CANADIAN HOME TRENDS: If you could have lunch with any one person in the world, who would you pick and why?

MELANIE FORSYTH Steve Irwin. He lived and died a fearless life dedicated to what he was most passionate about. I really admired that about him, he had a get up and go attitude and ambition that never quit. I would have loved to just experience his energy and drive over a lunch.

CHT Do you have a favorite holiday memory?

MF Christmas dinner at my grandmas house. My most favorite memory was of all the family together and the food and happiness everyone shared. I think the tradition of just getting together with everyone left heartwarming memories that have stuck with me.
