“There are things that I do agree with in Christianity and things that I don't agree with. I'm not a regular churchgoer, but I do think that I have my own beliefs that I feel strongly about.”
“I'm not a trained chef. I'm a self-taught cook, and I want people to be like, 'Yo, I could do that! Maybe I didn't think to or maybe it seemed harder than it really is.'”
“Most of our traditions revolved around the kitchen, and the thing that stands out to me is my mom makes Turducken. Most people think it's some kind of great myth in the world, but my mom makes it.”
“I'm OK with messing up sometimes and not getting everything perfect - and there's something really relatable there for people that aren't so seasoned in the kitchen.”
“My mom was probably the biggest influence. She cooked dinner every night. We sat around the table every night. It was a very traditional family.”
“I love to cook. It is a simple pastime.”
“I love kale.”
“I love learning how to make new dishes.”
“I'm so grateful every single day for 'Real Girl's Kitchen.'”
“My advice to moms that have to go to work is to just be easy on yourself and know that you're doing the best you can.”
“I have a very small group of friends that I've had - the three of them - for the majority of my life.”
“It's so easy to grow in the ground! It's truly the easiest thing to grow. You can bring kale to you.”
“When I was a kid - and I don't know why, it's the most random thing - I wanted to be a speech therapist for little kids. I knew I wanted to do something with kids.”
“I think that any moms that leave, even for the day at work, and come home every night will tell you that it's not easy.”
“I grew up in a household where we cooked all the time. My mom cooked all the time; my dad cooked. My grandmothers cooked. I have memories of sitting on the counter and snapping green beans with my grandmother.”
“I used to have a BlackBerry. E-mail and text messaging and all those things that make life so much easier now.”
“We were never the family that ordered pizza, and my mom never came home with a bucket of fried chicken. My mom always made home-cooked meals. We always sat down at the dinner table as a family.”
“I was always a huge fan of Nora Ephron.”
“I guess I would be most grateful for my family and my friends and my dogs, my boyfriend. I'm grateful for a lot. I'm grateful to be healthy.”
“My mom, ever since we were little girls, has really always rallied us together - my sister, our friends - to instill in us the fact that other people don't have what we have, so we have to be really thankful for things.”
