The Farmer Family Cookbook

Sweet Potatoes - Jennifer Crites

We all look forward to Stephanie Sundseth bringing her awesome sweet potatoes to Thanksgiving dinner each year! This is her recipe.

Glazed Roasted Vegetables - Debbie McFarland

Succotash - Debbie McFarland

Cauliflower and Cheese - Jennifer Crites

Stir Fry Beans - Heidi Farmer

Twice-Baked Potatoes - Amber Silberberger

My mom Pam made these for us all the time because they were my dad's favorite! After all, we are from Idaho so potatoes were a must with every dinner!

Cheesy Mashed Potatoes - Amber Silberberger

My dad would make this every Christmas and we devoured it!

Creamed Corn - Jenny Garrett

Marinated Mushrooms - Debbie McFarland

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.

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.
