1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)

In mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in next 4 ingredients. Add 2 cups flour and beat until smooth. Work in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. Place greased side up in greased bowl; cover tightly. Refrigerate overnight or up to 4 or 5 days.

Hi friends! I'm Jennifer, a forty-something wife and mother of 7 children ages 7 - 23. 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.

I could eat that whole pan of Carmel rolls yummy. I'm 56 and a Grandma.

[@debgordon6542]

Wow the pecan caramel rolls looked scrumptious!! Warren was so thoughtful to take that broken piece so it didn't have to sit there all alone. He's always doing nice things like that lol. Great vlog

[@LifeWithMrsB]

All your hard work and waiting for these caramel rolls was worth it :) glad Warren enjoyed them!

[@melissabibby7310]

Great Video! Tree looks pretty, real old fashion! 👍❤️🎄

[@lizarce272]

Jennifer, you Know that making Warrens childhood dishes is a connection to his memories of his children and mother. When you lose a parent, everything means more. On the pepper flakes, do you have a Mexican spice section in your stores? They have full dried red chiles.

[@cathydecarles7084]

Jennifer the rolls look delicious you are a great cook and baker

[@MeloyKimberly]

Commenting just as I begin watching… but I wanted you to know how much I look forward to your videos. As a homeschooling mom of 2, struggling to a balance everything, you’re a huge inspiration to me and I thank you so much for sharing your life with us! With warm wishes for wonderful, happy and healthy New Year, Kimberly from Philadelphia ♥️

[@acountrylife]

I hope you're enjoying a Christmas break from homeschooling. It always rejuvenates me and makes the new year start out great.

[@annafyfe8361]

Love the real tree! Joe is so sweet with the kitty! And its so nice to see a little girl being a little girl and playing with Dollys!!! You have a beautiful family and family life!!!

[@carolynsinyard1306]

What delicious looking pecan rolls. I really enjoyed walking in the snow with you and Joe this morning. Thank you for sharing your day with us.

[@charlenethomas4239]

Your pecan rolls looked so good. They looked light and fluffy

[@heatherlavender8236]

I always have some turkey or chicken for my youngest because some kind of meats he does not like and I like him to have some meat so it's been a nice idea for anyone who has kids that are finicky it's a great idea to have options especially when it is a protein dish. He doesn't like a lot of beef types of meat my other kids didn't like meat till later so maybe he is the same way. At least he loves vegetables even lettuce so I am grateful for that! Thanks for sharing you're thoughts and life I love all you do and keep up the great work!

[@s.belton8447]

Prayerfully one day in this lifetime I’ll get to see real snow in person. Love your videos especially when it’s winter.

[@karensalcido714]

You look amazing ! Thank you for always sharing

[@juliewright1895]

I totally agree with the neutral snow gear!! I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than five dollars for snow pants or snow bibs for my kids because I find them off-season at thrift and consignment stores and at garage sales. I usually pay between $.50 and two dollars a pair!! I always seem to find blue and black but my girls don’t mind because they’re warm in the winter! LOL! Now my grandsons are getting to wear the blue and black ones that my girls wore. :)

[@karenkissick6884]

How sweet little sis reading to big brother...0h my ❤

I just received my cookbook! Yay! I'm SO excited!! I have some Wisconsin in my Texas home!! Can't wait to try out some recipes! Thank you Jennifer!

[@joanwalker4199]

JoAnn I also just got my cookbook and I love it . she done a lovely job putting it together and so well made . I also will have some Wisconsin in my Mississippi Kitchen .. I can't wait to start cooking with it .

[@robins5880]

Love being allowed to spend time with your beautiful family! Brings back so many great memories of when we homeschooled. For us I found that I had to set aside time for homeschooling or it became too pieced together. We did three hours every morning, allowing myself and the kids time for chores first, and made no appointments etc during that time. It was so much easier to find time to finish things later in the day once we had a good start in the morning, and thankfully all of our co-op classes were in the afternoons. Thank you for showing how it can be done differently, that’s the beauty of homeschooling. Blessings for the new year!

