I LOVE cheesecake. It is my favorite dessert of all time, but it has to be done right. I don't like just any cheesecake. It is probably because I grew up spoiled eating these. I hope that you love this recipe as much as I do. One of my favorite things about this recipe is [...]
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead," 1 Peter 1:3 I dropped avocado down my shirt today. My blue shirt now as a big green stain on [...]
I have been on the hunt for the most perfect homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe. I LOVE chocolate chip cookies, especially the Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Lovers. That is my go-to. My roommate and I cook them all the time, if we are baking, that is what we are making. You just can't go wrong. [...]
This is the first recipe for Em in the Kitchen! It is the first full day of Kemp's stay at home order, which means I am going to be trapped for at least two weeks---but lets be honest, probably longer. I'm bored, you're bored, we are all looking for something to do, so I am [...]

"The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever." Isaiah 40:8 It has been a while since I wrote a blog post because every time I would begin one, it just never felt right. I never felt like I had clarity or knew what needed to be said. I [...]
"Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you." Psalm 9:10 Honestly, I do not know where to start. The journey of this year has been one that I never would have planned for myself and am still trying to make sense of. I think we [...]
"from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I," Psalm 61:2 For the past few months God has really been teaching me to trust. These months have been plagued with deaths, lots of sickness, and many “why?” moments. I [...]
