Sigh, Haylie Duff just gets us. Greens tossed with lemon – her healthy obsession? Yes, exactly, us too. Roast chicken on the regular? Co-founder Carly de Castro makes our favorite roast chicken of all time! And piloxing? Girl, all day. These little details and more are why Haylie is the “real girl” behind Real Girl’s Kitchen that we can’t get enough of.
