“Don’t be afraid to try new things and make it your own.”

I started [drinking it] once I started dating my husband, no joke.
That’s where my love of coffee began.
And now that I’m a mother, it gets my day started.
Ever since I was younger, I’ve always liked to share my experiences.
And once I became a mom, that magnified.
Whatever I felt helped me, inspired me, I wanted others to experience it.
I have an espresso machine, I cannot live without it.
I just wanted to be able to share that with other moms.
Sometimes it’s the little things that help make your day and make you feel good in the moment.
It’s all about texture, that creaminess, so I have recently enjoyed goat milk.
I was in Ireland shooting a film, and they had goat milk and it tasted amazing.
It gave my coffee this creamy, velvety fluffiness.
I also love pouring the milk over a spoon into my cup of espresso.
And I’ll have it with honey.
EatingWell: Do you have any tips for moms trying to get dinner on the table quickly?
EatingWell: Is there a recipe or dish in your family that helped spark your love for cooking?
Mowry-Housley: It wasn’t necessarily a recipe or dish.
I mean my mom can cook.
Fried chicken, collard greens, fried catfish, I was raised on amazing soul food.
My mom loves to watch people eat the food she prepared.
That’s what I feel we’re passing down into our family.
EatingWell: What does “eating well” mean to you?
Mowry-Housley: Intuitively eating.
That’s what eating well means to me.
Everyone on this planet deserves that right.
Food is fuel, and we are what we eat.
