3 Ingredient Fudge


So much bang for your buck.

Whisk together 8 ounces heavy cream and 16 ounces sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
Chop 16 ounces chocolate (I used dark 72%), put in a heat safe bowl (glass or pyrex).
Pour cream and milk mixture over hte chocolate. Give it a minute to melt the chocolate then stir, stir, stir. 
Pour into a foil-lined (and cooking sprayed) 8 inch pan.
Cool in fridge 3-4 hours or overnight.
To cut, dip a long knife into hot water before each cut.



Don't be me and put this mixture near your computer, it's just not a good idea.








After the chocolate faces I strongly encourage you to try this:


Lots of bubbles, the sink and dishes are clean, and the children are clean without knowing it!

White Marble Dream Kitchen

You've seen a snapshot of the kitchen corner. That same corner with UV shades. Then I showed you a bit of it looking into the dining room. Here is the whole thing.










This is our coffee-making corner. My husband used to take a quick walk to coffee each morning, but now that we live way up the hill and have three kids to wrangle, that is pretty untenable. So we used a gift card and bought the Nespresso Pixie espresso maker  which he adores. It's pod-system so he can make once cup at a time. I don't need coffee, just give me the KitchenAid mixer and some muffins/cupcakes/frosting/cookies anytime!








The kitchen is my favorite room in the entire house. We splurged big time, amazing solid wood cabinets from Christopher Peacock Cabinets (with walnut drawers!), Calcutta Oro marble counters, polished nickel pulls, a killer 48 inch Wolf range, two (2!) Miele dishwashers, and the prettiest fridge and freezer ever (also from Miele). And, oh, it is so worth it.

Looking through the dining room to the living room (with deer head over the fireplace).

Doors closed.


And just because I'm in love with every single aspect of this room, I'll show you a few of my favorite drawers:

A walnut crescent knife block? Yes. Yes, please.

I love storing dishes in drawers, it's easier for my kids to help set the table and with no upper cabinets, the walls are free to have plenty of windows!


The wine glasses (I just buy them by the dozen from Overstock) are in a drawer in the island near both the fridge (for access to wine and champagne) and the dining room beyond.
