It's begining to look a lot like ChRiStMaS!

I really just LOVE Christmas and am having a lot of fun so far! This is our 2nd Christmas being married and our first time putting up a tree! Grandma Rolfson said she will no longer be using hers, so he offered to give it to us! On Friday night we got to decorate it! I love having it up! Thank you SO MUCH Grandma!!

Also, I have begun doing some BAKING!! This fudge is the EASIEST recipe and SO tasty!

Rocky Road Minute Fudge

3 Cups Chocolate Chips

1 14oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT Evaporated milk)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 Cup Marshmallows

1 Cup broken nuts (walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts)

1. Place choc chips and Sweetened Cond. milk in a 1 qt. microwave safe bowl.
2. Microwave 2 minutes on 50% power
3. Stir and return to oven for 30 seconds more. Checking and stirring every 10 seconds until smooth.
4. Stir in Vanilla, Marshmallows, and nuts
5. Pour into 8-9" foil lined square pan. Chill for 1 hour
6. Cut into pieces and wrap to preserve freshness

Today in Calgary, the snow came POURING down all day, so it now if feels even more like Christmas. One thing I like about Winter is that while the weather is cold and the roads are icy (like today) we get to stay inside, curl up under a blanket, and be cozy...and maybe eat some fudge!

Happy Holidays!
