[@tammyr2966]

Family love and Family dinners are the best! What a beautiful family and so much delicious food! That fish looked amazing and so did all the food that went with it! Beautiful snow scene and warm family love - what a wonderful day!

[@sheliapeters2082]

Joe!, love your yellow ear muff speakers. Thanks for always brightening my Day by sayin , “Hi🎼,” Means the world to me.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Maria is like I am when asked a question.... hard to make my mind up. Mostly, because we want to pleaseand don’t care one way or the other. Lol I think. Not a bad thing....

[@Sister_song]

This was really special Jennifer❣️ Thank you so much for sharing🙏🏽❣️🙏🏽 You teach me so much and inspire me so so deeply❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you always💖

[@jackieburnett6881]

Such a delicious meal!! Hubby did a n amazing job frying the fish and the apple crisp dessert! Yummy!!!

[@treenaakers9429]

Thanks for taking us along for your fish fry! Hope you have a great week dear friend!

[@mariezafonte6473]

Love the fish fry. I'm 72 and still don't eat meat on a Friday, anytime. Growing up it was always macaroni with broccoli or cauliflower and then a piece of fish. Pizza Fridays here. No pepperoni, just mozzarella and veggie pie, ricotta and broccoli. Enjoy seeing Joe love his music!!

[@acountrylife]

Oh, your pizza varieties sound delish.

[@wendylynch]

Love the fish fry entertainment by Joe. Those cool whip cream cheese pies are a staple for our holiday desserts. I've started adding a can of crushed pineapple, drained of course ... deliciously tart and sweet. This was a heart warming video of your beautiful family, as usual. Blessings to all!

[@PammyJ6107]

I make my apple crisp just like you do except I use brown sugar in the topping instead of white sugar....so happy to see the family in your video tonite, I have been missing seeing them!

[@d.austin3984]

I love that show When calls the heart. What a wonderful family dinner.

[@Mrsran87]

"Love your people well with food" sums this vlog up perfectly,Jennifer. Thank you so much for sharing,you have a beautiful family and I so enjoy watching your videos. Many blessings & Happy 1st day of Spring to you all!~

[@melissabibby7310]

Thanks for letting us in to your home, with family. The food looked amazing. I’m with Warren I go back twice for some of that apple crisp, after cooking up all that fish.?👍❤️

[@connieseadler1188]

Love watching your family

[@deblavan4190]

That all looks fantastic!

[@tinster01]

We use cornmeal for fish. We just dredge the fish in the cornmeal and fry. We do french fries instead of 🥔 salad.

[@meburde]

Thank you Maria for getting me into watching When Calls the Heart. Love it so much and was able to watch all the previous seasons. 👍❤️

[@annettewiggins9651]

I love watching you and your family. Cooking is how I show my family I love them too.

[@yvettegerry9862]

Fish is beautiful nothing better. Yea Nick yum great job Warren.

[@valerieh8526]

Watching your fish fry prep reminds me of my grandpa! He’s been gone over 20 years, but the memories are strong. I miss those days. Up at the crack of dawn, fortified with Snickers bars and Coke, sitting in the fishing boat. 😂 I wasn’t much for baiting my own hook, but grandpa was a patient teacher. My prep job was always scaling. He used olive oil and shallowed fried in a couple electric skillets. Saltine crackers and pepper were a must! His best friend gifted him with a photo collage of their Canada fishing trips with the quote, ‘There’s six times more water than land, so anybody can see the Good Lord intended man to fish more than work.’ My grandpa did a whole lot of both well! ☺️🥰😁

[@lucymartinez7190]

Thank you so much for sharing, you have a beautiful family 👪, your grand babies are so adorable 😍, fish fry looked delicious and your 🥧, apple crisp scrumptious 😋, We always have a fish fry on Good Friday after the Station of the cross ✝️ walk and mass that is the meal for the day

[@sandiebrown8291]

Love the way you all work together. The fish looks delicious 😋 yummy dinner with the sides

[@angelawix2075]

I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a tomato knife. Lol

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning happy Monday morning and I just wanted to say that your vlogs is sooo beautiful I loved your channel always because you are sweetheart and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@charlotteclark2207]

Reminds me of growing up in Tennessee Friday night fish fry. Looks delicious.

[@cherylsoergel9561]

That fish looked delicious. Warren does a great job.

