Who or what inspires you to cook?

PAPA! I discovered that I am very comfortable in the kitchen and I also find it to be therapeutic for me! I can bless family and friends with an awesome variety of Culinary meals for the Soul made with love intentionally from my heart.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I have plenty of favorites, but one dish that stands out is Duck Breast or Duck Hind Quarter, served with fresh oven-roasted Yukon potatoes. I always pair it with my go-to vegetable, which is either sautéed baby spinach or asparagus, depending on my guests’ preferences.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I will completely invest in myself to fulfill my vision of helping families, especially single parents, with meals daily. All in one food bank clothing for job search for everything that a family needs to be able to function in society due to the economic issues that are going on in this world at this time!
