The Farmer Family Cookbook

Dreamsicle Punch - Jenny Garrett

Mandarin Orange Salad - Winnie Wold

Dorothy Farmer: This is my mother's recipe, and one that I have enjoyed over the years. Jennifer Crites: A visit to Grandma Wold's house wasn't complete without this, one of my favorites!

Creamy Salsa Chicken - Jenny Garrett

Strawberry Chocolate Cookies - Alice Johnson

Janette Johnson: When Alli was 3 1/2 years old she loved creating recipes. She started her own "My Family Recipes" cookbook. I am kicking myself for not saving all of them...but I did save a few. Here is one using some of her favorite ingredients. I was amazed that she got many of the right kind of ingredients, even though the proportions are a bit off. I just wrote what she told me.

Barbecue Pork Sandwiches - Heidi Farmer

Crock Pot Roast - Heidi Farmer

Water Chestnuts and Bacon - Heidi Farmer

Skinny Alfredo Sauce - Katie Pond

Slow Cooker Roast Beef - Thelma Perryman

Dorothy Farmer: Thelma served this one time at a dinner in her home. It was so tasty, I asked for the recipe. So easy to make for a Sunday dinner, because you can start it cooking early, forget about it, come home from Sunday meetings, open the door and smell the delicious odors of a roast beef Sunday dinner just waiting to be eaten!!

Ham Hocks and Beans - Dorothy Farmer

I couldn't go without writing up my recipe for ham hocks and beans!! My family was raised on them and it could easily be said that it was Jack's favorite meal served over homemade bread!! Jennifer Crites: Don't forget the apple cider vinegar poured on top of the beans and buttered bread!

Bird Egg Beans - Dorothy Farmer

Another Farmer recipe I married into was how to cook "bird egg beans". These are a dried bean larger than a pinto bean, and speckled. These had been canned according to directions in the Kerr canning book for dried beans and the Farmer family grew these beans in their garden. Debbie has also grown them and gave them as gifts to the family one Christmas season.
