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

Instead of doing cinnamon, nutmeg, and all those baking spices I'll have one spice that's for sweets, and that's pumpkin pie spice.

If we want to truly live, at some point, we find the dark facts of psychic life demand our full attention.

Christmas is more stressful with present buying and making sure everyone gets included, but Thanksgiving is really not that. I don't ever really get stressed out about the food.

My most cherished possessions are my grandma's letters and my vintage Martha Washington cookbook.

I like to create what I call 'tablescapes.' It's so much more fun when you organize your table around a theme, don't you think?

I had to be frugal, thoughtful, resourceful. I didn't have anyone to tell me, 'You can't.' When you're young, you think you can do anything, and that was really a gift. That's why I can never understand someone telling me 'no' today. 'No' just isn't an option.
