“I’ve been really busy, but I enjoy cooking,” Lauren told Us Weekly. “It’s nice to spend 30 minutes to an hour just having a drink, making dinner and listening to music. It’s my wind-down for the day.”

She added, “I usually try and do new stuff or tweak [recipes] — nothing crazy, I am not a chef. The craziest I get is swapping out ingredients or trying to make delicious recipes a little healthier.”
