Little snacks throughout the day help.
Sometimes on set, we have long, long hours.

For me, brain food is the most important thing when Im on set.
Im a big berry fan.
Any kind of berry.
Im picking on blueberries, raspberries and blackberries as much as I can.
Any berry to me is generally a go-to.
Any favorite quick meals that you might count on for busy days?
Greek yogurt with granola and a drizzle of honey.
you could make it fast, its easy to find and we usually have it on set.
you’re free to eat it at three or four different times throughout the day.
What does your ultimate Super Bowl party spread look like?
Having a viewing party to me is about variety.
Its no different than investments; you have to have a blended portfolio.
Its no different than a playbook in football; you have to have a lot of everything.
A big bowl of chips in the middle, and other dippables.
I like to add veggies to mix it up.
It needs a lot of different flavors of dips and a lot of different flavors of beer as well.
Its all about just having a lot of different options for everyone whos going to be coming over.
I know in my family, everybody has different tastes.
So then I would text everybody and I would ask what they wanted, and that was extremely time-consuming.
Id say now, I just venture to have different options and have a variety.

Could you talk more about your partnership with Heluva Good ahead of Super Bowl season?
With me, football season is the best time of year.
Heluva Good dips are a staple in my household, Im a huge fan.
They will be center stage at our upcoming viewing party in a couple of weeks.
We do it simple every season: its chips, dips and beer.
You cant name a better combo.
Any food hot takes?
I know Im Canadian, and I found out recently that it was actually invented in Canada.
Like, has anyone ever grown a pineapple in Canada?
But leave it up to us to think thats a good idea!
And Im a fan of savory and sweet, love that combination, but absolutely hate it on pizza.
I know thats a very polarizing topic.
I will never order a pineapple pizza.
The first thing you said is it; that completely hit a nerve.
What does eating well mean to you?
I think what I found over time is that you have to treat yourself from time to time.
Its what makes you happy.
