Butter, Chocolate, Chocolate chip, Christmas, Evaporated milk, Fudge, Marshmallow, Recipe

I mentioned before that we are a week behind the rest of the world in celebrating Christmas so this week I am making all of my Christmas goodies! I forgot how fun it was!! I am not a big fan of fudge but after looking at some recipes I decided that I needed to add it to my Christmas food list. The recipe that looked irrisistable was Edie’s Grannie’s recipe from Life in Grace blog. I am dying!!!!! It is absolutely delicious!! I have already given the neighbors some! I feel so grandmothery!

Grannie’s Fudge

2 sticks butter
6 cups of sugar
1 can evaporated milk
1 (7oz.) jar marshmallow cream
18 oz. chocolate chips (2 1/2 cups)
2 tsp. vanilla

Bring butter, sugar and milk to a boil and boil for six minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in marshmallow cream, chocolate chips and vanilla.  Keep stirring until the mixture doesn’t run quickly off the spoon. (It requires a lot of stirring!) It should “collapse” off the spoon.  Then spread it in a buttered jelly roll pan.  After about 30 minutes, cut into squares.

Life can be very unpredictable and sometimes I never know what a week might hold!  I want to be ready for anything and I sure don’t want to miss any fun!  At the beginning of each week I try to make up a salad and a soup from our favorites file.  This way if I get a chance to spend time with my grandchildren, and I’m too pooped at the end of the day, I have something to fall back on.  if someone drops by, I can come up with a delicious lunch that is already prepared, you get the idea… One of our favorites is this Chicken Salad.  Maybe it will become one of yours too!

Chicken Salad

4 cups cubed chicken (I tear mine)

1 1/2 cups papaya or seedless green grapes (I use grapes, sometimes red)

1 cup toasted pecan pieces

1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise (I don’t use low-fat)

1/2 cup vanilla yogurt

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon poppy seeds (I don’t always use these)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Combine first three ingredients in bowl.  Combine mayonnaise and next four ingredients.  Add to chicken mixture.  Stir gently to blend.  Chill
