Who or what inspires you to cook?

Watching my family and friends enjoy my food. I feel food brings everyone together. I love when they ask me to make them a favorite dish or for a recipe.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Anything that my kids love. They love my homemade bread. I do love to make shrimp Alfredo though.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d love to go to Italy and learn how to make homemade pasta and sauce. I usually buy bottled sauce and doctor it up.
