As a kid, I thought John Denver was the perfect Prince Charming.

Yes, I love white, and I'd wear it all the time if I could. Some people think I have an issue with cleanliness, but to me it's just so pretty.

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

When I'm really stressed out, I go to church. I light candles and sit and pray. And I'll ask myself, What's the lesson? Why am I going through this? There's got to be a reason I'm here. What am I supposed to learn?

I'm not sure that some of the food purists are in touch with what really goes on in American households.

When I came to the Food Network, I didn't want to do a cooking show. I told Kathleen Finch for nine months I didn't want to do a cooking show, I wanted to do a home-and-garden show.

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?
