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.

[@jacquelinelilly8064]

Yah! Another baby! One of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much is because I'm from a large Catholic family, and your family reminds me of that🙂

[@deborahsavoie2159]

Congratulations on the up coming birth of the new grandbaby. Also congratulations to your daughter, son in law, and their children. May God blessing be with everyone.

[@janhardginski990]

I love Maria learning in the kitchen! Congratulations Emily!

[@pamelastucker8335]

I think these freezer meals would be perfect for cranberry harvest time. It would keep you out of the kitchen so much and it would be hearty filling meals for everybody working so hard.

[@Dindasayswhynot]

And planting time

[@korikauffman8286]

When the pans are too full, you can bend the edges up and that will give you more room to put the foil and plastic wrap on without sticking.

[@janetfaircloth208]

Enjoy your videos especially when the kids help you. You are teaching them important life skills.

[@lindaholliday4536]

I make sure I heat my corn shells in microwave for one minute and rolls nicely. Your leftover rice could also have been used for fried rice you had alot of vegetables leftover and fried rice freezes great. You guys did a great job I've do freezer meals alone many times and alot of work. Congratulations on a new grandchild.🎉🎉

[@athompson3789]

Congrats to Emily and husband on new baby arriving soon and also already has a big brother and a big sister. Pray all is well for delivery for mother and baby. great video.

[@kellybick6472]

I really enjoy ALL of your videos but especially when Emily and Maria are in them! Just love you guys!

[@GeorgiaPeach87]

Maybe next time if you overfill, flash freeze and then wrap🥰 Congratulations on the new baby, so exciting!!! We need More Emily!!!! 😂 I miss these times with my Mom so much!! 😭

[@sandratrautman227]

Congratulations on your new grandchild. I can’t believe how big the kids are. Joe’s voice is deeper now. I didn’t realize how long I have been enjoying your videos until I realized how big the kids have gotten.

[@journeyofamidwestquilter]

Emily is hilarious!! "I'll clean the microwave for $3.00!" 🤣🤣 Those freezer meals look amazing!! I especially like the chicken tetrazzini over rice. That just sounds so good to me! Also, congratulations on the new baby!! ❤

[@michellejaggard9657]

Your little daughter is just so adorablely cute, when she smiles and demples show, her whole face lights up. Thank you for showing your freezer meals and prep work. I appreciate you so much.

[@tracegates8841]

Oh my stars! Emily's hilarious improv about mowing the grass for $2 was soooooo funny. I replayed it 10 times to enjoy my fit of crying laughter! 31:10

[@acountrylife]

She’s a hoot when she shares her take on life as the oldest.

[@michellejaggard9657]

The split corn tortillias with the meat for air frying would be good to use in a salad with salsa and sour cream for a taco salad. Sometimes it hapens with old or cold corn tortillias. I know you just bought them doesn't mean they were fresh. They could have been more full or they could have been a little thinner. Nothing you could have helped anyway, just is what it is. I love taco salad and would eat it that way. Lots of great food for you and your daughter.

[@earldouglas3631]

Your comment about the onions reminded me of an old "Happy Days" episode where Howard enlists Marion to make 100 pounds of potato salad for a lodge picnic and she had to cut all those onions because he wanted German potato salad and not a regular mayo based one!

[@terrinewell3044]

Maybe try putting foil on first, then saran. One less step when ready to bake, and the saran will help prevent punctures in the foil while it's in the freezer.

[@MargaretUIUC]

Congratulations to all on a new baby to come!

[@barbarawilliams67685]

I can't wait to see the new baby! The freezer meals will certainly come in handy. Is Joe excited about a new baby?

[@judytieger8976]

Such a great video. You ladies really worked hard, and everything looked delicious. Congratulations to Emily and Sparky. A new baby is so exciting. I find if you heat the corn tortillas in a little vegetable oil in a skillet they are more pliable thus less likely to break.

[@acountrylife]

I heated them in the microwave per the package directions, but as they cooled, they still split.

[@roisinpatriciagaffney4087]

Hello Jennifer, and Emily, congratulations on completing what seems like a Herculean task the laughter was great. Sending blessings to Emily for a safe delivery, and recovery. 🎉 Congratulations to Emily, her husband, and the two little children.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 God bless the Brockmans. X

[@acountrylife]

Their baby is here and everything went really well. Thanks.

[@megm4940]

Congrats to Emily & Sparky on another sweet bundle! All these meals look delicious!

[@Dindasayswhynot]

I loved when you and Emily hit that wall that we all hit when we have done waaay too much. Hearing you two laughing and lost made my day. Sounds so much like when my sister and I used to enjoy working together until we got silly. I have kept a food saverbag that we sealed up empty one of those times. Congratulations on the new baby.

[@acountrylife]

Love that! The silly stage is all part of it.

[@tiffanydalhover6813]

Woohoo another baby!!! I live grandbabies ❤❤❤❤ we have 6 boys! Congratulations too all

[@belindafirley]

I always love your videos! Thank you for being such a wonderful encouragement to so many! Your meals that you share always look so delicious and give me ideas of different meals to try in our home for my precious family. Congratulations to Emily, Sparky and the kiddies on the upcoming birth and arrival of their new precious child and sibling. Congratulations to you all also on the upcoming arrival your newest grandchild (& great grandchild for Jennifer’s sweet Mum) and cousin, niece and or nephew for all your kids etc. Praying for a safe delivery and a healthy Mama and sweet baby! What a beautiful blessing children are from our LORD. Much love from our family to all of yours. God Bless from Australia xx

[@brandiparis5411]

Peter is so talented in the kitchen!! He is prepping food like a pro chef 😂 And congrats on another grandbaby!!! How exciting and so beautiful!

[@acountrylife]

Thanks so much!!

[@revguess9546]

When measuring solids put 1 cup water in measuring cup. Drop into water till desired amount causes h2o to rise...easy peasy plus great math skills. Also teach fractions as in 3t = 1 T....good job Maria!

[@erinbutler9281]

the meals looks so yummy! And I must say, that black turtleneck makes your eyes look SO BLUE! 🖤🖤🖤 and congrats on a brand new grandbaby!!! So exciting!!

[@mollysmith6055]

Congratulations on another baby in the family! This was fun to watch, thank you for doing the extra work of filming on a day that was already busy and tiring. I hope that in addition to those good freezer meals there will also be a meal train organized for Emily and Sparky after Baby arrives. Those are such a blessing in the first weeks. Your corn tortillas *might* have held together better if they'd been sprayed with cooking oil and lightly warmed in a frying pan first but that is never a complete guarantee. Sometimes they just want to crack apart!

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jennifer, Emily and sweet families! Congratulations Emily and to the whole family! How exciting to have a new baby welcomed into the family. Grandparents, aunts, uncles not to mention I bet the siblings will be so excited when you bring your bundle of joy home. So many delicious freezer meals. Joe, Maria and Peter all pitched in the process. I hope everyone has a very blessed week!

[@acountrylife]

Thank you so much! We’re having beautify weather; makes it easy to have a good week. All my best to you too.

[@susnorth40]

Congratulations your new little one Emily and family ! Wow girl, that’s a long time to be on your feet, hope you are resting up 😊 I make the same tetrazzini, an oldy for sure but it’s good ! Stay well.

[@HammTeach]

So many delicious meals! Also congratulations to Emily on another baby, how exciting!

[@karenchakey]

Glory to God congratulations on the new baby what a blessing ❤

[@mary-lynnberti7081]

Nice Hoberman's sphere Joe! I have one that I use with my students for some breathing exercises and they love it! Thanks for the great video! I love makimg freezer meals. My only wish is that my husband would like creamy dishes and casseroles. I am limited in what I can try because of Mr. Picky! Lol.

