Connect Who or what inspires you to cook?

Cooking has always been a big part of my life, and I owe my love for it to three incredible women—my aunties, my mom, and my grandma. They were always in the kitchen, stirring pots, rolling dough, and filling our home with the most delicious smells. More than just cooking, they created an atmosphere of love, warmth, and togetherness. Watching them, I learned that food isn’t just about nourishment—it’s about sharing, about bringing people together, and about experience.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

If I had to choose one meal to eat forever, it would be spaghetti with salad and garlic bread. There’s something about a big plate of spaghetti, covered in rich, flavorful sauce, that feels like home. It’s comforting, filling, and always brings back memories of family gatherings and warm, happy moments. Growing up, my mom, aunties, and grandma would make spaghetti often. They took their time simmering the sauce, making sure every bite was full of flavor.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I were blessed with $25,000, my first priority would be to give back by paying my tithes. I believe in honoring God first, as He is the source of all blessings. Tithing is my way of expressing gratitude and ensuring that I am sowing into something greater than myself. Next, I would use the money to clear any outstanding debt for my husband and me. Financial freedom is important, and removing debt would lift a huge burden off our shoulders, allowing us to move forward with peace of mind.
