And when I start cooking more regularly, I hope it looks something like this.


...I'll be sporting a backless black dress. My hair will be thrown up in a perfectly messy chignon. Fresh roasted vegetables and prosciutto will be served al fresco on a patio in Paris. And all will be right in the world.

Maybe I will throw on my evening gown next time I cook so I can feel this awesome! I'm trying a new dish tonight, I'm already hungry thinking about it!

Seriously though, who is this girl? When I cook it typically resembles me in sweats, with a glass of wine, looking frantic and terrified!

I cook a lot now and I look NOTHING like this ... ! In the future, I should def. put some more effort into my kitchen ensemble!

For those who want a yummy and easy recipe, just posted a great one today!

Hahaha...I feel the same way. Effortless beauty...effortless cooking...precious moment OR the facade of it all. When I cook...it look more like a fish out of water. Everything seem to bubble over. lol

I love cooking and the food looks so yummy.

Everything looks super delicious! I wish I were the kind of girl who could look effortlessly chic in the kitchen, but I always make such a mess!

bevy said...

What? You mean you don't cook looking like that?

ha, I barely cook and mostly because I don't want to interrupt the cleanliness of the kitchen.

What a nice thought! When I cook, I'm ususally sweaty and covered in food particles. Not NEARLY as glamorous!

Amanda Hill said...

Oh I can wish too!

hahaha@bevy.

THAT would be the life. If cooking were like that, I'd be the first one to sign up!

karlee said...

If I really got into cooking I guarantee I wouldn't be that thin. But that food sure looks good!!

Caitlin said...

Haha. Wouldn't that be nice? ;)

... and you would be able to eat as much as you want of that platter and not worry about putting on weight. ;)

Hello Lover... said...

Ummmm that is what I look like everynight while I'm cooking dinner!

But on a serious note, I didn't read the title and when I saw the first image I really thought that was you - awesome.

Heidi said...

Oh Alaina! You've done it again. Making me wistfully sigh seems to be a talent of yours.

The things dreams are made of I tell ya!

Live Inspired,
