The Farmer Family Cookbook

Chocolate-Dipped Pecans - Dan Crites

These can be used for garnishing pies and desserts, as well as for delicious snacking.

Christmas Fruit Cake - Dorothy Farmer

This was Jack's favorite!! A Christmas could not go by without making it. I found this recipe when I was a bride, so it has been around for many years. Jack liked it because it was so full of the candied fruit.

Chuck Wagon Tacos - Alyson Farmer

Chuck's Spaghetti Sauce - Jennifer Crites

Ask any child in the Crites' family the origin of this recipe. It has become a family joke because they have heard it a million times! Chuck was Dan's roommate in college.

Chunky Chili - Marilyn Farmer

This is a sweet chili. Dorothy Farmer: This is such a good recipe and slightly different than regular chili recipes. I entered it in a chili cookoff and won first place with it. It is GOOD!!

Cinnamon Apples - Dorothy Farmer

I found this recipe in a Kerr canning book and thought it would be something my husband, Jack, would particularly enjoy and he did! as well as other family members.

Cinnamon Craisin Cookies - Jenny Garrett

These have a great "fall flavor" and I love the cinnamon chips in them!

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Squares - Jenny Garrett

Cinnamon Raisin Bagels - Allison Farmer

Cinnamon Roll Cookies - Allison Farmer

Cinnamon Rolls - Dorothy Farmer

Janette Johnson: Mom was such a patient teacher in teaching her children, as well as her grandchildren, to cook. I remember Mom letting us help her with the rolls, spreading the butter or cinnamon over the dough. And of course we had to have the ruler out so we could measure each cut to make them just right. It was always a treat on those Saturdays when Mom would cook beans and cinnamon rolls.

Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake - Jenny Garrett

We love to make this for breakfast.

Classic Red Velvet Frosting - Jennifer Crites

This frosting was used on the Red Velvet cupcakes at Annie Crites' wedding reception.

Cloud Biscuits - Jennifer Crites

Dorothy Farmer: These are a family favorite. I have made them many times, especially for grandchildren. They stay moist for a longer period of time than the regular chocolate chip cookies.

Jenny Garrett: This is great to serve with kabobs or Chinese food.
