Another recipe from my grandmother's kitchen. Interestingly enough, it's written by my mother. Also, I nearly ruined the first batch of cookies because the time to cook on the handwritten recipe is about two times too long! First, your ingredients: Combine sugar, eggs, and melted butter. Mix well. Add 1 1/2 cups flour, slowly. Add vanilla and pecan. Mix well. Drop by

While scanning recipes from my Grandmother's kitchen, I found a handwritten recipe for Coconut Macaroons. I'm ALWAYS on the look out for a better macaroon recipe. This one, though, is more like coconut meringues. Still a very tasty treat! Here is what you need. First, separate the eggs and beat the whites stiff. You will not be using the yolks in this recipe, but they make fantastic

As it is still 10000 degrees here in Texas, I wanted something fast that required very little cook time, and oddly enough, hot to cool me down. Sounds backward, but drinking hot tea or eating hot soup can help you cool off. While this met my requirements, it did NOT wow me.

If you have never had Farro (FAHR-OH) before, it's considered an "ancient grain." It cooks up similar to oatmeal and rice in that it requires a lot of liquid. 3 parts liquid to 1 part Farro.

Written as is, I think the recipe lacks something -- although, I used balsamic vinegar and not sherry vinegar. My neighbor suggested more acid. I could try a sharper balsamic or a different vinegar all together. What I did do was use the quick preserved lemons from the other day and that TOTALLY made the salad. Worth another try; and worth a play. I'd try mint in this the next time. From:
