Candace Cameron Bure: A beacon of light and love

Live to Eat is back with another new episode! This week I chatted with Fuller House star Candace Cameron Bure!

One could describe Candace Cameron Bure as America’s Sweetheart, but that would be an understatement! As a star on the beloved sitcom, Full House and modern spinoff, Fuller House, Candace is a worldwide sweetheart, spanning multiple generations. She is also a best-selling author and award-winning actor and producer. Candace is crushing it in the career world, and has been her whole life! And yet, in spite of all her success, she believes “kindness always wins” and relies on her faith to guide the way. Candace is also a passionate foodie and winemaker and she shares her love of food with her family, which is often centered around the family’s wood burning pizza oven. Candace recently started flexing her green thumb and has become quite the gardener, growing her own fresh vegetables and herbs. She is sharing one of her favorite, healthful veggie recipes with us here.
