mean giving missing
Give yourself permission to get the most out of your life. If you're spending all your time scrubbing corners with a toothbrush, you're kind of missing the point. Taking shortcuts doesn't mean shortcutting the end result.
skins different bones
Different types of chicken come at different price points. Filets are going to be more expensive. If it's bone-in and skin-on it's going to be less expensive.
children taken thinking
I don't think there are any footsteps to be walked in. No one else has taken things that you can buy at the grocery store and put them together. I hope that I have a career as long as Julia Child.
fun years soul
My years of living the jet-set life were fun, but they weren't fulfilling. The perks and benefits were lovely, but all of the fabulous furs, fancy jewelry and fun fetes simply weren't enough to fill my soul.
children gay rights
I'm an activist for gay marriage equality and children's rights. I'm the face of Share Our Strength.
light stressed-out church
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?
christmas thanksgiving stressed-out
Christmas is more stressful with present buying and making sure everyone gets included, but Thanksgiving is really not that. I don't ever really get stressed out about the food.
goes-on not-sure household
I'm not sure that some of the food purists are in touch with what really goes on in American households.
men chef ifs
If you've attended the Cordon Bleu, you would know that no woman is supposed to be a chef - only men.
sweet pie baking
Instead of doing cinnamon, nutmeg, and all those baking spices I'll have one spice that's for sweets, and that's pumpkin pie spice.
life dimes turns
Life can turn on a dime.
home garden cooking
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.
book careers people
Why I have had such a huge career and why I have sold over four million books, is that people can do what I share with them to do.
children america issues
The issue I have always felt most strongly about is hunger in America, in particular the children.
