Costumes Two Days in a Row Because We're Catholic | Banana Bread | Texas Rye Bread | Lasagna

[@tkomperda66]

As polish Catholic we celebrate All Saints and All Souls Day. We go to church and cemeteries, leave flowers and light candles on graves of loved ones. Like watching your family and your cooking Best wishes from Polska 🇵🇱

[@isabelpimentel1415]

I aslo follow Catholic morning prayers and do my Rosary. It's a my peaceful good way to start of my day. Also, Jennifer, I find that people who choose to become catholic, because of choosing to learn the faith, make best Catholics. I know a few people that converted and it's beautiful to see how rich they are living their faith. Some, put born into the catholic faith to shame. God bless you and your family always.

Joe makes me smile 😊

[@karenchakey]

Great to see the kids on trick or treat night, God bless everyone ❤

[@RachelleMaiorana]

Enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing

[@acountrylife]

Thanks for watching!

[@lanagraham1661]

Hi Jennifer, great vlog! I love that your kids appreciate a quarter. That is so refreshing. I love how they sort their candy, too. Glad y'all had fun. That food spread looked delicious!😋

[@Bex-rg8pj]

The kids looked great in their costumes ❤

[@debgordon6542]

Jen, you have become quite the Accomplised YT Editor! Loved everything about this video.❤ The religious functions that you attend bring back great memories. For a few yrs I was the only Protestant teacher at a Catholic k-12 School. I was the Computer Teacher but learned much more than I taught. I respect and enjoyed the traditions of Catholicism. My first Ash Wednesday was a hoot!!

[@acountrylife]

Thank you Deb! I really do love the editing process; it's a fun creative outlet. I grew up Protestant, but had a ton of Catholic friends and remember going to Mass with them at sleepovers and really enjoying it.

[@debgordon6542]

@acountrylife At one point, my three best friends were Nuns 💕

[@judyhead6602]

Kids are dressed cute for Halloween. Thanks for the video, Jennifer.

[@acountrylife]

I think so too! They always create a fun costume.

[@rubytaylor4566]

Awesome! The children nice in their Costumes with lots of happy smiles! Everything you cooked looked sosososo delicious. WOW! Lots of candy 🍬 Thanks for sharing. 😊❤🙏 Ms. Ruby

[@acountrylife]

Good evening Ms. Ruby! I hope you're having a wonderful day.

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jennifer and sweet family! The kids looked great in their costumes. Your banana bread I bet was delicious. Yum, focaccia bread, it’s so good with sun dried tomatoes on it and used as sandwich bread. Now your lasagna is making me want some. I think I have one in my freezer and some garlic knots that I can have this week. I do enjoy the fellowship and sharing food at church with my sisters and brothers in Christ. Sometimes we cook a spaghetti supper for everyone with salad and garlic bread. I hope everyone has a very blessed week!

That Maria is the loveliest young lady.

[@juttakasapis6408]

Everyone and everything looked awesome 👍😊. You know it's cold when Joe says he's it's 🥶 cold 😊❤

[@acountrylife]

You got that right!

[@CindyKinney]

Hi Jennifer. I haven't been to a potluck in years, but I used to love them. So many wonderful dishes to choose from.

[@acountrylife]

I love potlucks because I always like to try different casseroles and salads.

[@bumblebee7922]

Such a FUN video! Love all the things you cooked and baked. Nice pot luck! I just love watching your cute videos. Blessings...

[@acountrylife]

Thank you so much!

[@MargaretUIUC]

Did you teach your kids all about taxes? (I think the Halloween candy tax is 10%, payable to Mom and Dad.)

[@acountrylife]

Oh yes, even their older siblings stop over and tell them they have to pay their sibling tax. It's quite a thing around here.

[@JeanneBrown949]

We just made a double batch of your Sunday School Banana bread yesterday. I love it spread with butter/margarine.

[@christieflesch3750]

I wasn’t first tonight, but I always look forward to your videos and I was wondering if I had missed one❤❤❤❤❤

[@acountrylife]

It's been a little bit; the fall leading to holiday activities are really amping up right now. I hope you're having a great evening.

[@christieflesch3750]

@@acountrylife Thanks you too. I love watching your family. I’m not doing anything this year. I am choosing to not be around my family but I love watching yours.

[@TeresaRaab-hb5co]

Wow, great candy hauls! We were hunting in Minnesota last week. Took some time to drive to Watertown SD to the Terry Redlin museum. It's wonderful. In the Lutheran church we celebrate Saints Sunday.

[@cathydecarles7084]

Hi Jennifer. Costumes were great-everyone made a good haul. Enjoyed this video very much. Hugs.

[@acountrylife]

Thank you so much!

[@patriciakoester1580]

Awesome Video Jennifer ♥️ Patricia (Daniel) (IN)

[@acountrylife]

Thank you so much!

[@Bnsmimi]

I really enjoyed seeing the kids trick or treating and separating all of their candy. I remember we used to have to give my dad first pick.😊 I imagine that the people at your church must really love all of the delicious food you bring! It looked like a great potluck.❤

[@acountrylife]

Kids pay their candy tax here too. 😂

[@janicehaney1771]

I'm so glad to see parents to still take their children trick-or-treating... I'm 53, and we absolutely loved it, and my brother, and I would come home, and do exactly as your kids...Pour it out, and see what all we got! TFS, and bringing back the fun memories Jennifer...🤗👍❤️

[@acountrylife]

Oh yes, such good memories. I remember playing trick or treat with my cousins after coming home and sorting out the candy we didn't like. We'd go in a bedroom and wait for a knock and then hand out the candy to each other. It was a blast.

