I don't think young men or women should feel pressured into marriage. You shouldn't marry anyone, in my opinion, who you have to try hard for.

I tried to bake a cake for my mother's birthday - it took me four hours. It was terrible, and I cried for three days.

If you're preparing a dinner for friends or a holiday dinner, make sure to only prepare recipes you are comfortable with and have cooked before. Cooking for others is not the time to try out a recipe for the first time. You end up spending all your time in the kitchen instead of enjoying your company.

I've also learned that you can't be all things to all people. Whatever it is that you're successful at, that has to be the No. 1 goal.

I did 30 Minute Meals for five years on local television, and I earned nothing the first two years. Then I earned $50 a segment.

I have a fat head - I get freaked-out looking at pictures of me.