[@beckymiller2185]

Here in Iowa fish fry same way deviled eggs and bread and butter too. Yummy

[@cathylarkin5664]

As I watched this wonderful food being prepared, I practically needed a cloth to wipe drool from my phone....mmmmmm!😋🤤🤣

[@christineschwartz8269]

Oh wow,, you were busy.. your food looks delicious,, Thank you for sharing 🌹

[@brendawilliams6133]

Don't worry Warren, I use my tomato knife for everything... lol You go Joe !!! I was good to see all the kids.

[@debrarogahn6555]

It looks so delicious. I wish I was there. I would bring the tartar sauce.

[@lisaturner8664]

The fish looked scrumdillilumptious!! Love from Australia xxx

[@jtick6319]

My husband’s nephew lives up in Merrill. He wants us to come for a Friday night fish fry. My hubby almost went the last time. But flying in from Washington state would be awfully expensive even if it would be for a great cause. But I’m sure we’ll probably go this summer. We love visiting Wisconsin. And making mayo from Acre Homestead is my go to from now on. It’s so easy and tastes do good. Homemade tartar is super easy to make!

[@journeyofamidwestquilter]

That fish looks amazing! Walleye is a great fish; however, being originally from Mississippi, I think catfish will always hold the top spot for me as far as fish is concerned. Looks like you had a great night with your family!

[@cindyreid7892]

Jenn , the food looked delicious!! It’s usually catfish at the fish fries in Alabama and I love it..My mouth is watering for fish ,slaw and potato salad ..usually hushpuppies around the south too..

[@tracegates8841]

Delighted to spend time with you.

[@AshatHome]

I don't even eat fish but I do miss the Wisconsin fish fry🐟 and a Wisconsin Old Fashioned🥃

[@gofftroop95]

Loved this video! Never seen a fish batter like this. Will have to try it. Here in Oklahoma we mainly fry catfish or spoonbill, spoonbill in the spring as that’s snagging season for them. Loved this family video

[@forlindy12]

Triple it is at my house. The topping os the best!! Try crushed ritz crackers for your breading. Wonderful flavor!

[@acountrylife]

When I bake fish I always use crushed ritz sprinkled with dill and drizzled with butter. I love the cracker flavor.

[@yvettegerry9862]

Fish looks sooo good yea Nick !

[@cynthiacook7768]

I received my cookbook yesterday. Looking forward to cooking your great recipes.

[@acountrylife]

Enjoy!! Thank you.

[@patriciakoester1580]

Looks Heavenly 🙏

[@jackistemper1419]

Now I want a fish fry ...all of the food and desserts looked amazing!! How about Joe's dance party!! 👏👏👏

[@tonyasmith9335]

Omg looks so delicious I'just put me some fish sticks in the toaster oven gonna put lemon on mine nummmmmy

[@cynthiastauffer8012]

If I have apples that are getting a little soft I always make something like this or a pie 🥧 it looks so delicious...YUM with some vanilla ice cream!!

[@brianandkattiekurszewski9851]

I used to pick the radishes out too, but they gave it really good flavor. Your mom's potato salad was always the best! I made your Big Mac Casserole tonight for the first time...it was a big hit!

[@acountrylife]

We love Big Mac casserole. I think it deserves a place on my meal plan soon.

[@sheilaperl4155]

Triple!! I adore apple crisp, I used to make it all the time. Your fish looks so fresh and delicious, my husband and I live in a retirement residence and we have fish every Friday, unfortunately the fish we are served is not as lovely as yours!! I love your videos and seeing your family!

[@marciadichiara5688]

Love this vlog. I liked all the recipes. Appreciate you!!

[@kathleenengland2548]

I love your heart Jennifer, it is full of love.

[@tonivoskanian7111]

That all looked absolutely yummy 🥰😘😘

[@laurarochester3054]

As a fellow Wisconsinite- Yes to the Friday night fish fry!!! We do a batter for ours and double fry them. Yum! And just a tip instead of using paper towels to drain it on we use newspaper or brown paper bags, works so much better IMO. Loved Joe’s entertainment!

[@beth5863]

Warren is such an awesome husband and father

[@StormofTruthPrepping]

nice video😀

[@rachalnocchi5600]

That fish looked SO good!! Yummy!

[@tammifields4142]

Yess it did!!😋😋

[@midgesilvers9316]

Love fish, but I haven't tried or heard of cracker for the breading! I'm going to give it ago this weekend!🤗thanks!

[@rondap.328]

I am surprised you didn't think to look up a recipe to make your own mayonnaise...the crisp sounds wonderful...

[@bonniemccain5158]

It all looks delicious.

[@janesecaraway3995]

So glad joe is doing better!! Great video and fish fry!! From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️

[@debradonaldson737]

Warren, I use my tomato knife for cutting up strawberries. It is a handy tool! Jennifer, I received your cookbook, and I love it!

