Greasy loveliness...and goodbye

Alas, it is time for this recipe blogging attempt to end. Of all the things I am juggling this is at the bottom of the list. So I leave behind some food direction. Here are some yummy recipe links by people whom actually know how to cook, and post about it regularly.

I leave you with one last greasy meal as pictured above:
Fried sausage, Lipton Onion soup mix potatoes, and frozen veggies from Trader Joe's.

Grandma's Fudge

Due to exteme concern of the family's Top Secret stash of recipes, Grandma has requested that I remove the fudge recipe. I am told that never before have any of her recipes been shared outside of the family.

Grandma, I only hope you can forgive me.

Sincerely,
