Cooking is my love language! If I cook for people it's like I'm hugging them w/ my food! I would love a food truck to give lots of hugs!

Who or what inspires you to cook?

Myself! I started cooking because I wanted others to like me, but then I realized I only needed to cook for myself to like me! I love sharing with others and hugging them with my food, but that's just a bonus. I cook because I enjoy it and I love creating things that taste delicious.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Ohhhh, that's like asking which is my favorite lung to breathe with! I love making vodka sauce over angel hair pasta. I also love making pan seared pork chops with loaded mashed potatoes. When it comes to baking I'm a cookie monster! Carrot cake cookies are my favorite to make, followed very closely by lemon cheesecake.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would save it to go towards a food truck! I would probably use a little of it to buy something fun like a convection oven first though, if I'm being honest.