[@kelliconlan8133]

Did a Coach Angle after watching your video. I liked her style. Thanks for the recommendations.

[@acountrylife]

This morning I did her newest one...strength training. It was good; I used 5 pound weights for all the exercises.

[@kellyschaefer5735]

Great video. Yummy recipes...as always. You may need a new broom. 😄

[@JanetLavoie]

I did not have any kids trick or treating. Around here, they all go either a party or " trunk or treating " ...but I miss having the kids come to the house. You can spray your rag with window cleaner then ashes and rub on the glass and it will clean it...takes a bit of elbow grease but works well. That's what I do!

[@acountrylife]

Great tip!!

[@amandawells35]

Amazingly, our kids were able to wear short sleeved shirts on Halloween in sunny, 75° weather for the first time in what seems like forever!! Usually, there is at least rain, but more often than not, it's sleet and/or snow. Their costumes are covered by coats, scarves, hats, and gloves. I'm wishing that our parish did something festive for All Saints day. The potluck looked wonderful! St. Juan Diego, Mother Mary, and St. Francis of Assisi?

[@thesarabrown]

Can’t believe Joe was saying he’s Cold! He’s usually marching around in shorts 😂

[@acountrylife]

Right?! 😃

[@kittyrichards9915]

I bought fresh cranberries a few days ago. Do they need to be frozen now for use at Thanksgiving?

[@acountrylife]

If you plan on cooking with them they can be frozen now. If you keep them chilled and there aren’t an soft berries then they will be ok until Thanksgiving.

[@anaserra1666]

Oooh my good, this year i stopped watching youtube, so i haven't seen one of your videos in a long time, your youngest kids have grown up a lot, they're huge 😂 Good luck to everyone, a hug from Portugal 😊🇵🇹

[@acountrylife]

Welcome back!

[@lorimapletree5284]

Do we have... San Juan Diego, St. John the Baptist, and, I'm probably off on this one, St. Mary Magdalene? Love your channel so much!

[@acountrylife]

Very good-you got the boys correct. Maria was Our Lady of Champion, which was an apparition right here in WI near Green Bay.

[@mollysmith6055]

Aw, this brings back memories of when my daughter enjoyed dressing up for our military parish's Harvest Party at around age 6 or 7. She'd seen a live production of 'The Sound of Music' and her costume choice was a nun (duh!); she was the hit of the party, lol. It was super cold that year for trick or treating but at least not as bad as the year before when it was below zero with winds! Tell Joe that those conditions are really bad for Trick or Treating! LOL...military family housing had great candy opportunities back then and she knew not to miss out! We have many photos to remember those holidays. Sadly, she left the True Catholic Faith but thankfully is still a Christian wife and mom and I'm proud of her (but still praying for her to return to the True Church). With so many demonic incursions into our society I don't bemoan that my grandkids don't 'trick or treat'. They get to dress in costumes for their private school and church Harvest Parties. I'm sad their religious upbringing does not explain the struggles, sacrifices and victories of past saints but at least their education is biblically-based and 'classical'. I've been yearly stunned by the grandkid's 'classical' Christian school programs. They showcase amazing memorization of facts, poems, literature and Bible verses. There are far too many bad influences on our young folks and if it means having to sacrifice a bit of what we remember of our prior traditions, so be it. I carefully work in good theology where I can with the grands but, unfortunately, I'm no CCD teacher and in fact didn't even have a proper, full Catholic upbringing myself, being a product of a half-Catholic/half-pseudo Methodist home. That is probably why my daughter and son both fell prey to forces that took then away from the True Faith. That will forever be a failing I'll repent for and beg forgiveness.

[@TeresaRaab-hb5co]

Love that 10x15 dish. I've never seen one bigger than 9x13.

[@acountrylife]

I love it and now Amazon has a lid for the 10x15 dish.

[@janesecaraway3995]

That food spread at church looked delicious and reminded me of when I used to go to covered dish dinners at church as a teenager. Always plenty and delicious!! ❤😊

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

Unless the pink candy bar has happy valentines day it's actually pink for breast cancer awareness month which is Oct

[@acountrylife]

Could be!!

[@lindacusick1156]

You substitute flax meal mixed with water for a egg. Look it up.

[@barbaramiller9660]

Your videos are so beautiful side note I can’t eat a whole loaf of toasted jewish rye bread

[@acountrylife]

Thank you 😊

[@barbarawilliams67685]

I need to check out Catholic Minute! I pray the Rosary every day with Kristin's Krosses (sp?)

[@barbarawilliams67685]

It is Kristin's Crosses. I couldn't remember if the spelled Crosses with a C or K. I should have known it would be a C.

[@isabelpimentel1415]

St. John the Baptist for Peter. Not to sure for Maria, looked like Mary. But for Joe, not to sure. Sorry Joe.

[@dmdohse55]

[@loriketring345]

First. Enjoyed the video Jennifer. Thanks for sharing and take care. Thumbs up.

[@acountrylife]

Hi Lori!!

[@dorieann1]

When you’re making focaccia bread I have to ask why you don’t use your fingers for the dimples and you don’t use alot of oil. Which is the whole look of the bread. It just kinda looked dry. And this is not being mean I’m sorry I’m Italian.

[@marykoufalis7666]

No apology necessary. All you're trying to do is share how it's made authentically.

[@cathydecarles7084]

Hi Jennifer I love our Catholic Prayers also And Catholic Bible verses and All the Saints.The Children look so adorable 🥰🥰🥰🫂🫂🫂🌹💐🍀❤️💜💙💗💕♥️🎃🎃🎃🎃Cathy 🫂🥰♥️💕💗💙💐🍀❤️💜🌹🍯🍕🫒🍀💐
