As I alluded to the other day, Mom found a church cookbook at our local junk store. The book(let) was assembled by the parishioners of the church directly across from my house. See…
You know who was especially excited about this recipe book? Silver/Sylvia. Tranny cats are big potluck fans. Betcha didn’t know that!
You can click into my FLICKR account to get bigger files to print. OK, without further adieu…a selection of old school church recipes from upstate New York:
The Best Sugar Cookies…
Soft Molasses Cookies (note: my Mom adds day old coffee to her version!!)…
Banana Cake (note all the Authors, do you think there was an *issue*??!?)…
Blueberry Fruit Cobbler (I think I went to high school with her son!)…
Pumpkin bread (and I think I went to school with her son too!)…

AWESOME! I am SO making some of these!
I always wanted to live across from a church. But, you know, I’m a bit of a dork that way…

I’d be willing to bet you’re right on target with the Banana Cake recipe. Don’t be fooled–little old church ladies can stand their ground when it comes to recipes. I’ve seen the drama firsthand (sure, it was 20 years ago, but these things stay with you forever!)

I love that cookbook, it reminds me of the few I have from my grandma. Lots of oleo. Gotta love the oleo. My kids have no idea what that is and it cracks me up.

I will make the pumpkin bread this weekend and report back. Or the sugar cookies. Hmmm….decisions, decisions…
How much do you love these kinds of cookbooks? I can’t pass them up. Love that the church is right across from you, too.
Is there a recipe in there for banana falsies? BU-WA-HAHAHAHAHA!
