Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!

[MunichNark]

That's supposed to be an apple crumble, I see. It needs brown sugar and you dont mix the butter, sugar and flour with a fork but by hand until they are all small crumbly bits. No wonder it looks like she threw it up.

What is wrong with her that she cannot stop posting this utter shite every time?

There haven't been any photos of Dreck lately in law school, have there? Has he quit already or is he actually having to study?

Yeah, my attempt right out of college was an epic FAIL. It was so gross after I used it once that I set it in the sink and left it there for days. Then I just threw it out, and it had left a huuuuuge rust spot in my sink! I went out and bought some sort of rust remover, and can still see the spot where I had to use a lot of it when i look in the sink. Haha, good times! I'm thinking now that I'm older and wiser I might try again, but it makes me nervous! ???

She's also one of those 'instant obedience' parents that uses abusive control over her kids. She said in an interview that her kids have to ask to go to the toilet, and sometimes she says no and makes them wait, to remind them she's the boss, and there are times they'll be out in public, and she'll command them to stop walking and do something like take off their jacket, and if they dare argue, they get punished.

Cathy was probably picking up tips to pass on for controlling Izzy and Sam.

No wonder she was able to play the mean girl so well!

Girlfriend, I was a lot older than you before I discovered the joy of cast iron skillets. They are easy to care for, once you know how. And now I love them! I use them every week! Since Jilly has a hard time taking care of her own children, I doubt she can care for cast iron.

My mother always baked her fruit cobblers & crisps in a glass pie dish & they turned out great every time.

Her peach cobbler was my dad's favorite. It was basically dropfuls of a not too sweet shortbread type mixture  placed on top of sliced peaches. It puffed up all over the peaches.

I don't think my mom's recipe contained  nuts or oats but came out delicious as well.

She also had a peach cake recipe from a neighbor who got it from a bakery.The dough was placed first in a baking pan & sliced peaches were placed in rows on top of the dough. It had to be eaten the same day as it was baked. If not, the juices from the peaches would make the dough soggy. 

Thanks for the memories.

She doesn't even say how much cinnamon you need. 

[mynextmistake]

When I was a little girl my grandma had a chain-smoking, tough-as-nails friend named Phyllis. One day my cousin and I were talking about getting married one day and Phyllis heard us. “Girls,” she said, taking a drag on her Lucky Strike, “when y’all get married i’m gonna send you a cast-iron skillet. You just keep it on your stove. If your man ever raises a hand to you y’all pick that up and swing. Going to the law about a man don’t teach him nothing except you can’t take care of your own business.”*

Phyllis died before I got married, and my husband has never once raised a hand to me, but I do have a cast-iron skillet. Every time I look at it, I think of Phyllis and wonder what kind of life she had that she thought of sharing that advice with a couple of six-year-old girls. And at night when I pray, I always hope Phyllis ended up somewhere where things are peaceful and she can keep that skillet on the stove where it belongs. 

*Obviously I am not endorsing spousal abuse in any form by telling this story.

Disgusting.  Glad she is kind of a nobody these days so she doesn't have people listening to her.

I never had cast iron skillets until we bought the house we are in now, six years ago. I had never really heard of them back in the early days of my marriage as we had always had electric stoves/ranges throughout  my entire life and especially when the glass-top electric ranges came in, cast iron was the last thing you would want to cook on. We had gas power for two years back around 1994/5, when we lived in California, but we were not there long enough for me to bother adapting any of my cooking methods.

I adore my cast-iron skillets now! And as far as apple crisp, I've made that forever, but can't even imagine using as insipid of a recipe as Jill's here. I don't think I've EVER seen a recipe which doesn't call for oatmeal, and, frankly, don;t even understand why a recipe is even needed....six or seven sliced apples coated with sugar,cinnamon, maybe a dash of nutmeg and a bit of flour, topped with a mixture of melted butter, oatmeal, sugar, cinnamon, and enough flour to make it a bit crumbly, then baked until bubbly.  Maybe a dash of salt in each of those components, but overall, it's really hard to mess up, and once you have made it a time or two, you can just throw it together without bothering to measure anything.

This is, by far and away, the most pathetic excuse for apple crisp I've ever seen...I would imagine that someone with  almost zero experience in the kitchen (maybe something as basic as just being aware that flour thickens juices) who has ever eaten apple crisp more than a couple of times could put together a better recipe simply through instinct.

[Zella]

I honestly thought the "apple crisp" was some sort of disgusting meat dish and not a dessert. 

[jcbrown]

I actually prefer apple crisp without oatmeal in the crumble but I would not eat JillyMuffin's pile-o-crap. Agreed it is missing brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, and a rudimentary understanding of cooking.

[cmr2014]

Maybe she could try  sandwiches? She could buy some nice crusty bread from a bakery and stack up some bacon and fresh lettuce and tomatoes from her garden? Maybe she could manage that without making it look like a vomitous pile of garbage?

Cinnamon is not even listed as an ingredient. It just pops up randomly in the instructions.

