For all the folks who said Shana should have a cooking show, here's what it would sound like if profanity was allowed on Food Network. (That is if Food Network played any other programming besides Chopped marathons.) For the first time ever, Shana has recorded in her Barbie Dreamhouse sized kitchen in order to bring you into the mind of a dramatic and passionate chef.

Shana is sharing lessons she's learned since her move to NY. She's tried Brooklyn popcorn and has mastered ordering a sandwich at the bodega...or she's trying to.

This week, Shana shares her disappointment with this administration and why she needs to sell her furniture. Her friends stop by to share what they have learned from relationships, what not to eat on a first date and to laugh all over her stereo tracks.

Shana's still figuring it out. Today she's sharing some realizations and good eats with entrepreneur and Jay-Z Jr., Bryant Kirk White. The Diet that Helps Fight Climate Change https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUnJQWO4YJY
