The holidays this year are a doozy, and Tamera Mowry-Housley, like many of us, knows this too. The former Sister, Sister star, The Real host, and to my recent knowledge, The Food Network’s 2016 Cupcake Wars winner, has been keeping busy with cooking, baking, working, and being a mom. After stepping away from The Real this past summer, her new focus has been on her husband Adam Housley’s winery, her family, and her acting career. With a new Hallmark movie on the way and two kids under the age of 10, Tamera is keeping a positive outlook this holiday season while acknowledging that this year’s been a challenge. “What we’re trying to do is see the bigger picture here, knowing that this is what’s happening right now, this isn’t going to be forever,” she told POPSUGAR.
To celebrate her collaboration with frozen vegetable brand Birds Eye, POPSUGAR recently spoke with Tamera about the ways she’s staying optimistic, how she’s managing the holidays with her kids, and what recipes she’s been cooking up – plus a little Sister, Sister scoop, too (because how could we not?).

On What Food She's Been Making For the Holidays
“I mean around the holidays, chicken tortilla soup is always really nice,” she told POPSUGAR (see the recipe here). “I’m definitely more of a recipe girl though, so baking makes sense in my mind.” Tamera disclosed how she won The Food Network’s Cupcake Wars. “I don’t think a lot of people know that about me, that’s a fun fact.”

“I never realized it was going to circle back around 20 years later and be big again. It’s insane,” she told POPSUGAR. “Like, I’ve had a lot of my friends who have kids say ‘oh my god, can you please call? Can you please text?’ They don’t believe that it’s me because you know, I’m older and they think it’s new,” she laughed. “It’s cool, I think it’s really cool to be a part of an American classic.”
