My grandma Lois passed away 10 years ago but I got to spend 20 years with her so there are a lot of things that I
remember about her. I remember one time that I went to visit her and she gave me $5 to leave...or at least that's the way I tell it. In reality she had the house to herself while Grandpa was at a Packer's game and she really didn't want company so she gave me $5 to get in line at the 2Mit stand 45 minutes before they even opened.
A few years after Grandma died my mom gave me some of her recipe cards and this is one of them. Everyone loved her vegetable dip and I hope you do too. I'll add other recipes as time goes on.

Matt's favorite cookies are Snickerdoodles so whenever I make them I always make a double batch...and they still don't seem to last a full week around our house. Lucky for me they are also my favorite cookie and I love making them. I started off with a Betty Crocker recipe but I've changed it quite a bit and have not seen another one exactly like this one. Hope you like them as much as we do!
