Chatty Meals of the Week {FROM SCRATCH} | Answering Your Low-Carb Questions
I love the fact that you show “real life” in your videos. They do not looked “staged” as some do. I don’t stick around for those. I enjoy your family.
That’s the highest compliment I can get. Thank you so much! I aim to stay real. Have a great night. 🫶
I can't believe that Sam is 20! Happy Birthday, Sam! 🎂
Something I have heard of but have never tried making is beurre manié (French "kneaded butter") to thicken a gravy. It's kind of a cold roux--you make a paste of equal parts by volume of soft butter and flour and knead them together, then add them to your hot liquid. It keeps lumps from forming. You can make extra and store it in the refrigerator for up to a month or longer in the freezer. If you make gravy frequently, it might be considered a convenience food!
I was going suggest just this, I do it all the time, works great especially when that gravy isn’t quite thick enough.
Jennifer, I love your videos! I'm a 63 year old woman from scratch cook, baker and love making desserts. My Dad passed away April 6 (I'm my parents caregiver) Dad was my taste tester, idea maker, lol. I've been watching some of your cooking videos, and I was able to bake a red velvet cake and actual a whole meal ( with veggies). My mom and hubby have been so sweet. It had been so hard, but I wanted to say thank you
I’m sorry to hear your dad passed away. It takes time to settle into a new normal; I’m glad you’re getting back in the kitchen. It’s a great creative outlet.
I’m sorry for the loss of your dad ♥️
I’m truly sorry for your loss I was my oldest sister caregiver until she passed😢🙏🏾❤️
I pretty much love your videos no matter what you're doing Jennifer. I appreciate that you make them longer than some of them that are out there. I am tired of living in an abbreviated rushed world so I enjoy being able to listen to a longer video. How you manage to upload the longer ones is beyond me given your limitations there. Know that it is appreciated.
The grocery hauls help me to know little snacks and things that might be out there that I can have too, the food ones are always fun for me even if you make something you've made 40 bazillion times before. Those help to establish the basic structure of life. The homeschooling ones bring me great joy as I see the family learning to learn. A lifelong desire to learn is what makes for true education and for a degree of satisfaction that non-learners wouldn't understand. I just enjoy listening to you. I find your voice soothing. During periods of terrible stress such as I'm under right now with a an illness that's taking a while to treat, it's very nice to find one of your videos and put it on to be soothed. Now I know the kids are going to roll their eyes if you read this to them. They're going to roll their eyes and go "Puhleeze" but that's their job for now. One day they will understand. Thanks a bunch.
Dinda (?), I’m so sorry to hear of your illness and pray you recover quickly. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment; I appreciate you watching.
🙏🏾❤️
Thing is my grandparents lived to over 100 and late 90s and crisco was a staple - like eggs were bad pepper etc
When you laughed about telling details of your family’s dinner routine as if we’d be bored by it I laughed too. When I watch your videos I always think of it as were on the phone catching up - and you talking into the camera the way you did in this video made me feel like we were FaceTiming each other. It was nice 😊
That's exactly what I'm thinking when I'm filming....as if I'm talking to a friend.
So great that on your journey to healthier eating you are also educating us! We have been lied to with food pyramids and the like, so what you are doing is so important and could change people’s lives for the better/best! Thanks, Jennifer!!
Li3d to about what exactly?
Check out the latest food pyramid put out by the powers that be, for starters. Then look at the research on seed oils, corn syrups and sugar. A good place to start is with the whistleblower Calley Means, and his sister, Dr. Casey Means.
We love all your vlogs.❤ keep them coming we appreciate you all.
Hi Louisa, glad to have you here.
I like your kitchen ceiling (tiles).
Thank you! 😊
Lol, Crisco is on my shopping list this week. I have a couple of older cookie recipes which call for it.
Happy Birthday to Sam. Can't believe he is already 20. Seems like yesterday he was Peter's age riding on his dirt bike and learning to drive his truck. All your meals look fantastic! Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
Cook my ribs the same way, low and slow. I still use crisco, a lot of recipes wouldn’t be the same without it. I just made an angel food cake, my family loves it, I’ve never tried a box mix, with the cost of eggs and how good yours looks going to give it a try.
Warren’s birthday came just a few months after we married and I had a lot to learn in the kitchen. I knew my grandma would make angel food from scratch and then make a golden yellow cake with all the yolks. Anyway I was reading the directions in the old Betty Crocker cookbook and it seemed like more than I could do so I called my mother-in-law asking for pointers because she made Angel food a lot; that’s when she confided that she always used a boxed mix and that’s what I’ve done ever since.
