Holiday Cooking

Now that fall is finally here I'm looking ahead towards the holidays and was so excited to find a new blog (overwhelmedwithjoy.blogspot.com) and a holiday recipe collection that you too can join in on. Check out the blog to get all the info., sign up and find out how you can post your own favorite holiday recipe. My choice is a family favorite and was even published in the latest Gooseberry Patch Christmas cookbook, it's easy, saves well for toting or gift giving and if you love eggnog you will love this fudge! Enjoy!
