Who or what inspires you to cook?

The Food Network REALLY inspires me but, I also get recipes from TikTok and Facebook Reels. I also love to take an idea for A recipe and go outside the box with it.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Robert Irvine made a steak dish on restaurant impossible. I don’t know the name of it but it sliced steak over mashed potatoes, vegetable of your choice over the steak and flash fried onion rings on top of the vegetable. Drizzled with a broth gravy from the pan.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to say something to do with food. Like A hands-on class on how to cook in my Dutch oven outdoors with a fire. And try to pay off my property taxes it’s on my credit card and pay for homeowners insurance.
