It was definitely time for a FREEZER CLEAN-OUT!! I found all kinds of good stuff in there and made a lot of delicious meals and treats for my family. Every now and again I need to force myself to do this and make meals from the things that get pushed into the back of the freezer. What's lurking in your freezer that you need to use up?
BLUEBERRY CRUNCH COBBLER
1 1\2 c. flour
1 1\4 c. quick oats
1 c. brown sugar
1\2 c. melted butter (next time I'll melt it)
6 c. fresh or frozen blueberries, I rinsed my frozen blueberries and only had 4-5 cups and they still turned out great and everybody loved these.
1 c. sugar
1 c. water
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
1\4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
Vanilla ice cream or Cool Whip
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, oats, br. sugar and butter and mix together until crumbly. Press 2 cups crumbs into ungreased 9x13 pan. Place blueberries over crust. In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, cornstarch and salt; cook over medium heat stirring, until mixture thickens and comes to a full boil. Turn off heat; add vanilla and pour over blueberries. Sprinkles with remaining crumbs. Bake 50-60 minutes until blueberries are bubbling and topping is light golden. Serve warm or cold.
Chicken wings, cheesy potatoes, rhubarb custard dairy bar, and cranberry bread are found in volume 1 of my cookbook. Blueberry muffins and Kentucky potato soup are in vol. 2. They can be purchased here. acountry-life.com/shop Thank you!

Hi friends! I'm Jennifer, a fifty-something wife and mother of 7 children ages 9 - 25. We are Catholic. We homeschool. We cook from scratch. We farm cranberries. We drink coffee. We advocate for Down syndrome awareness. We are loud. We are chaotic.
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.

It’s satisfying to see you empty the freezer and make meals with the food you have. You make some great meals!

@karenkissick6884 Год назад

I love what Mothers Day means to you and I praise the Lord that he gave me the opportunity to be a mom.

@kathysparks6338 Год назад

Thank you for reminding us to check out what is STILL in the freezer and needs to be used, its a good way to save money on the next trip to grocery store. So nice to see Maria giving her momma a hug..so sweet. Love and Prayers from Indiana. God bless.

@beccam507 Год назад

You are motivating me to do this with my upper freezer! There's so much random stuff in there. Sometimes it's just easier to shut the door and forget it, especially since I have four young kids and lots of other things taking my attention! Thank you for all the encouragement and inspiration that you give to us younger moms... I think your channel is one of the best on RU-vid! I've been watching for years 🤗

@sharontavares6258 Год назад

You cook like my Mom did. Nothing is wasted. She felt Jesus gave us this food. You are a true blessing to all of us and your family. Sharon Pismo beach California PS my mom passed in 2014. Everyday I tell her I love and miss her.

@rough-hewnhomestead5737 Год назад

Just last night my daughter and I emptied one freezer to allow it to thaw so that it can be cleaned. We moved some things to another freezer, but we also cooked a huge pot of home grown and frozen green beans with some frozen ham steak for seasoning. It was pretty nice to unplug that empty freezer! Your videos often bring me a little peace when things are chaotic. You're real. I like that! You work hard, love your family, and get a lot done. I like that, too! God bless!

@ifthecreekdontrise Год назад

The hug

@acountrylife Год назад

I feel the same and it's always nice to meet someone with those same values.

@faithrada Год назад

On Mother's Day... never a bad idea to TEACH children to be grateful for all their mothers do. Gratitude is a powerful lesson. That Mother's so often do serve their children should NOT be taken for granted... EVER.

@Vixxen___904 Год назад

My favorite kind of video! I really need to do this with my deep freezer 😩

@acountrylife Год назад

Go for it!!

@stephaniecamplin9212 Год назад

Absolutely loved your opening statement about being a Mom and serving them. As we had a cookout on Mother's Day,as I did the cooking. My 3 daughters are why my life is has so much value. P.S as a Butcher here in Ohio, NOTHING wrong with a little ice on your products in the freezer.

