A Food Blog and Living Recipe Collection
Momma and Daddy Ems made a trip down to Bloomington last weekend to celebrate Dad’s 59th birthday. For the occasion, I whipped up the only cake I really know how to make. I’ve adopted the philosophy that all baked goods worth making contain booze. Thus, though it’s not super impressive in appearance, I’ve focused (I [...]
Stacey made this delicious plate of food tonight for dinner. She baked the trout after marinating it in her delicious brown sugar, lemon juice and olive oil fish marinade. She baked it 375 for 15 minutes or until was is flaky in the middle. The broccoli was sauteed in a wok with olive oil, seasoned [...]
Last summer we had some friends over and had a make-your-own kabob BBQ. Perhaps we’re a little..um..’Type A,’ but we had forms for people to fill out so we knew what to put on the skewer for each person. The kabobs on this tray were all mushroom, shrimp, tomato, onion and bell pepper. We also [...]
This is one of our absolute summer favorites and staples which pairs very well with a cold crisp bottle of white wine (or two). Stacey is definitely the grilling/fish guru among us. Often when we make salmon she whips up a simple but delicious marinade of brown sugar, salt, pepper olive oil and lemon juice [...]
Last night, living up to the name of this blog, I experimented by combining three recipes and came up with this healthy (245 calories per serving) dish. I love making healthy dishes because then I don’t feel so bad about drinking more beer! The original recipes are here: Recipe 1, Recipe 2 and Recipe [...]
This is one of my favorite recipes to make and eat. I made it last night for some lovely friends who came by to watch some football. (I wasn’t sure if it was the spice in the chili or Tebow’s performance which brought tears to their eyes.) I always put out the saracha hot sauce [...]
These pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting were made for a party at Stacey’s this fall. I followed Maratha Stewart’s recipe (linked to the photo above) They were sinful. I cut back on the butter; I only put in one stick I think. I cut back on the sugar putting in about 2/3 of what [...]
Stacey whipped up this amazing dinner recently. She put olive oil in the bottom of the baking dish, lined it then with fresh basil leaves, and then placed two tilapia fillets on the basil leaves. She then topped the fillets with leeks, tomato slices, lemon slices and salt and pepper. This is an extremely healthy, [...]
While on vacation with Stacey and good friends Emily and Joanne, we enjoyed some delicious Maine lobster. It was my first time eating lobster in the US. My first experience with lobster was a very memorable one in Iceland with Sigrun, a good friend, her grandparents, mom and good friends Emily and Evie. This lobster [...]
Homemade pizza is one of my favorite activities/meals. Some of you may know about my mostly vegetarian tendencies with a weakness for cured meats like salami and peperoni. Some (Liz Sanders) refers to me as a Salamitarian. I don’t deny this. Homemade pizza gives me the opportunity to get my peperoni fix on a regular [...]
