Hi friends! I'm Jennifer, a forty-something wife and mother of 7 children ages 8 - 24. 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.

This is Iran and now it is 2.5 o'clock at night. I woke up to the love of your channel 💚💚💚

[@karinjudge7277]

The bread made me think of my Mama. Always had homemade bread which was really good. We needed it homemade for 11 of us ! My mom accidently sent the bag of bread with my brother to work. Instead of the sandwhiches she made. The bags got switched. I'm sure he was glad for the food. Lol We drank powdered milk. Wasnt too bad if cold, but warm and bubbly was gross. Lol That was over 50 yrs ago. But still funny :)

[@reneemorlan1855]

I use powdered milk/dry milk every opportunity I can , saves on store bought milk ❤️

[@thewoodenspoon9679]

Jennifer the muffins are all beautiful! My goodness they look delicious! You make baking look so easy. I always get great ideas from watching you! Your kitchen is a magical place.

[@karenchakey]

Hi Jen that bread looked so dilish, happy birthday Nick

[@sammer1208]

All your cooking videos have really inspired me to step out of my comfort zone. I’ve said this before but you are my favorite channel on KZbin! ❤️

[@kathysparks6338]

Oh how yummy! Thank you for sharing your recipes and time to give helpful hints, hope everyone is doing well, Happy birthday to Nick, please thank him for his service, God bless 🙏❤️

[@lanagraham1661]

I love watching you bake goodies. I don't do much baking - mostly pies (not homemade pie crusts) and easy cobblers. I was recently baking some cookies, just from the refrigerated cookie mix that is already divided in the cookie dough pieces. I did find myself thinking now how long would Jennifer cook these as opposed to the instructions on the packaging.😂 Even though I don't really bake, I find myself soaking all of your little tips and tricks. I love learning new things. You really are amazing, Jennifer.

[@audrahcoleman0224]

Yep I agree definitely love the more frequent postings lately

[@cathylarkin5664]

I do ice my brownies and my daughter-in-law is like you, Jennifer, and feels that when they are eaten cold they are a cut above room temperature. One time when my son and daughter were young, I was in a rush and iced the brownies while they were hot. The frosting melted of course and the top glazed, thereby making it easier to transport them and also sealing in the moisture (they are already moist as they call for oil instead of butter) so...I have done this ever since.😋👍 I have used powdered milk often over the years and sometimes add the powder to the dry ingredients (1/4 to 1/3 cup of powder for each cup of milk required). Then I replace the liquid amount of milk with water. This is more economical and the dry powder is shelf stable.

[@daveschofield7624]

Hi, I have found that making up the dried milk the day or night before works best, it seems to emulsify and thicken and then tastes just like fresh milk. I use my jumbo muffin pans to make lunch box bacon and egg pie. spray the pan, line with some pastry add in cooked bacon and a whole egg, salt and pepper top with a little cheese and bake.

Love your videos & family. How do you stay energized? I just turn on my TV & watch Jennifer videos as I do other stuff here. 😁

[@jojo-tz2ym]

Untill i was age 10, powdered milk is all we used. Mom bought chocolate so we would drink it. Mom used it in all her baking and cooking and she was a great cook.

[@rhondasyberg2498]

I made the epic brownies this afternoon. Very good even without the vanilla that I remembered AFTER they were baked and cooling. 😅

[@chrisquastad7104]

I love, love your frequent posts lately!! It makes my day!! Have a great weekend, real cold here again this weekend in Iowa. 🥶

[@merediths.6955]

You can bake with dried milk; especially bread. It is supposed to make the bread more flavorful and tender as well as making it rise better.

[@user-nq6mf2gu7z]

Powered milk was all I had during the first lock down. I used it all the time to make bread as there was no more bakeries where I live. They were open until they had no more flour! A tiny box of powdered milk goes a long way . But I have to admit it, I never bought it again since . Cheers nick! Hope you all enjoyed those muffins

[@susieQ666]

as soon as pay day comes im getting your cook book ...n ive found a love for baking bread all thanks to john kirkwood ....💛💜

[@mamofoneteen5178]

I find in my family the older you get the more you like the crusty, crunchy top on the loaf! I make bread for my parents every week too, they are both in their early 70’s and my dad actually called me last night with a bread report: ‘oh the crust, it was so good’. He always steals the end of the bread🤣😂

[@acountrylife]

That’s my husband, too.

