“Portion control is not an option for me. I like mass quantities, so I have to create healthy meals that I love but won't feel guilty about eating.”
“A lot of people are kind of snobby about garlic powder and onion powder. I happen to love them.”
“I would have loved to have been an aesthetician. I love, like, anything to do with - I know this sounds kind of gross - but any kind of zit popping is so fascinating to me.”
“My cooking style is really simple. Not a lot of ingredients, but all good quality, so you don't have to do that much to them.”
“During the summer, I used to hate when my mom would call me inside to eat - it was such a drag to leave all the fun.”
“I grew up cooking. I was always in my grandma's cooking, and I never thought of it as a career.”
“The best thing about summer entertaining is it doesn't have to be fancy - and you can eat outdoors. You can use a tablecloth or just a piece of fabric you love. You can't go wrong with white candles; put them in jars or hurricane vases.”
“I love to have my girlfriends over for a movie night of chick flicks. I usually make some simple snacks, and the favorite is always my Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip.”
“I don't put myself out there - I'm really a homebody.”
“When you're going to meet your man's mom and dad, it's always nice to bring them something homemade and from the heart.”
“I love comfort food - it's the basis of everything.”
“My secret for feeding a bunch of guests without seeming stingy is pork tenderloin. It's an inexpensive cut that looks impressive and is full of flavor. Plus, guys love it.”
“The rich, hearty flavor of portobello mushroom caps are a dynamite alternative to the traditional burger.”

“I wash my hands constantly in the kitchen, so they're always dry.”

“I come from a family of great cooks and big eaters.”
“I grew up eating chicken and dumplings in my grandma's kitchen.”
