Demi Lovato Just Told Us Her Favorite Hydrating Drink

Demi Lovato has many talents, from her singing and acting career to her recent directorial credit in the new documentary Child Star. And on Instagram and TikTok, Lovato has started sharing a hobby that she’s been especially loving lately: cooking and baking. Veggie-packed pasta, an easy chicken dinner and homemade granola are just a few examples of what they’re serving up on social media. In these how-to recipe videos, the star has secretly been using bella kitchen appliances’ newest “Fits-anywhere” collection—which just launched this week.

In this exclusive Q&A, we asked the songwriter for her thoughts on this kitchenware line via her partnership with the brand, including her favorite product from the space-saving collection. Plus, learn more about the ingredients she always has on hand, the recipe her fiancé Jordan “Jutes” Lutes loves and the drink she doesn’t go a day without.

EatingWell: As you have recently shared your love for cooking, is there a favorite meal that you have made so far that you can’t wait to make again? (Or Jordan’s favorite!) 

Lovato: I don’t know if I can choose a favorite, I’ve been having a lot of fun exploring many different recipes in the kitchen. Jordan’s favorite is the Marry Me Chicken and we use the cookware set to make that recipe!

EatingWell: Pantry staples you always have on hand? Any underrated ingredients you think more people should have in their kitchens?

Lovato: I am a big baker, so having all the baking essentials on hand is really important to me. Having all purpose flour, vanilla extract, different types of sugar, eggs, etc. are always an essential. And for cooking, olive oil and garlic are essential to keep in the kitchen as well.

EatingWell: How do you typically start your mornings? Do you have a routine that you stick by?

Lovato: I always start my mornings with a glass of celery juice, later to be followed by breakfast and coffee. I don’t go a day without my celery juice!

EatingWell: What has been your most-used item from the new bella kitchenware collection, and what have you made with it?

Lovato: That’s a tough one because I love so many bella products, but I probably use the cookware set the most. I’ve used it across a ton of my recipes and you can always see it sitting out on my stove top. I also love the waffle maker! It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and I just fold it up and store it away when I’m done using it.

EatingWell: Favorite detail about the collection that you love as a home cook?

Lovato: I’m a big fan of the space-saving features, because I like keeping my kitchen neat without having a ton of appliances always out. So most of my bella products are easily stored away until I need to use them, since the griddle folds in half, the toaster is slim and can fit on a shelf or tucked between kitchen decor, and the blender and cookware are stackable to fit easily in a cabinet. However, I do leave some products out to show off.

EatingWell: We know your favorite snack is a pickle, but do you have a favorite type of pickle? 

Lovato: I love dill and kosher dill!

EatingWell: What does “eating well” mean to you?

Lovato: To me, eating well means listening to my body and eating intuitively. It does not follow a specific diet, it does not count calories. I focus on complete meals that will give me the nutrients I need and fuel me, and of course, I love to have a dessert too—especially with the baking I’ve been doing! Eating well to me means showing yourself love with the food that you are eating.
