OUR FAVORITE QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE

“I don't want to make food just for my kids. I want to make food that my husband and I will enjoy, and give my kids the opportunity to try it or not.” — Laura Fuentes

“My responsibility is to provide the opportunity to raise independent people because soon they're leaving the nest, and I just want to make sure that they don't rely on drive-thru when they're in college, or they can do basic things. That's important to me.” — Laura Fuentes

“There is nothing wrong with not knowing and having to look for an answer.” — Laura Fuentes

“You're not a parenting failure because you are just starting and your teenagers don't know how to do anything.” — Laura Fuentes

“Cooking is a lifestyle. We always need food. And because we learn fractions, science, measurements, reading, math from cooking.” — Rhea, cooking kiddo