@acountrylife Год назад

That's helpful info because I've had a few comments about icy food and wondering if it's still good. Thanks. Happy Mother's Day (a little late).

@deidrecruickshank7975 Год назад

Well done on clearing out that freezer. The blueberry muffins and cranberry bread, and the luscious looking rhubarb custard bar looked delectable. 👌

@acountrylife Год назад

Sounds like you like sweets as much as I do. 😊

@lindascott6637 Год назад

I love cleaning out the fridge/freezer! Sparks my creativity and i don't waste.

@kimmccarty1524 Год назад

Happy Mother’s Day Jennifer you are a Great Mom ❤️

@megm4940 Год назад

Love these kinda freezer/ pantry cooking videos! I recently cleaned out my kitchen fridge & freezer & now we’re working on a meal plan for the deep freezer!

@faithrada Год назад

A 'clean out the freezer' dinner can be a great adventure. 👍

@alexalivingston2048 Год назад

I love that you saw the frosted food but did not waste it! So inspirational and thank you for being a good steward and no wasting food. New subscriber

@acountrylife Год назад

Welcome Alexa. Thanks for watching 😀

@christileach4644 Год назад

Jennifer - I really enjoyed this video. Sometimes I don’t always enjoy using up bits and bobs, but I *am* of that certain age 😀 and to me, it’s part of being a good steward. Thank you for sharing! ❤ xo

@acountrylife Год назад

I don’t really enjoy the “use it up” either, but like you said it needs to be done.

@jeannebrown484 Год назад

Well this was fun!!! Some of those green peppers and jalapeño peppers would bread great in cornbread or corn muffins. When you add corn,bacon and cheese they are like a mini meal.

@UghUgh1234 Год назад

I looooove these types of videos!!!

@martiestes8932 Год назад

The emptying of the freezer is a job well done! I have lived in Ky for 56 years and never heard of Ky potato soup, but it sure looks good! I love cooking soups with ham bones and ham hocks, the flavor is so good. The amish store we have locally sells the fat from the country hams they serve, and it is so good for flavoring as well. I can't wait to get in the garden to pick my green beans with a big ham hock this summer. All your food and desserts looks so good. Thank you for sharing. Love your cookbook!

@acountrylife Год назад

It's funny the names we give recipes. Sounds like your garden is really coming along.

@mamofoneteen5178 Год назад

I cannot bare to throw out food. We have a saying, ‘look after the pennies and they’ll look after the pounds’! I freeze all sorts, half an onion, even the outer skins they add great flavour and colour to stock, fresh veg that’s about to be a bit over, again for soup or stock, those jelly type stock cubes, a little bit of red wine, it’s great for casseroles, even part of a can of pineapple, fresh herbs at the end of summer. Your freezer is your friend. I’ve made croutons today after a ‘failed’ sourdough loaf, they taste amazing. It’s a fantastic message/tip you’re sharing Jennifer.

@meganmkinney 11 месяцев назад

Great meal ideas and I appreciated the jokes at the end! :-)

@matthewhottle4948 Год назад

The icecream sandwich had me laughing out loud!!😂😂😂

@hello_0768 Год назад

Good morning Kelly. Thank you.

@nakita1959 Год назад

So somehow I missed this video happy Mother’s Day to a great mom❤❤❤❤

@rubytaylor4566 7 месяцев назад

Loved it, using up what we have in our freezers is a good thing, sometimes when I start looking in my freezer I have so much I like you I start pulling out food to cook and it works very well and the food is good for use and very delicious. Thank you Jennifer, you made meals that word simple to make and very very delicious from my view.😊❤🙏🏻 Ms. Ruby

@juliewright1895 Год назад

Great video, Jennifer! I snickered at your jokes!!😂

@tracegates8841 Год назад

OHH that is so cute, whichever of your kids visit you first gets that special little loaf.. I also tell either of my kiddos.. you were my "first friend" today so you get to have this special treat.

