Cookie Butter Fudge
As a big fan of cookie butter, this seemed like a (not-quite) solution to my habit of eating spoonfuls from the jar. Now in a solid form, it's even more addicting!
Angel's Old Fashioned Beef Stew
Beef chuck stewed with potatoes, carrots, celery, onions and beef broth for a homey favorite. The aroma that permeates throughout the house while the stew is simmering doesn't do it justice..delicious.

I learned to cook many things from my grandmother. One of the family favorites was noodles, however Grandma taught by handfuls and pinches of this and that. I since have tried to convert to US measurements. My grandmother would be 102 if still living.