[@stevenpaultann25]

Ooh, Jennifer the caramel rolls look scrumptious! Warren was eating them and I could taste them😂💖

[@HarborHon1]

Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Prosperous New Year, to A Country Life Family. God Bless. Love you all! xxoo

[@abbysmith2754]

Thank you so much for all the love, grace, and work you put into your videos! You are a wonderful companion during my normal day to day activities, but especially so when I am feeling under the weather and taking a day to recover. (I have the greatest husband who is taking care of the kids and home!) I recently received your cookbook and have read it cover to cover. I cannot wait to feel better to get cooking! Edited to add: I am so impressed that you wear a white sweater while cooking/baking! I would have that ruined quick as a wink! Wishing you blessings in the new year! Smiles, Abby Smith

[@acountrylife]

I pray you recover quickly and get to enjoy some time in the kitchen again.

39 years ago when i was pregnant i wanted a caremel pecan roll everyday. The bakery at the grocery store had good ones. I hate to think how many i ate during those 9 months. Cant say i have had any since she was born. yours looked yummy

[@peterrenzi4674]

Hi Jennifer it's fiorella from Toronto I just want to see what an amazing beautiful woman you are you have a beautiful family your children are beautiful and handsome and I love the way you cook my son is a hunter and my husband is a hunter and I watch the way you use your deer meat and I do the same thing and watching your morning routine and the foundation that you use I actually went to go buy it because the reviews were so high and it's a very good foundation and the tip that you gave about wearing a light color on your eye and putting the eyeliner that opens up your eye that is so true thank you so much for sharing that God bless you and your family ❤️

[@acountrylife]

You incorporating my tips into your day is the best part of KZbin. I love learning from great tips from my KZbin friends, too.

[@sheilaperl4155]

Oooooo, those caramel rolls look fabulous! What beautiful property you live on, all the trees and the snow, gorgeous!

[@dianamiller5583]

Those rolls look amazing! A good way to help yeast bread/rolls to rise when the house is a little cool is to place them in the oven and turn on the light. The heat from that light in the small space is just about ideal.

[@juliewright1895]

We live about an hour away from a military base on the West Coast. We see so many military planes and helicopters! We often see five Chinook helicopters flying in formation! That is quite a sight and sound and sometimes they’re so close that you can see the people in the helicopter! The whole house shakes!

You look very pretty in Christmassy with your sweater and your scarf on and lipstick

[@christinewoodall2702]

Sugar is black! Lol Carmel rolls look wonderful! I would have put some of that frosting on those too! Our entire family had gotten Covid on Thanksgiving and having a late Christmas. I am just getting up my tree (like your daughter’s) today and celebrating in January. Panda Express is in Wausau? Love Chinese! The pine cones give some natural decorations! ❤️ I live in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and am very familiar with the cranberry marshes as we have friends that run a marsh in 3 Lakes. As I watch your videos I can see we do some very similar things! Maybe it’s growing up in Wisconsin and our parents did and taught us some very similar things! Enjoy watching your family grow and Joe has very special place in my heart! I’m a grandma of 3. One 3 year old boy and 1 year old twin girls! They have stolen my heart ❤️ My daughter is now pregnant with #4 grand baby! She will have 4 children under the age of 3 by April! I’m excited! Glad to have watched your channel for a couple years now! You have a great family and enjoy your country life! Blessings to you and yours! I’m almost 60 so I have a few years on you! Your a busy MaMa!

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Yay! A video from you, showing your beautiful tree! Those caramel rolls looked delicious! So did the oriental food! Wow! You’re like super mom and your husband is like Super dad! Of, joe, go! Direct away! How fun! I hope y’all had a wonderful Christmas. I so love your videos. Great advice to new mothers, by the way, of neutral colors for wi Ted clothing. I’m all for be8ng practical, and alway have been. Keep on sharing with us! Thank you Always learn something from your videos.

