GARDENER IN TRAINING
A love of the outdoors and
plants is in Bernie’s DNA:
Her father, Nick, works as
a farmer with his dad, and
Molly grows flowers, herbs
and vegetables. “Bernie loves
smelling the herbs,” says Molly,
which is fitting: The baby’s
middle name is Rosemary!MIRROR, MIRROR...
It’s pretty obvious who’s
the fairest of them all!
Dancing and smiling in
the bathroom mirror has
become one of Bernie’s
favorite activities, says
Molly—especially if she
sings “Baby Beluga”
while they’re at it.olly Yeh is at her stove, making
applesauce and prepping
doughnut batter, and she’s doing it
all with one arm. The other is snugly wrapped
around her baby daughter, Bernie (short for
Bernadette), who seems just as relaxed in the
kitchen as her mom. Molly has been cooking
with Bernie since day one: Bernie even has
a homemade cookbook to show for it. The
book—which is packed with recipes
for Molly’s favorite pregnancy snacks,
Passover dishes from Bernie’s first holiday
and Bernie-approved baby foods—was one
of the first projects the mother-daughter duo
worked on last Mother’s Day, when Bernie
was just 6 weeks old. “We had the best day,”
says the Girl Meets Farm host. “I just love
hanging out with her. Little things, like getting
an ice cream or walking around town, feel
way more significant and fun with her.”m
