Sarah Michelle Gellar is promoting a new line of baking kits she created called Foodstirs, She describes them as “curated, healthy baking projects and mixes” which families can make together. They range from slightly pricey at $5.99 for brownie mix (for reference Ghirardelli is $2.08 a package) to very expensive at $17.99 for a brownie pop kit that includes popsicle sticks, frosting and sprinkles. For $17.99 at least throw in a pan! I can’t fault Gellar for getting in on the celebrity product bandwagon and at least she’s putting out products that have meaning for her and her family. Plus she’s not one of those celebrities calling the paparazzi, going to every opening and talking about her kids constantly, we barely see her.
In a promotional interview with People, Gellar talks about her 14 year marriage, to Freddie Prinze, Jr., and how she doesn’t want her kids to go into show business unless they chose it, which is sensible. She has a son and daughter with Prinze, Rocky James, four, and Charlotte Grace, seven. Her son is named Rocky?! How did I forget this?
For [Sarah Michelle Gellar] it’s important to let her son Rocky James, 4, and daughter Charlotte Grace, 7, do their own thing.
“It’s different because I wasn’t the child of someone that was in the public eye, and so unfortunately I think the rules are different,” she told PEOPLE at Kids in the Kitchen at The Grove in Los Angeles on Sunday.
“I think there’s a very different pressure for ‘the children of’ … They can decide what they want to do for themselves. I’ll never push them. But, in the meantime, they have to stick to schooling. My kids have too much stage fright anyway.”
As for her 14-year marriage to Prinze? Gellar says the key to a strong relationship is putting in effort.
“It evolves daily, and anyone that tells you that relationships aren’t work isn’t in a real one — and that goes for married couples, friends, family,” she says. “It takes work. We think we’re so connected now because of these different devices, but ultimately we’re becoming more and more disconnected.”
She adds, “It’s about putting that effort in, whether it’s a girls’ night, whether it’s making the most of any moment. My partner and I believe in that. One of the reasons we started [Foodstirs] was to spend time together.”
I agree with her about relationships, but I always thought that there must be those people who just adore each other and for whom things go much easier than the rest of us, right? I’m not one of those type of people, but they exist and they end up together in mutual admiration and harmony, in some idyllic small town. (I know, TV and movies have ruined me.) I have friends I believe are like this – they’re always saying nice things about each other and they seem truly in love after twenty years together. I’m sure they get on each other’s nerves but if so you can’t tell from the outside. I guess you never really know what’s going on in someone else’s relationship though. We’ve seen that play out a lot lately.
SMG is on Instagram, where she’s doing the “love your spouse challenge.” She’s posting a lot of sweet photos and messages to Freddie. Look at this one they’re so young! They look exactly the same now though.

SMG is 39 and she looks fab. I’m going to pair an army type jacket with a dress, but I still don’t like this dress. There are just too many ruffles.
Getting ready to turn the #Grove into @foodstirs kitchen. Can you tell I’m ready for fall? ??