Baked potatoes in the crock pot? Wow this is wonderful. I have got to do this. I never even thought about it but it makes so much sense. You always have the best recipes and you make cooking look fun. I'm very much trying to make cooking more fun, honestly I've had to do it for so long while working a full time job. That is what cooking felt like another full-time job. I enjoy your videos and I get inspiration from you. So thank you!
You are so welcome! And thanks for watching.
Always enjoy your videos, Jennifer 😊
Thanks! 😊
Loved the video!! I was sitting here when you couldn't remember if Sam liked icing on his cake or not yelling yes Sam likes icing!! The reason I remember is because angel food cake is one of my favorites!! This video was just regular family eating...the way it happens for most of us!! Love yall! ❤😊
Yep 👍 you’re right he likes the frosting. Have a great day.
Enjoyed the chatty meals, always!
Thanks for the idea about kabobs! I’ve been struggling to come up with east meals not to heat up my house!
An evenig spent with you is always entertaining and informative. I love your realistic approach to life, and as such, your videos. Keep being your beautiful self, and do have a wonderful week.Much love from your Trinidadian friend. P. S happy,happy belated birthday, Sam!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Hello all the way to the other side of the world. I hope you're having a nice summer.
I love that Maria always has a song in her heart❤
Hi Joe you always make me smile. Love these chatty cooking videos
Love your videos….always waiting for the next one! I appreciate the low carb info…..working on eating healthier.
I love the quilted look you added to the cranberry bars!
I think cranberry jewels on top that quilted look would be beautiful also.
I will add a whole cranberry to the top of each one when I package them for bake sales. It looks pretty and keeps the satan wrap raised off the frosting.
I have both of your cook books and just love the vlog you are open and honest and the fact you love Jesus warms me to my soul!
Great video as always awesome content!!!
Blessings from IN 🙏🙏

It’s 65 in July? I can’t imagine. Although I’m jealous. 😂 It’s close to 100 degrees here and the humidity is terrible. My mother in law will make a hash gravy where she boils pork chop and makes a gravy to serve over rice. It’s so yummy.
We had a few hot days and now it’s in the low 70s again. Stay safe in that heat.
We add about a half tsp. Worchestershire sauce to the box Mac and cheese and it really takes it up a notch. It an ingredient in my husbands family homemade Mac & cheese recipe.
Jennifer it’s 100 Degrees here in Philadelphia Pa. I am so glad it’s cooler here I love watching you make your meals or baking sweet Friend God bless you All 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂💐🌹🍀🌺❤️💜💗💙🌹💐
Anxious to try your roast recipe❤❤
It's so good!
❤❤happy birthday Sam. All the meals looked wonderful. I have never made potatoes in the crock pot; I will have to try that method so as not to heat up the house on these hot days. I am Catholic but have never heard of TotallyusMary. (Spelling) Thank you for sharing. I will ask about it at my church. I don't have young children but sounds beautiful. May you be blessed. ❤
You can smash your flour into your butter then it add in very well. No lumps at all.
You are doing great with your low carb and working out! Thanks for the great info. Always love your vlogs.😀
I just really enjoy your wholesome content! It’s fun to see how someone else does all the things. Also, your voice is very nice and calming.😊
Thanks for watching Kendra.🫶
I can see weight loss in your face! Good for you, its so hard sometimes!
I love Crisco frosting! I make it for certain things and always will. Jennifer I always love to watch you cook! I love your cookbooks too! I’m waiting for the next pot holder party.
She’s working on it; making one a day.
Another great one! I will have to try the roast, so simple! The kabobs also looked delicious.
Science teacher Jennifer came to the video. ❤❤
Yes she did 😁
Loved seeing you use a beef roast from Custom Meats, in Marathon, my home town! Hope you all have a blessed day💕
Hi Connie, I love Custom Meats!!
I love roast cooked that way.
Same❤just might give this one a try looks delicious
Everything looked so yummy. I love the way you cook. Where did you find an arm roast? You never see those anymore.
It was one of the cuts available when we bought half a beef steer.
I love doing beef roasts the same way you did. So yummy. I so enjoy "visiting" with you and your family. Most of my family is gone now so I live vicariously thru yours. ♥️
I absolutely love roast just haven’t had it in a while they look absolutely delicious may try it that way 🙏🏾❤️
Good video.😊
I love your videos and I do benefit from them because it gives me ideas for meals. Thank you for sharing!
