Today I decided to do a favorite recipe of mine each Wednesday.
I found myself driving home and the only thing that I could think about [correction: the only I could think about in order to not think about Josh starting boot camp today] was making my Grandma Marie's Famous Homemade Chicken Soup. Then, I got a craving for corn salsa and chips [recipe to come in a later edition]. It hit me pretty hard...it's easy....and it's cheap! THEN...after the thought of soup and salty chips and corn salsa, naturally I would need sometime sweet. Thus, the magnificent thought about fudge [again, in a later edition].
So. I made all three.
Ya, that's right....all three of those things in a matter of 3 hours.
My apartment smells....A-MAZING!
I have very fond memories of going to my Grandma Marie's house and smelling the aroma of her chicken soup throughout the whole house. The signature piece of grandma's soup wasn't the homemade broth or the perfectly tender chicken, but the alphabet noodles!!! For some reason, it has never tasted the same with different noodles. It wasn't too long ago that I made this for my college friends and searched high and low for alphabet noodles. After a hour of searching, I finally found it at the local grocery store and of course stalked up on them. It's just a must!
So today, I share a recipe with you that hasn't been given out to many people.
But in honor of my Grandma Marie, ENJOY!

Mmmm, sounds yummy! You're a great cook my cousin!
I texted you today, but I'm wondering if you got it...
You are cute! You can come to my house anytime and make it ;-)
Where did you find the noodles. I think my kids would be thrilled with adding that to an already favorite.
I couldn't find it at Wal-mart, but I did find them at Wood's Supermarket. So maybe a local grocery store...not a HUGE chain like Wal-mart. Good luck!