@whitneydial8847 Год назад

I love a good gathering of the fragments!❤

@soniaibarra1926 Год назад

Blessings and have a Great Weekend Jennifer. 🙏🌷🌻

@Whatsthedeal106 Год назад

Omg those blueberry 🫐 muffins look perfect and amazing! 💕

@reginalancaster5626 6 месяцев назад

Isn't that fun to see what you can do with what you have?? I love doing that and it was great to watch what you came up with. Very impressive!!

@acountrylife 6 месяцев назад

Yes! It’s amazing the good food that can be made when we put our mind to it.

@susanbenton8181 Год назад

Loved it. Thanks for sharing all those recipes. That bread looked awesome. I could just taste it. You have such s beautiful family.

@papillonlover8161 Год назад

Thanks Jennifer. You can stuff jalapeños with cream cheese or dice them up in rose wine.

@chrisquastad7104 Год назад

This has inspired me to do a freezer clean out! Memorial weekend will be a great time to start. Thanks so much for this video and all of your awesome videos!!!

@patriciamcintire Год назад

Maria's eys are just gorgeous, I think she takes after you Jennifer, loved this video, Igot alot of inspiration from it,Have a great weekend .

@irasemabiggs6434 Год назад

Jennifer, love this video. Please make more like this one. Blessings

@mariakoufalis1487 Год назад

WOW Jennifer, one of your best videos. Great job and fabulous editing.

@acountrylife Год назад

Thanks; I appreciate that.

@brandibrockway3479 Год назад

I love to shop from home. Thanks for sharing .

@SchnauzerMom Год назад

I went to the thrift store recently and bought a vintage crockpot because crockpots nowadays cook way to hot. It’s actually from the late 70’s to early 80’s. It works so well. It actually slow cooks 😊

@acountrylife Год назад

Yes, I agree. I got a Westbend slow cooker as a wedding gift and loved that so much. I had it for about 20 years before the base was dropped and cracked. That was a sad day.

@debgordon6542 Год назад

I still have my original Crock Pot from when I married in 1987. Have only had to replace the top. Found one on EBay in the Vintage section. She's still going strong, me... not so much lol

@vickisilcox936 Год назад

Maria is truly a natural beauty

@kathycourington4748 Год назад

Thank you for the inspiration, as always... Love your videos!

@suziekrieger4110 Год назад

I enjoyed this video! We all have scraps in our freezer we need to use!

@monicamontoya1578 Год назад

I really enjoyed this video! Now, I’m wanting to do the same with my freezer! Gonna try the gummy bear joke on my kids! So adorable and I did chuckle at your “comb over joke! God Bless to your family! Love your kitchen Madonna on the counter. Warmed my heart. I have one too!❤

@acountrylife Год назад

Maybe I’ll have to start adding a joke to my videos.

@yvettegerry9862 Год назад

Great video loved it ! Thank you for sharing 🌸⭐️🌸

@natashawilliams7139 Год назад

Im sure i can smell the cranberry bread cooking 😊😮

@christieflesch3750 Год назад

Great video it gives me inspiration to use stuff in my freezer thanks ☺️

@EggFeathersHomestead Год назад

Ooooh! That soup would be good with some beans as well 😋

@janetgrigoratos9318 Год назад

I empty an entire big tomato paste into a gallon ziplock bag. Smoosh it flat and freeze it flat. When I need some tomatoe paste you just break off what you need!!

@acountrylife Год назад

Another viewer said that, too; I love that idea.

@sarahlarson1082 Год назад

The rhubarb dessert sounds amazing!

@cindakellogg1307 Год назад

Jennifer, I thought you had a food saver?? I am so funny about frozen stuff covered in ice...guess you proved me wrong! HA

@thewoodenspoon9679 Год назад

I loved this video! I’m trying to do the same with several freezers right now! Loved your ideas!

@karenchakey Год назад

I need to do this my frezzers have stuff in it that need used up..thanks Jen God bless, Maria such a doll baby

@mnchop8503 Год назад

I loved this episode! I think it would be fun to see you make Italian Dunkers for your family. Yes I say Eye-talian too! These were always a favorite growing up and on the school lunch menu. Just make garlic cheese bread on French bread and slice in serving sizes. Dunk in leftover spaghetti sauce! It's a fun way to remake leftover sauce. Have a happy Memorial Day weekend, Brockman's!

