Martha Stewart's recipe for love features five key ingredients. Actually, make that five would-be suitors.

After announcing last week that she was teaming up with Match.com to post a profile and find someone she could "have coffee with"—and, oh, "go to bed with"—the lifestyle maven has revealed she's looked through a thousand matches and narrowed her choices down to five potential mates.

This morning, Stewart gave NBC's Today the latest on her hunt for a partner, telling Matt Lauer that after her profile received more than 20,000 views and 1,000 messages, she's eyeing two men she "could have coffee with" out of the five and plans to email them back today.

"It's very time consuming. I have gardens to plant and horses to ride and all kinds of stuff to do," she joked, adding, "It's a lot to read through."

When Lauer noted that a lot of younger men expressed interest in dating her, the domestic diva replied, "Yeah, I wonder why."

"Do they want money?" she asked.

Stewart added there's no pressure, though, since she doesn't have to answer them. But she said the five whose profiles she held in her hand were "more appropriate" matches given her age and what the guys are looking for.

"Also, political views I have to be careful about that. But all of these guys look very pleasant, nice," she said.

As for the two suitors she'd like to have coffee with, the media mogul didn't offer any details.

We wish Martha good luck!