Your beef roast story was a hoot! Sounds so much like my house.
Happy Birthday to Sam. Love all your vlogs. I'll have to try the baked potatoes in the crock pot. Have a blessed day.
I completely understand the low-carb thing. I drink ketones, and it makes me feel amazing because it burns fat and not glucose. I love them!
Can you share the brand of ketones you drink?
@@acountrylife the ones I drink are from Pruvit :) I think other companies sell them, I'm not familiar with those.
@@amandaherrick9809 Thank you.
My 16 year old daughter has been making pies since she was about 7 years old. She uses a crust recipe that was my mother-in-law’s, her grandma whom she never got to meet. It has Crisco in it. I happily buy it for her to make her pie crusts and my hubby gets to enjoy a taste from his childhood. A little doesn’t hurt, IMO.
🥧💗🥧
Great video! Thank you, Jennifer!
How sweet of her to serve her family in that way. 😊
@@acountrylife 💗
Happy Birthday Sam! 🥳 🎊 Your growing up so fast. Jennifer all your meals look delicious. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!! 😊
Hi Jennifer and sweet family!
Happy Birthday Sam! 🎂🎁
Your cranberry bars always look so delicious and I love cranberries.
I bet Joe is getting good on his guitar.
Everything looks so delicious.
I hope everyone has a very blessed week!
Thanks. Have a great night.
i think meat tastes 100% better left for a day or two, the flavours marry so beautifully xx
Happy birthday Sam I hope you a great birthday God bless you Cathy 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿💙
I am jealous watching you cook, as we are in a hotel for the foreseeable future (until we can find a house and close on it). It looks like you all have been having a lot of fun so far this Summer and putting the blackstone to work! How is Sam 20 years old already? Time flies! Take care, y'all!
Enjoy eating out; you have a lifetime of cooking ahead of you and in a new kitchen…hopefully one you’ll love.
Excellent video Jennifer! I just love watching you cook and I use your cookbooks often. Hello from Northern Minnesota. ❤️😘🙏🏼☀️
I appreciate that Nancy.
Room temperature water is much better for you when eating...ice water negatively affects your digrstion
No way can I drink warm water. Yuck. Ice water won’t hurt you
@@nancyfarkas3592 Room temperature is not warm...ice water with meals hinders proper digestion...nothing yucky about it
Thanks for sharing Jennifer. I so look forward to ur videos. X
I do baked potatoes in the crock pot, but never wrapped in foil. Just a tiny bit of water in the bottom. Might try foil to see if it adds anything.
The kabobs look delish.
Don't you have a wedding or two this summer?
I should try crockpot potatoes without the foil. How many hours do you put yours in for?
Make a rue w it’s butter and flour add to your gravy to thicken

Hi 👋 from Washington state 💕
Happy Birthday Sam 🎉 🎂 🎈
Look at you in your baggy shirt! I too have lost about 35lbs and i have gone through a coupke wardobes already! Its so satisfying to be able to shop several sizes smaller but jeez, i get sad to keep moving out of so many cute, but too big, clothes!
That is awesome! Keep it up Teresa. The weight isn't coming off as fast this time around as it did when I first tried low carb in 2015. It just melted away then, but I'm still very satisfied with the results because I feel so much better.
Love your family. Great videos!, Have a great week❤️😊
Each to their own of course but the best method for weight loss I have found is intermittent fasting. I don’t eat after 7pm at night, have one meal at dinner and eat what I want during that one hour window. I only drink water or black coffee as everything else will break your fast. Well there’s a few drinks like green tea that won’t but I don’t like that.
Happy Birthday Sam welcome to adulthood (it’s rubbish)
Intermittent fasting works for so many people, but I haven’t been successful with it. I’ll share your adulthood thoughts with Sam 🤣
I don’t see how earring only during certain periods is enough. Water and coffee can’t sustain you for hours on end
60° sounds heavenly. It's so hot here, we can barely breathe, ugh.
Thanks to your tips, I have almost perfected gravy :-)
Love these videos! You do so well editing. And stop it girlfriend, you're a natural beauty!
Hope Sam had a birthday as special as he is! He chose our favorite foods and cake as well
It’s been hot here too. Saturday, the crockpot beef roast day was so hot and humid a heat advisory was issued. I don’t mind it, but I don’t have to be working in it. Gravy is finicky so way to go; it takes a lot of practice and my grandma would say plenty of salt to make it good.
