Days of our Lives’ Stacy Haiduk Shares Mouth-Watering ‘Cooking Day’ Photos — & Her Special BBQ Sauce Recipe
Days of our Lives actress has it going on in the kitchen.
Actress Stacy Haiduk, who plays Kristen DiMera on Days of our Lives, and is also known for her role as Patty Williams on Young and the Restless, recently shared photos from her self-proclaimed ‘cooking day’ in her Instagram story and the results were absolutely mouth-watering! Her first post was a jar of her homemade barbecue sauce, which looked so good we hit her up for the recipe – look for it at the end of the article!
We didn’t have to imagine the barbecue sauce caramelized to perfection on grilled chicken as she shared a photo of it used in a meal as well, along with a side of broccoli. Tantalizing.
Next came her chocolate banana muffins, pictured coming fresh out of the oven and looking as flawless as muffins from any corner bakery. The smell must have been amazing…if only Instagram had a scratch ‘n’ sniff feature.
Hibiscus Green Tea Lemonade was teased after the muffins. This involved a pitcher surrounded by fresh cut lemons, so you know this wasn’t made with any mixes and tasted divine.
A colorful fresh salad was up next and featured fresh greens and sliced carrots. Scrumptious on its own, but irresistible served with the pitcher of lemonade. Summer treats indeed.
Finally, the actress shared a photo of popcorn along with a glass of wine and labeled it, ‘my favorite’. This certainly seemed like a perfect snack at the end of a long ‘cooking day’.
