Who or what inspires you to cook?

Like many, I’ve had some food allergies growing up, so trying to find things that taste awesome without certain ingredients is fun to me! I feel good when I can cook for my kids and knowing what’s in it. And when they eat it, it’s a win! And honestly, I like to show my husband and my dad that I’m a good cook. There’s no true depth to my answers—-But when I cook something delicious , healthy, and everybody eats it, I feel like a champ!!!

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

For the holidays, my mom’s Christmas Yule Log! It brings back so many memories, and I know how tickled she’d be if she knew I carried on her tradition. As for comfort food—- Pork schnitzel!!!!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Well— the mom and wife in me wants to say I would put it towards getting our basement done… Because our kids have nowhere to play. The fun gal in me would be to go on an adventure with my husband—-somewhere that we would never be able to afford otherwise. We never went on a honeymoon… so those are my two answers!! Maybe I could swing both?
