When it came to meal time, Flay didn&#8217;t treat his daughter any different just because she was a child. Instead, she said, he stated he treated her like he would treat any other person. Therefore, Flay told her, &#8220;when [he] ate salmon, [she] ate salmon&#8221; instead of foods that are considered kid-friendly, like pizza. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We [in America] have kids who are stuck on sugar and pizza,&#8221; said Kirkland. &#8220;Recently, I made gorgonzola gnocchi, and my son&#8211;he&#8217;s two&#8211;ate it and loved it,&#8221; she said. She loves the fact that she is helping her son try new foods in order to educate his palatte. <\/p>\n<p>If she was on Flay&#8217;s &#8220;Next Food Network Star&#8221; team, Kirkland stated her passion for teaching parents how to teach their children about food would be at the center of her hypothetical show&#8217;s message. &#8220;My show would be called &#8216;Your Kids Will Eat It,&#8221; she said. &#8220;You can give your child delicious, exotic, tasty food. They may not like all of it, but they will like some of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She might not have a Food Network show at the moment, but she is taking what she learned on &#8220;Worst Cooks&#8221; to heart; she&#8217;s currently writing a cookbook. Kirkland, who also has appeared in films like &#8220;All About Steve&#8221; with Sandra Bullock, wants people to go for their dreams. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just be fearless,&#8221; she said. &#8220;On &#8216;Worst Cooks,&#8217; I was in the bottom two twice, but I didn&#8217;t give up. If I had a defeatist attitude, I would never have won.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/kellikirklandjpeg-e1339538435219.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/kellikirklandjpeg-e1339538435219.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"kellikirklandjpeg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-96773\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Photo credit: Bobby Quillard)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kelli Kirkland is known for winning season 3 of Food Network&#8217;s &#8220;Worst Cooks In America,&#8221; but she&#8217;s also got an opinion on former &#8220;Worst Cooks&#8221; teacher\/competitor and current team coach on The Next Food Network Star&#8221; Bobby Flay.
