“I'd probably say my biggest yo-yo was when I was finishing up my senior year of college. I lost about 100 pounds and within a year gained it all back.”

“Always be yourself. At the end of the day, that's all you've really got; when you strip everything down, that's all you've got, so always be yourself.”

“I don't consider myself a food person. I'm no Bobby Flay. I'm no Emeril or Paula Deen, and I'm certainly not Rachael Ray.”

“The best way to get anybody's attention is dinner. I have good kitchen skills and good grocery shopping skills.”

“People who are overweight don't want unsolicited advice. Guess what. We know we're fat. We live in homes with mirrors.”

“For me, whether it's in a book or on T.V., a recipe has to be simple. I have a short attention span, so to open a cookbook and see a recipe that goes on for three to four pages, well, I've lost interest.”

“I was just thrilled to get the gig to begin with. Ten years later to still have it is not only thrilling but also somewhat of a puzzlement.”
