Cooking With Chrissy Teigen

“Making food is a wonderful way to spend a Friday night.” - Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen’s new cookbook Cravings 2 is one of my fave books to cook with to date. She is witty and all of the recipes are super to easy follow, also the food is delicious. Today I am sharing my top three favorite recipes from her new book. Even though she wasn’t literally in my kitchen, her recipes and suggestions have totally influenced my cooking style.

Check out my top three dishes below!

Thai Grilled Chilli Wings

These wings are sweet and spicy, so so good! The trick for these wings is to marinate them for 24 hours to get their amazing flavor. Also, I preferred to add in extra peppers into these wings.

Garlic & Honey Shrimp

These shrimp are spicy, sweet, and the garlic totally makes is scrumptious. Also, I used basmati rice as the grain for the dish, and it turned out delicious. The sauce is key for the dish, I added in extra ginger too!

Scallop Linguine

I absolutely love this dish, and I rarely make pasta at all, but this dish was a star. The casino breadcrumb recipe was amazing and really elevated this meal.

Recipe: Oven Roasted Red Potatoes

"Food is maybe the only universal thing that really has the power to bring everyone together." - Guy Fieri

Roasted Red Potatoes are super easy to make and a favorite at my house! When I saw a similar recipe in Chrissy Teigen's Cravings cookbook, in that moment I knew she was my soulmate. Below is my favorite recipe for my roasted potatoes. 

What You'll Need

  • 1 bag of Baby Red Potatoes
  • Olive Oil
  • Garlic & Herb OR Lemon Pepper seasoning (lemon pepper seasoning is my personal fave!)
  • Sea Salt
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Spoon
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Parchment Paper

Step 1: First, cut your potatoes into halves, making them into small wedges. While you are preparing the potatoes, go ahead and pre-heat that oven to 450 degrees. 

Step 2: Place them into a mixing bowl and add desired seasonings generously with olive oil. ** Depending on the amount of potatoes you are making, ensure that the olive oil and seasoning coat them evenly. 

Step 3: Once complete, place the seasoned and oiled potatoes onto a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place into the oven for 25-30 minutes! ** Why do I use parchment paper? It helps the potatoes to not stick to the baking sheet!

Step 4: Continue to check on the potatoes periodically to ensure that they are browned evenly. Use a large spoon to turn the potatoes over every 15 minutes.

Step 5: Once they look crispy, and the time is up, pull out the baking sheet. Then, let potatoes cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.

Step 6: ENJOY and dip those potatoes into some ketchup :)
