There's an energy about Nashville that I love and I miss. And it's so awesome right now. It has a new energy that's so cool.

I almost never make stuff out of cookbooks because they're either too complicated or there's an ingredient in there that I can't find.

I finished high school, moved to Nashville for college, and set out to break into the music business. Every night when I called home with news of my experiences, my mom and dad would encourage me to keep taking those small steps.

I don't spend time wondering what might be next; I just focus on trying to savor every day.

You start out playing in kitchens, and you end up playing in kitchens.

I'm like it's - it's like taking out whatever you have in your fridge and putting it in a bowl and eating it.

For me, cooking is very connected to my family and friends.
