kids cooking kitchen
Baking is how you start kids at cooking in the kitchen.
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.
fun kids cooking
Baking is how you start kids at cooking in the kitchen. It's fun whether it's baking bread or cookies. With baking, you have to be exact when it comes to ingredients.
buying power represent women
The women are at an advantage - we represent the buying power in this country.
bunch buy famous nobody
Nobody makes bouillabaisse from scratch. It's all a bunch of malarkey. Even the restaurants buy a commercial-grade product. I had a very famous chef tell me that.
downtime enjoying free job life money point pride quality saving time
At this point in my life I am just about enjoying my free time and my downtime and that's what is about for us. My job is about making your job easier. I take a lot of pride in the quality of what I present, especially in 'Money Saving Meals.'
allowed anyone brothers information otherwise raising sisters
Raising myself and caring for my brothers and sisters allowed me the benefit of a lot of information that I wouldn't have otherwise gotten. I had to be frugal, thoughtful, resourceful. I didn't have anyone to tell me, 'You can't.'
dishes hours took
When I was at the Cordon Bleu things took hours and hours and hours to make. And they were beautiful dishes - and I know how to cook that way - but I was like, 'no one is cooking like this.'
telling
When you're young, you think you can do anything, and that was really a gift. That's why I can never understand someone telling me 'no' today. 'No' just isn't an option.
montreal seasoning steak
You don't need Montreal steak seasoning on everything.
along behind car engine everybody front pull push run time
Sometimes I feel like I'm not only the engine but the caboose. I have to be in the front car and pull forward, and at the same time run around behind and push everybody along with me.
marriage means
I like being independent. I don't think that marriage means you're not independent, but right now I'm very comfortable, and I'm probably the happiest I've ever been. I feel solid. I feel safe.
thinking today overwhelmed
I think women today are so overwhelmed and overtaxed.
fun thinking tables
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?
