Here is Anne’s recipe for basic non-dairy fudge. I just had a piece, and it was delicious.

Non-Dairy Fudge

3 cups non-dairy semi-sweet chocolate chips (Cost
1 can coconut milk
1/8 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 dropper of liquid Stevia (Sweet Drops is Anne’s favorite)
1 1/2 chopped walnuts (optional)

Open coconut milk and drain off 1/4 can of the separated, clear liquid. Put chocolate chips, remaining coconut milk, and cocoa powder in a sauce pan. Heat on low until all is melted. Stir continuously. Add Sweet Drops and vanilla. Stir well. Add chopped nuts if desired.

Pour into 9 X 9 square pan lined with parchment paper. Let set in refrigerator overnight. Will be solid at room temperature after that.

 

Here are links to recipes to Jolene’s favorites, Balkan Meatballs and caramel rolls.

Jolene and Anne took a trip down memory lane by unearthing Anne’s favorite dress up from the old costume box. We hope these pictures give you ideas of how to stock yours.

#12 The Long Winter Begins

by Jolene Philo & Anne Fleck | Home Again

[powerpress]

This episode is named after Laura Ingalls Wilder’s book The Long Winter. We highly recommend the entire series for reading aloud to kids, though winter is not the time to read The Long Winter. Save it for when the weather improves.

Anne also mentioned The Enchanted Chronicles, Dealing with Dragons series as a good winter read aloud.

Jolene and Anne recommend these products for combatting depression when the long winter begins:

Finally, here’s a list of DVDs that make us happy in winter:

  • Parks and Recreation
  • 30 Rock
  • Longmire (rather dark)
  • Gilmore Girls
  • Parenthood (Anne thinks this one is too emotional)
  • Psych
  • Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries
  • Father Brown
  • Pushing Daisies
  • The Mary Tyler Moore Show
  • The Dick Van Dyke Show
