Gizzards and Noodles
"We grew up on "cheap" food but this one has become a family standard for comfort food. The recipe screams for additions and variations but we just seem to prefer it plain. This is extremely inexpensive to fix and if you like gizzards this one is easy as sin to fix. My mother would make a big batch up and then use it as a "bribe" to get my sister and I over for lunch. Don't have to ask twice, Mom."

I remember chicken gizzards & noodles from when I grew up in the 40's. These are delicious, but I like to thicken the broth to make a gravy and serve over noodles. A childhood favorite! -
When my sons were little guys and with only one income I prepared "cheap food". My boys called this dish Lizard Stew. Even today as grown men they talk about Mamas delicious Lizard Stew. If available, I added chopped celery and a boullion cube to make it more flavorful. Sue -
I never knew what a wonderful rich flavor chicken gizzards give to a broth! I should have known as giblet gravy is a great favorite of my family. I changed this recipe just a bit. I added about a cup of cooked chicken breast. Wonder rich comfort food. Thanks so much for posting, Cloudtears!

Hi! I just completed my fifth move in five years and I swear they will have to haul me out with a backhoe. Actually though, one more move and then I am entrenched. Amazingly, after going cross-country, I ended up 17 miles down the road from where I started.
I have four children, all grown, and nine grandchildren, six girls and three boys. I have been single for almost five years and was getting used to my solitude when I moved in with my daughter, son-in-law, three granddaughters. Now, what was that I was saying about solitude.
I recently was granted Social Security Disability and made it through on the first round without a lawyer. I was in shock. Getting used to not being on the employment cycle is tough but it does give me more time to explore Zaar!
I am a vorocious reader of all things, even cereal boxes. I collect rocks and anything Native American. Except for three years in Georgia, I have spent my whole life in the Pacific Northwest and wouldn't trade it for anything.
