My dad loves to cook. I'm half Thai, and growing up that's all we ate in my house. My dad was very big on the idea that dinnertime and cooking time was also family time.

think a lot of people knew I was into healthy eating and exercising. When Disney approached me with this [Pass the Plate] I was really excited about it because I love to cook. It's a great message to send to kids that there are so many different ways to eat really healthy foods. It doesn't have to be boring and blah all the time.

I'm a huge breast cancer awareness advocate because my mom went through breast cancer recently. It really brought our family closer.

Eat your alcohol, or you won't get nonconsensual sex!

Coming from The Disney Channel, anything I do is going to offend somehow, somewhere, somehow.

I'd like to have any sort of Mexican or Italian food any time of the day!

I love to bake. I like to bake with wheat and try not to eat sugar so I use applesauce instead, which probably sounds really gross. When I was doing the promos we included tomatoes, mangoes, rice - all the different ways you can eat them - and we were able to incorporate some of the recipes I've learned, like a spinach mango salad. It was really fun to get creative with food because sometimes people forget that.
