Doll-Home Chefs

June 4, 2017

The Dollhouse is where it all started. Sometimes, a fun night in the kitchen makes a house a home. Caitlin and Danielle love to cook up delicious meals because food tastes best when it’s shared between best friends. The Dolls partnered with Home Chef, a local Chicago meal delivery service, to cook up some fun!

You might already know that food is our second favorite F Word (fashion is our first). We believe in creating healthy habits, not restrictions. That’s why we make sure to work out, do yoga, choose healthy ingredients… and eat PIZZA!

Some say that eating is a necessity, but cooking is art. For us – cooking is a time to chat about our lives, to giggle, and do best friend things! We partnered with a local Chicago company, Home Chef, to cook up this Neapolitan Pizza Margherita with fresh mozzarella, basil, and balsamic dressed arugula.

Fun Fact: Did you know that pizza was invented in 1889 when Queen Margherita visited Napoli? When a chef was asked to prepare a special dish in her honor, the pizza was put together tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil to match the colors of the Italian flag.

People who love to eat are always the best people. – Julia Child

Home Chef is a meal delivery service that features easy recipes and fresh ingredients. There are 13 recipes to choose from each week, including great low-carb, low-calorie and gluten-free options. Our favorite part about Home Chef‘s meals are the fresh, thoughtfully sourced ingredients.

Use our special discount code “DOLLHOUSE” for $30 off your first purchase! http://bit.ly/2rwjBuA

About

Once upon a time... there were two best friends that lived in a Dollhouse. That's where the story began. While the pages of this digital storybook keep turning, one thing remains the same. Caitlin and Dani are by each other's side through the ups, downs and all the realness in between.
