Valentine's Day Candy Corn Fudge for the Homemaking Party

Welcome to the Homemaking Party!

I figured since I'm trying to eat healthier and lay off the sweets a bit, I'd put up this super sweet recipe to torture myself.

Hope everyone's having a wonderful week so far!

Valentine's Day Candy Corn Fudge 
(adapted from Something Swanky)

3 bags white chocolate chips
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
red food coloring

Line the bottom of a square baking pan with wax paper. (I used a 9x9) Melt all chocolate chips and all milk together in a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. When it's all melted and stirred together smoothly, pour 1/3 of the mixture into the pan and chill about 15 minutes. Add several drops of food coloring to the remaining mixture to make it a light pink color. You may need to warm it again to make it melted and smooth. Pour 1/2 of that into the pan on top of the white and chill 15 minutes. Add a few more drops of coloring to make the remaining mixture a darker pink, warm if needed, and pour the rest on top of the light pink mixture in the pan. Chill for 3-4 hours. Remove from pan and cut into long strips. Then cut those on the diagonal to make little candy corn triangles. Fudge does not need to be refrigerated after this---just store tightly covered.

Managing Your Health with Medication Refills #WalgreensRX #shop #cbias

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser. All opinions are honest and are my own.

My husband, Jamie, has been on medication for over 10 years now and I still have a hard time remembering to call in his medication refills! Almost every month, he ends up saying something like, "hey did you know I've only got one pill left?" Then it's a mad scramble to the phone, and later to the pharmacy, to make sure he can take it on time. I'm ready for some automated refill reminders!

While exploring Walgreens.com today, I discovered several great refill options and services to help me better manage his prescription. Jamie has suffered from migraine headaches since he was a young boy. There are a few things that make them come on, like trigger foods, lack of sleep, and stress, but they're mainly due to his blood pressure. In our early married years, he dealt with at least one debilitating migraine every week. They would be so bad that he couldn't work, drive, or even be in a room with bright lights. Finally, he was diagnosed with the blood pressure issue and given medication to keep it under control. Since then, he doesn't get them as often, and we've learned how to better manage them when he does. The prescription is essential though, so we've got to make sure he doesn't run out.

One thing I noticed immediately when viewing the website was the option for free shipping on prescriptions! One of the reasons I have a hard time refilling his prescription far enough ahead of time is that I usually only do errands once a week. So, if I've forgotten to refill the prescription (and write myself a note to pick it up) then I usually don't think about it at all until the following week. With the Walgreens free shipping option, I don't have to worry about paying extra for the convenience of not needing to go pick it up!

After a little more perusing, I found out that I could set up automatic prescription refills. It occurred to me that, if I could set this up, along with the shipping option, I wouldn't need to worry about his prescriptions again until they needed to be re-prescribed by his doctor! 

The website is so easy to navigate and, if I ever do have a question, Walgreens.com offers secure online pharmacy chat with a professional pharmacist. I'm really excited about the way Walgreens makes managing prescriptions so simple for me!

It's really important to me that Jamie doesn't have to worry about not having the medicine he needs to keep him feeling well. He works so hard for us during the week and I want to make sure he's able to enjoy his family time and free time as much as possible.
