The Farmer Family Cookbook

Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats - Jenny Garrett

Pink Fluff - Josie Farmer

French Silk Pie - Marcy Howell

Blue Cheese Salad Dressing - Debbie McFarland

Barbecue Sauce with Spareribs - Linda Farmer

Dorothy Farmer: This recipe has been enjoyed by many. It was originally given to be used with spareribs, but it can also be used with pork chops, chicken, etc. The longer and slower you cook the meat the better it will be.

Mom's Christmas Fudge - Dorothy Farmer

Debbie LOVES fudge and her comment that you cannot hide fudge from her is all too true. One Christmas season when she was still living at home, I made a batch (5 lbs) early in the Christmas season and hid it away. You guessed it - Debbie found it and ate the whole thing! I made a 2nd batch and hid it in another place where I thought it certainly couldn't be found! Debbie found it!!! I finally decided to wait until Christmas Eve after everyone (especially Debbie) was in bed to make it the 3rd time that Christmas! Debbie LOVES fudge and this is a good recipe. I first received it from a girl friend (Dorothy Haas) living in Cody, Wyoming when Debbie was just a baby. I have modified her recipe into what I make now. It is a non-fail recipe and so easy to make! Debbie McFarland: Make sure this recipe gets in the cookbook. You cannot hide fudge from me!!!

Sweet and Hot Rub for Chicken and Ribs - Linda Farmer

Pico de Gallo with a Twist - Janette Johnson

Served at the Farmer Reunion in Mexico in 2007.

Marinated Mushrooms - Debbie McFarland

Fatty Balls - Debbie McFarland

The most important step of this recipe is that after these balls are made and frozen, you sneak them out one at a time and secretly eat the whole batch before they get served.

Nutty Oatmeal Cookies - Dan Crites

Oatmeal cookie with a very nutty flavor.

Sun Dried Tomato Dip - Allison Farmer

Secret to Buttercream Frosting - Allison Farmer

Add this to any vanilla frosting recipe and be prepared for the best frosting of your life!

Dry Rub - Debbie McFarland

Honey Butter - Debbie McFarland

We gave this out for Christmas one year to the neighborhood. I know you are not supposed to use raw eggs, maybe you could use eggbeaters or a similar product. I have always used raw eggs and never had a problem. But I also eat raw cookie dough!!

Caesar Salad and Dressing - Jennifer Crites

This is a favorite salad among my family and where ever it is served. The recipe comes from Dan's niece Stephanie Sundseth who is an amazing cook! Stephanie's family and her brother Bryan Crites have joined in many Farmer family gatherings. We all rave about her food! Stephanie Kreger: Stephanie Sundseth gave this recipe to my mom several years ago. While my sister-in-law CeeCee was in town visiting before Lon and I got married, my mom made this for dinner. CeeCee raved about "Jolene's" caesar salad dressing. Now, when we are in town visiting Lon's family, I often hear people rave about "CeeCee's" caesar salad dressing!

Kristin's Oil and Vinegar Dressing - Jennifer Crites

Green Tomatillo Salsa - Jennifer Crites

Mini Pizza - Mattson McFarland

Dorothy Farmer: This recipe was given to me, written in Mattson's handwriting, when he and his family were visiting when he was still quite young.

Frozen Corn - Dorothy Farmer

This recipe came to me from Thelma Perryman, who received it from our mother, Winnie Wold, who received it from her sister Neola Dayley, who was a fabulous cook, and down to our children, so it is a "multi-generational" recipe. It is so good - the key is to start with garden fresh sweet corn.
