There are 464 days to go before her debut book Balancing on Heels hits shelves, and Kristin Cavallari is thinking about what's for dinner. Maybe you are, too. Why not try Kristin's paella recipe?

For your convenience, Kristin posted her preferred preparation of the traditional Spanish dish on her eponymous app. Here's how she introduces the recipe:

I made this paella recently without any protein and loved it. While on vacation last week, I had the most delicious dish with mussels, shrimp, clams, and scallops and instantly thought of this paella. Second night home and I just added shrimp and scallops. I wanted to include mussels and clams but my whole foods didn't have any. Damn. Still amazing though.

Do you follow?

Kristin recently made this paella, sans protein. She loved it. Then while she was on vacation, she had a delicious dish (that was not paella?) that made her think of paella. Now here's where things get murky: "Second night home and I just added shrimp and scallops."

Hmm. This seems to indicate that on the day after Kristin returned from her vacation, she added shrimp and scallops to...something. The paella she made recently? The vacation dish? A brand-new paella? It's hard to say. The one thing we know for sure is that mussels and clams were not included in this process, because Kristin's favorite grocer was out of those items.

Still amazing, though.


This has been 500 Days of Kristin.
