It's kind of impossible not to like Chrissy Teigen. Whether she's making us LOL with a ridiculous Halloween costume or sharing her love for Doritos Locos Tacos, she's a goddess in and out of the kitchen. Now that she and hubby John Legend are expecting their first child, Teigen has opened up about some of her pregnancy cravings, and they're as delicious as you'd expect.
Yesterday, she presented a "fried food flight" to her co-hosts on FABLife, starting with a classic fried pickle served with buttermilk dill ranch dressing. Chef Nigella Lawson was nearby to give some frying advice, like adding light beer or soda water to the batter to keep things nice and crispy.
Next up were zucchini fries, accompanied by a spicy chipotle mayo. Teigen says she uses a mixture of Panko, regular bread crumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese to get these babies nice and crispy in the oven. Yep—they're baked, so this faux-fried treat will satisfy your cravings without the guilt.
The final bite was a fried peanut butter and jelly circle, served with a jalapeño-infused honey sauce. She used Frosted Flakes for the breading, an ingredient which she thinks is highly underrated in the food world. And based on one of her other pregnancy cravings, I'm thinking Chrissy Teigen is a cereal connoisseur disguised as a supermodel. She suggests tossing Frosted Flakes in melted butter, sprinkling them with salt, and then using them as an ice cream topping. If eating cereal for dessert is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
