Who or what inspires you to cook?

Food is a way of breaking down barriers. It is an equalizer. You can take people from all walks of life. Give them a wonderful meal and we are all the same. Sharing, laughing. Coming together to love and be loved. Food is a language. It often coveys something that words simply can’t. When someone has cooked a meal with their whole heart, you feel the love. You taste the love. You see inside the soul of the person who made that meal. You come to understand who they are by the way they creat

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Well, that is a crazy hard question to answer! Believe it or not… One of my favorite things to make is a pot of pinto beans with smoked bacon and toasted pecans with jalapeño cheese cornbread made with buttermilk and sea salted maple syrup. Very big mommas house , but wow… So down home delicious!🤗

What would you do with the $25,000?

It’s definitely time for a new car! I would love to get a new vehicle and then I love the idea of professionally shooting a pilot for a cooking show! I think it would be wonderful to share down home goodness with the world. It doesn’t have to be fancy to be fabulous. Sometimes Simple is the best thing in the world.🌅 mama Ruby taught me that and she was so right❤️
