GRANDMA'S BROWN BREAD (GRAHAM BREAD)
A very old-fashioned basic quick bread using graham (or whole wheat) flour. My Grandma made it at all holidays... hence the name. She was born in the mid 1880's and probably learned the recipe from her own mother. I had to write it down by standing at her elbow as she made it! Since there is no shortening in this recipe... I recommend whole milk... but skim also works. Make sure to use baking soda... NOT baking powder. Bread is moist, dense, and flavorful.

MY GRAMMA'S GRAHAM BREAD
This recipe is from my dear gramma and written in her own handwriting. She's been gone since I was in high-school and so it's near and dear to my heart. The original recipe states "no eggs or lard". Lard you say???? Is that something that you buy in the store.?? ETA...since some aren't able to find graham flour too readily. There is a recipe on Zaar for a sub...Recipe #377353.

HEART-SHAPED CAKES (LITTLE HOUSE)
These cakes are a cross between shortbread and sugar cookies. They are brown on the outside and pure white on the inside. This recipe comes from "The Little House Cookbook" by Barbara M Walker, and the cakes were part of Laura and Mary's Christmas stockings in "Little House on the Prairie."

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and nutmeg.
- With cold fingers (dipped in cold water and dried), rub the cold lard into the dry ingredients.
- Make a well in the center, add buttermilk, and work with one hand into a dough that can be rolled out.
- Dust rolling surface with flour. Shape the dough into a ball and roll it out into an 8 inch circle.
- With a table knife dipped in flour, cut the circle in half, then the halves in thirds, to produce six equal wedges. Shape each wedge into a heart.
- Grease baking sheet and place hearts on it so they do not touch. Bake for 15 minutes, until cakes are puffy and nicely browned.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle tops immediately with sugar (the crystals will melt slightly and stick).
- When cool, wrap with blue tissue paper, the traditional wrapping of white sugar crystals, for gift giving.