Grandma's are always right! Hope it's cooled down a bit for y'all
Carbs are needed for energy. They are not all bad for you.
I get my carbs from vegetables.
Hi Jennifer. Happy Birthday Sam. Everything looked delicious. I do not eat mushrooms, so I do not use Cream of Mushroom soup in my meals.
I interchange cream of mush and cream of chicken quite frequently depending on what I have on hand.
Hi Jen i always enjoy your video's, i am a long time off on low carb person too, i keep low carb tortillas around, my favorite are the extreem brand but they are expensive but now i find them at the dollar store, i think they are 6 grams of carb. There are now other brands too, Aldi even has some, i also buy Rays no sugar added BBQ sause taste great. God bless you and family
Smart move to keep those on hand.
Thanks for sharing , love your videos
Always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Jennifer, I'm doing low carb, high protein/ dirty Carnivore. So far I lost 15 pounds in 2 1/2 months. I've tried so many diets, All failed. I do have sparingly dessert too. And the next day I weigh myself, I still lost a pound or ounces. FINALLY I'M LOOSING WEIGHT BY MYSELF!
I'm excited for Sam's wedding coming up. ❤
Great videos has always.
Question: how long does cranberrys so good in the freezer?
*Stay good in the freezer
I’ve kept cranberries in my deep freeze chest freezer for 2 years and they e been fine to bake with. It’s Nick who just got married. The video will air tonight.
❤
Always love your videos ❤
That was a long roast supper story❤😂 😊
Great video!! And yummy recipes!! 🌸
delicious meals!
Great video!
Eating habits sound normal to me! Lol
another great video as usual.
Thanks again!
Always get value out of your videos!
Omg yum.
Please do tell me does wild turkey tastes wild like version.
We do not see much of turkey in South africa.
Yes. It has a stronger flavor and very lean.
I enjoyed this video 😀
I'm so glad!
50 -60 carbs a day is a lot. One carb is 15 grams. The nutritionist told my husband he should have 3 carbs per meal (45 grams) plus 1 carb for morning, afternoon, evening snacks totalling 3. For the day that is a total of 12 carbs a day. That is 180 grams.
One gram of carbohydrates = 4 calories. I don't count calories, but I do keep track of my carbs and all my research shows that 50 grams of carbohydrates a day works for me.
@@acountrylife that doesn't make sense. Fifty grams of carbs is slightly over 3 carbs. That equals approximately about 1 and 1/2 slices of the average bread.
❤❤❤ Hi Joe!
Hi Joe!!!😊
I am so paranoid of cooking anything that doesn’t have an expiration date. I have friends that do canning but how do I know how long the stuff is good for? I mean like turkey broth can that stay good if you can it for a year?
Most canning lid boxes say the food is good up to 18 months.
I'm wondering if you can can turkey like you do chicken??? Like how you raw pack the chicken and can it exactly the same!
Yes. Turkey can be canned raw pack style.
😊😊😊
❤❤❤❤
Hey from WV
I remember u making popsicles but I can’t find the video can you share it again
It's from 6 years ago and wowza do we all look young. Here's the link ruclips.net/video/wvS6-A0Dw4U/видео.html
I love your videos, but honestly. I'm not sure where you're getting your information from. I have a degree in nutrition and a 2000 Calorie diet recommendation is Based on your individual health needs.
And is always to have between 45 and 60 gm of carbohydrates daily. 275 gm of daily carbs would send your blood sugar off the charts, and you would end up with horrible diabetes., so I would love to hear what source you are getting that information from?? If you resource the Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition, you would get much more reliable science based diet therapy info ❤
Hi Kathy, I copied and I'm pasting straight from the Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition website:
Recommendations for carbohydrate goals will vary from person to person. For someone who eats 2,000 calories a day, an RDN may recommend that one meal contains about 45 to 60 grams of carbohydrate - or three to four servings of carbohydrate. This may vary depending on how frequently a person plans to eat throughout the day.
It's recommending 45-60 grams per meal. Times that by 3 meals per day and that's 135-180 grams of carbohydrates per day, which for my body is way too many and causes my blood sugar to spike and the sugar cravings to increase. I share my situation and thoughts here on A Country Life and hope that those listening do their own research.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Did you mean the Iola car show?
Yes. Did I say something else?
@@acountrylife I thought you said Iowa the first time...but later I definitely heard iola
