Some old recipes from my late mother-in-law’s own home cooked recipes:

Home-Made Coconut Bars

Ingredients:

6 slices day-old bread
1 1/3 cup chopped nuts (peanut or cashew)
1/2 cup grated coconut
1 can condensed milk

Procedure:

1. Trim crust from bread.
2. Cut bread lengthwise into quarters.
3. Mix nuts and coconut.
4. Dip bread stick into milk then roll in coconut mixture.
5. Place on greased sheet.
6. Bake in pre-heated 375 degree F for 10-20 minutes or until slightly browned.
7. Remove immediately from sheet and cool on wire racks.
8. Makes 24 pieces.

Kids will certainly love this when you serve this during snack time. At least as far as my experience goes.

Some tips I have learned in cooking eggs:

1. Fried eggs - always use medium heat because high heat crimps the whites around the edges.

2. Scrambled eggs - beat the eggs together with some salt and pepper (optional) just enough to blend the yolks and the whites. Over the low heat in a buttered pan stir them slowly. If they begin to thicken, stir them fast until they almost reach the desired consistency. Heat off and stir in some butter, cream or some herbs, if you wish.

3. Soft-boiled eggs - let the water boil in the pan before putting them in. Heat off, cover pan tightly and let stand for 5 to 8 minutes, (The eggs should be small and in room temperature because it takes longer for large or refrigerated eggs).

4. Hard-boiled eggs - drop eggs into the water before bringing it to a boil. Heat off and cover pan tightly and let stand for 20 minutes.

That’s as simple as I can make it.