[@tristaperkins7112]

The lipstick you're wearing at the end of this video is absolutely gorgeous on you!! You should definitely wear that shade more often.

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Jennifer and Emily. I really enjoy watching your freezer meal marathons! And CONGRATULATIONS Emily on your upcoming new bundle of joy!! Maria looks so grown up and her skills in the kitchen are greatly improved!! What a wonderful and fun day!! Hugs.

[@acountrylife]

Thank you so much!!

[@cindiallain8542]

I’ve been looking forward to this video. Joes saying did you say something Mom? When it came to the onions. lol put your onions in the refrigerator. That helps a lot. Is Emily homeschooling? This was fascinating. I loved this. So many meals are ready to go. How nice. Thank you Jennifer for taking the time.

[@janesecaraway3995]

Congratulations on a new grandbaby!! She snuk that one in on us!! ❤😊

[@whitneydial8847]

Yay, another baby, how exciting! Congratulations Emily! Love these freezer meal video's! Maria is so big and so smart and such a great young lady! I also love Peter getting Joe a carrot in the kitchen! Such a great brother! ❤❤❤

[@cherylsoergel9561]

Congratulations to Emily. My daughter is expecting but not till May 10. I told her I would make a couple of meals for her freezer.

[@sybillemartinez3000]

I use parchment paper before the foil so it doesn't stick to the foil it works well

[@lanagraham1661]

A great family effort on the freezer meals! All the meals look delicious. Congrats on the new grandbaby.!🎊🎉 Such a blessing.❤

[@teresayb.4457]

Congratulations on the new baby! Yay! You can do this, Emily! I loved the measuring cup of wine! Perfect for a long freezer meal day😊

[@theresasimkevich6164]

Made your cheesy potatoes for my family they loved it. You need to cook together more often

[@kristenschnese6980]

Congratulations to Emily on her soon to be arrival.. she looks so young. What a great thing to be able to spend time with your daughters oh yes made the favorite casserole yesterday hubby went back for seconds and then he said who is this from Tammy Leslie core Jennifer? I said Jennifer he said tell her it’s good..

[@acountrylife]

Awe thanks. Glad he liked it.

[@thevikmanstorpkitchen.403]

So hqppy for all of you having a new baby in your familie❤❤

[@patriciamcintire]

Jennifer, I have found that Vidalia onions don't cause tears,I always use the sweet onions,We love the flavor better to.

[@monazuniga6499]

I love your channel and I wanted to tell you a hack I learned from another u tuber on the taquitoes. Before she rolls them she sprays the corn tortilla one at a time with some avocado or vegetable spray on both sides and does about a stack of ten. Then she puts the plate of 10 in the microwave for about a min or so and now they are nice and pliable to roll up without cracking. Then another hack she showed us was make a paste af about 2 Tbs of flour and add a little water to make a paste and right before you finish rolling up the taquito she spreads the paste on the top edge and then rolls it over. It acts like a glue and then put them on your tray seam side down and they will not come open. And for the last hack cover them with a damp kitchen towel or paper towel to keep them from drying out and splitting open. I hope this helps you and your daughter the next time you make them. Thank you again for your channel. Have a blessed day!!!

[@acountrylife]

This sounds like a super tip. Spray and warm…that should surely work.

[@laurarochester3054]

Heads up Kwik trip has butter on sale right now for $2.99. Congratulations on the new grandbaby to be!

[@acountrylife]

♥️👍♥️

[@wanieta9271]

That’s a great price for butter . In Alberta we pay $6.49 for a generic brand of butter . Some other kind is on sale right now for $5.99 . That’s a good deal for us .

[@rachalnocchi5600]

Oh my goodness!! Congratulations to the whole family a new baby!!🎉❤ I love how much your younger kids help you out in the kitchen! Yummy carrot Joe, good man, those are so good for you!😊

[@lizboudreaux6811]

Love your videos. Peter is going to make a great husband one day and a great cook.

