Some of Grandma's Recipes

I enjoy going through my grandmothers old recipes box and cooking some of her recipes. It always brings back memories of her as I read her handwriting and then taste the flavors I remember from my childhood. Here are a few of her recipes typed up just the way she wrote them:

Potato Soup 

Thinly silce 3 potatoes and 1 onion in covered bowl add 1/2c. water, cook 8min stirring a couple of times. Add salt, peper, milk and butter to taste and heat 1 more minute.

*I am not sure what this means the first word is faded, but appears to say "use". So I just mix it all up and then drop on the batter in cookie portions onto the cookie sheet and then bake.

Good Applesauce Dessert

Fill small ovenproof bowls with applesauce, top with a mixture of flour, brown sugar and butter (equal portions of each) and a dash of cinnamon. Place under broiler until topping is browned and bubbly.
