White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has shared a glimpse into her life at home as a mother and wife - while juggling a return to work with her glam co-workers at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. On Sunday night, Leavitt, 27, took to her Instagram stories to share that she was making chicken piccata, a dish that consists of breaded chicken cutlets in a creamy lemon sauce. The former Congress hopeful lives with her husband, Nicholas Riccio, 59, and their one-year-old son, Nicholas Robert.
'Chicken piccata incoming...' Leavitt wrote on her Instagram story in a photo that showed off the ingredients she was using, along with an emoji of a chef. And it looks like many of her ingredients are actually Jeff Bezos-approved, as she included a variety of products from Whole Foods' in-house 365 brand. In 2017, Bezos' Amazon acquired the grocery giant for $13.7 billion.
Of course, Leavitt was using chicken breasts by the 365 label, as well as organic angel hair pasta, capers and parsley. In addition, the mom-of-one had all-purpose flour, chicken stock, butter, minced garlic, lemon and olive oil in the lineup. It seemed to be a success, as the next video shared on her Instagram story was a close-up of the chicken simmering in a pot on the stove.
She had covered the chicken breasts with slices of lemon and seasoning. 'If you could only smell my kitchen... delish!' Leavitt typed on top of the clip, adding in an emoji that was licking its lips. The pot she used, made by the cookware brand Carote, is also available for purchase on Amazon.
Leavitt's weekend at home seemed like a moment of respite from the week before, after she announced that the White House would be building a brand new ballroom. That same week, she posted a snap on Instagram alongside her glamorous Trump aides Margo Martin and Meghan Bauer, cheekily captioning it, 'West Wing girls.' Martin is the Special Assistant to the President and Communications Advisor, while Bauer is the Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Presidential Scheduling.
Leavitt posed in the middle of the two as they stood outside The White House, wearing a blue-and-red tweed mini dress by designer Maje, which retails for $565. The dress features a short, pleated skirt with gold buttons and black trim on the sleeveless top. Leavitt paired the look with nude heels. Next to her, Martin looked chic in a tan, flared-leg pantsuit, finishing off the look with suede heels complete with a buckle at the toe. Bauer, who was on the other side of Leavitt, wore tailored white pants and a navy blue jacket with gold buttons. She wore a similar pair of shoes to Martin, but in a pale blue color.
The women on Donald Trump's team have previously been labeled as his 'stunning secret weapons,' which includes Martin and Leavitt. Last month, Martin showcased what a day in her life looks like working for The President. Martin started the day with a workout at the gym, followed by her morning skincare routine and putting on a dress with a blue top and denim skirt before heading into The White House.
The glamorous aide showed viewers around her office, including her desk and giant tumbler cup with the presidential seal. Later that day, she sat with Leavitt on the flight to Des Moines to promote his 'Big Beautiful Bill.' For lunch, Martin ate salad topped with steak, hard-boiled eggs, red onion, cucumbers, corn, olives, and a creamy dressing, as well as a fruit tart for dessert. She showed Trump dancing on stage at the Iowa State Fairgrounds to kick off the 'America 250' celebration.
