She also loves making homemade crepes, using brown rice flour in her crepe batter. “I even created a crepe tutorial for YouTube, it was hilarious! I ordered European chocolate from Amazon, similar to Nutella, and then used a raspberry sauce for toppings. I was getting obsessed,” she said about one of her pandemic activities.

“The beginning of quarantine, I did not [order from] Postmates because I was so terrified. I cooked every single meal,” Ava revealed to MTV about her pandemic hobby. “I'm not even kidding you. I told my mom, I'm like, I give you kudos, because my wrists were hurting. I was cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My niece would come over, I would make her food, and then I'd be like, wow, moms do so much. That was just cooking. That wasn't even cleaning up babies, which I don't have. I'm like, imagine being a mom. Kudos to moms. I just clap for all moms out there. Because the cooking was hard all day.”
