Deer Hunting Season Continues as we Prepare for Thanksgiving

[@laurarochester3054]

Thank you for not editing out the turkey spatchcocking. It was hilarious!

[@acountrylife]

I’m glad you got a kick out of it!

[@jackistemper1419]

I was exhausted just from cheering you & Peter man handling that bird ....so glad he was in the house to help ! I felt like I was watching a surgery of sorts !!! GREAT VIDEO ...Thanks!!

[@lynnethebeautifulone4145]

You and Peter man handling that turkey was hilarious . Haha

[@sandiruch6593]

You are the most patient woman I have ever seen!!! You’re amazing!!’

[@donnaherron3643]

Thank you for being so honest and sharing the times in your life when “ i just didn’t do it”, happens. That’s real life. We accomplish a lot but we also have things that go wrong. It’s refreshing to hear real life vlogs too.

[@trishpolk640]

I loved that you stopped what you were doing and went out with Joe. Good mama❤

[@mom2LandM]

Our oven decided it did not want to cook a turkey this year so we had to scramble to find one. Got it set up the day before hosting 8 people! I haven’t done the sleeve thing with the mixer yet but made a mess earlier mixing dough for pizza when I dropped the measuring cup in the mixer while it was going. Thank you for not hiding the struggles! I think that’s what makes people love watching you because we struggle too!

[@sshunter66]

I literally was laughing out loud at the part where Peter said I walk in to mom stabbing the turkey. I’m still laughing as I’m typing this comment. So hilarious. 😂 This made my morning! Thanks

[@christieflesch3750]

I love a very long video❤❤❤❤❤

[@maryannwagner6192]

I guess I'm extremely lucky I've been using my electric Fridgadair stove for over 30 years. My in-laws had theirs for over 50 years. Great brand

[@lisablackman2168]

I was so happy to see your video was over an hour and 27 minutes. What a fun video and thanks for keeping the hacking of the poor turkey in the video. I could not stop laughing and my daughter heard something about a turkey and a hammer and was like mommy thats so wrong but so funny. She was on the floor laughing. Thanks for sharing

[@jamesbrown8718]

lol that floor went everywhere!! But it happens, especially when you need another cleaning job to do lol. I truly enjoyed your video today as I do every time you post a new video. I enjoyed the extra long video today. You are probably one of the best KZbinrs out there. Your videos are always great, and you let us not just see all the good things but also all the mistakes or slip ups. I enjoy seeing Joe on your videos he is always so happy.

[@acountrylife]

I found flour for days in the nooks and crannies. Thanks- I appreciate your kindness.

[@joanfels6641]

After all the problems with the turkey, the pan looks to be a perfect size! Joe looks so handsome!

[@anna27446]

These are the times I miss the most. Your Thanksgiving looked perfect, family, friends and laughter….and of course-GREAT FOOD. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Jennifer. ♥️

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning all happy Monday morning to all of you guys and I hope you having amazing day and you are amazing supporter Jennifer

[@kathyyoung7517]

Thanks for wrestling that turkey! 😂 Super fun watching you and Peter work together. What great memories you created with your friends and family❤

[@acountrylife]

We had fun; don't think the turkey did!!

[@michelinecrouch8682]

I am literally LOL watching y’all with that bird! Thanks for ensuring that I will Never try that!

[@kayemoore]

With the X3 there isn’t any to bake without crust for the kids to fight over who gets it this year lol. THANK YOU for sharing your beautiful REAL life with us! 💜

[@debgordon6542]

Jennifer vs The Turkey Results: Turkey tenderized & cooked to perfection. Jen for the Win 😂❤

[@jacquieconley4897]

Oh my...the turkey fiasco. Great help Peter! Thanks for the laughs.

[@debgordon6542]

Peter saying, "we can edit this part out" lol😂

[@jenniferwooley673]

The Libby pumpkin pie recipe is the best. Tried and true for years.

[@KimFego-pn2yt]

You two beat that crap out of that turkey 😂😂😂 I did that once and it was so hard and messy! Omg. Not a hammer!!

[@journeyofamidwestquilter]

I love your pie crust recipe! 🥧 It's the one I use anytime I want to make a pie. WOW, you and Peter really got a workout from messing around with that turkey! I knew when I heard you say you were going to spatchcock it that it would be a chore for sure! It looked so delicious! I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!

