i knew i would get in trouble! i just don’t think it’s that special. you know what is better than pumpkin spice? chinese five spice! indian garam masala! ginger! cinnamon! cloves! anything but mushy pumpkins. whatever you make with pumpkin flavour doesn’t even end up looking pumpkin-orange... what’s the point?

i’m going to get a lot of hate for it, but...

love love love love him. he’s my prince, oh, excuse me, my king! he’s so sweet. his royal title is very accurate, since he’s prince charming! imagine! i could be the sugar plum fairy and him, prince eric! we would dance and eat candy and leave sparkles and glitter wherever we go. yep, i really like kam-kam! he came to my rescue when i was a poor damsel in distress and he’s just awesome. what’s not to love? i’m currently searching for castles on sale so we can live out our fantasy. @kamsaelim

forgetting aidan is impossible. i prefer barbie and i to be the ultimate otp, but...

i sure as hell hope so! he’s one of the best chefs on this planet, if i can beat him again... houston (texas yeehaw) we have a problem! do you know the secret behind a good pumpkin pie? adding so many other spices that it’s not a pumpkin pie anymore. don’t worry, though! i still sell adorable tiny tartlets at my bakery for everyone else. i just don’t taste test them, but i know they’re good. because i make them, duh!

i had a career to build, you know? i had to secure my future and take care of my parents and make sure they had everything they need. i’ve focused on work for... the last decade, i believe? it’s a very long time. this is what i wanted had to do. i don’t think you can be truly ready for a tiny human being to turn your life upside down. putting a time limit is also not a good idea, in my opinion. life has a way of surprising us and i’ve learned the hard way that sometimes it’s best just to go with the flow. to me, having kids go beyond popping a small potato looking alien out of my lady parts. you can be a parent figure in so many ways! adoption, fostering, having pets, taking care of relatives, of friends’ children... as much as i want children, it’s also not the only way to feel complete and fulfilled as a woman. if i never get the chance to have my own, i hope i can still be surrounded by happy kids and i can find ways to share all of my love and affection with other people in my life.

non? i’ve never had feelings for him. just because a man and a woman are friends doesn’t mean they have feelings for each other. i know, it might be shocking, but that’s not how it always works! the opposite would mean that gordon ramsay is crushing on me and i don’t really know how to feel about this. but, no, never have and never will. i really love hunter, as a friend! he’s super smart and funny and kind and i love making fun of his accent. he gives great hugs too, and that’s very important. it’s like my number one requirement in a friend, it’s also the only requirement. i’m really sorry, but cowboys aren’t my type. @hunt-huffred

i really do! i never thought television would be such a passion of mine. i got really lucky, you know. i’m so thankful for every opportunities i had and everything it brought me. but i miss it. i really do! i don’t really miss the stress of the competition shows, but i miss seeing other people’s creativity. i met so many amazing amateur and professional chefs! i would do it all over again, even if it means leaving vesta. don’t get me wrong, it’s a good place to be, but if food network were to email me and ask me to film, i can’t promise i would stay here any longer. it’s not like i really belong here anyway.
