'Teenage Witch' star relishes motherhood
Ti-Shay
the world for her role on Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. Her remarkable career
began to take off when she starred in the hit Nickelodeon show, Clarissa
Explains It All, followed by a never-ending series of roles in movies and
TV shows. She's a New York native who also attended college there, but knew
that she belonged in front of, and behind, the camera.

of potty training. In addition to her life at home with her two young sons,

Q: Tell us about one of your first food TV commercials.
A: I believe my first food commercial was for Arnold Bread. I was famous
for it as a kid because it was about how fresh the bread was, and my dad
was mad because he couldn't roll it into a ball. So, at the end of the
commercial I shrieked "Moooommmm." Kids everywhere loved and mimicked that.
I was also known as the "Rice Krispies Girl" because I did one where I had
to play the piano and talk to "Snap, Crackle, and Pop." A commercial for
Lifesavers was a biggie, too.
Q: You've got a lot going on with your career and family. What do you eat
to keep your energy up?
A: I have been on a food delivery program during the weekdays to help me
stay on track. But basically I try to eat often, like every three hours to
keep my metabolism up. But I always keep some kind of protein in every meal
if possible like eggs, chicken, beans and nuts.
Q: What is your favorite scene in a TV show or movie you've done that
involved food/drink?
A: I never really liked eating on a show or movie because the food gets
cold and old quickly, and you could sit there for hours trying to finish a
scene. Probably ice cream scenes were the best because it had to be fresh.
I did a Frito Lay commercial and had to eat an entire meatloaf, mashed
potato with gravy dinner and a glass of milk for each take and we did
probably 20 takes. Then I ate about 10 bags of Fritos. My mom said she had
never really seen someone turn green until then. I won't eat Fritos anymore
... or Twinkies for the same reason.
Q: If you were really a witch, choose a food/dish that you'd put a spell on
because you'd never eat it or want to be at the same table it was served
on.
A: Maybe yellow squash because during this last pregnancy I ate it a bunch
at the beginning and got a huge aversion to it. No idea why.
Q: How would you compare producing shows and movies to creating a memorable
meal in the kitchen?
A: I'm not much of a cook, but I am still trying. I think producing a show
is a lot easier task than making dinner.
