Chrissy Tiegen's Cravings!



Big news! My all-time favorite funny girl Chrissy Tiegen has finally released her long-anticipated cookbook Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat! I for one, have been waiting for this amazon pre-order for what seem like ages! It finally arrived yesterday, and I devoured the book - but really, my nose didn't leave it's pages for hours, and I found myself actually laughing out loud. Girlfriend is hilarious!

Chrissy has been blogging about her love for cooking for a while now over at SoDelushious, and people have gone nuts for her mix of humor and soul food. Likewise, her Instagram account is the epitome of "food porn" and one that I frequently stalk.  She is the ultra-cool, older sister everyone wants to spend the afternoon cooking with - Ok, the older sister who also happens to be a super model, but hey I love a girl who likes to eat!

Her new cookbook is an array of all the most deeelish recipes you could imagine - she includes Thai infusions from her mom's side of the family, her hubby John's famous fried chicken (um yum!), cheesy-cheeseless eggs, southern green bean casserole, the list goes on and on.  On my immediate list of recipes to whip up:
  • Perfect Seared Scallops with warm corn salad
  • Roasted Jalapeno and Chorizo Queso
  • Chicken Lettuce Wraps
  • Chrissy's famous Secretly Spicy Deviled Eggs
  • I am also dying host a Frito Chili Pie party now, thanks to her!
I can't wait to dive into a few of these recipes this week - I love how the majority of her collection is good old comfort food, and not your typical "I'm a model, here's how I make cardboard taste yummy" book. I'm making her Lemony Arugula Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe tonight, so wish me luck!

Bon apetit!