@acountrylife Год назад

Ooh, I'd be all over that. Sounds so good.

@donnastratton8397 Год назад

When we have spaghetti, I prefer to dunk the garlic bread in the sauce instead of the noodles. I'm all about the sauce. 😂

@ubwaterman Год назад

Really enjoyed this video!! Love this channel. Sher.

@Anna_3367 Год назад

❤ I love your videos! Great inspiration 😊

@nancyculp6968 Год назад

You can use the jalapeños into a pepper jelly to serve over cream cheese with crackers or you can pickle them and you can use them in chili, Mexican cornbread which would be good with your soup.

@tammyr2966 Год назад

Thank you for the inspiration to clean and use what’s in my freezer! You made so many good meals! I was thinking, you could make a black bean, corn salsa, with those jalapeños and cotija cheese! Great for backyard barbecues! You are such an awesome mom! Maria is so sweet with her hugging mom at the end of this video! Our kids, is definitely what Mother’s Day is all about!

@annehoyle3581 Год назад

I giggled at your "fold over, comb over" joke. I love seeing anything you make using cranberries.

@acountrylife Год назад

🤣😂🤣

@debbieembury6885 Год назад

I love rhubarb anything!

@chrischarbonneau8873 Год назад

I loved this video. I like quick ideas. Less waste with food. Most meals are usually the good ones with little ingredients.

@reginastephens935 Год назад

This is a very inspiring video!

@anniem2675 Год назад

Such a great video, thanks 💜

@lizmelia7545 Год назад

Great video loved it 👍

@rhondasyberg2498 Год назад

Thanks for this. I found bologna and tater tots in the freezer for lunch today. Fried bologna on the last piece of bread and the heals(ends) of the bread put together like a club sandwich.

@acountrylife Год назад

Perfect and no waste!

@cherylagnew5980 Год назад

Happy Mother’s Day ! 🥰♥️.

@donnabradshaw5200 Год назад

I recently did the same thing. It took me nearly three months, but finally both my freezers are pretty well used up. Great video!

@acountrylife Год назад

Time to restock now.

@debgordon6542 Год назад

I love these videos. You give me so much inspiration and make me "creative cook". Thank you :-)

@Sarah_Emerald Год назад

Tip for leftover tomato paste: Put it in a baggie and press it down into a roll using the edge of your counter top...then when frozen, you can just break off a Tbs at a time!

@acountrylife Год назад

Super tip! Thanks.

@cumberlandquiltchic1 Год назад

I buy tomato paste in the tube, but I don’t use a lot of it… it ends up being a savings for me with no waste. I think it’s a good idea about freezing though.

@beverleypicard2116 Год назад

Hope you had a restful and relaxing mothers Day .

@acountrylife Год назад

It was wonderful. Thanks.

@MidwestGirl Год назад

Thanks for sharing!

@lanagraham1661 Год назад

Thanks for the inspiration! I need to check out my pantry areas, too, in addition to the freezer. I loved your jokes, Jennifer!😅😂

@CindyKinney Год назад

That ham bone soup looked delicious, Jennifer.

@acountrylife Год назад

The soup was very good. I didn’t make it into a creamy soup and I’m glad because it was so good the way it was.

@jloh1999 Год назад

Loved this video!

@roxannegray2796 Год назад

I like that lid.

@patricebagwell4366 Год назад

Thanks to you, I inventoried my indoor freezer, wiped it out and started a meal plan based on those items. Thanks for the inspiration and help saving money!!

@acountrylife Год назад

That's awesome. Well done!

@WillowsGarden Год назад

Hi Jennifer and sweet family! I think you could take shoe leather and make it look and taste good. Have a blessed day!

@tracegates8841 Год назад

Oh Jennifer, my family never laughs at my jokes either. I steel myself and forge on, just like you.

