Chef Emma ~








One of Emma's favorite things to do is cook! For Christmas, she received a gift certificate from Mimi and Pop for a private cooking lesson....so we finally decided to cash it in! Emma chose the menu and Chef Margaret came over to give her a lesson. Emma's menu consisted of cheese fondue with assorted dippers (as an appetizer), Chicken Cordon Bleu, fried green beans with homemade ranch dipping sauce, twice baked potatoes, and homemade white chocolate bread pudding for dessert. I was thinking it'd be something along the lines of homemade pizza or chicken fingers.....I was way off! As soon as Chef Margaret arrived, they got straight to work. I offered to help but she wanted to do it on her own (apparently I'm "a little too controlling in the kitchen")....hmm. Mimi and Pop were able to join us for dinner and it was awesome! She did a great job on everything! She always talks about opening her own restaurant one day....I think it just might happen!

What an awesome idea! I know you will have that restaurant one day, Em's Plate or Em's Place. I will certainly be a customer! Poppy and I are looking forward to you cooking for us this summer. Hurry up," Miss social bug" and get down here!
