My idea of heaven used to be relaxing at home with a cheese plate and champagne.

I'm on a health kick! I'm drawn to cheeseburgers so I've got to just try and keep it on an even keel.

I feel cheesy when I see 'Silver Spoons.' Some of it was funny but some of it was just cheese! My kids love it but I look at it and cringe.

I can celebrate food anytime. I love cheese. When I crave a certain food I just eat it.

You can buy a box of low-fat macaroni and cheese made with powdered nonsense. I'm not worried if I'm using four different cheeses and it's high in fat. It's real food. That's what's more important.

St. Louis has a lot of weird food customs that you don't see other places - and a lot of great ethnic neighborhoods. There's a German neighborhood. A great old school Italian neighborhood with toasted ravioli which seems to be a St. Louis tradition. And they love provolone cheese in St. Louis.

I can safely say that other than macaroni and cheese there's no processed food in my life. There's no inorganic food in my life these days. There's no junk food. There's not a lot of sugar. There's no soy. I mean really everything that's going into my body is pretty pure.

Everyone prefers some foods over others but some adults take this tendency to an extreme. These people tend to prefer the kinds of bland food they may have enjoyed as children - such as plain or buttered pasta macaroni and cheese cheese pizza French fries and grilled cheese sandwiches - and to restrict their eating to just a few dishes.

The number one mistake is giving pets table scraps. I made the mistake thinking I was showing my dog love by giving her food and treats. You see a tiny 4 oz. piece of cheese but for a Boston Terrier like mine that's like one and a half hamburgers. That's unhealthy.

Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet - the fish guy at your market the lady at the local diner farmers cheese makers. Ask questions try everything and eat up!
