- If there’s no trophy at the end, is it really even worth playing?
- I’m not saying I’m competitive, but if life were a game, I’d definitely be winning.

- A clean home is a happy home—and a controlled home is an even happier one.
- Dust is just little pieces of things I didn’t allow to live in my apartment.
- You think you know someone, and then you see how they load a dishwasher.
- Cleaning isn’t just about hygiene, it’s about control over the chaos of life.
- If you can’t handle me at my worst—which probably involves a turkey on my head—then you don’t deserve me at my best.
- Ross is my brother; sure, he drives me crazy, but if you mess with him, you mess with me—unless it’s Pictionary, then you’re on your own.

- I plan my holiday menus like I plan my life—meticulously, with room for dessert.
- The secret to a successful holiday dinner? Three simple things: timing, alcohol, and a backup turkey.
- Holiday hosting is my Super Bowl; I do my own stunts, and yes, there will be halftime entertainment.
- My holiday dinners are like my episodes of perfection—recorded and remembered for a lifetime.
- Every chef’s hat I’ve worn has taught me something new, especially about what I don’t want to be cooking.
- In the kitchen, like in life, you’ve got to take the heat if you want to come out on top.
- I’ve faced hot stoves and cold shoulders in this career, and I’ve seasoned them both with success.
- The path from sous chef to head chef is paved with hard work, a few burns, and a lot of tasting spoons.

- Marrying your best friend is great, but remember to schedule your freak-outs around their favorite TV shows.
- In marriage, like in cooking, it’s all about finding the right balance—between salt and sweet, and nights in and nights out.
- Chandler and I have a recipe for success: one cup of love, two tablespoons of humor, and a whole lot of Netflix.
- Falling in love with Chandler was like discovering I liked whipped cream on my pie—unexpected but totally meant to be.
- Our marriage mantra? Laugh together, cry together, and never let the other person do the dishes alone.
- I used to be bigger than I am now, but I’ve learned that the best weight to lose is the weight of other people’s opinions.
