We are already completely obsessed with Chrissy Teigen and John Legend as a couple, but I'm particularly a big fan of Chrissy's, because she's a serious cook with a cookbook on the way. Fearless in the kitchen, the Sports Illustrated model constantly shares photos and videos of homemade meals on her Instagram account — and never without a dash of wit. If you're a foodie, you really need to follow her on Instagram and check out her blog So Delushious, a place for "personal random ramblings from a girl who loves bacon and can't be fat." These are 42 times we wanted the self-proclaimed #soupmaster to cook for us.
She Makes Scallops With "Rando Sh*t" For Sunday Supper
The "rando sh*t" consists of asparagus, tomatoes, corn, and prosciutto.
Plus Clams For Good Measure
She Loves to Make Bacon Meatballs
This Is What a Casual Dinner With John Looks Like
She Makes Spaghetti Squash Look Delicious
And She Sings While Doing It
She Gives the Key to Making Perfect Tom Yum Soup
"The difference between good tom yum and great tom yum — I love frying the shells in a bit of oil, then pouring in chicken or vegetable broth to simmer, then strain and chuck the shells! Flavor country."
She Cooks With Her Adorable Mom All the Time
Her mom is Thai, and she and Chrissy are always whipping up authentic Thai recipes. Here, she says they are the "LAMB MASTERS."
They Make Homemade Pork Egg Rolls
She Cooks With Her Dad, Too
She Shares Supereasy Recipes
. . . Like this mango avocado salsa, which is made with: "mango, avocado, cilantro, salt and pepper, olive oil and lemon (only because I don't have limes dammit)."
She Whips Up Shakshuka For John's Breakfast
One of Her Favorite Recipes of All Time Is Ina Garten's Tomato Basil Soup
She Makes It a Lot

And Sometimes Sings Soup Songs
She Has a Guac Recipe With a Special Ingredient: CHEESE
And lucky for us, she has shared this very guac recipe.

She Knows When to Throw an Egg on It
Take a look at this Cajun catfish with avocado and a fried egg.
She's Perfected Homemade Croutons
She Feels the Same Way You Do About Dieting
She Finds Loopholes in Diets
For instance, this is cauliflower mash! "Mashed potato trickery," she says. Here's how Chrissy makes it: "Boil/strain or steam cauliflower. Add to food processor with a hunk of butter and salt and pepper (a bit of cream cheese or garlic if you're feeling dangerous) and whip to fluffiness."
When in Doubt, Chrissy Adds Prosciutto
Like this prosciutto-wrapped chicken with pesto.
She Knows How to Please Crowds
This spicy sesame noodles with chicken is one of Chrissy's favorite recipes ever, and she says it's a "mother f*ckin' crowd pleaser."
She Never Takes Herself Too Seriously
Bacon. Wrapped. Turkey.
What Her "Thrown Together From the Fridge" Dinner Looks Like
Orecchiette pasta, ham steaks, broccoli, garlic, and pecorino.
She Knows How to Casually Throw Together a Snack
Toast, mashed avocado, prosciutto, red onion, and tomato.
She's Not Afraid to Show Her Nonchef Side
Like the time she got a bunch of Cup Noodles from a grocery store after the Met Gala. She said, "I do not recall this." We have all been there, girl.
And the Time She and John Ate KFC in Bed
She said, "hesitant to finish this KFC because I'm gonna be so sad when it's gone."
. . . And the Time She Hit "Rock Bottom"
"I gotta say, it's better with a cracker."