[@acountrylife]

Thank you so much 😊

[@lathamshomestead]

Add some yellow mustard to the milk and egg wash delicious 😋

[@heatherjohnson2511]

I use mayo & sour cream in my potato salad....actually my egg & chicken salad as well.....i.also like a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese too..

[@mollysmith6055]

I just made your apple crisp recipe last week...it was delicious served hot and also yummy when served as an accompaniment to plain breakfast yogurt. Loved seeing your fish fry...being landlocked here in Eastern Washington we don't have as many fish choices. For us, fish is a very expensive meal option, haha. "Peters" fort was great! After watching this video I can see why you don't offer up many Lenten casserole videos, haha. Your family eats very well with the wonderful fish options you have available. Here, the easiest fish option is trout and...YUCK, lol. And, what? No Yuppie-Hippie diy mayo going on at your house? Ha!

[@janetennis3451]

Great apple crisp recipe. I use butter, brown sugar and oatmeal and I x5 as EVERYONE LIKES THE TOPPING.

[@acountrylife]

That’s a lot of math to enjoy some apple crisp.

[@campcookhenry]

I don’t ever remember potato salad at a Friday night fish fry , coleslaw yes , potatoes pancakes yes , maybe a relish tray ,

[@janetdwyer1867]

Great volg going to try coleslaw recipe.

[@judytieger8976]

Some cranberries cooked with a little sugar and cornstarch would be great on the cheese cake.

[@VeronicaRonniDorval2638]

Oh my gosh that looks so good! 😋 I definitely I'm going to try the coleslaw that's my favorite KFC coleslaw!

[@thesarabrown]

Hey Jennifer! I was browsing your cookbook earlier today and found that I had all ingredients for your Blueberry Crunch Pie 🥧 I whipped it up and that’s what’s for dessert tonight around here! I’ve loved all your recipes so far. Last week we had Banana Snack Cake and licked the pan clean 🤣

[@nancycowan6109]

So you may have read about the note Page 29 - flunked out kids, “some kids” as opposed to the sweet girl who gave her a rice recipe. Jennifer is a mother of a special needs child and has printed in her cookbook her true feeling about kids with needs - other than her very own.. She’s a hypocrite. Makes me very sad.

[@acountrylife]

@Nancy Cowan. Hi Nancy, I’m surprised by your comments regarding my quote “some kids” I refer to in my cookbook. Those first students of mine were not kids with disabilities, rather, 17 year olds who refused to attend PE and instead skipped out of school. Wisconsin graduation requirements stated they needed this .5 credit to receive their diploma. A couple missed PE because of pregnancy and the others were in trouble with the law. I am not a hypocrite; please do not make assumptions about my students from 1995, nor pass judgement on my description of them. I have fond memories with that, my first, class of students and worked my butt off to ensure each one graduated.

[@lindaspillman1817]

Only thing missing is hush puppies

[@jaynebennett3401]

Everything looked delicious!

[@darlenejones-nelson813]

We got rain in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Thankfully.

[@margaretturner3251]

Hello love flows in this family.Take care all I like the video.😊😊🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@lindaliddell-o8p]

Next time you roast veggies on a sheet pan throw some radishes in. They are really good roasted.

[@acountrylife]

You know I forget about radishes, but yes they are delicious.

[@lisakaye2110]

I think potato salad and Cole slaw are a stable in most states at a fish fry. Lol Although I've never seen anybody fry fish without corn meal. Huh, learn something new every day!! Lol Thank you

[@acountrylife]

Rarely use cornmeal here.

[@lisakaye2110]

@@acountrylife I'll be darned. Lol I'm in Missouri, I've never seen fish any other way. I can not eat fish, so when we have a fry, I have chicken fried first. I'm allergic to fish... But, my hubby use cited to try the cracker crust on his next time!!

[@susnorth40]

Lol Warren “micro managed” 😂 geez Louise those fillets are just like steaks! Oh I bet that Walleye was damn tasty. Joe, you are a great entertainer bravo honey ! Great vid Jenn

[@chrischarbonneau8873]

Northern is the best fish. I didn't like fish until I tried Northern.

[@tenillesuzanne8539]

Just wondering if you sifted your flour for the recipe. I notice it said sifted flour so you measure after you sift right. My friend taught me that one about the sifted thing on how they word it whether you sift before or after lol. Fish and everything looked amazing. Coleslaw is a must for a fish fry for me in Pennsylvania also. And the cracker crumb breading is the best on fish for me. Sometimes I use a cornbread based coating like on perch or something but cracker crumbs are good if you haven't tried.

