Our journey through Chrissy Teigen’s first cookbook is still ongoing! There are so many more recipes we want to make in that book. But, when we saw her next cookbook (aka Cravings 2) was going to launch, we jumped on the preorder. And we were not disappointed. Lilies and Loafers has affiliate relationships, so we may get a small share of revenue from your purchases. Items are sold by the…
The past few months have been filled with breastfeeding, diaper changes, lullabies and discovering new recipes. Parental leave has been an amazing time as I bond with Liam and discover a whole new side of myself as a mother. But I could not lose sight of what I’ve always loved doing, which is cooking. Cooking is like therapy for me and it was just what I needed to do between…
It’s time to take out those crockpots and French ovens; it’s soup and stew season! We love a good slow cooker recipe. Being able to “set it and forget it” is what we love. But we haven’t made a lot of soups. In our latest adventure through Cravings, we made this Rotochick Chicken Noodle Soup…three times! We made this three times because we L-O-V-E-D it! It was everything Chrissy said it…
It’s summer. You know what that means? Beach, frozen margaritas (well, that’s all year round) and dining el fresco. However, we are unable to enjoy cooking food on the grill. Unless you have a terrace, city living is not the ideal place to live if you love to grill. Brian is a suburban boy and grew up with a large backyard and grill. So he’s missing out on grilling burgers…
This seared scallops and corn salad dish was inspired by Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook, Cravings. Lilies and Loafers has affiliate relationships, so we may get a small share of revenue from your purchases. Items are sold by the retailer, not by Lilies and Loafers. When I was younger, I was the pickiest eater. Brian will argue I am still that person. The food on my plate couldn’t touch one another. If…
We can always count on our Food Network magazine subscription, the semi-random cookbooks we’ve inherited, Pinterest and our family for great recipes. However, it’s rare that we’ll go back to the magazine/book and continue to cook from it because most of the time, there’s only a handful of recipes we love. Looking at our cookbooks now, there were only one or two recipes that made us buy the book. Now, they just…
The next stop in our journey through Cravings, is John Legend’s chili recipe. His recipe is used with the Frito Pie Bar. We didn’t go all out with the Frito Bar, but we used a few of the toppings (cheesy guacamole, we have our eyes set on you!). If you haven’t been inspired by our other ventures into Cravings, then I hope we can sway you with this chili recipe. And all you’d…
I cannot believe it’s already December! Where did this year go? Now that the holidays are here, we all need to find some amazing recipes for our guests. I highly recommend these delicious steak bites! A little something you may not know about me, is the first Christmas I ever celebrated was with Brian. I grew up in a Muslim household. Although I haven’t been practicing since I was nine, there were still a…
After that election, I think most of us (and yes, most, since Hillary won the popular vote) are in the need of a drink and some comfort food. Chrissy Teigen’s mac and cheese recipe was the first recipe we tried. However, I was waiting for the perfect time to blog about it. I know when I’m having a stressful week, my favorite dinner is a form of therapy. This mac and cheese recipe…
I just celebrated my 27th birthday, I know I’m getting old. To celebrate we made some delicious fried fish sandwiches. Usually around my birthday I start dropping hints to my friends and family on what gift I would like. One of those gifts was Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook, Cravings. I woke up on the morning of my birthday only to be graced with Cravings from Brian. I flipped throw the cookbook that morning…
