These recipes have been collected by family and friends for many years.  I can remember my Grandmother "Mawmaw" formally known as Etta Rogers making many of the recipes listed.  Some are so old they don't have specific instructions.  I've found listings such as moderate oven, no mixing instructions, etc.  Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions and/or comments.  If I can't answer your question, I'll do my best to find someone in the family who can.