[@acountrylife]

We were glad it was tasty for all the work.

[@CindyKinney]

Hi Jennifer. Your hair looked so beautiful. Congratulations to all the hunters who got deer. Your Thanksgiving spread looked amazing.

[@conniejones4436]

I was never good at pie crust(70 yrs young) when I started making your crust. I didn’t have any lard at the time; so subbed butter and crisco with good results. I now use lard. I’ll never try another crust recipe. I’m teaching my granddaughter to make your chicken pot pie from your cookbook. Blessings and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@vickihill4777]

My husband took up pie making several years ago and he could do a pie edge that looked like it should be in a contest. My favorite pie he made was a blueberry nectarine. It was so much more delicious than it sounds.

[@lakishamitchusson6368]

🥧 I’m not great at homemade pie crust yet but your recipe is the only I use now. Very tasty and turns out the best for me. I am so glad to have your cookbooks! ❤

[@beckymiller2185]

What did you do with the scraps of dough? I always lay them flat and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake them . Yummy

[@jolenepulse1949]

Love your videos! Those flour messes happen…..one time my grandson and I were making banana bread….he turned the mixer on high…flour everywhere! We still laugh about it and remember it as a “flour shower”

[@susiescofield490]

Oh my goodness. I can’t believe the spatchcocking of the turkey. I think they are usually smaller. Looks like y’all had a fun day.

[@acountrylife]

It was a little bigger than the ones I’d seen done.

[@Bebs28]

Why did I smile back at you and Warren when you leaned in and smiled in the deer stand? 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

[@lendane8517]

Couples hunting together...so cute...I do know that Amy would never join me in the hunting hut...LOL

[@annateague2354]

That’s how my son in law did our turkey this year, he did a dry brining then he spatchcocked it then he smoked it it was amazing.

[@debgordon6542]

Smart Move, Jen! We 'dial down' the sugar in that same swt potato casserole recipe. I say 'we' but I really mean Rachel lol. We each make our specialities. You know what they say, many hands make for a big mess 😂jk. Your pie crust is the one I want to try ❤ Loved the Hunting Date and according to my sourçes, yes deer are attracted to the sent of grilled cheese... well the dear Gordon Girls are anyway lol. Such an awesome Parade & Thanksgiving Day. We are thankful for you, your family and your channel ❤ btw we both said scalloped edge at the same time😊 I can't imagine 10° brr. Stay warm, my friends 💕

[@shirleyharvey3728]

Libby’s is the best and I always add a little more spices than it calls for,yummy!God bless,Merry Christmas and WFS!!!!!

[@kate31184]

You and Peter preparing that turkey is a core memory in the making!!!!❤️❤️

[@kittyrichards9915]

Hubby and I went to see The Best Christmas Pageant Ever after your video comment. We really enjoyed it. I don't have a kitchen aid. Wonder if your pie crust recipe would still work?

[@melissanunes3219]

I think she has done it by hand in other videos.

[@peterrenzi4674]

Hi Jennifer it's fiorella I made the pie crust for the very first time I made an apple pie it was delicious it was gone have a blessed day ❤️🇨🇦

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Jennifer. You amaze me. I have a hard time keeping it all together when I have 9 people to accommodate-cannot imagine having 23!! You done good--well done. Happy Thanksgiving to the Brockman family. Hugs.

[@acountrylife]

I truly enjoy the craziness of it all.

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jennifer and sweet family! So many wonderful memories and even with the hiccups it is still good memories. Merry Christmas sweet Joe and family. I really enjoyed the grilled cheese sharing with Warren. My double oven is 24 years old and I probably need another oven. I’m just using it till it quits. I have spatchcocked a chicken, but never a turkey. That was exasperating and with it being such a big bird made it harder. Maybe do two smaller turkeys next time. Congratulations Warren and Sparky on your deers! Your turkey looked delicious, the whole meal I’m sure was amazing. Twenty six people is a lot of people to feed. I’m glad everyone had a very blessed Thanksgiving. Your granddaughter was adorable rooting you on. She is so precious. Have a very blessed week everyone!

[@mariezafonte6473]

Jennifer, you and Peter spatchcocking the turkey was too funny. I'm sure they had small turkeys in the videos you watched. My family loves the sweet potato casserole. I triple the recipe and also the topping.It's more of a dessert than a vegetable. I love how real you keep everything. We all have challenges and mishaps when cooking for holidays. But it all turns out fine celebrating with loved ones.

