34. Bernedoodle: Bernese Mountain Dog & Poodle

A blend of the Bernese mountain dog and the Poodle, this hybrid is an excellent choice for those who wish to have a loving canine companion in their home but have allergies to contend with. The intended disposition of this mixed breed is to be the perfect companion dog. "Their only job is to be your best friend," says Sherry Rupke of Swissridge Kennels, who is credited as being the first breeder to intentionally mix Poodles with Bernese mountain dogs.

By mixing the Bernese mountain dog with the Poodle, the result is a designer dog breed that exhibits the best characteristics of two of the healthiest breeds of dogs. In fact, due to a theory known as "hybrid visor", it's likely that your Bernedoodle will have a longer and healthier lifespan than even their purebred parents. Bernedoodles are content to join you on a hike or run, or a snuggle on the couch during movie time.

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