[@acountrylife]

I hope so 😊

[@tristaperkins7112]

Do yourself a favor and try the potatoes with Golden Grahams on top instead of corn flakes...trust me! Just those little happy accidents that come from running out of or forgetting an ingredient -- I had to substitute frosted flakes one time, and that was even better than the regular flakes, and the next time, I only had a small amount of flakes and added GGs, and that was IT! My entire family insisted on GGs to top my potatoes from there on out. The onion and salted butter just really are complimented by the sweetness of the GGs.

[@yvettegerry9862]

Love when you do freezer meals . I don’t have a instant pot or an air fryer . Thank you ! I use crushed ritz crackers and mix with melted butter it has a richer flavor and we don’t like cornflakes . Congratulations Emily ! 🌸🦋🌸

[@maryl234]

To prevent splitting, warm the corn tortillas in oil in a pan first.

[@mnchop8503]

🎉🎉🎉 lots of love to the family, new babies are the best. Jennifer, have you tried the refrigerator tube of fresh herbs and garlic? I think they are the brand fresh gourmet at Walmart and are located in the produce cooler. The garlic, basil and cilantro are my favorites! Super fresh taste, and much better life span in the fridge! Aldi has tubes too, but are in the spice area and don't require refrigeration until opened. I do prefer the brand at Walmart though. Maybe give the cilantro a try since not all in the family are fans!? ❤❤❤

[@dawnmontoya4444]

On the taquitos that have cracked, throw those i to small pyrex and top with enchilada sauce or queso and bake in over or airfryer.

[@e.cahill9594]

I kept looking for the baked spaghetti recipe in your cookbook… finally realized it was out of another cookbook you were using🤣🤣🤣

[@rajeethopay9242]

Congratulations to Emily!!

[@melindaridinger3008]

Congratulations on the new grandbaby coming!!!!

[@jameskeating4719]

Wisconsin cranberries so cool 😊 beautiful country

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

Save yourself the extra step, put the foil on the pans first, then the saran wrap, anchor with small piece of tape. That way you only have to remove plastic and not have to worry about putting foil back on

[@elenacala]

Corn tortillas need to be heated usually in a bit of oil for 20 seconds each to keep them from splitting. Hopefully that helps. Sometimes if I'm being really lazy i might microwave them but you have to be fat because they cool down quick and they don't get as pliable.

[@reginalancaster5626]

Cheers Jennifer:) Congratulations, Emily! I love freezer meals. They are wonderful to have on hand. I received my cookbooks and am enjoying reading through them. I plan on making the pizza crust for tonight:) I can tell that your girls watch and learn from you and are very comfortable in the kitchen. I miss doing that with my mom. Enjoy your meals:) That is going to be great for a new momma!

[@nicolewatters4062]

The chocolate from aldi is also from Belgium ❤ their chocolate is amazing ❤

[@MeloyKimberly]

Loved every minute of this. Congratulations, Emily and family! Thanks so much for sharing :)

[@EggFeathersHomestead]

I would say warm your tortillas first and fill them a bit less. Looks delicious!

[@jbkmkz]

The Sombrero bbq sauce in the ball canning book is really good in the crockpot with a chuck roast. We shred and make taquitos with flour tortillas and cheese added. They are even good leftover. Bake or air fry. Lots of flavor. Just some work canning the sauce. I will be canning more this fall we like it so much.

[@acountrylife]

Sounds great!

[@MamaRay694]

Congratulations on the new baby!

[@user-rv7qy4eq2m]

Jennifer, if you heat/fry your corn tortillas in a small amount of hot oil and pat dry with paper towels they won't break.

[@dawnmontoya4444]

I just would mist each corn tortilla with oil and heat them on your griddle. It not only makes them easier to roll, but the heat makes the flavor of the corn tortilla come out. Tastes so much better.

