Our favorite quotes from the episode

“It was called Millionaire’s Candy. It'll make me tear up just talking about it because I still have the page out of the recipe book … the actual brown and weathered page of the recipe for Millionaire’s Candy. And I will never lose it. I'm going to have it framed. It means everything to me. Because when I was a little girl, my Grandma Nilah would make this candy for all of us every Christmas.”

“But what I remember is that time with my Grandma Nilah in the kitchen.”

“You're creating not only positive memories, but you're also creating family traditions. And it brings back such wonderful memories of love and connection.”
