Wednesdays Unplugged – Mom’s Five Minute Fudge

“… how wonderful life is while you’re in the world.” – Bernie Taupin

NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It’s my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian ‘Quote Cup’ passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, along with an update and photos of what has been going on in our lives. I love trying new recipes…and love getting recipes you would like to share!

I am waxing nostalgic this week before Valentine’s Day. We lost our dear friend, Nita, this week… who sent me a card with this week’s quote for my birthday the week they lost their dear grandson. It still sits on my desk. My mother passed on Valentine’s Day 11 years ago and she is still close to my heart.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

This week’s recipe is in honor of my mother… her simple fudge recipe… sweets in honor of these sweet women in my world.
