it as a sandwich with just cheese and butter right now. So good! Thank you for your delicious recipes. (Also made your choc chip blondies, half choc chip, half butterscotch…yummy!)

    Pumpkin bars look good. I do a lot of meal prep ahead, as much as I can especially when having the whole family over. Some of the things I make actually cook better from a frozen state, and make it a lot easier when the whole gang is here.

    @rachalnocchi5600 Před rokem

    So the way you set out all the ingredients for the pumpkin bars is how I HAVE to do things, especially when baking. My scatter brain will always leave something out or my eyes skip over an ingredient in the recipe if I don't have it all laid out first, lol.

    Hi 😊, I just finished watching your virtual videos, all 50 of them, on my T.V. You are so right, all they show normally is just the harvesting. I really enjoyed watching each one of them. I do have a question. Do you all ever get a vacation ?

    Hi Jennifer I’m going to make cabbage rolls for the freezer tomorrow ! Have lots of rice I need to use and cabbage heads . I love my Pyrex pan that size also but I’ve used them so much I can’t get them to look good anymore 😢 but they work lol 😊 everything looks delicious . Thank you ! ✨🌈✨

  • @angelawix2075
    @angelawix2075 Před rokem

    Genius!! I saw when you were cutting chicken you put paper towel under the board to hold it still. I’ve never thought to do that.

    • @acountrylife
      @acountrylife  Před rokem

      A damp paper towel works, but I actually use a rubbery drawer liner. It works for holding cutting boards in place as well as opening tight jars.

    The shrimp tacos looked amazing...as did everything else
    . Did Warren like the salad mix better than the coleslaw?

    • @acountrylife
      @acountrylife  Před rokem

      He said it was fine, but we both agreed the cole slaw provides a good crunch.

  • @cherylsoergel9561

    I bought a bag of Aldi coleslaw mix on a Friday. Went to use it on a Tuesday and it wouldn't last one more day. It was definitely not expired.

    Question?? Why is Maria so picky? I never had picky eaters so I have a hard time understanding that! LOL Does she take vitamins/minerals?

      A lot of kids are picky eaters. She will grow out of it. If you fix her what she likes she will eat it. No big. Deal

    • @AndreaRuralMN
      @AndreaRuralMN Před rokem +2

      My son's autism and ADHD caused him to eat pizza, cheeseburgers, and spaghetti O's and not much else for over 5 years. Once he was old enough to make a sandwich I stopped making him separate food. Now at 14 he eats most meals I make unless his meds are messing with his appetite. Vitamins weren't very consistent because he'd up and refuse them after a while. Now he takes them everyday. Probably not true for each kid but not catering to the pickiness (and at the same time not making a big deal about it) has worked for my son. BTW he's average height and weight. Slim but still average and healthy (I work at his school and can easily compare when I start worrying) 💗

      @@AndreaRuralMN yes I think you need to pick your battles with kids and food.

    • @acountrylife
      @acountrylife  Před rokem

      Some kids are just pickier than others. Same as adults. I don’t make a big deal over it because after 7 kids I see that eventually they come around and eat. Nick was by far my pickiest and today I haven’t found a food he doesn’t like except nuts in cookies. 😊
