Aside from her TV show, Molly is working passionately on a project called Recipe For A Good Start which she describes as finding recipes that will give children a good start to a healthy lifestyle. “It’s basically a contest where we are asking parents to write in and give their favorite original food recipe and the other part is giving their favorite emotional recipe,” Molly explained. “It’s something that I feel really passionate about because I’m the mother now of three and my oldest daughter is 6-years-old and I’m constantly looking for ways to give her a good start.

“My go-to recipe tends to be lasagna just because it’s so easy and I know my daughter will eat it. The most important thing to me is knowing that my daughter is eating something that she likes and it’s good nutrition. It’s good brain food for her,” Molly said. “We actually eat what we prepare together at the table, with no laptops on the table, and we spend our time talking about the highs and the lows of the day.”
