I'M NEVER BAKING AGAIN!!! 😱

[@thefreylife]

Tell me in the comments- are you a BAKING kind of person... or a COOKING kind of person?

[@amandagray9871]

Cooking!

[@jaytheimpalerr]

I try to be both! But I think I tend to bake more because it seems like more “fun”. 😂

[@benjaminfreyman4273]

Totally love to bake but I love to cook as well.

[@karendeakin9628]

The Frey Life no chance it’s what bakery dept in stores for! But watching Mary has reduced me to tears of laughter and love Harry’s new coat!

[@violetkemp9640]

I'm definitely a cooking person and I think that's because I learned how to cook from my grandmother.

[@melissa-Ann]

Mary is serious about those muffins, while Peter is laughing and just letting her rant. That's LOVE or Peter *knew* not to cross paths. 😂💙

[@Judymontel]

I LOVE that idea of having something color-coded so that while they are listening to you talk, the kids can color in the body parts on their sheet! I'm convinced that many children listen better and absorb more when they have something to do with their hands!!

[@boobear9500]

That cat sweater invention is absolute brilliance!!! What a fantastic idea!!!

[@jackiecosta7620]

I totally agree

[@xandrayoung9186]

Can I just say thank you! You and all your medical talk has super helped me with my pathophysiology nursing exam this semester! Your even helping a future nurse like me! One more year to go! Keep being awesome Mary and Peter your doing an amazing thing helping so many!

[@kkmills5934]

I have never heard Peter say that something you cook is bad. Peter always steps around like “ with a cup of coffee it’s good.” What a great husband he is! Mary I love that you cook with your heart ♥️

[@audreybsitter9094]

Mary is about to throw hands with the muffins

[@fragilefleur]

lollll

[@lindacraig5056]

I love baking and it makes the house smell so good too.Don't give up Mary!! It gets easier the more you do it just like cooking.

[@michellenicholson4718]

I just love you guys so much! Each day I look forward to your vlogs. Your faith shines through in all you do. You give me hope.

[@lindacondray7918]

Anyone else notice the little secretary desk is now out by the table? 🤣 Put furniture where it works for you! If you want flexibility, put wheels or those little slider things on the feet. Then you (or Peter) can move it back and forth as you want without stressing/torquing the legs. 😷🖖

[@maryreynolds5310]

Omgoodness...I’m laughing so very much Mary!!!! I just can’t tell you how good it is to be back you guys! Heck ya I would say, do the dishes and I will be a little better. Thank you hun (Mary says) lol You two!!! Omgoodness, your yard, the table with the fire, the privacy boards with all the different plant’s, the crickets in the background...Gorgeous, all of it so beautiful! It’s come along way, you both really made that house a home. ✌🏻

[@hollyosgerby1901]

I think it is wonderful that you have such a heart to educate children about CF. You have a way of keeping it simple so that your information is understandable and not overwhelming. Never met a child that didn’t have a question.....kids are so inquisitive! Peter, you had me in stitches! Mary is having a meltdown in the kitchen and you are trying to not outright laugh at the whole situation🤣🤣 I am glad that you are willing to give muffin baking another try. Don’t let the muffins get the best of you LOL. Who was that handsome dude sporting that cool body sweater.....HARRY! Love to you all and God bless! 🤗❤️❤️🙏🏼😘🐕🐱

[@marilan8154]

When Peter put the apple crisp in the oven I thought he was showing it after cooking. I gasped when he grabbed the pan handle and wondered why he didn’t scream. Major brain f*** on my part! Boy I hear ya Mary about baking...for me pretty much any kinda house work!

[@geniekruljac]

I too cook with my heart but baking is another thing completely. I feel baking is a bit like science, you need the right ingredient and portion and mixing to get a good result. I follow baking recipes pretty much exactly (only deviate with "mixim's" sometimes - chocolate chips, nuts, etc). but cooking recipes are treated as suggestions usually. Muffins, to me, are basically cake that you can eat with butter in the morning with coffee.

[@Asincitygirl]

No judgement but. Am I the only one who has a thing about leaving cabinet doors open? Some people like symmetry. I think doors hanging open interfere with the symmetry. Also, I would probably continually bump into that pantry door if it were in my kitchen.

