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 spent more than that on gas and groceries, but I really enjoyed making the show and I loved going to a viewer's house each week. I knew I enjoyed it, so I stuck with it even though it cost me.

I make a dog-friendly version of almost everything that we make for dinner.

I've never been a huge sweets eater, and I've always loved a Mediterranean diet. We eat a lot of dark leafy greens, and a couple meals each week are meat-free. We enjoy eating a balanced diet.

I have learned how to breathe, to use my cords differently. I had been tilting my head in a way when I talked that wasn't good for my throat. I've been working on all of that, and it seems to be helping.

When you really want to show some love, keep the flowers and say it with spaghetti.

I never do the dishes, because my husband has an affinity for it. And I'm also not allowed to touch the coffeemaker.

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