From the pages of People Magazine, today I’m sharing 3 delicious celebrity recipes that will make your tastebuds very happy!

Perfect for indulging in something warm and comforting during the weekdays, we have Joanna Gaines’ recipe for Chicken Tortilla Soup.

 

I’ve made this myself with my homemade chicken stock and I can attest to this tortilla soup being quite tasty! It’s perfect for making and having over the course of two days, which I love! Cook one day and rest the next.  

 

I love the idea of making these next two recipes for a little weekend indulgence. Don’t feel like going out to a fancy dinner in a restaurant? Make one at home instead, and let’s Start with George Clooney’s recipe for Mojito Risotto with Seared Scallops! Yum!!

Don’t be intimidated, this recipe is pretty easy to make, and if you’ve ever made home made risotto, you know it’s quite a treat in itself! Personally I like less rum added, or none at all. 

 

And now for my favorite part of the meal, dessert! And it’s perfectly alright to treat yourself like a princess while partaking in this glorious dessert!

 

The Princess of Wales’ Sticky Toffee Pudding is a treat for all the senses, and trust me, if you’ve never had sticky toffee pudding you are missing out… big time!! Give it a try this weekend.

Oh, and here's another one of Kate's delicious recipes. I've made this chutney several times, and it's delicious served with a traditional chicken salad or with cheese and crackers.

I hope you’ll follow along with me on Instagram for all the latest projects and décor I will be sharing in 2025.

the joanna gaines & jennifer lopez project

Word on the street is that Fixer Upper super fan Jennifer Lopez has hired Joanna Gaines to remodel her new Malibu Beach house that she shares with bf Alex Rodriguez. Pictures don’t lie… 

here’s the dynamic duo checking out the digs from the beach side.

One can only imagine how spectacular this home will turn out, as money probably will be no object. What J Lo wants, J Lo gets! And now she and A Rod have "JoGa" to help make this dream into a reality!

Here’s a little Fixer Upper inspo of what some of the elements of this amazing project might include, taken from some of Joanna’s Texas projects, but with that definitive Malibu Beach vibe!

ciao! fabiana

While I’m here today, I wanted to share some of my "Tablescaping Essentials" with you. I have a whole page on the Amazon website with my favorite picks for setting a beautiful table.

Quite often time is of the essence, and I have last minute projects or events to work on, so I turn to Amazon for one or two day delivery. You’d be surprised at how many amazing items they have to offer! And I'm constantly updating this page with my new favorites.

shiplap happens

For the last two weeks I’ve been on a bit of a break from my photography and styling projects and have just been enjoying the last bit of holiday fun. All our Christmas stuff has finally been put away, so that blank canvas in my home has finally got me motivated!

We’ve got a couple of projects in the works at the moment. One is a rebuild of our pool house into a work-out space for my husband, which has been going on for about two years, and is just about finished.

The second project is the refurbishing of our living room, which means reconfiguring a few things and hopefully adding French doors that open up to the sunny back garden.

So with all that going on, I’ve been stalking pinterest for some inspiring ideas, so today from the world of Joanna Gaines, I’m sharing some of my favorite rooms from Fixer Upper that feature that ever-so-popular material – shiplap!

 

Is it technically shoplap if it’s installed vertically? I’m not sure, but I love it anyways!

joanna gaines' new she shed

Did you happen to see this week’s

episode of Fixer Upper where they build and design

a new garden shed,

garden and chicken coop for their own farm?

I think it’s my all-time favorite show

 that they’ve ever done.

The inspiration for the she shed is the huge diamond-paned window that she’s been storing in her massive warehouse filled with amazing flea market finds.

The vintage doors are pretty spectacular too!

And Chip created the gorgeous fireplace.

Aren’t the tomato plants on the ledge cute?

It’s more than just a shed,

it’s a sanctuary and a meeting place for close friends.

Joanna has garden books

and accessories close at hand.

The outdoor garden area is just as

spectacular

as the inside of the garden shed.

An arched arbor filled with growing vines

is the gateway to and from the shed.

Everything I’ve ever wanted in a

garden is right here!

You can see the fabulous doors here,

behind Chip & Joanna.

And, of course, nearby, under an old oak tree

is a cozy farmhouse table for alfresco dining.

So cute!

The chicken coop is equally as beautiful as

 the rest of the garden and the shed.

You know herbs are my favorites!

And lots of pea gravel divides the outdoor spaces.

Chip and Joanna have also been

very busy  with a new project.

 They’re opening new restaurant named

magnolia table later this year.

Here’s how it’s coming together so far…

Let me know if you’ve watched this episode yet

and what you think about the whole project.

Even if you’re not a “garden person”,

you have to admit that shed is pretty darn cute!
