The Farmer Family Cookbook

Creamed Corn - Jenny Garrett

Marinated Mushrooms - Debbie McFarland

Coconut Rice - Janette Johnson

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

Baked Beans - Debbie and Jim McFarland

We have had this recipe from the early years of our marriage. Dorothy Farmer: This recipe has become a family favorite and has spread far and wide. There is no better recipe for baked beans!

Refrigerator Cucumber Slices - Dorothy Farmer

This is a recent recipe, but so good for those of us who like cucumbers!

Pecan Topped Sweet Potatoes - Debbie McFarland

This is a favorite of our family which we enjoy every Thanksgiving.

Green Bean Caesar - Marilyn Farmer

Marilyn says the recipe comes from Deb. Deb says it is Marilyn's. But anywhere you eat them they are everyone's favorite green beans! Debbie McFarland: The first time I had this was when John and Marilyn lived in Boise. Jim and I, Mattson and Jess came to visit them because we were thinking about moving to Boise. We went to Wienersnitchel's during the day, then that night Marilyn made these delicious green beans. I ate sooooo many of them and not knowing I had gotten food poisoning at Wienersnitchel's earlier in the day, I threw up and threw up that night including the green beans. I still love them. That can prove how good this recipe is!

Harvard Beets - Dorothy Farmer

A recipe I received early in my marriage which I made for my growing family often in the early years of their growing up. Janette Johnson: I always loved it when Mom made these! Remember when Gordon, Barbara's husband ate too many beets?

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.

Succotash - Debbie McFarland

Cauliflower and Cheese - Jennifer Crites

Stir Fry Beans - Heidi Farmer

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.
