Mom’s Easy Fudge Recipe

I can’t imagine celebrating the Christmas holidays without one of my all-time favorite recipes! My mom’s homemade chocolate fudge recipe is basically the best fudge I’ve ever sunk my teeth into.

Easy Fudge Recipe

My mom makes this homemade fudge every single Christmas—and only at Christmas—and while every year she makes it to give as neighbor gifts, she always keeps a stash for herself, usually eating it for breakfast with her coffee.

Yes, it’s THAT good and yes, she is THAT smart to eat chocolate for breakfast. Hey, you only live once.

This fudge recipe is a family legend, and it originally comes from my grandma. But to me it’s all my mom’s. It’s rich, fudgy, and delivers a solid bite your teeth will easily sink into.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies truly are the best I’ve tried! They’re soft in the middle and chewy around the edges. Absolutely addicting!

The Best Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Growing up there was pretty much just a handful of cookies that we (as in the royal ‘we’ that would pretty much just be ‘me’) would make at home to satisfy the old sweet tooth. No-Bake Cookies, Sugar Cookies and Snickerdoodles were all part of the arsenal. But none got as much action as this oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe did in my teenage cookie craving days.

I’m pretty surprised it’s taken me this long to pull these oatmeal choc chip cookies out of the proverbial hat and post on the blog. But in reality, I’ve been giving this recipe the cold shoulder while I’ve been on the search for the ‘perfect’ chocolate chip cookie. You know, the one that makes me weak in the knees, the one that has me reaching for a glass of the coldest mug of dunkable milk.

After making these babies again for the first time in several years, I’m convinced I was looking in all the wrong places, and that like so many things in life, I had the ‘perfect’ formula in front of me all along.continue to the recipe… about Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

It hasn’t stopped rocking and rolling around here.

School just got out, schedules are in transistion, my husband is in full rehearsal mode with the band getting back together (oh Lord, did I just admit that is really happening?) and I just got back to town after an amazingly inspiring trip to Seattle for BlogHer Food. I did my fare share of blogger-stalking, business card exchanges and tweeting #overkill and met many of my fave bloggers and even more new faces I am so stoked to now/soon be following. And yes my pants are fitting a bit tighter. Damn Seattle has some good eats!

I’ll be doing a blog biz wrap up later this week and can’t wait to share the highlights. And BTW Austin, watch out  ’cause this bloggo bunch is headed your way next year.

Before I left for Seattle I was crazy busy with deadlines, all of that said above and most importantly our Smudge’s 8th birthday. I’m still not sure if my post-party hangover is from the night of 8 year olds who don’t know any other speed than full throttle or food bloggers who pretty much do the same.

Either way, they both created new inspirations for me. Like this ooey gooey concoction that thanks to requests at our house for more combinations of chocolate and banana, has yet to fade from the peanut gallery.

  • It’s a proven fact that everyone at the party loves a cheese board. It’s the centerpiece of nibbles and bites and small talk to break the party ice. But when you add a little heat to make a bubbly, oozey brie cheese dip, the party vibe definitely ratchets up a notch. This one's topped with cranberries, pecans, fig jam and thyme and IT'S SO DANG EASY!
