Favorite family recipes from the Mennonite community cookbook by Mary Emma Showalter

Found this book at a garage sale, many years ago. The go to book for "Funny Cake" & "Shoo Fly Pie"! Very good! also Chocolate Chip Cookies and Oatmeal Drop Cookies. I have the hardback version from 2000 as well.. but, this little torn copy is the one that I go to most often for these special Mennonite recipes - Growing up in the Pa Dutch Country, it is great to be able to bake these home-made specials that taste better than store-bought!
