Who or what inspires you to cook?

My Grandmother inspired me to cook. I come from a family that loves to cook. As a kid I would always love to go over to grandma’s house for the holidays just so I can help her cook for the whole family! May her beautiful soul rest in peace 🕊️❤️

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Creamy pesto crab and shrimp Alfredo w/ lobster

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off any debt that I may have left over and take my daughter to Disney World because I’ve never taken her and it’s all she talks about!! I would also give back to my supporters to show my appreciation! Lastly I would continue to invest in myself and my business for growth!
