Julie agreed, saying, "I will incorporate some of that into it."

As for what she envisions the "tone" for her new cooking show to be, she shared that she wants it "to be real" and something that people could follow along to.

"I want it to be things that I actually cook, and I want it to be things that everybody else can cook," she explained. "I don't want it to be crazy ingredients that people have to go out here and search and find. I want the majority of it to be things that if you cook, that you would have in your pantry to cook."
