Prep Our Mother's Day Menu With Me | Country Homemaker Day in the Life

In today's country homemaker day in the life I'm prepping all the food for a mother's day lunch. We're taking the food to my mom's place and all but one of my kids will be there also. It's food for 16 people. And this didn't show in the video, but we polished off every last bit + some chips and dip my aunt and uncle brought and a pile of tootsie pops from grandma!! We know how to eat! All the recipes are in my cookbooks. Chocolate Torte and Pizza Burgers are in cookbook 1 and Mom's Potato Salad is in cookbook 2 (I think, or is it book 1?) Anyway, you can also search my KZbin channel and find all those recipes as well in other videos. I make them often.

Isthe lake on your property if so awesome

[@jenniferchristenson1272]

🤍

[@christijordan3716]

Joe looks so grown up!!!!

[@nancyfarkas3592]

I had no idea the northern lights was going to be showing so I missed it but the pictures I saw were beautiful

[@susanhollis5015]

😊❤🙏

[@debgordon6542]

Finally got a few minutes to catch up. Enjoyed it thoroughly

[@acountrylife]

Washing dishes and watching a vlog is one of my simple pleasures in life. Makes the time go quicker. And yes, watching my grandkids play is so fun.

[@loriketring345]

Enjoyed the video Jennifer. Your mother is very lucky to have you.

[@acountrylife]

I’m lucky to have her. Thanks for watching Lori. 🤩

[@carolinequirk6136]

It confuses me when you speak of Mother’s Day this time of year, Mothering Sunday is the 4th Sunday of Lent here in Wales. I know Mother’s Day is in May there in the U.S.A. But. Mothering Sunday is when you go to your Mother Church where you were christened and over many years it has changed to Mother’s Day.

[@acountrylife]

Here in the US, Mother's Day is the 2nd Sunday of May. Interesting history - thanks.

[@bethd9160]

Are you boating on the same lake where you grow the cranberries? It's so pretty where you live.

[@acountrylife]

Yes. It's technically a reservoir (we call it the pond) and it's the water we pull from to irrigate the cranberries and for flooding the cranberry beds.

[@kelliconlan8133]

I do the same thing....when something is used up i add it to the shopping list. Never want to run out!! The northern lights in southern Minnesota were great also.

[@acountrylife]

I'm hearing from people all over the US that the Northern Lights were great. Glad to hear you saw the magnificent sight.

[@lizboudreaux6811]

Happy Mother’s Day! You’re a great mother!

[@JJ-mh8ej]

Buy a silicone reusable tray for your drippings on the blackstone! I have 2 and while one is being washed, I put the other in for next time! So easy and less waste!

[@acountrylife]

Walmart? Amazon? I’ll have to look around.

[@patriciakoester1580]

Happy Mother’s Day Everyone ♥️ Patricia

[@acountrylife]

Thanks Patricia.

[@kathieponder7708]

Happy Mother's Day to a great mom. Love your blogs. God bless your family.

[@melaniemurphy2429]

It was so nice seeing everyone have a relaxing boat ride. All of you work so hard that I enjoy watching you have some play time! 😊

[@ArleneKorth]

Sweet video! Jennifer, your Maria, Peter, and Joe are growing up faster and faster. I love seeing them mature and change but miss those 3 sweet little kids too. Time just marches on, doesnt it ?! Happy belated Mother's Day!

[@ritabaker3113]

Belated Mother’s Day blessings

[@acountrylife]

Thank you Rita 🫶

[@doraarellano2283]

How do you think the pizza burgers would taste on garlic toast?

[@acountrylife]

Pizza Burgers on garlic toast would be phenomenal!

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jennifer and sweet family! I’m so glad you had a wonderful Mother’s Day with your mother and the children. I spent the day with my mother too and I know I’m so blessed to have her as my mother. She will be 84 years old soon and I want to do something very special for her birthday. It looks like the kids enjoyed the boat ride. It’s such beautiful scenery on the lake even though it was a cold day. Your meals always make me hungry, lol. I hope everyone has a very blessed night!

[@acountrylife]

We appreciate our mothers more and more each year. I’m sure your mother enjoyed the visit.