Sorry for the typos...spellcheck snd I didn’t look.

[@Souperat60]

Hey Jen👋🏼 I have to say those cinnamon rolls came out beautiful! I think Warren really liked them🤣. I love that Joe was lifting weights. Tell him~the old Souper at 60 lady needs to join him~he’s my inspiration 👍🏻. I’m just sitting here now looking thru your cookbook at the English Muffins. I love them homemade. Lord bless, Darlene

[@acountrylife]

Hi Darlene, I want to first tell you how beautiful "The First Noel" song was. Seeing you play with your son inspired me to pull out my violin (Sam uses it now) and Warren and I played a few Christmas carols together for my mom. He plays the guitar. We're bracing for an afternoon snowstorm and gathering a pile of books to read under a pile of blankets. I've found my first recipe for our collab and I'm looking forward to it.

[@Souperat60]

Oh I’m so happy. That made me cry. Your dear sweet mom. I love when she’s on your videos. I’m certain she just loved your music. Yes, I’m very excited as well about the collaboration. Did you give me a date? Hope you made it thru the snow today. Maybe it’s still snowing?!?! I wish we’d get some here. Lord bless, Darlene

[@ericahansen4893]

The taste of something from your childhood always warms my soul Brown sugar in Chinese sauces is very common...maybe that would of helped? Merry Christmas Jennifer and to the family ❤

[@tammifields4142]

Such good advice about the baby clothes. Pecan rolls look fab.

[@mitzimoran8690]

I’m glad you include food that you wouldn’t cook again!!!

[@andreacrooks6313]

Yum! Those caramel pecan rolls looks so delicious!!

[@tonitonitonilake2744]

Hi! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! I was so excited to get your cookbook before Christmas! We made your 50 cent pieces and they were a huge hit! For your sauce, it probably meant sweet chili sauce in the Asian aisle, not our american chili sauce. That probably would have offset the sharpness from the vinegar and balanced it. I love Chinese food, we cook it frequently :) I hope you try again! It is so easy to do and so much cheaper than getting to-go for large families. ❤

[@acountrylife]

That’s a great tip. I’ll have to look for that kind of chili sauce at the store. Do you have any favorite recipes you can share or link to?

[@tonitonitonilake2744]

@@acountrylife Absolutely! I'll get you some links. My favorites are walnut shrimp (either sauteed or deep fried) and almond chicken. Some places call it boneless chicken. :)

as a 23 year old mom and wife buying as much neutral clothing as you can has been the best advice! they grow so quickly they wear nothing out especially winter clothes here in Middle TN!

😂I totally get what you were explaining about homeschool "routines". I finally got it through my thick head about 3 years into homeschooling that there is no such thing as a set routine. Sickness, appointments, as you said one kid doing math another deep into history, oh yikes! Now it's time to get lunch going, how about let's read after lunch kids? Oh? Yes, I did forget you need to work on your co-op science project. Tell you what, let's do reading real quick, it'll only take about 45 mins, then you can work on science the rest of the afternoon! Yes, it was constantly thinking on my feet, but boy do I miss it!❤

Hi Jennifer, to proof your pecan rolls, put them in the oven ONLY with its light on, put the rack on top and put the rolls near the light. It should take about 1 hour, then put the rack in the middle, turn the oven on and leave rolls in while it preheat. IT will proof more. Hope this helps.

Next time you need to get something to rise and it's too cold ,run your dryer for a few minutes and put your food in there.

[@megg.8084]

next time you try to make an asian style dish try the thai sweet chili sauce in place of the regular chili sauce- it gives just a smidge of heat but also gives that sweetness you are missing

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

Why wouldn't you make the Kung po beef again? Your family obviously enjoyed it. Just because you didn't like it is no reason not to make it for your family again. Do what I do, if I make something either I or someone else doesn't like I make either leftovers or something else.
