My mother and I, our favorite part of any baked pasta is the top, where the cheese gets crusty.

As long as you're eating well and moving your body every day, age is just a state of mind

I'm into very colorful food. Obviously lots of flavor, but I think we eat with our eyes first, so it has to look great. The presentation has to be great.

I count on chiropractic sessions to keep my body aligned. Standing for hours can impact my posture, and that can throw the rest of my body out of whack. Acupuncture helps me relax and release stress. I'm also very into massage to help release tension in my back, neck, and shoulders.

I'm comfortable in my own skin. I know I'm not going to ever be Cindy Crawford or Elle MacPherson.

I was so nervous to turn 40, but the last year and a half has been the most fun I have ever had.

I have been blessed with a good, fun, and wonderful life, but I've also seen a whole lot of pain.
