Day 2: 12 days of #HopeforHeidiAllen

Today's recipe: Grama Searles' Magic Fudge

Meet my Gram Searles ~ the woman who instilled a love to bake and spend time in the kitchen AND to read.

Who inspired, or inspires you, to be the person you are today?

Prom...Gram celebrated the big and the little things with us. She emphasized the importance of family and togetherness.

Christmas morning at Gram & Nancy's was a moment we all waited for. The ham cooked all night. Upon arrival, the house smelled delicious and everyone came. The house overflowed with people, food, and love. A tradition I still cherish.

I found this gem of working in the kitchen as little one. I remember this so well. The power of a photo, I guess I always enjoyed being in the kitchen. Cooking is fun and relaxing.

Today's recipe is one of my Gram's from the Heidi Allen Cookbook. I am going to give it a try and praying for the best. As to date, my fudge making is less than adequate. To all of you who make fudge, kudos! Fudge is an art form.

​Maybe if I can pull of Gram's Magic Fudge, I'll give my Mom's fudge another try. Worse case, Dad has fudge sauce for his ice cream again. LOL
