Homemade Fig Newton's
I
have strong memories when I think of Fig Newton’s. Yeah, I’m strange.
I
miss my childhood sometimes.
When
I was a kid, we would go to my Grandma & Grandpa’s house after school. They actually weren’t my grandparents but they
were my mom’s best friends. We LOVED visiting
them-they always had plenty of food to go around…chow mein, egg rolls &
rice {to make our cheeks big and pretty!}.
I remember staring at the Barbie collection for hours, watching TV, playing Nintendo and visiting. We would also eat lots
of Fig Newton’s, or a brand quite similar.
It was always so hard going home! Nevertheless,
when I saw this recipe, I immediately thought of them. It’s kind of interesting how certain things
can trigger memories and make you yearn for simpler times. Grandma passed away quite some time ago, but
I still think of her often. She was always
so kind and caring-a wonderful human being.
