Jennifer Garner's lookalike mom Pat Garner joined her daughter for a sweet recent Instagram video posted on The Adam Project star's personal account. Taking to the family's kitchen in order to film the video as part of her work as an ambassador for the company Kitchen Aid, the 51-year-old actress' mom stole the show as they baked her childhood favourite recipe chiffon pie.
In the caption of her Wednesday post, Jennifer announced that her mom was her latest guest on her "Pretend Cooking Show" as they came together to celebrate their close at home relationship and Jennifer got nostalgic for her early years living with her family. The actress, who shares three children of her own with her ex-husband Ben Affleck, began the Pretend Cooking Show series in 2017.
"Summertime for the Garner Girls: there was always a garden. Farmers markets were king. We ate dinner on the deck my dad built. And for dessert, we had mom's chiffon pie," Jennifer recollected on her post. "Mom's pie had an irresistible crunch:chew ratio… and the filling – peaked whipped cream with berries and/or whatever stone fruit smelled fresh at the fruit stand – absolute summer heaven."
Pat, now 85, raised Jennifer in Charleston, West Virginia, along with her two sisters: Susannah, who is the oldest of the three daughters, and Melissa, who is the youngest. The proud mom and grandmother whose full name is Patricia Ann Garner has made several prior appearances on her daughter's Instagram.

Jennifer and Pat used a recipe for chiffon pie from a 1989 edition of Southern Living, which the Juno star revealed was well loved by showing off the stains which were present on its pages. For fans interested in getting involved and baking their own version of her childhood treat, the Hollywood star also shared the full recipe in her Instagram post.

The Last Thing He Told Me star also revealed that her mom's composting method was a little unconventional. While standing in her family's large looking garden, she threw some leftover strawberry heads into some trees beyond yelling "Enjoy," before clarifying they were: "For the bears," rather nonchalantly.