[@WillowsGarden]

@@acountrylife I made her favorite chocolate fudge cake with chocolate buttercream icing, she loved it.

[@pennysue8926]

Great video! Is that an enamel coated cast iron pan you are using?? And if you are, please use silicone or similar... or wooden utensils in it. Not only are you scratching the interior surface (which you can see in this video the scratch marks), but within time, you are putting that coating into your food?? No metal utensils should be used in these kinds of cooking pans... ever.

[@acountrylife]

Whoops! I use metal all the time; it's going to take some work to change over and remember.

[@kittyrichards9915]

My daughter lives in Wisconsin. She said the same thing about the northern lights. The camera really enhances the color. Some people in Indiana saw them, but we looked and didn't see them.

[@cathydecarles7084]

Jennifer I love this video I remember When Joe Peter and Maria were little they are growing up right before our eyes You have such a beautiful Family sweet Friend God bless you all Cathy🙏🏻✝️☮️📿🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂💙❤️💝🍀💐💜🌹💗🌺Happy belated Mother’s day to you and Emily 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿

[@acountrylife]

Hi Cathy, nice to hear from you. I hope you are enjoying your day and not affected by all the storms lately.

[@lanagraham1661]

I know your Mom enjoyed her Mother's Day visit and meal.❤ Your grandkids are so cute. Love the little pigtails!😀

[@acountrylife]

I know; everytime she wears pigtails she gets cuter and cuter.

[@Madelinechriston]

Happy Belated Mother’s Day Jennifer! I hope you and all us other moms, in any way, shape or form-enjoyed the day❤

[@acountrylife]

Thank you! You too!

[@henrycooks1883]

Grandchildren are growing fast. The northern light were unreal here in Maine, I didn’t expect the show we got.

[@thomyewright2011]

Happy Mothers Day to you, your mother and Emily!

[@annateague2354]

Jennifer ordered the drip trays off Amazon. That’s where I get mine.

[@pamelastucker8335]

Glad you and your family spent Mother’s Day with your mom.

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Jennifer. Everything looked delicious! The boat ride looked fun. Hugs.

[@acountrylife]

Thanks Denise. 🫶 Have a great evening.

[@nancywelsh8028]

I really enjoy your videos! I grew up in Northern Mn and my Grandparents were in Austin Mn in a farm. They raised hogs and had corn, soybeans and straw fields. A lot of work living on the farm.

[@acountrylife]

Hi Nancy, I enjoy watching other mid-westerners as well. I relate to their content. Thanks for watching.

[@brendalehman1950]

Great video! You have such a lovely family. It was so sweet to see you taking a "picnic" to your mom. You are so lucky to have her. It sounds like a perfect Mother's Day weekend ❤

[@acountrylife]

She really enjoyed seeing her older grandchildren, which she doesn't see all that often.

[@MeloyKimberly]

Thanks so much for sharing. I hope you, your mom, and Emily had a wonderful Mother’s Day!

[@acountrylife]

Thanks Kimberly. We had a nice day.

[@whittimom5280]

Happy Mothers Day to you as well. Looked like a wonderful day 😊

[@acountrylife]

Thanks so much.

[@kristenschnese6980]

I find it a little amusing that Maria who is a little bit of a picky eater loves Caesar salad that is usually an acquired taste taste lol sounds like you had a Wonderful Mother’s Day . I hope you were spared from the storms last night they went north to kaukauna and south to Oshkosh this Brats looked so good so did the steak

[@acountrylife]

We had some branches down, but nothing that caused any damage. I hope you all were safe as well.

[@kristenschnese6980]

@@acountrylife yes just leaves down I was sort of relieved I don’t like those strong storms I don’t think anyone dies though

[@stacyjoyner1899]

Happy Mother's day to you belated ❤🎉

Hi Becky.

[@Bex-rg8pj]

I have been thinking of potato salad all day. Guess I’ll get some going after your video!

[@acountrylife]

Every day is a good day for potato salad!! 🥔

[@caralyn-ca-5016]

Duncan Hines dark chocolate fudge variety is the bomb. It stands out from all cake mixes!!! Not kidding! Please try it. 🫡
