“Marriage has given me a little family of my own. We hold each other accountable, love each other, and always are there for each other. I feel more balanced now because I know what it's like to care for others.”

“One food I've tried and I haven't grown at all to like - foie gras, I don't like it. I just don't. I've tried it several different ways, and I think it's a texture thing for me.”

“I wear a lot of hair extensions because I'm doing a lot of shoots and things like that. But for me, a good edge control is really important, and then a headscarf at night.”

“My mom is Jamaican and Chinese, and my dad is Polish and African-American, so I had a pretty diverse culinary background to work with.”

“Throughout high school, I was made fun of a lot. I was a lot smaller than the other kids, and I have a big gap in my teeth. I had pretty bad acne. So I struggled with that.”

“It's true what they say, and I am now a firm believer in the fact that every pregnancy is different for every woman!”

“I feel like Christianity gets very misconstrued sometimes. People don't realize that every day is a normal day just like anybody else, but we're just trying to improve every day. It's not about putting anybody down or telling anybody they're wrong. It's more about trying to do what's right for your own self.”

“Motherhood is far better than I expected. I love it with all of my heart.”

“Mango is always a staple in my household.”

“I love a good bowl of cereal. The unhealthy kind. Lucky Charms. Sometime I'll do Special K Chocolatey Delight, and I feel like I'm being healthy, but there's chocolate in there.”

“My husband has been an absolute angel for me. Always there when I need him as best he can.”

“I think it's important to be that strong woman and to follow your passions regardless of what your situation is.”

“The kitchen was the center of our household. I spent all of my time there growing up.”

“I wanted to keep that message of food and family alive, and how it brings people together and builds relationships and communication.”

“A good cut of steak is always a go-to splurge.”

“People don't realize it hurts my feelings when someone looks at my hair or my eyes, and says, 'But you're not actually black. You're black, but you're not black black, because your eyes are green.' I'm like, 'What? No, no, I'm definitely black.' Even some of my closest friends have said that. It's been a bit touchy for me.”

“I started preparing meals for my family when I was 12 because both of my parents worked, but I didn't know that it was something I could make a career out of until I had my daughter and realized there were people out there who were interested in learning how to prepare a quick meal.”

“The one thing my mom taught me was to never go to bed without washing my face, and so I wash my face at least twice a day.”

“I love dessert.”

“At the end of the day, the Internet is full of mean people. Who are these people in their everyday life? I pray for them.”
