Slow Sunday HOMEMAKING and Cooking a Turkey Dinner For My Family

Today is a slow Sunday, homemaking and cooking a turkey dinner for my family.
This is kind of a pre- Easter dinner. It was the week before. I really wanted to spend some quality time with my parents, as my dad struggles with health challenges. I get quite sentimental in this video!

First, praying for your Dad for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. Second, that dinner looked delicious! Thanks for sharing your tips for the Turkey, gravy, jelly roll and sour cream!!! I too think about my mom and Dad when I fix Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. I can hear them talking to me in my heart and mind. Enjoy your parents and spend as much time with them as you can. God Bless you and your family. ❤

You make cooking from scratch look so easy. You make many things I have wanted to try, but have been afraid to, so I am happy for your videos! Will be praying for your father!

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thank you! 🙏 I am so grateful that you appreciate my videos. 🌷

I hope you do a video on how to make your yogurt! It looked absolutely delicious! Love sitting down with a cup of coffee in the morning and “visiting” with you before I start my own day of work. Prayers for a speedy recovery for your father!

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Awww, thank you!! 🌷 And, yes, I’m thinking about the Greek yogurt!!

[@dannmurray1199]

What a wonderful meal. It reminds me of the Thanksgiving dinners i made for my parents. I will cherish those memories. You never regret time well spent with them. ❤

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

So true ❤️ It was such a great dinner! 😊

I was raised by my grandmother (grandparents) and I too like with your mom learned so much from her. You and I are close in age and I have the same nostalgia for the past. I accredit my grandmother for that. Though life never gave me the opportunity to be a mother I still love cooking for my family and some of the old traditions. I am so excited for being able to plant a full garden this year and not just a small container garden. Just need the weather to improve here in NS so I can get the garden ready.

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

I love that ❤️ So special to have that relationship with your grandparents. I think that a lot of us crave to go back. Maybe that’s just the way it is at our age, or maybe it’s the times we are living in. Either way, we might not have power over what happens in the world, but we do have power over our own homes. We get to create that! So glad you get to have a big garden this year. You’re gonna love it! 😊

Hello Suzanne; I loved your video! What a beautiful dinner you fixed for your family. I love the fact that your not afraid to try something new and share it with all of us. Prayers for your father that everything will work out. Love your videos. ❤

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate it so much! ❤️ Thanks for your support

[@themoderndaycottage]

Your video is lovely! Thank you for welcoming us into your home and sharing your beautiful life. Blessings to you!❤

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thank you so much! I just found your channel today and subscribed. Love it! ❤️

[@kamdonsmom]

You and I are almost the same age and I also wish things was like they was back then. I feel like it's where I belong. Thank you for the videos.

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Love that we are similar in age! It’s “vulnerable” to reveal your age, as a woman. But I’m glad I did. It’s a great connection for all of us who grew up in a similar era. ❤️

i love a good roast esp the roast potatoes

[@robertaaOHIO]

Loved your video, Suzanne. It was like a nice visit. You were relaxed, but yet you got so much accomplished. Such a lovely dinner and dessert. Prayers for your dad that all will go well❤. Thank you so much- the sour cream was a success? It looks great!

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thank you Roberta 🌷 It was a wonderful dinner. The sour cream I am still on the fence with. I need to play around and do more research! Thanks for visiting!

[@kathrynbroome5966]

in the uk its called a swiss roll its one of the easiest cake at school at 11 12 we did home economics and its the frist rthing in cooking at school you make xx

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Oh wow, we don’t have the best school system over here. We definitely didn’t learn anything like this!!! We learn very little in home economics over here in Canada (unfortunately).

Todays my cook day and I think I will be filming it this time! I haven't cooked as much in my videos as I used to!

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Awesome! You should do it. It’s fun! ❤️

[@scott8838]

Loved your video Suzanne, hope all goes well with your Dad🙏 Everything look sooo delicious 😋 Do you grow chinese eggplant in your garden. ❤

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

Thank you Scott! 🌷 I have grown many varieties of eggplant, but not the Chinese ones yet! My biggest success last year was with a variety called black beauty. I’m pretty sure it’s just the standard grocery store variety, but they produced a bumper crop!

[@samaholderfield1518]

going to try the cake.

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

It was so fun to make!

Does adding the potato water to the gravy help thicken it?

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

It helps adds flavour and body to the gravy. Also, vitamins can be lost into the cooking water, so by using it in the gravy, you aren’t loosing anything. My mom would also add water from her other vegetables!
