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

People who truly love to sing have to do it all the time.

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.

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.

Standing behind a kitchen counter telling people about what ingredients to put in a pot didn't feel right.

I like a gooey cookie.

I love potatoes - they're my favorite food.
