Notes

I couldn't locate Judy's recipe, which I believe she got from Helen. I will make updates to this when I do. This recipe came from Alice King, who used to babysit Grace and KC. She cared for Grace from the time she was newborn until she was about 3. On her recipe, which she wrote, "Hope you like this. I know Gracie will."
