And so I’m a pretty recognizable face for a certain-age woman and people that grew up watching Beverly Hills, 90210, the original show. And so now a lot of us women have kids,” she says. “And one of the, you know, big issues, is how to get – make sure – our kids are eating healthy. And I know I struggle with it with my own kids.

“But I am kind of a foodie; I like food and I love to cook.”
“You know [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I thought I knew everything there was to know about a vegetable, but after I did this I learned so much, everyday, just shooting this,” she says. “I think that anybody that watches it will be kind of surprised, too.
