🥣LOTS OF TIME SPENT IN THE KITCHEN + ANOTHER PIE TUTORIAL + DEER HUNTING FOOD🦌

[@nancycowan6109]

Until you realize that this channel is geared to Sean Hannity and the miscreant teachings of the Fox network. Nothing soothing about that.

[@rosegroshek1218]

@@nancycowan6109 oh dear lord, get out of here with that nonsense. Nowhere does she mention politics in her videos, they are an amazing, hardworking, Catholic family. If you have such an issue with that, don't watch her channel

I am happy I can leave a commit. I have been following your channel for about 6 months or so. I love seeing your children growing up into young well mannered adults.

[@youpattube1]

A wonderful video. You have such a nice family and a busy life. Thank you for going to the extra trouble of setting up the camera many times and editing and so forth, and letting us join in. I am old and alone now, and seeing this deer hunting prep and buzzing around and even slightly grumpy newly awakened people brings back memories of the good old days.

[@cherylfewell-brown4070]

You are so lucky to have your family and grand babies altogether living a country life! We just sold our California home and are moving within a mile of our granddaughters in Conroe, TX. We are so excited!! The kids moved at the end of June 2021 and it took us 4 months, (and my 91 year old mom's death 7/19/21) to make us think......why are we staying in California?? So we bought a home being built in the same neighborhood as our daughter. We can't wait to get there hopefully by the end of January 2022!

I also never heard of cranberry nut pie. I’m trying your recipe this weekend!

[@cindakellogg1307]

Just passing a tidbit of info...when my dutch oven gets stained on the bottom, I put some water in it, enough to cover the stain, then about 1/3 cup bleach. Let it sit overnight...empty out and wash really well with soap and water. Makes it look brand new. I like 'em when they shine! Beautiful dough...I can almost feel how wonderful it is.

[@acountrylife]

I’ll try the bleach tip. I’ve done baking soda before and that didn’t help at all.

[@megg.8084]

I love the way your family hunts and puts back. The art of hunting and gathering to feed our families has really gotten lost. So many people can’t imagine killing and eating their kill but I’m thankful to have been raised this way and bringing my children up in this way. You make the most beautiful pies my friend! I use your cookbook often and made Eric’s salad just the other day!

[@ReiverGrad14]

I'm drooling over the corn

[@Heavncentt]

I bought your hamburger press earlier this year. I cut a large ziploc bag open, leaving the bottom of the bag intact. Then slip the meat in between the plastic sheets, press and pull the patty out. I never have to wash the press since the plastic protects it.

[@acountrylife]

Very smart and a little garbage.

[@kathysparks6338]

Thank you so much for sharing your recipes, you all work hard and play hard. Enjoyed watching your family together. What a blessing. God bless

[@dianatennant4346]

Really enjoyed today forgot since I was a teenager at the time what the first day of hunting season was like. Couldn't see that mostaccoli salad that Uncle Eric made what all does he put in his. I enjoy all different pasta and macaroni salads and make them most of the summer and some throughout the year. Ears just perk up if I see something different. Lots of cooking lots of people enjoyable but busy times love it

[@acountrylife]

Do you have my cookbook? Mostaccioli salad is on a age 14. It’s not data, inion, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes(he leaves those out) and then an oil /vinegar/seasonings dressing.

[@betsymeyers1976]

I still have one of those Tupperware bowls too. It even has a mangled handle from our now deceased yellow lab, but I love the bowl to mix pancakes or tuna salad. It is deep enough to keep from making a mess. I know I could replace, but the handle reminds me of our dog Happy. He was my first and last dog.

[@mollysmith6055]

You are generous with instructions, thank you! I use a food processor for pie crust but need to try your way. Love hearing kids in the background...brings back mama days. Hard finding fresh cranberries today...time to get bags in the freezer again when I can find them! I don't have the 'pie edge gene', the best I can do is a plain zig-zag edge, haha. Sure wish I could come to your house and be your kitchen assistant. Saw a 3-point buck today while running errands browsing at a house with an untended apple tree. I'm glad you put the Libby's pie recipe in your cookbook, my family thinks that is the best pumpkin pie recipe too. I have the hardest time finding your volume 1 cookbook in my house! It bounces between the kitchen, living room and sewing room depending on where I am wanting to dig in with a cup of coffee or a cup of decaf tea.

[@mommyof2g1b]

Oh my that twisted pie crust is so pretty! Happy Holidays!

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

I never use unsalted butter to me it tastes like bland grease, much akin to crisco. Because my daughter works for a plant that makes butter I know all the extra nonsense that's put into unsalted butter to try to improve the flavor. She brings home huge boxes of salted butter every month that we share amongst friends.

[@acountrylife]

I always thought unsalted was just simply no salt added.

[@mollysmith6055]

Thank you for that insider info, very helpful!

[@annroberts4593]

@@acountrylife ya no they add additives

[@TreasureRescue]

@@acountrylife some brands add "natural flavorings" like Land O lakes etc. The brand Vermont Creamery (walmart carries it) does not have additives and tastes amazing. "Natural flavorings" are highly processed plant and animal flavors and can be anything...a little scary.

Jennifer could you please share your bread recipe? I just got a new bread machine I need to start collecting some recipes. I am aware that you cook it in the oven that's what I will do as well. Aiso at the end of the vlog there is a spiral cold pasta dish that looked delicious could you tell us what that one is and if you have a recipe for it. Thank you. Laurie ❤️❤️😊🇨🇦

Put a damp paper towel at the edge of the cutting viard when you cut onions and it will help it not sting your eyes. Weird but it works.

[@rachalnocchi5600]

Those mean 'ol onions, lol, poor kiddo! I have not ever had much luck with pie crusts, I've not tried using lard. I do have Crisco, would that work as well? Thank you so much for putting all your hard work into your videos! I just ordered your cookbook and I can't wait to get it!

[@patriciasweet9102]

Oh absolutely Loved watching the 3 days. and the recipes. Hint' When you get bread, buns or rolls. Put a paper towel in the bag close. Freeze. When ready thaw leave paper towel in bag till all eaten. Will absorb the moisture and keep breads moist but won't grow mold. Lady at the day old bread store was told this. it works great. I use to buy the 30 pillow pack of hamb. buns. sm family so had to repackage. No problems with that or our bread.

[@lynhanna917]

I you depend on a recipe on the can of pumpkin write it down, they sometimes change out your favorite recipe on the can. Tell Maria that back in the olden days kids either called grown ups Mr or Mrs or Aunt or Uncle. I had so many Aunts and Uncles that my constant comment was is this a real Aunt/Uncle or a pretend. And then we got to cousins. Oh my, I understand where she is coming from. And just an FYI all my real aunt's and uncle's on my mother's side were really great Aunts/Uncles. I had one confusing childhood.

[@charitywelch7877]

Opening day here is mini cold cut sandwiches, cheetos, red Gatorade and trail mix. Oh and a huge pot of taco soup for the end of the day. Funny how we get into routines for our opening day menu huh? Your snacks looked better by the way!