You can always just use ap flour if you use vital wheat gluten. Very inexpensive and you only need to stock ap flour. Win-win!

[@thevikmanstorpkitchen.403]

That muffins looked super good. I LOVE MUFFINS.😀🤭I made some raspberrie muffins with cpconut in my video today for valentinesday. My daughter Alice is turning 11 on that day( tomorow) . So we made alot of treats and add it too a video. 💕😃

I bought dry cream during shutdown. Kinda pricey, but it only takes a smidgen.

Saw where a woman mixes her bread and AP flour to extend her Bread flour. I may try that.

I believe that’s Darlene from @Souperat60

[@mgdee8286]

So excited to know you’re doing another cookbook!!! I can’t wait!!❤️❤️

[@lindacusick1156]

I use dry milk all the time. Sometimes I don’t even mix the water and powder together first just add both to recipe. My powder milk low fat 1 T to 1/3 water, whole milk 1 T to quarter cup water. Because I use lactose milk to drink for my husband and it’s expensive half gallon

[@eileenkillen1481]

I am definitely making your honey bread recipe, it looked delicious. Tfs busy Momma ❤ 🇮🇪

[@marieb1260]

Great tip about not over mixing muffin batter. I wondered why my last batch came out with domed tops!

[@mariainmaryland9829]

I will make your choco chip cookies today (again😊). They are so good. Thank you for sharing the recipe and thank you for the inspiration and motivation.

[@mollysmith6055]

Hi Jennifer, thank you for another vlog and showing your yummy baking. I'd probably use my sifter more often but it is the style where you squeeze the handle...yours looks easier on the hands. I tried a jumbo muffin pan too and ended up donating it, we needed the smaller portions haha. Thank you for the reminder about your bread recipe, I forgot to buy bread today so it is the perfect time to try it and for fun I'll use my Pullman pan. Your loaf was beautiful and surprise...there was your Salisbury Steak!

[@fleshhunter100]

Yes you can use powdered milk in any thing you use regular milk

Hi Jennifer! Always love when I can visit the Brockmans. Happy Birthday Nick! I think I will try making the Honey Whole Wheat Bread. Haven't used my bread machine in ages (hope it still works LOL)! From watching you, I have learned that I do not need the prepackaged bread mixes to make bread in the machine. Hugs and blessings.

[@lavarball4509]

Try cutting brownies with a plastic takeout knife. No sticking

[@patriciasweet9102]

Good morning from very nippy N AR. Love seeing the kids pop in and out. Your baking lists sounds so good. I wonder if you just put the powdered milk in with the dry ingredients like you do in bread recipes if it would make a difference. Being in the kitchen with you is so relaxing and gets me motivated. Thanks for all that you share and explain. Have a great weekend.

[@acountrylife]

I thought about adding the dry milk like that. Maybe next time.

Just follow the instructions that came with your machine. Be sure to add the ingredients in the order that it says. (That can vary from one machine to another.) There are no tricks to it; the machine just does it.

[@Dindasayswhynot]

Hi!! I'm being silly. Never manage to click to watch when the notification clicks in, but I literally sat down for a break from making Amber Marmalade as it came on screen, so ... here I am. Some of my marmalade on your brownies would be delicious.

I'm sorry but your blueberry muffins look delicious. I use $1.00 package. Martha brand. But I rather eat yours.

[@janetennis3451]

Yes. Powdered milk/water will be the same. My mother used to do that. Saved fresh milk to drink and powdered milk for baking, cooking. Good, old trick.

[@dawnmontoya4444]

My gma always used dry milk. The blueberries may have made the difference in tenderness instead of fresh milk vs dry milk. Maybe compare same type muffins. However if it had sugar we didn't care much 😆 we ate it up.

not as cute as Joe.
