Jennifer Nicholson

I've always loved to cook but I've lost my passion in the last few years. I would love to get back in there and find my passion again.

Who or what inspires you to cook?

My family inspires me in all aspects of my life. My mom and grandmother taught me the basic of cooking when I was a child, but I didn't always listen, or care. It wasn't until I was married and my mother in law started teaching me her families secret recipes that I finally feel in love with cooking. I cherish those memories and try to pass them on to my daughter.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

When I was a kid my mom made this meal she called "creamy beef and cheese casserole". I lovingly renamed it to "creamy beef and crap". It's nothing special, and no one else really likes it, but it's one of my most favorite meals.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won $25K I would pay off bills that hang over my head and try to create a better life for my family. My parents are elderly and disabled, I would love to fix up their home so they wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. I would love to buy my daughter a reliable car. I would love to be able to fix some of the problems in my own house so it would last through the years to eventually become my daughters home.
