a dozen waffles for him and left them in the fridge, so he had dinners —breakfast for dinner [their favorite]— when I was gone. Just little things like that," she says with a smile. You learn a lot about Danica from her podcast, this is where I heard that the cute couple love breakfast for dinner and that Danica dropped out of high school and moved to England to advance her racing career. "I learned how to cook when I was there. My third year there, I was fully alone, so you learn how to cook when you have to live alone, y'know?" If you follow Danica on Instagram, you'll see that she's really into health and fitness, and is the first to advocate for healthy eating. "Anybody that thinks healthy food tastes bad just doesn't try hard enough or they really don't want to eat healthy and they're just coming up with an excuse. I mean, look, that's very, very aggressive and blunt, but the truth is, you do have to put a little effort into it. You have to find what you like. Pizza, cakes... that all tastes great. You can learn," she says. "My diet goes through many phases and the window of creativity gets a little more narrow when you keep eliminating more and more ingredients, but you just come up with more new ways to prepare them," says Danica. She has eliminated gluten, dairy, beans, and grains from her diet. "We eat a lot of fish. We don't really eat so much meat as in birds or cows. Salads are actually harder to make than people think. I'm mostly eating paleo without the meat parts." When it comes to dinner, cooking vegetables, like squashes and potatoes, are on her go-to list. And there's always room for life's indulgences, especially great wine. Cooking, eating, and wine —these are Danica's simple pleasures. In 2009, Danica bought property in Napa Valley to develop her own vineyard and named it, Somnium, which means dream in Latin. "I can't tell you how many times I have signed an autograph for a child and added the note —dream big! It is a life motto— it's how I think, how I live, and what I preach!" Danica states on her website. Passionate, driven, and always ready to do the work needed, we can't wait to see where Danica's dream-chasing takes her next.
