I am as omnivorous as it's possible to be. I always say there's nothing I won't eat and nothing I won't wear.

If you have children in your house you have Frosted Flakes.

I always think, after the second glass of wine, you should be putting something in your stomach.

There are two schools of fried chicken. One is brining in salted water and the other is soaking in either buttermilk or milk. I just combine the two.

One thing that happens when you're pregnant is that as your stomach starts to stretch. It itches! So I have to keep my belly really lubricated. Every morning, there's a buttering ceremony after I get out of the shower. It's really like basting a turkey with body butter.

I usually doze off between 7:30 and 9 p.m. while putting my baby to sleep. Then I suddenly wake up remembering I'm an adult with no bedtime. I spend the next four hours catching up on reading, e-mails, and other adult pursuits until I collapse for good until sunrise.

During the course of filming 'Top Chef,' I gain 15 lbs., so I'm used to needing two dress sizes.
