I was recently gifted old cookbooks from my great-grandmother a lot of them were from the great depression era and what perfect time during this crazy inflation we are facing right now. I’m so excited to share some of my favorites with you all.
What You’ll Need

Any pasta will work, I like to use macaroni pasta

Frozen works best but fresh or canned can work as well.

Heavy cream or half and half will work
Chicken Broth