@robins5880 Год назад

I keep a whiteboard on my freezer to keep track of how many packages of meat, veg and fruit we have.I add or erase a tally as I use them. I have bins for everything so it’s easier to find, I’ve been wrapping things in parchment and storing in silicone bags so less waste

@acountrylife Год назад

You know what my kids would do? Add and subtract tally marks. I just know they would.

@mollysmith6055 Год назад

Loved this video! But it took me half a day to watch it because every time I sat down at the computer hubby thought of something he wanted to discuss, haha. This was definitely inspiring and it got me to use up the ends of a bag of shredded cheese, one leftover pork country rib and a good handful of chopped red bell peppers from the freezer. Along with a couple of potatoes chopped and air fried and scrambled eggs it came up to be a quick Denver scramble/hash for late breakfast. We have a side by side fridge and the freezer compartment is huge...I've never managed to make much of a dent in it yet. I keep trying though. Hope you are having a great week.

@mgdee8286 Год назад

Loved this video!! More please! Love and prayers from Melody in text❤️🙏🏻🤠

@valeriemendez2540 Год назад

I would like the recipe to Blueberry muffins. I like watching your channel. Here is a tip when you ever do any cobbler you have to have the butter at room temperature otherwise you are forever trying to get it softened it's too much work.

@nancyculp6968 Год назад

You can cook your cranberries into a whole cranberry sauce, then turn it into a gelatin salad with jello. Top with a dollop of cool whip.

@terrinewell3044 Год назад

I love to clean out my freezer that way. I often make a casserole with a bit of leftover spaghetti sauce, some roasted red pepper soup that didn't get finished, a couple of sausages or even hot dogs, some frozen diced peppers, whatever seems to go together. Add some pasta from the cupboard, put it in a casserole dish with whatever bits and pieces of leftover cheese are in the fridge...even those plastic-wrapped cheese slices, and cheez whiz! It never seems like just leftovers reheated. If I have leftover frozen hotdog or burger buns, I will thaw them and spread with homemade garlic butter and toast them up in the oven to go with. So good!

@db33400 Год назад

I found a slick way to freeze rhubarb. And strawberries for that matter. I wash the rhubarb and cut it. Then lay on a towel to partially dry it off. When fairly dry I lay on a sheet cake pan and flash freeze. I just lay the strawberries on a pan and flash freeze without washing or cutting up. When frozen I put each fruit individually in bags so I can measure exactly what I need without having to thaw a big lump of product out. Congratulations on all you got done! God's blessings.....🥰🥰🥰

@db33400 Год назад

P.S. I wash my ziploc bags too. 😀😀😀

@lynnebrown-hardy1566 Год назад

Awesome job clearing out the freezer and making all that amazing looking food. Thanks for the inspiration.

@carolynmills513 Год назад

I'm inspired. I so need to do this. I keep moving the same packages over and over.

@kimeverhart6253 Год назад

What would we farm girls do without our ovens? 🤷🏼‍♀️😉🥰 Ps…your freezer holds A LOT OF FOOD!! What a great job you did of cleaning it out and feeding your family several meals and goodies from it!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@A Country Life good morning how are you ☺️

@noreenp.9858 Год назад

Many of us could all eat out of our freezers and pantries for awhile. I always like to reinvent food and not waste. Sometimes it can be a fun adventure in cooking. I like to meal prep on my days off as I work full time. Thanks for this video. Would like to see more like this. My tip for berries that aren’t bad but maybe soft and not enough for pie and you don’t have time: I cook them with some sugar and a little cornstarch until it thickens a little. Great with some granola on top or over ice cream or pancakes.

@cynthiafrance6741 Год назад

thank you always for sharing , have a great day

@wendyzimmerman6002 Год назад

Good work I have my freezer full it would take me awhile to clean it out

@marydrew2583 Год назад

Watching you take out your freezer food, can't help notice the amount of freezer burn in every bag. Amazon sells very reasonable priced seal-a-meal or food saver with bags and you could vacuum pack all your items that will keep them longer and no freezer burn. Just 'sain'.......
