KA-CHUNG!

August 21 2012

  Alexa Chung is that girl that everybody wans to be friends with and has the style that every woman wants to emulate. After fronting campaigns for Madewell, Supergra and Pepe Jeans, Ms. Chung bags another campaign as she becomes the face of the french label ‘Maje’. I think the brand scored major gold as Alexa speaks [...]

OREO POPS

Oreo Pops

    My husband is mortified every time I eat Oreos because eat only the biscuit. I’ve been looking for ways to get more creative with Oreos without breaking my back in the kitchen. I made Oreo Pops last week following this easy recipe and the best thing about it is there’s no baking required. My [...]

GOLDEN NUGGET

Chicken Nuggets

  Chicken Nuggets was my favorite kids meal but having found what they’re really made of, it’s safe to say I won’t ever eat them again. At times when I crave chicken nuggets and french fries, I make this baked version which tastes better than the real thing and it’s healthy. The secret to making it perfect [...]