[@Lyenye]

I can always tell when my son has been in the kitchen. Not one cabinet door is closed lol

[@mistieseverydaylife4705]

I can’t handle cabinet doors being left open idk why but it drives me nuts 🥜 and here lately my kids have been doing it a lot. I can’t sleep at night if I think a cabinet door is open I’ll have to get up to check then go to bed lol maybe it’s a ocd thing I have no idea

[@Asincitygirl]

@@Lyenye Kids are the worst. I have one that will ask where is the "whatever" and before I can answer she has every cabinet door open.

[@Asincitygirl]

@@mistieseverydaylife4705 I feel bad for Mothers who have kids home all day. I would go crazy. I'm not that bad about cabinet doors. But do check the front door before bed.

[@mistieseverydaylife4705]

Susan 345 my kids are teenagers they are home all day right now because of COVID but it’s not so bad now if they were smaller I’d go nuts 🥜 I have to get up and shut my front door almost every night because it gets left open and I have a thing about my back door it has to be locked at all times idk why I’m just a weirdo lol

[@nancybrozo3313]

Had to watch this again. Loved it. When Peter was giggling and you were like, "I am never baking again." Can relate . 1 time I lost it trying to make a pie crust and threw it across the room on the floor. Never tried again.

[@mandimoo87]

I made toffee apple crisp, saute the apples in butter until coloured then add a splash of water and cook until soft. Put the apples into your baking vessel and turn up the heat on the pan until the remaining butter and juices caramelise. Pour over the apples and make a crumble topping with flour and butter and sugar rubbed together. Add oats if you like. You can add cinnamon and raisins as well

[@bunnieowensowens1146]

Hi Mary we love your tree and pumpkins outside its so cool you teach online

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

Canned pumpkin purée is great for dogs with poorly tummies! I add a tablespoonful to their dinner and then make the rest into pumpkin ice cubes in case of future issues xxxxxx

[@cherylstrickland866]

Is it a Norfolk Island Pine? I think that is what we call them here.

[@fragilefleur]

yup and I remember last year when they were messing around with that pine trying to figure out how to revive it saying it was a first xmas tree, etc. So cool to see it thriving!

[@vickie_reloved.treasure]

I never comment but I laughed so hard at Mary and the "stupid" muffins!!!😂😂😂😂😂❤️

[@kathyrizzi8754]

I’m not a baker, I’d rather cook. Awww, Harry’s sweater is cute, he needs it, he’s always cold. Love the fire on your deck at night, both fur babies out there, they’re adorable. Mary, I think it’s great teaching children about CF, you do a great job, teacher! 🥰🌺🌹👏👏👏👏

[@fragilefleur]

I'm the same with zen time withs succulents. Leg warmers make good small dog and cat sweaters too,. Loved Harry's sweater bc the cuff is really regal on his neck and suits him. My mixed chi, pom dog is extra long so it's hard finding her a good long sweater. I might use someone's idea here for the sweatshirt sleeve cut out. She needs some winter pajamas and that'd be perfect. lol

[@carolynlong9148]

Mary you are such a great teacher. I wish I were working right now so you could teach my class. I work in special education and this would be a great lesson about the different disabilities that you can not see. I want my students to learn that some chronic illness affect differnt parts of the body like the lungs. I suffer from Asthma and I'm no able to run with my students at during physical activity.

[@nancy3432]

That apple crisp looked so delicious.

[@jeanneorr7838]

Looks like a Norfolk island pine

[@laracrews6916]

Almost went to culinary school for baking. While I can cook - I prefer baking. But I also prefer sweet things.

[@caprialnichols7659]

Loving the vlogs keep it up Mary and Peter

[@susanswanson7757]

My kids will tell you that muffins are just cupcakes without icing.

[@dothatch5147]

I kept my pots and pans and all washed as i cooked.

[@karenwood9593]

You both are so sweet. Everyday I look forward to the Frey Life. I am sure you give hope and confidence to many CF kids and their parents. I love my cactus painting. I make Jiffy brand corn muffins and have them with beans. My mother made skillet corn bread in a cast iron skillet and a big pot of beans. That's a southern thing around this parts in southwest VA.

