Something Yummy for Saturday

The picture is of my grandmother, Sadie Cole and my aunt, Francis Dawson.  Both were wonderful cooks and I want to share a recipe from each of them.
We called my grandmother Ma. Most of her recipes were submitted to the cookbook by her daughters
Auntie was her sister, Ethyl Underwood Meeker.
