It was important for her new cookbook to be centered on the food her family actually eats, the wife of former NFL wide receiver Eric Decker and mother of four said.
"I cook all kinds of things," she said, noting that her family's tastes are not limited to one style of cooking.

"Just Eat" contains recipes that are "delicious, they're comfort, they're cozy and they're really family-oriented," she said.
