About

Howdy! I’m Emily, and I’m stoked that you’re here.

Welcome to my corner of the internet, where I’ll share with you my favorite recipes and life musings. Food and drink rule my life, and I hope I can make my love for them a part of your life, too.

Let me take you on a trip down story lane to my humble beginnings. (It’ll get sad for a minute, but don’t worry, it’ll get better right after.) I started cooking in 2015 to lose weight and save money. I was a junior at Michigan State University, and I had just moved into my first apartment. I was working 40 hours a week at a miserable job that was supposed to be part time, scraping by with rent and living expenses, talking to almost no one, and attempting to balance a full credit load. And gaining weight. Oh, did I gain weight. None of my clothes fit, I had no energy, and my face had become an unrecognizable full-moon replica of what it once was. I knew I had to make a change.

Enter the Google machine.

The internet told me that I could lose weight in one of three ways: 1) pay lots of money to go on a crash diet, 2) keep eating what I was eating and spend the rest of my life on the treadmill, or 3) cook my own meals with real, fresh ingredients. I didn’t have any money and I certainly didn’t have any energy, so option 3 it was. What I didn’t know was that my newfound hobby would soon become the driving force behind everything I do.

Forgive me for being clichéd, but cooking changed my life. It made me healthier, it made me happier, and it made me feel so much more connected with the world around me. My love for honest food is boundless, and it’s growing every day. I hope I can share some of that same love with you as I do with my friends and family. So here’s to fresh starts and delicious beginnings of all kinds. Cheers!

Looking to work together? I love collaborating with brands that align with my mission: bringing healthy, whole, home-cooked food to as many kitchens as possible. Get in touch by emailing me at feelinwhisky (at) gmail (dot) com.

Ya know when you open up a can of tomato paste jus Ya know when you open up a can of tomato paste just to scoop out one tablespoon? And then you've got a whole can of tomato paste sitting there and you're just like... wtf do I do with this 🙃🤷🏼‍♀️🍅 Well, let me introduce you to these Indian Butter Chickpeas. They're crazy-fast, super delicious, and have the added feature of using an ENTIRE can of tomato paste. I can assure you there is nothing more satisfying than dumping that whole can into one pot 🥴 And then, 20 minutes later, you'll be greeted with a big ol' bowl of creamy, comforting, curried deliciousness. Best dinner ever. 👏🏼 [Indian Butter Chickpeas on feelinwhisky.com or linked in profile]

Really missing the farmers market right about now. Really missing the farmers market right about now. My weekly trips to the crowded, colorful marketplace are one of my favorite parts of summer. But at least I can still appreciate the beauty in the small things, like a bunch of asparagus fresh from the ground. Hopefully soon I'll be able to get back to my favorite place ☀️🧺🌾

My favorite part about summer? Cookouts. Most defi My favorite part about summer? Cookouts. Most definitely. Truly, is there anything better than standing barefoot in the grass, beer in hand, with good good smells wafting off the grill and a table filled with side dishes? 🥰🍻☀️ Pretty sure nothing can top that. This summer will undoubtedly look a little different. But I'll still be cooking like it's peak grilling season, and you best believe this Cucumber Orzo Pasta Salad will grace my table QUITE often 👏🏼 This super-simple side packs a whole lot of flavor with a shockingly short ingredients list.
