Recipe of the week: Iced Vanilla Coffee and Sunshine Coffee Cake



                Iced Vanilla Coffee
  Fill glasses with crushed ice. Add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and fill with coffee. Some folks will prefer to add a bit of sugar. This is one of my favorites. You don't need cream or sugar, just enjoy.




  Betty Groff's newly revised and illustrated Country Goodness Cookbook is a virtual cornucopia of family recipes and home-spun anecdotes. This 326 page soft-cover edition has seasonal menus, common sense cooking, and microwave ideas. As an added bonus this book is autographed by the author.
