Notes: In 1981, Mama asked me if I would like to submit some favorite family recipes in The Atkinson County Citizen newspaper. I submitted four and this is one of them. It has been a favorite at my church throughout the years. Check out my permed hair, compliments of Jamison Shaw Hairdressers in Atlanta! This was the pic that was included in the paper.