[BradandJanet]

In honor of Jilly-poo, I asked my husband to make apple crisp. It's moist, sweet, brown, and crumbly. The work of this dish is preparing the apples. Other than that, making a good topping is no harder than throwing random slop on it.

That's an awesome story. I don't know what it is about cast iron skillets, but they seem to evoke warm or funny memories in everyone. My late grandmother taught me how to properly care for one, so whenever I pull mine out I always think of her.

Jill's made a lot of disgusting crap, but this is the first photo that actually literally triggers my gag reflex every time I scroll past it.

And would that much cinnamon spark a coughing fit, or would cooking dull the effect?

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the picture, my question is that looks like a regular what 8-9 inch skillet?  I don't think that holds the same volume as a 9x13 pan.  I know that would require more math skills that she seems to have, but why use a recipe that doesn't match the pan you are using......never mind....  Speaking of cast iron I have 3 that I absolutely love, a smaller one (maybe 4-5 inches?), medium, and a 13 inch one that I need 2 hands to use, plus a 4 qt. cast iron dutch oven.  It has only been about 2 yrs since I started using cast iron but man do I love them!

From wiki:

When Whelchel was ten years old, she became a born-again Christian and has devoted her life to her Christian faith.

Whelchel has been an outspoken member of the fundie community for years, even back on The Facts of Life, she was known to refuse to wear clothing she considered sinful and to resist Blair being given a romantic interest where she'd have to kiss another actor ala Kirk Cameron.  She runs an organization called Momtime Ministries, which, as it sounds, is aimed at fundie women and puts out the sorts of silly stuff we've seen Jill and Jessa and Jinger post.  She earns a nice living traveling around the country giving speeches at churches and Christian conferences about her life as a fundie mom of three.  She has also written a lot of books.  The most popular one, 'Creative Correction' is about childrearing.  In typical fundie fashion, she has absolutely no education or training in this area.  There was some controversy when it was first published because of the disciplinary methods she advocates; like giving a kid huge doses of tabasco sauce or other nasty tasting stuff for talking back.  And, of course, her most creative technique was to quote various Biblical verses justifying corporal punishment to her kids prior to beating them with paddles.  I think it's pretty obvious why Cathy and Jill think she's the shizzle.  Great Christian stuff.

ETA: her ex is associate pastor of one of the big fundie megachurches in LA.  It's never been definitively proven, but rumor has it that both of them had multiple affairs which lead to the demise of the marriage.

I'm guessing, no. I'm not sure how she could turn a BLT into a beige vomitous pile of garbage, but then I've always thought apple crisp was a pretty fail-safe dish. I know I've defended her cream of whatever casseroles, but holy spit, how does she manage to make every friggin recipe she posts look so unappetizing? This is probably the true reason Derick is so skinny. Just looking at her food makes him gag and/or puke.

I'm pretty sure those are Jill's original pictures. The countertop in the uncooked pictures matches the countertop in the Banana video. Plus, only Jill would so proudly post an obvious "fail".

I feel like we're missing brown sugar in all this. That seems like a lot of cinnamon. 

That's what I was thinking too.  Heck, you could jazz it up and use chai spice or five spice powder instead of cinnamon.  I also was wondering how you poured a crumbly topping over the apples.

[Nysha]

I found Jill's next recipe. Someone shared this to a Facebook group I belong to:
Comforting Chicken Noodles Crockpot

2 cans cream of chicken soup, 2 cans of chicken broth, 1 stick of butter, 1 pound of chicken breasts, and a 24 oz package of egg noodles.

Put the chicken in the crockpot and dump the chicken soup, chicken broth, and butter on top. 
Cook on low for 6-7 hours. 
Shred chicken, return it to the crockpot, stir in noodles, and cook for another hour.

The poster suggested serving it with rolls and bagged salad.

I just realized that to really Jill it up, I'll need to replace the chicken breasts with 2 cans of cooked chicken.

This would be a pretty good Jill recipe. It should serve 20, if the cans of broth are big enough. I like that it doesn't have any of those vegetable thingies in it.

My mother has a great baked chicken casserole recipe with similar ingredients (minus the butter) that is a family favorite.   I can't imagine why Jill's recipe calls for a STICK of butter. That must just melt & pool on top. YUCK!

It's a talent, I guess.

Her proportions are all wrong; too much sugar and butter and not enough flour in her crumb topping. 1 cup sugar, 1 stick of butter and 3/4 cup flour will result in a soupy mixture that would need to poured rather than sprinkled over the apples. That's why the topping looks so thin and nasty. It would have been better with oatmeal and brown sugar, but even white sugar, flour and butter would have worked if she had actually LOOKED at it and thought "This is too runny, it needs more flour."

She brought that vomit inducing crumble to feed to her beloved Joy Joy? Are those spring rolls at the front of the table? Can’t imagine the Duggars eating them. I’m very surprised Jill knows the word splendid and used it in the appropriate context.
