I love every minute in the kitchen with my kids, even the mess (I've learned to embrace it!). I find that in the car on the way home from school, I often get one-word answers when I ask about their day. But when we're cooking, I get in-depth stories.

I think you either live a real life or you live a weird celebrity pseudolife. I think I lead a really real life.

People always tell me how lucky I am that my kids are adventurous eaters, but I don't believe that it's luck at all. By my involving them in the process, not only are they more likely to try something new, but also I can count on them to make better choices when I'm not around.

You're forced to think about what your goals are and you clarify them because you're taking this journey with another person and you need to be open with your partner.

I don't want to feel like a failure to my daughter. She's the best thing I've ever done. Buffy - pretty great and all, but Charlotte's way better.

A lot of times, when you start a show at a young age, you get stuck. You get six years of high school, but I didn't have that.

Our bodies are machines and have to be functional, and to do that they have to be fed properly.
