Decide what it is that you are and then stay true to that thing. My brand is based very much on how I live my day-to-day life.

Yum-O! I say this if something is so good that 'yum' just isn't enough of an exclamation. The accent is on the 'O' as in, 'Oh! That is so good!'

I'm an all-things-in-moderation kind of person. I do eat a warm donut occasionally. I especially enjoy a cider donut when I'm apple picking. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

I think that celebrities are just people, like everybody else, and they've got the foodie bug in them too.

Whatever it is you want to do, take a job in that field. You will learn by experience and, slow and steady, you'll get it done!

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.

It only looks like I get to eat a lot of food on TV. I really just get the one bite and the crew and guests eat everything else.