[@annmarieganderton6855]

Thank you for sharing xx

[@rociomelgoza6889]

😂 now Emily sounds just like my older kids they're always remind me how they work harder than my younger ones😂 I think everyone goes through the same thing also my older sister used to say the same thing to my mom.

[@filomenaoliveira7164]

Congratulations

[@martiestes8932]

Congratulations on the new addition! All the meals look so good. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week!

[@acountrylife]

Thanks so much!

[@cathydecarles7084]

Congratulations and to Emily and Sparky and all of Your beautiful Family May Continue to bless you all love Cathy🙏🏻✝️☮️📿🌺🌹🍀❤️💗📿💙💐🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🌹💐🍀

[@acountrylife]

Thanks Cathy ♥️

[@user-gv4xe1lw3q]

Congratulations Emily

[@catwoman4580]

Put them in fridge before, helps cut the burning

[@anna27446]

The taquitos you made would be really good dipped in nacho cheese or cheddar cheese sauce!

[@thomyewright2011]

Congratulations Emily! We’re expecting baby #6 at the end of May and I will be giving a lot of these recipes a try! Thanks for the tip on the Freezer Fit website!

[@acountrylife]

Wow! Congratulations to you and your family. How exciting.

[@nakita1959]

Great looking freezer meals. Thanks for sharing ❤on to watch 30 minute video to learn

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning All happy Wednesday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter

[@elkedebuck4547]

❤❤❤❤ love to You guys and many love to Emily

[@vickiulrich6694]

Babies and weddings? You are one busy and growing family! Just think…one day Warren will have lots of hands for cranberry harvest but will maybe want to be retired!!!:):):)

[@kittyrichards9915]

Happy news about another baby.

[@kimberbeardsley156]

If you microwave the corn tortillas first, they'll roll up perfect.

[@dianepayne5613]

FYI, Aldi has butter on sale either this week, 3/13, or next week for Easter… Congratulations on the upcoming new grandchild…💙 or 🎀???

[@RhondaLitterick-zc5py]

Do the noodles and cream soup freeze well or are they separated and mushy when baked.

[@kelliconlan8133]

Good morning (evening) Joe!!!!!

[@acountrylife]

Hello there!

[@user-ph1rx6pb8d]

Mission super soft corn tortillas are the way to go.

[@jojo-tz2ym]

Flash freeze first. Then foil

[@COWELLGIRL]

Yall should make hot dishwater and wash as you go while cooking , that's what I learned to do raising 7 kids , works perfect,

[@leswilliams4022]

Such a lot of work! Hope these work out well for you and your families. Unfortunately I don't think any of these meals would fly for my family.

[@erintamuts5877]

I heard if you keep onions in the fridge, that should help some!

[@kimeverhart6253]

Just an fyi for you: we NEVER put cornflakes on top of our cheesy potato casserole!! So, don’t be afraid to eat it without the flakes! It’s super delicious this way!! Ps…Congratulations to all for the upcoming birth of your family’s new Baby!! I truly believe that babies are gifts straight from heaven! ✨💜⭐️….I was a L&D RN for over 20 years and was privileged to be part of that beautiful miracle of life. Enjoy every sweet, precious moment…✨💜

[@acountrylife]

Good to know about the cornflakes. And what a rewarding career in nursing you had. Babies = hope.

[@vickihill4777]

Just curious could you put the foil on first then the plastic wrap then just remove the plastic wrap only . Then bake.

[@acountrylife]

We tried once and the plastic wrap didn’t stay in place. We had to tape it and that was an extra step we didn’t want to do.

[@karenwittfoth5380]

Do you make your salsa verde with tomatillos or green tomatoes?

[@acountrylife]

Green tomatoes

[@jameskeating4719]

How do you get your teen to partake ? Lol 😂 we use to try cooking together

[@malindaenns6327]

I always heard if your knife is not sharp enough, that’s when you will tear up from onions.

[@louisecasdia8039]

You can run the onion on the wall cold water and you won't have that burning