[@acountrylife]

I’m on again off again with sifting. If I don’t sift I at least fluff with a fork.

[@Whatsthedeal106]

You don’t add oats to your apple crumble?!

[@pochantis3478]

🤍

[@jojo-tz2ym]

Jealous of your fish

[@deniselakatos5418]

Thank you for inviting us along to the Brockman Fish Fry! It was good to see the family and who needs a DJ with Joseph in the house!! Warren is just too funny but he does a mean fish fry!! Hugs and blessings.

[@cindakellogg1307]

I can't remember if I shared this with you or not....when we do fish I make a batter of pancake mix (Mrs. Butterworth's) and 7UP. Not real thick but like pancake batter...dip your fish and then deep fat fry. I guarantee the BEST fish you will ever eat. Heavenly! Then you have to make cocktail sauce for dipping....catsup and horseradish....YUMMO!

[@abbysmith2754]

What are the measurements of pancake mix and 7UP, please?

[@cindakellogg1307]

@@abbysmith2754 It's kind of done by eyeing it! ha Depending on how much fish you have...start with a couple of cups of mix then start adding your 7UP...you want the consistency to be like pancake batter...not to thin but then again not to thick. You'll be able to tell...dip your fish then deep fat fry. A surgeon taught my father how to make this...he taught my dad how to fillet and then this recipe. It is SO good! We used to eat so much we would make ourselves sick! Glutens we are! Hope this works for you Abby. Cut your pieces of fish like Warren did. I googled it and they were saying one cup of mix to one cup of 7UP. Also, the pancake mix should be the complete one, where you just add a liquid.

[@debgordon6542]

I saw someone use this recipe on chunks of chicken for sweet and sour chicken. It sure did look good :-)

[@tammifields4142]

I Really enjoy your videos Jennifer!❤️Love how you are involved with your children!🤗🤗 Thanks Joe for the entertainment!💙💙 That fish dinner 🍽️ looks Absolutely DELICIOUS!😋 Thanks for sharing your life with us!!

[@barbarawilliams979]

Love you my sweet Catholic friend.

[@mamofoneteen5178]

Oh my goodness I would have loved to join you all for that! I love fried fish. I’m in the uk and as you know fish and chips is a tradition here, or a way of life for some. It’s a real treat for me though and as a family we will travel some distance for what we consider the best fish and chips! For me the best are found at our beautiful Northumberland coast. The fish I love is cod and the batter is definitely what makes it special. Yummy 😋

[@acountrylife]

I’ll drive for a good one as well.

[@lanagraham1661]

Loved seeing all the meal prep. Jennifer, you are the epitome of loving your people well with food!❤ Now, I want fried fish and all the fixings!😋

[@marilynmoncivais1973]

Jennifer, you have a precious family.

[@karenchakey]

Hi Jen, you make your fish the same way I do, my parents made it this way too, egg and salteins is the best, I never tried milk, I have to make your Cole slaw yet. We enjoyed your salesberry stakes tonight. Joe is so cute, all of your children are a joy to watch, even the grands.

[@kariannkirk]

No tartar sauce 😮 that seems like a law broken! 🤣 Everything looked so delicious!!

[@beverleypicard2116]

How did I not see you posted already ! Yay ! Happy Sunday ! Have a blessed week .

[@gailwentzky8944]

We also serve coleslaw with our fish in SC. That dinner looks wonderful.

That looked like a fun time with some really good food!

[@tammifields4142]

Looooved the fort! Peter is Very Intelligent and Maria is a Cutie!💙💞❤️

[@SlayaIIdayqueen]

Yes! Love our fish fry tradition in Wisconsin. Too bad the Badgers lost tonight though. Sad end to the weekend. :(

[@abbysmith2754]

As an Iowa State alum, you had a good game! It was a fun game to watch!

[@MrTopcat3333]

This always makes me laugh. People tell me I make the best potato salad and ask for my recipe. They then tell me that theirs doesn't taste like mine. I ask "how did you make it?" Answer: I don't like Miracle Whip, so I used mayo....I didn't have red potatoes, so I used russets and let them get cold before dicing them.....I added hard boiled eggs...I used white onions instead of red....I don't like celery, so I left it out..etc. Perhaps that's why it didn't taste like mine? Anyway, your fish fry looks wonderful, especially during Lent. My go to on Fridays is fish filet sandwiches. Hubby never gets tired of them. Blessings to you during this season.