[@annmittelstadt2938]

🦃❤️🥧 love you video Jennifer. What fun this was to watch, from deer stands, flour spins, to tackling a turkey. Next is the Christmas Special. Can't wait to see what goes on. Be well, Be safe, and have fun!

[@debramamula9924]

Jennifer really loved this video. You covered every minute up to Thanksgiving. Good to see you and Warren share a grilled cheese sandwich. But I laughed out loud with you and Peter . It looked delicious 😋/ Family and Friends sharing Thanksgiving is priceless. God bless you all. ♥🦃❄🙏

[@sandrasmith6961]

That is the best sweet potato casserole ever! Family favorite!

[@debralawler-nt9si]

This is what I miss about WI. Holidays where everyone brings a dish to pass...love it

[@thewoodenspoon9679]

Oh my that poor turkey! 😂 I had to look away! The pies are beautiful! I will be trying the pie crust recipe for sure. Your entire dinner was beautiful! ❤️

[@lindalawson300]

My oven has lasted 37 years now with no repairs.😊

[@ssaah59ify]

Ours too, over 25 years, Kenmore product, the best. I just replaced our Kenmore dryer that was older than the oven.

[@juttakasapis6408]

Hi Jennifer and Warren, just started watching, before I forget, hoping you both had a beautiful day yesterday and always 😊❤

[@acountrylife]

Thanks 😊 we had a nice anniversary. Have a great week!

[@RAM-eb2te]

❤❤❤ As a young bride, I talked my mom in law into cooking Christmas dinner at home, and that I'd help. We got the ham ready and put in oven. About an hour later we heard a big bang. After investigating everything seemed ok... but an hour later, we couldn't smell the ham. The noise had been the oven dying and I ended up cutting it into smaller chunks and cooking it on my in-law's charcoal grill in norther Wisconsin. Luckily everything else was already made or in crock pots. 😊

[@vickihill4777]

We love to make two person meatloafs and cook them on our Webber charcoal grill..we make about 6and freeze 5 for later. They are delicious

[@PamFrey-w3o]

Joe is so kind. I’ll do it Mom

[@cindyd8646]

You and Peter spatchcocking was like an "I Love Lucy" episode! Maybe if you want to try this again (fat chance, huh?) get a fresh turkey at the store and have the butcher do the deed. Bless you for trying, though. Everything looks easier on videos. When our kids were babies (40+ years ago) I used to watch PBS shows while they were nursing, and I honestly thought I could make a stained glass window in thirty minutes. Editing is a wonderful thing for anyone making videos; but you know that!

[@otrdean]

Lol...i did the " hook the on switch" with my shirt and created a nice little flour blizzard in the kitchen. Laughing with you. I enjoy your channel.

[@angelarothbauer8096]

Appliances are way too expensive and don’t last as long as they used too- I miss the old days lol

[@lindaholliday4536]

I just always want to make sure there is safty in our home,especially with others using the appliances. Be safe.

[@acountrylife]

Yep, that’s why we got a new one.

[@HammTeach]

Everything looked delicious and so glad deer were getting caught! Hope you show your new kitchen stove in a video soon!

[@teresayb.4457]

🥧 truly the best person pie crust recipe! Pie crust used to always make me swear, but this recipe is so easy to work with and delicious and flakey. I use lard from our homegrown pigs. I figured the weight of lard needed, and it is so much easier to weigh it out than scoop and measure.

[@acountrylife]

I’m glad you got good results with the recipe!

[@cxg7381]

We tried your Cranberry Bar recipe. Oh my, they were delicious! Thank you for sharing that scrumptious recipe👍🎄💕

[@suzannewaite4724]

Loved this video. Thanks for sharing. Joe, Merry Christmas to you too. You looked very handsome in your vest and tie on Thanksgiving. Jennifer, Your children are maturing so quickly and your grandchildren are so precious. Warren, still trying to decide with beard or without beard. It is kind of growing on me. Merry Christmas to you all.

