A Letter from Grandma Lucia

1Dear Ana and Teo, I was so happy to hear that you are making a family cookbook! In this envelope, you will find six of my recipe cards. I wrote the titles on the cards in a hurry, so a few of them have capital letter mistakes. Please check each title before you type it.

2The first three cards are my winter favorites. There is Corn Soup for a Cold Night, which your grandpa asks for every December. There is also Green Rice And Beans, a dish my mother taught me to make. The third card is tortillas on the Griddle, because no dinner at my house is finished without them.

3The other three cards are for warm days. The Best Banana Bread is great for breakfast. Peach Jam in a Jar makes a sweet gift for friends. Last is Sweet Potatoes in the oven, which your mom liked best when she was your age.

4When I was in third grade, my teacher taught me a rule for titles that I still use. The first word and the last word of a title always begin with a capital letter. All the important words in between get capitals too. Short words such as a, an, the, and, or, in, on, at, of, to and for stay lowercase when they come in the middle.

5I cannot wait to see your cookbook. Maybe you can write a title for it, too! Love, Grandma Lucia
