I think it’s time that I come forward and confess my dirty little secret. My name is Emily and I’m an addict. I hoard frozen chicken. On Saturday, when I went to the Safeway, I had a vague idea of the amount of chicken already in my freezer, but it was not until after IContinue reading 44. Chicken Cacciatore (Hunter's Style)

10. Roast Chicken
I love roast chicken. I think that it might be my favorite dinner: stuffing and corn and mashies and gravy. It’s basically a small-scale version of Thanksgiving–which is my favorite holiday meal. Anyway, when I think of roast chicken I think of the delectable sides. YUM. I was ready to prepare all those wonderful carbohydrate-ladenContinue reading 10. Roast Chicken
28. Tuna-Cheese-Macaroni-Loaf
I am a firm believer that the only thing that should come in loaf-form is bread. Even standard ol’ meatloaf is pushing it. It is a line that should never be crossed.

54. Shrimp Creole

I don’t need a reason to drink–your Cinco de Mayo is one of my any given Thursdays. Now on to Creole Shrimp! Now, with this recipe I followed it to the letter. TheContinue reading 54. Shrimp Creole
17. Beef Lindstrom (Swedish Beef Patties)
Second meal. This is the dish where I pre-made the beef patties while chilling the dough for the Medaillons. Non sequitur: I lost the Oscar ™ bet. We were tied but I picked Annette Bening over Natalie Portman. Will someone just give Mrs. Warren Beatty her goddamn Oscar ™ already? Annette was really good inContinue reading 17.

41. Fruit Stuffed Pork Loin (the results)
Ah, card #41. You took almost an entire day to make.
