  • Today's video is so much more than just a clean with me. First we clean, then we do some cooking, guests arrive for turkey hunting, we do some fishing, Peter vlogs for us with his Go Pro Hero (such great video quality), I sew and we attend a wedding. It was such a good few days. Homemaking in the country is never dull.
    CLEAN WITH ME As We Get Ready For Guests {and so so much more}
    Since I'm in the Kitchen aprons www.acountry-life.com/product...
    I share lots of day in the life family and mom vlogs. Today it's a little bit of everything around the house and on the go. Homemaking is best done with a happy heart.
    Why Did I Wait So Long? Homemaker Day in the Life
    Fudge Sundae Pie
    1 c. evaporated milk
    6 oz. chocolate chips
    1 c. marshmallows (mini or large)
    1/4 tsp. salt
    vanilla wafers
    1 qt. vanilla ice cream
    pecans
    Combine first four ingredients in medium saucepan and cook over med heat until everything is melted and thick. Cool. Line deep pie plate with vanilla wafers, then a layer of ice cream and fudge. Then repeat icecream and fudge again. Top with pecans and sprinkles. Freeze. Remove from freezer 15 minutes before ready to eat so it can soften just a bit to cut it. This was very good and I will definitely make the fudge again and simply pour it over ice cream and add toppings. It would be much easier than this. However, the presentation of this ice cream pie is over the top.

It’s your home - you do you and that’s why we 🥰 You are very much like us- very honest, a little forgetful and that’s only because you have a lot on your plate, and chock full of love. Merry Christmas! 🎄 Happy Fourth of July 🎉😂

    Y'all looked sharp for the wedding. Glad it was a beautiful day! I had to get rid of all of my house plants when I got a new cat. She would eat the plants and get sick. I did donate them to a local florist who was going to use my plants to help folks who needed an arrangement, but didn't have the money to purchase them. That made me feel better. I enjoyed this video very much! You really got a lot of cleaning done.😀

    I dilute my left over evaporated milk with water, at least 1-1 but if I need to I will even add a bit more water to have amount I need. I use this any time I need milk in any recipe. I have even add some diluted evaporated milk to my regular milk when I wanted to make sure I had enough milk for breakfast. Just be sure to add it the night before so it’s good and cold, I have done this for years and my kids never knew the difference! Just add your water to it and taste it, add water until the evaporated milk taste goes away and it just tastes like milk. Remember it’s just milk with the water removed so you are just adding it back!

    Hi Jennifer and sweet family! Your house looks beautiful and we all have missed a spot of dusting at one time or another.
    You might need to cut the evaporated milk with a little water since it’s a thicker consistency than milk.
    I do use evaporated milk but I add water to make gravy, but the evaporated milk makes a really nice creamy gravy.
    Too bad Peter didn’t find his turkey.
    Everyone looked so spiffy for the wedding.
    Hope everyone has a blessed night and week!

    My daughter works for a milk processing plant in the office doing schedules, programming and USDA requirements, she has told me that if you substitute evap for regular milk you should add 1/2 to 3/4 cups of water per cup of evap.
    Otherwise it's to thick and can make baked goods heavy and not rise correctly.
    It's called evaporated milk because a little of half the water has been cooked out of it before being put into cans and processed.

      I’ve been doing that, but the couch keeps moving even though I have rubber grippers under the feet. Then when someone pushes the couch back it bunches the rug. I’m forever bending over, lifting the leg of the couch and shoving the rug under. 😫

    Oh, I loved seeing the excitement over the ice cream pie. We've always felt that way too and also had the same struggle cutting it. I never noticed the cinnamon muffins recipe but seeing you make it makes me wonder if it is similar to the French Breakfast Puffs from the old Betty Crocker cookbook. Mom didn't make them very often (I don't either) because of the extra fuss dipping and sugaring them after baking. But delicious and such a treat. Thank you for the good tip about the evaporated milk. Glad the weather was better for the wedding but I bet the newlyweds never even noticed it in their happiness.
