Her friend cheekily captioned the photo with: "Savannah cooks!!" and the mother-of-three hilariously responded with: "What has happened to me?"

She later revealed that she was making a delicious chimichurri sauce, packed with herbs, garlic, and capers, and surely perfect to top off whatever they were grilling.

Good for her for challenging herself!"

The host revealed just how true the statement is, expressing her gratitude to her chef teacher by writing: "My kids (and I) thank you."
