It's really easy to figure out why I love what I love, the holidays and food. I know the difference between having them and not having them.

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.

If you've attended the Cordon Bleu, you would know that no woman is supposed to be a chef - only men.

My brand is a demography-breaker. It speaks to all homemakers and women from all walks of life and all across society.

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

My secret to survival has been embracing life's challenges and not letting them dictate my frame of mind or determine my fate... Learning to stand strong in the face of challenge and adversity is the only way to get through the tough times.