[@Sherri5453]

The apple crisp looks yummy! I love a good apple crisp. Looks like your topping recipe was good Peter!

[@rebeccaclavette2329]

You two make me laugh everyday! ❤️

[@emilykeener4796]

I’ve tried to bake a number of times during the pandemic. I really don’t enjoy it either. There are bakeries for a reason! Also Harry is adorable in his sweater!

[@Its.vape.zebra24.7]

No worries last time I baked muffins I messed up too. Muffins are tedious little things to bake at times.

[@kathymills1925]

Libby’s posted on their website that plentiful amounts of pumpkin were coming around the middle of October. The harvest was just a bit delayed this year.

[@TuggerAbbey]

There is a pumpkin shortage and I managed to get some from Target. That crumble looks amazing!

[@jtrujillo1985]

I had to skip 02:57 & thats not a big deal, i feel like that song is VERY popular on KZbin lately. Love your pumpkins 🧡 once im no longer in these apartments i have a pumpkin craft im reeeeally looking forward too from Pinterest but for the time being i bought a Pumpkin Spice Air Wick Essential Oil plugin & it smells so good!

[@bionicprincess8008]

You are too funny!! The muffins look great. It can be a challenge to not over bake. I always insert a tooth pick a minute or two before the suggested baking time. If it comes out clean they are done. It will help prevent getting dried out. I love to bake, but also enjoy cooking. Take care 💗

[@mockfanatik]

Use the muffin method. Dry ingredients in mixing bowl. In another bowl mix wet ingredients together then add to dry and mix, with paddle attachment, as little as possible, it's ok to have lumps. As long as you know this method, you can just look at ingredients. If you ever make blueberry muffins, after mixing, dust blueberries in flour and then fold into batter. This is to prevent blueberry bleeding and sinking. Love your videos!

[@anndoyon7519]

Where did you get your fire box that's on your deck? It's beautiful!

[@imogenoliver]

Mary baking brought a smile and a laugh to my day 😃. Honestly I will bake or cook but I don't really prefer one over the other, maybe baking? What flavor were the muffins? Also I would have lover to be in that class that Mary taught because it looks so interesting as in wanting to go into medicine after I finish highschool. Anyway love you guys and thanks for being part of my day 😊.

[@dothatch5147]

Peter did you use oats. Brown sugar and melted butter as topping

[@cindygartner157]

I was blessed with the ability to cook and bake well. Mostly, I enjoy making something that makes others happy, though I love baking. Try another recipe Mary, you can do it!

[@mlleariane6667]

Every time my cat hears Harry meowing she starts meowing at the screen

[@lindawright7531]

Mary I love baking. I am getting ready to bake a Pumpkin Earthquake cake.

[@jaimebh30]

The muffins look great! I sometimes like to bake and most of the time use a mix if possible for a recipe. It is a lot of work to measure all the ingredients. My favorite to bake are banana bread and carrot cake.

[@Tigerlilly0902]

The thumbnail photo looks like Peter is showing off his engagement ring 😂

[@shernandez2276]

Love that you’re teaching cystic fibrosis to young children. Who better for them to look up to but an adult with the same disease. Gives them hope. Muffins and apple crisp oh my. 😋

[@stjernoga]

My cat love capes but a sweater he just fall on his side 😻

[@dothatch5147]

Cute Harry. We used arms of our sweatshirts for our chis. My dog loved to be dressed

[@joduffield7500]

Pumpkin is always low in stock. Sam's club has the best deal on them. The large can puree cost $6 for a 3 pk.

[@emilyneal92]

I do the same thing when I cook! I get so annoyed! 😂

[@kareng6998]

I have been there with sewing directors and the mess afterwards. 🥴😂

[@amandapeck3921]

Hi Mary could you possibly do the lesson foe us, so we can understand more.

[@SaRah-21532]

Haha I'm the exact opposite of Mary. I can't stand cooking because it's so vague and you're just expected to know what you're doing, but with baking you're told exactly what to do and there's no room for interpretation.

[@eej1983able]

Yes lol i hate dealing with raw meat knives etc. I prefer to bake for sure if I had to

[@michellepletta3040]

Try the apple crisp with some vanilla ice cream...😍😍 and caramel if thats ur thing

[@klynch7912]

I tried to get canned pumpkin at 3 stores and all out.