[@acountrylife]

Merry Christmas to you too. 😊

[@Madelinechriston]

Hi Jennifer! I felt so bad for you at the beginning of your video- when everything just seemed to go wrong. Boy, do I know all too well how those days feel! But unlike me, you’re such a trooper. I would have had to stop my filming, say a bunch of choice hmm; hmm; curse words, then resume as if I were fine. I also notice that you sound a little nasal - perhaps from sitting out on Warren’s “lady” potty - but that’s just the mom in me being worried about you. I hope you had a wonderful holiday with the family. I wish I had one of those pies❤ sooo good!

[@violetnighttraveler4127]

Hi, your a hard worker in the kitchen you had me laughing at your comments struggling with the turkey lol..quite enjoyable video. Work safe and polysporin works good on the sore hands. Happy Thanksgiving beautiful family.

[@roisinpatriciagaffney4087]

Hi Jennifer, cant wait to see your new stove 😮 What a lovely Thanksgiving supper with friends, and family. Scrumptious food, and great company. Blessings 🙌 to the Brockmans. ✨️✨️✨️🎅🎄🎄🎅✨️✨️🎅🎄🎅✨️✨️✨️🎅🎄✨️✨️🎅🎄🎅✨️✨️✨️🎅🎄🎄 See you soon 😊

[@acountrylife]

Thank you! 🤗

[@donnastratton8397]

That turkey made me a nervous wreck. I could never do that. Lol. One year our stove stopped working on Thanksgiving day. Fortunately I was able to do all my baking at our church fellowship bldg. 😅

[@karenchakey]

Growing up with a huntet dad we loved grouse and pheasants. Loved the deer stand vudeos. I am definitely trying your pie dough sometime. I have to get the lard. God bless everyone. I think next year i will do that spatchcock, ❤❤

[@Barbara-pz8ky]

Oh my goodness I’m home alone watching the Turkey process laughing out loud. . Peter did you break the breast bone? No it was just the celery 😂. On another note I think Peter will be a chef and a wonderful husband to a lucky young lady some day

[@jenniferbargowski2968]

My family makes grilled cheese breakfast sandwiches with egg and ham. You should try them 😋 Great video!

[@acountrylife]

That sounds like a great way to start the day!

[@sarahlarson1082]

Sorry, but I had to chuckle at you and Peter struggling with the turkey. I had visions of it hitting the floor but thankfully it didn't! Teamwork at it's finest. Looking forward to getting my cookbooks soon.

[@susanedwards9473]

You really man handled that bird! lol😂

[@janesecaraway3995]

Yes Jennifer I am same as you!! U have a libbys label with the pumpkin pie recipe that I follow also! Have tried others and they aren't the same or near as good!! If it ain't broke don't fix it!! ❤😊

[@shirleywarner8831]

Merry Christmas Joe & the family

[@acountrylife]

Thank you, Merry Christmas to you too!

[@debbiemorgan6701]

Merry Christmas Joe!

[@kittyrichards9915]

They alweys make it look so easy on Pinteredt.

[@maryfreese280]

Merry Christmas Joe😊 and family 🎅🤶👼🎄🎄☃️⛄️🐮🧸🦌🧑‍🎄🎁

[@kelliconlan8133]

Have you ever thought of doing a freezer clean-out and organizing video? ("And also use the thing i find in the freezer meals") I know you talked about things falling to the bottom and also having a hard time finding things. I personally love that kind of video.

[@juttakasapis6408]

Beautiful family 💖, awesome video 😍, thank you for sharing your Thanksgiving with us. Trial and error on the turkey 🦃, but how delicious and yummy at the end. I want to try making one like that now 😀. Glad you all got some venison. Appreciate your honesty on everything. You are the best in everything you do, 😘 you and your family. 👍😘😍

[@cathydecarles7084]

Hi Jennifer I love your pie 🥧 crust recipe and filling It looks amazing I always make my own pie crust Love You all Joe is so funny love Him Your Family is all beautiful God bless you all Cathy 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿🙏🏻✝️☮️💐🌹🍀💙♥️

[@robinhatley3167]

So happy u and Warren got to hunt together!❤❤

[@kristenschnese6980]

Happy belated thanksgiving to you and your family. Indeed yo know what kind of oven you ended up getting.. we are going to get a new oven ours is 11 years old having two mother boards replaced by sears and it being fixed once it’s an awesome stove but sears don’t make them anymore . So only 5 that’s not much ? Better than none . I’m learning how to shoot next week. Joe just warms my heart such a loving and caring child well all your kids are that way though .. will have to try your pie crust m not good at making pie crusts at all ..

