Celebrities Share The Delicious (And Strange) Meals They Actually Make Themselves
For most of us, making all our meals is just a part of life. Wake up make breakfast, pack lunch, come home, and cook for our families. I'm sure we'd all appreciate having a personal chef to cook for us, or an assistant to run out and get our favorite takeout every once in a while.
What is considered food luxuries for us are part of an average day for celebrities. But even though they can have any food they want, a lot of celebs still like to cook for themselves when they can. These celebrities spilled the beans on what their go-to meals are to make at home. A few have some pretty strict diets, but others know that pasta and peanut butter are the two best things in life.

Not even a white girl in Starbucks could one-up Tebow's coffee order.

How does he still have abs after that?

Kylie Jenner isn't as strict with her diet as the other Kardashians are known to be. She admitted on her app, “I eat shrimp tacos every day." She also told us that she hates most fancy food and prefers the food she makes herself.

I never expected Carey to cook a day in her life, but apparently, her diet is pretty easy to follow at home. She only eats Norwegian salmon and capers every day. Yes, that's it.

You don't just name a revenge album Lemonade without some real-life inspiration. Beyoncé has been known to follow the Lemon Diet, which is a cleansing drink of lemons, water, and cayenne each day.
