I remember asking my granny to make a note of a few of her finest recipes. This was years ago around 1987. To today when I review among her recipes written in her own handwriting it makes me smile.

There were a lot of dishes she made with dumplings as well as noodles which originated from her mommy, Anna, who brought them over from the “old country.” Occasionally when I make these dishes I imagine my wonderful granny making the same dish.
