“I’ve always cooked a LOT, but I found three recipes I know I’ll be making at dinner parties for life: ’s Real Meatballs and Spaghetti (I just use packaged bread crumbs and only ground beef for meat), ’s Mughlai Chicken, and’s Chicken Fajitas with Molé Sauce,” Swift wrote in a 2019 essay for Elle magazine.

She added, “Getting a garlic crusher is a whole game changer. I also learned how to immediately calculate Celsius to Fahrenheit in my head.”

“[Travis] comes home. I was at his house, like, three hours before the game, we’re having pregame meal,” he recalled on the “Tobin and Leroy” show. “And Taylor is so nice, she comes in by herself. She’s so cool, she made her homemade cinnamon rolls for Travis for a pregame meal.”
