00:00 "Well, this can't go in there right now. We're gonna whip the eggs."

00:04 "Oh darn it. Pardon me."

00:05 Jennifer Garner's mom, Pat Garner, is schooling her during an adorable cameo

00:10 on her hilarious Instagram video series, Pretend Cooking Show.

00:14 On Wednesday, the mother-daughter duo twinned in matching customized sweaters

00:19 as they made a very nostalgic dessert.

00:21 "We've gotta reveal our sweaters. I'm hardly ever without buttermilk."

00:27 A quote made famous by Pat Garner herself.

00:30 "We are making one of my childhood favorite pies. Where did we find them, Mom?"

00:33 "Southern Living."

00:35 "Which year?"

00:35 "1989."

00:38 "You can tell it's loved because the page is dirty."

00:41 "It's great with peaches, any stone fruit, berries.

00:44 Its genesis is Mrs. Clifford B. Smith Sr. from Whitehall, Maryland."

00:49 "Do you have it memorized?"

00:51 "Even when you've memorized something, it's good to check the original recipe."

00:55 "How old is this roll of paper?"

00:59 "It belonged to my mother."

01:00 "Oh boy."

01:01 "It's the only thing I have that belonged to my mother, except a quill."

01:06 The Yes Day star worked hard to follow the instructions while her mom supervised.

01:10 "Does that look okay to you?"

01:12 "It should be."

01:13 "Is that a stiff peak, Mom?"

01:18 "Yeah."

01:23 "We rub butter on it."

01:26 "Yes, we do."

01:26 "Go on the sides. Don't leave that."

01:30 "I love nuts."

01:31 "Now, you want to shape it like a pie crust."

01:34 "This is not our specialty, Pat."

01:36 "I'm not a pretty baker. Can I have a plain piece?"

01:40 "Take your finger and wipe off the spatula."

01:42 "Alexa, set the timer for 30 minutes."

01:51 Later that day, Jen also posted a precious throwback photo of herself

01:55 with a hand mixer for her birthday.

01:58 As their heartwarming show continued, the 51-year-old's special guest decided

02:03 it was time for a break.

02:04 "Okay, so Pat Garner went on a walk to close her rings."

02:08 "I'm gonna cut up some strawberries."

02:09 "Somewhere I can be alone."

02:15 "This is how my mom composts."

02:21 "Enjoy!"

02:21 "What's it for?"

02:22 "For the bears."

02:22 When she returned, Pat picked up right where she left off,

02:25 showing her daughter how it's done.

02:27 "I found that it cooks better in a cold bowl,

02:30 so I used metal bowls and I put them in the refrigerator."

02:34 "Do you know what happens if you whip cream too much?"

02:41 "Yes, ma'am."

02:42 "What?"

02:43 "Butter!"

02:44 In the end, the pair enjoyed a delicious breakfast.

02:46 "I'm gonna make a little bit of a pie crust."

02:48 "Okay."

02:49 "Okay."

02:49 In the end, the pair enjoyed a sweet treat together,

02:52 as Jennifer captioned the clip with the recipe and wrote,

02:56 "Summertime for the Garner girls.

02:57 There was always a garden.

02:59 Farmers markets were king.

03:00 We ate dinner on the deck my dad built.

03:03 And for dessert, we had mom's chiffon pie."

03:06 "It's kind of like eating this."

03:07 "Eating what?"

03:08 The mom of three's skills in the kitchen may come in handy for her busy kids.

03:14 In April 2023, she spoke to Access Hollywood about why she loves having teenagers,

03:19 while promoting her recent series, The Last Thing He Told Me.

03:22 Did you have an opportunity or is a part of your process to bring part of your own experience with

03:29 now teenagers at home, right?

03:31 To bring part of that to Hannah's real, her experience, your own experience?

03:36 I mean, you always bring yourself to anything that you do, right?

03:41 And the more that you live, and I think that's why I'm enjoying my job more and more as I get

03:45 older, as I have a lot more life to bring to it than I did when I was 30.

03:50 And so yes, of course, I bring having teenagers to the job, but it was much harder for me to

03:57 not be maternal than to use what I know to do.

04:01 I love having teenagers.

