Who or what inspires you to cook?

I started baking as a single mom to help pay my way through medical school. I fell in love with it and have developed a passion for all aspects of the kitchen.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Green chile! ( NOT chile verde) 🤣 Carne Adovada and anything sweet and baked.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest some into opening my bakery. The rest would be used to help provide meals to children and families in the community
