Unlocking the calendar...
I always associate winter with specific dishes and desserts more than any other time of year. As a child, I would eagerly kneel on a chair to see what my mom was making on the counter. The counter would be filled with an assortment of ingredients that I slowly began to recognize as the the years moved forward but the recipes remained the same–powdered sugar, vanilla extract, yeast. When I got a little older and no longer needed a chair to see over the counter, I, along with my brother, began to help my mom with the cooking and baking she always did at this time of year. It was a cozy, comforting tradition during the darkest and coldest days of the year. We put a lot of love into making these recipes, and we bonded on our creations that we shared amongst ourselves and my dad.
Now, an adult in my own place, I make these same recipes to share the love with my friends, coworkers, and now with you. Attached, you’ll find some of my most loved recipes that you can send to friends or print. But! You all may have your own tried and true, beloved recipes that make you feel like home that you’d like to share with your friends and family as well. You’ll find a few recipe card templates attached for short (1-sided recipe cards) or long (2-sided recipe cards) recipes that you can print at home or at Office Depot.
P.S. If you make the fudge, you will have family and friends nudging you to make it again next year.