[@jackiecosta7620]

Hi Mary ... I m enjoying your rant about baking... I m same way. So... I decided to try making cookies with No recipe and they came out pretty yummy... Nothing is measured... your judgement and heart is all you need and much less cleanup... So, in a 3 quart saucepan fill up 3/4 way with bottled water... bring to a boil then lower heat simmer add Quaker 100% whole grain old fash/oats 5 min kind till it thickens a little ... add a new med jar organic all natural peanut butter keep stirring while simmering Low add 1 or 2 lg bars 100% dark unsweetened Dark chocolate ... add small amt baking soda... sprinkle of iodized or sea salt... maybe a 1/2 stick real butter you can add some eggs (I did not) shredded coconut might be good to add and throw in any sweetener you like raw honey or brown sugar. So the consistency should be like oatmeal... have some boiling water on side ready to add in if too thick. scoop onto whatever kind of sheet pan or bake it like a brownie cake... So the oatmeal is the base instead of flour so I think healthier... ps do a half batch first time to see if you guys like it ... I like baking this way... I never liked to measure w/cooking or baking. ps for easier cleanup use tin foil or baking paper on pan

[@jonki1980]

I'm an eating kind of person. I'm really good at assembling things on a plate and heating things up though.

Also Harry's body suit is so cute

[@laurab68707]

I don't think I've ever seen Mary go on like that about anything. Funny!! I actually prefer baking to cooking. I just made some Pumpkin bread muffins. Oh my, they are sooooo good.

[@lisablondell2349]

What happened to your corner desk spot lol.

[@margephillips5951]

Hello Peter and Mary. I do know with your little tree they don't like to be dry. I have two of them .

[@davegoodridge8352]

I’m a eating what cooking and baking type people make person. Mary, the reason you get nervous before these online programs; is because you care about people. That’s the maddest I’ve seen Mary, Peter be very careful.

[@momkrk49]

Love the baking rant, this is so me. I hate cooking. I'll do dishes all day if you cook, lol. I love hibiscus. I have a beautiful picture of my granddaughter with a hugh bright red blossom in her hair from our bush.

I did & it’s SO hard!! It made me anxious!! Ur incredible Mary!! Don’t ever forget that!!!

[@annteruya7154]

Relax Mary they look Awesome your Muffins

[@kristolphillips1000]

The big red book by betty Crocker was my first cookbook. Muffins are easy. I don't do all the bowls for muffins. Wet ingredients first then I add my flour and the rest. Just mix well. I've never had any problems.get yourself a stand mixer makes life easier.

[@haleyphipps0417]

Hey guys, Happy Monday! Mondays are my double Frey Life video days since Sundays I don't watch KZbin. Sorry you had a hard time baking the muffins Mary. Next time try a similar recipe and just keep practicing baking things like muffins.😁 Encouragement of the day for you girl. Anyway,also sorry that Walmart sucked at getting that item you and Peter wanted so bad. Recommend that you and Peter better just start going grocery shopping at Walmart and Aldi in person again or if you still don't feel comfortable going out in public due to COVID19 concerns,then send Peter grocery shopping if you trust him.🙂 Have had many people we know recommend on social media that ordering groceries online can get expensive with delivery fees and a lot of times be unreliable to get what you want even if it saids it's in stock. A lot of grocery pickup services lie because they want people to come and shop in person to give them their business. So it's just better to shop in person.👍😉

[@jeanlee1911]

dont give up on muffins, i make them every sunday. I bake and cook. I try a new type every month. dont make crumble muffins at first just make plain ones first. keep trying you will do fine.

[@carolynlong9148]

Well Mary I think you're muffins came out better than my corn bread. I don't know what I did to that corn bread but. The egg was seeping out of the bottom. I think I will try again you said do what you think you can't do so I will. Harry it looks like you found the fall fashion look. Harry you're maken the other cats jealous. Thanks for sharing your day god bless.

[@DuvAngel1]

The muffins look great! Poor Harry😰😭 he wanted to try one taste.. ooooh and that milk~ 👀
