Ayesha Curry Said She Lost 35 Pounds In Quarantine While Making Chicken Parm
The name of the quarantine game has been comfort food. Whether it's banana bread, lasagna, or sourdough, we've all been spending quite a bit of time in the kitchen cooking up our faves while spending more time at home. Recently, Ayesha Curry said she too has been cooking up some delicious meals but that hers have helped her drop 35 pounds...is there anything this woman cannot do?
In an interview with Yahoo! Canada Lifestyle we spotted on Us Weekly, the star said that she's been cooking up chicken parm while in quarantine because it's a comforting family favorite.
"It’s a fairly basic dish, but it’s also one of the first things I made for Stephen when we were dating, so it’s nostalgic," Ayesha said. But she added that now she lightens up the dish by doing a "lighter breading using panko instead of regular bread crumbs, and [I] whip up a super-fast and fresh tomato sauce for the topping."
Just 2 crazy kids trying to figure it out... at least that’s what we tell ourselves! 🖤

That said, she's probably not eating chicken parm all day every day to stay healthy. She told the outlet she starts the day with coffee blended with ghee and coconut oil and tries to drink 32 ounces of water before noon. She also noted that her family loves green veggies so she tries to serve those as often as possible too.
“We love Brussels, asparagus and broccoli. I like to roast them on high heat to give everything a nice char and enhance the flavor of the veg," she said. "There’s nothing I love more than a one-pot/one sheet pan dinner, so most nights I’ll season up a protein and roast it alongside the vegetables.”
Honestly, if sheet pan meals and lightened up chicken parm will help me to channel Ayesha Curry, well then consider me headed to the grocery store.