[@acountrylife]

Thank you Kristin. Warren, Emily, Jaime and Brittany all got deer.

[@amberlovejoy]

Who else is waiting to see what Joe does to the pies this year 😂😂❤❤

[@LauraG_Boston]

cith was amazingI just bought a new stove yesterday from Home Depot! my former stove was seriously old and one day the oven wouldn't turn off (broiler turned itself on, which I didn't turn on). Let's just say that the fire dept in my city was amazing. In any case - i hope you like your new stove!!

[@acountrylife]

Wow, that’s scary. I hope your new stove serves you well.

[@debgordon6542]

OMGosh the same thing happened to mine! So scary. Temp rose to 500° as it started to smoke. Thankfully the oven fuses are separate & I thot to turn them off.

[@shesgotdogs]

That looked stressful! Aww, Warren lacks patience with Joe.

[@cathydecarles7084]

Jennifer are you feeling okay sweet Friend I know it’s very cold outside ?All the food looks so delicious God bless You Cathy🙏🏻✝️☮️📿💐🍀♥️🌹💙🥧💙♥️💐🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🙏🏻✝️☮️📿

[@acountrylife]

Thank you so much!

[@angelarothbauer8096]

Omg - Jen and the turkey serial killer vibes 😂😂😂😂

[@acountrylife]

That’s what I was thinking too.

[@suzannewaite4724]

🥧 crust recipe works great

[@acountrylife]

I'm glad you liked it.

[@shelleydavies1639]

A cleaver is generally used in spatchcocking

[@audrahcoleman0224]

Happy thanksgiving

[@jannie5559]

🥧🥧🥧🥧 love your pie crust❤❤

[@janesecaraway3995]

Soooo.....how did the wild turkey turn out??? And how about that spatchcocked turkey??? Curious George here!! ❤😊

[@kelliconlan8133]

We almost got a new stove this black Friday but my husband was able to fix the problem 🤞

[@monazuniga6499]

How was the turkey with the oil and seasonings brushed on the turkey? Would you recommend it for us to do it or not? Thx Everything looked delicious!!

[@acountrylife]

Very good 👍 I’d highly recommend turkey prepared this way.

[@jameskeating4719]

DAFFY DUCK n Bugs Bunny n Elmer Fudd HUNTING SEASON LOL 😊

[@debralawler-nt9si]

Well 12years is longer than most....we are right now waiting tor a new furnace it's 10years old and it died.. Price to repair is 4000.00 a new a furnace and a/c is 16140.00. Thank goodness my son in law knows a guy who will give us a better furnace and A/C with humidifier installed with a ten year warranty tor 7800.00.. So my daughter is waiting for them to set up a time to install its warm today Monday and Tuesday but Wednesday its voting to dip a lot. okay do I feel for you I truly do. Earlier this year her fridge went and it was cheaper yo buy all four appliances than one fridge... Its been a year.

[@christieflesch3750]

Wish I had a friend like you I would’ve came over to your house I volunteered to dog sit because too much drama my family’s house and I chose this year not to go

[@susnorth40]

Fantastic video Jen ! Quick question. I bought a bag of fresh cranberries , they are refrigerated at the moment, but they're for Christmas dinner (sauce) it's the 8th today. Should I freeze them until I'm ready to use them on the 25th or will they be ok in the fridge till then? Tks for all you do pretty lady😊 ❤ Tbay. Ps : Peter had a good point. Edit on the beating spatchcock highly recommended. Vile.

[@acountrylife]

The cranberries might soften, but since they’re for sauce it’ll be fine. Freezing never hurts though.

[@kerkis7669]

Oven repair men say don’t use the self cleaning on your oven it makes your oven break sooner.

[@sharonpeta2390]

ASMR dear hunting cooking show. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@KimFego-pn2yt]

I can’t stop laughing 😂 😂

[@lindacusick1156]

That poor turkey.🤣

[@acountrylife]

😂🤣😂

[@mnchop8503]

I'm spatchcocking a chicken tonight 😂. I've never done a turkey though like that!

[@acountrylife]

It was intense!!

[@kaitmorr]

❤

[@shelleydavies1639]

2 probems with your spatchcocking method: one, too big a turkey...16 lb is probly the limit for neatly spatchcocking; two, you have it up on a counter where you cant get proper leverage...doing it in a sink would give you the proper leverage
