Recipes

Thank you for asking Emily for the recipe irl. 

Emily does not believe in units of measurement and Emily does not believe in time. 


As of late, Emily looks up the Patron Saint of the day and tries to emulate their feast. 

Emily believes cooking for patron saints is a diabolical cheat code 

that God has bestowed upon lazy, uninspired women, like herself. 


Good luck and Godspeed on your culinary adventures.
