I didn’t even cry, I was stunned. You know, and that’s just how fast life turns. It turns on a dime.

Baking is how you start kids at cooking in the kitchen.

I can certainly be part of the socialite group and walk those carpets every day, but I choose not to because I prefer to be grounded. You can't be at home and on the red carpet.

I always buy the smaller turkeys. On the pre-baste put pats of butter on the meat under the skin, put the skin back on, put a bunch of seasoning on the top, call it a day, put it in the oven. With a 10 - 12 pound turkey you are done in a couple of hours.

I like doing food as a focal point on my table. It is not like going out and buying flowers or candles, which are expensive.

Baking is how you start kids at cooking in the kitchen. It's fun whether it's baking bread or cookies. With baking, you have to be exact when it comes to ingredients.

Baking cookies is comforting, and cookies are the sweetest little bit of comfort food. They are very bite-sized and personal.
