Family Recipe Friday: Chocolate or Vanilla Spritzkuchen Cookies with Fluffo!

June was very good friends with a couple of Mary's,

so I am not going to guess which Mary this recipe is from. 

All I know if that they sound like good cookies to make for Easter. 

Or anytime!

And here is another recipe for FLUFFO!  

Maybe I should have just designated this as

FLUFFO week!

It just cracks me up.

(You can use Crisco instead of Fluffo.)

Sounds like a dog's name!

Or instead of "Here kitty, kitty."...

"Here, Fluffo!"

Thinking of Easter...

Fluffo would be a fantastic name for any Easter chicks or bunnies.

If you get live ones that is. 

Someday, I will have to get a good laying hen

and name her Fluffo! 

Have a good weekend everyone! 

Fluffo Jam Sandwich Cookie Bars

Word of the day:

FLUFFO!

This was a new one to me.

Maybe I'm just dating myself,

How many of you have ever used FLUFFO?

How many of your grandmothers have ever used FLUFFO?

You should ask them!

These jam sandwich cookies sound like a precursor to

a power breakfast bar. 

Not anything you really worried about

back in the days of

FLUFFO!

While you're at it though...

don't forget to take off the paper before you bake the cookies!

ANd for more tidbits on FLUFFO, do a search on youtube....

Nowadays you can probably use Crisco shortening instead. 

Nut Apricot Bars from Lavinia Lohrmann, Stephenville, Texas

Yesterday I gave you Hamburger Dip for March Madness games...

today I give you Nut Apricot Bars! 

If you have any room left after pigging out on the the Hamburger dip,

you might want to have these ready! 

I am going to make these soon to send up to my son in college...

I never knew Lavinia Lohrmann, but she must have been quite a character.

She was a good friend of my mother-in-law, and my husband was good friends with a son of hers.

(That was long before I entered the scene!)

If I remember correctly, she served as mayor of

Stephenville, Texas (Erath County),

was a founding member of Faith Lutheran Church in Stephenville,

and owned a ranch, among several other endeavours. 

Stephenville is creating a Memorial Nature Trail in her honor. 

She must have been quite the cook as well,

because she has several recipes in my

Faith Lutheran Church cookbook from Stephenville. 

I just love community cookbooks, don't you?

What is your favorite community cookbook?

Banana Bread

Forgive me while  I drool.

I can't believe I have no bananas in the house! 

I MUST get some.....