04:03 Can they roll their eyes at me?

04:06 Or yeah, absolutely, of course.

04:08 And they have every right to, by the way.

04:10 They need to be doing that.

04:12 They're right to be doing that.

04:13 It's a different thing with Bailey, because she just flat out doesn't like me.

04:17 I mean, it's just like, you again?

04:20 Yes, she just wants me to go away.

04:24 So that's a whole other ball of wax.

04:27 Well, I'm going to tell you something that I hope never goes away.

04:31 Okay.

04:32 It is you in the presence of my Instagram feed.

04:36 The you on Instagram, if there should be an award ceremony for Instagram personality,

04:43 people who we love on Instagram, you should win.

04:45 Oh my God.

04:47 I mean, we have this little thing on our show called Gramsplaining,

04:50 and you've got some Gramsplaining to do.

04:53 And I'm going to show you some images, and I want you to run us through what the hell

04:59 was going on.

05:00 Okay, all right.

05:01 This is my favorite, because it just reminds me of my own mom pulling up to school with

05:07 the hair and the rollers.

05:09 I was celebrating my Southern girl Reese Witherspoon's birthday.

05:15 I mean, come on.

05:16 Come on.

05:17 It was the tutorial we didn't know we needed.

05:21 She was like, "And then to finish it off, you got to ride back to school, you know,

05:25 roll the windows down."

05:26 You need to cool, yeah.

05:26 You got to cool the girls.

05:27 You take them out when they're hot, it's not doing any good.

05:30 It's not good.

05:31 Okay, I'm going to say this, and I hope that I can say it now on record.

05:36 If Selena Gomez can have a cooking show, I think it's time to take yours on broadcast.

05:44 Okay.

05:45 Okay.

05:45 This scenario, I just feel like watching you cook, I was hoping it was going to give me

05:55 some hope.

05:55 It doesn't.

05:56 I just redid my kitchen.

05:57 I was like, "Hey, there's no way I'm making none of this stuff."

05:59 But what is it going to take for us to get the real cooking show?

06:04 Would you do one?

06:04 You have it.

06:05 Would you do one?

06:05 It's there.

06:07 It's called the Pretend Cooking Show, and we have like 80 or something episodes, so

06:12 please enjoy.

06:13 Oh, my God.

06:14 I don't know if I can survive it.

06:15 I mean, I only do them when I'm truly going to cook or bake something.

06:20 Okay.

06:21 So you'd have to just be in my kitchen at all times.

06:24 Poor Mo.

06:25 Sounds like an invitation to me.

06:27 I'll be there Thursday.

06:28 Come on over, honey.

06:29 Yeah, no problem.

06:30 Okay, here's the last one.

06:31 And this was hilarious to me because I feel like springtime brings the best and the worst

06:36 of us out to the gym.

06:38 Oh, no.

06:39 What's it going to be?

06:39 Okay, here's the last one.

06:40 And this was hilarious to me because I feel like springtime brings the best and the worst

06:45 of us out to the gym.

06:48 Oh, no.

06:49 What's it going to be?

06:49 Okay.

06:50 Out to the gym.

06:50 Yes.

06:51 It was the jazzercise for me.

06:53 Oh.

06:54 It was the jazzercise.

06:56 Also, is it Zumba?

06:58 Is that just the-?

06:59 No, no.

07:00 It's a workout called The Limit, and it's very hard.

07:04 I did it at 545 this morning, and it's just hard.

07:08 It's a lot of plyo.

07:09 Thigh warmer situations?

07:10 Leg warmers, yeah.

07:11 Because you know what?

07:12 They keep your legs warm.

07:14 They're not a fashion statement.

07:17 They legitimately warm your legs.

07:19 My knees are old.

07:20 I love it.

07:21 I'm like, "My knees are old."

07:23 Well, I think the part of the caption of this was like, "For my kids' embarrassment until

07:29 they're 50."

07:30 You know what I mean?

07:31 Like, "Yes, this is what you do, folks."

07:34 Yes.

07:34 The part of the joy of parenting is ruining the kids.

07:38 Yes.

07:38 Oh, I've taken great pleasure.

07:40 Yeah, I embarrass them every day.
