Mindy went on to share what she learned from Meghan after appearing on her new show.
“I love cooking, but I’m really not good at entertaining,” the mom of three admitted. “I don’t know anything about how you’re not supposed to use overhead lighting when people come over. You’re supposed to use little lamps. But Meghan just knows how to do that stuff.”
She added, “For kids’ parties, I usually just go to the party supply store and get paper things, which I don’t judge and neither does she. But it was fun to learn simple ways to do a homemade kids’ party.”
Mindy then said that Meghan reached out to her to appear on her show after she welcomed her third child, daughter Anne, last year.
“I was on maternity leave with my daughter in March and April, and Meghan texted me that she was doing a show where she was going to cook for her friends,” Meghan recalled. “Would I want to come to Montecito and have her cook for me? I wanted to get taken care of in that moment of my life. That was a fun maternity leave field trip.”
“I left with a basket of fresh produce and homemade jam and hot sauce because she knew I loved hot sauce,” she continued. “She’s a very generous woman who knew I needed a break.”
If you missed it, Meghan recently announced that she’s making a big change to her brand.
