Super Model Project: Asian Pear & Avocado Salad
All I can say is that I have no excuses. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to make this salad. It is so simple, but the perfect mix of sweet, savory, crunchy, creamy. All the things. The dressing sounds like a weird combo of ingredients, but is truly next level. Don’t make…
Supermodel Project: Adeena’s Greenas
Great greens, it’s a healthy post! A move out, followed by a move in without cookware and a birthday….the last couple weeks have been a bit indulgent. And by indulgent, I mean weirdly cheese heavy, but not that weird, because Switzerland. Thankfully, IKEA sent me a pan and Chrissy Teigan had been advertising this recipe…
Super Model Project: Sweet Miso-Butter Cod and Snap Peas
On Saturday a lovely bottle of champagne found its way to my doorstep. It would have been wrong not to bring it in and keep it very close to me during these trying times, so that is exactly what I did. This probably explains why I never got around to plating the Sweet Miso-Butter Cod…

The Sauce is Boss- Teigan’s Capone Burger Sauce Gets a Healthy Makeover
Another throwback today! You may recall an earlier recipe of Chrissy Teigan’s Capone Burger sauce that I’ve shared with you and have been making for years. Her other secret is that she coats the burger in Dijon mustard before cooking it. Makes a nice crust, ya know? That’s all there is to it, the Capone…

Super Model Project: French Onion Soup with Croissant Croutons
A Super Model French Onion soup is Super interesting…there’s a soy sauce element not found in the soup a l’ognion that I’m having in Switzerland. This one has that umami element coupled with the brilliant invention of self-toasting croutons. Tell me this isn’t the perfect meal for the first snow day in a year and…

This is the best salad that I’ve made in a minute; I guess I’d expect nothing less from a super model. Also, it’s beyond simple, just a really nice combo that will soon be in regular rotation. A few ratio tweaks from me…sometimes I think Ms. Teigan may have had a vo-so or two too…
