Who or what inspires you to cook?

I love to make people hum when they take a bite of my food. I love feeding people. My grandparents, parents, my family inspire me to share delicious recipes that have been handed down by generations! Southern taste is my favorite to make! Who doesn’t like comfort food? Would love to prove to my children that anything is possible at any age, fulfilling a dream is possible.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Oh man… That is a hard one, but I really enjoy making a beautiful german chocolate cake!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I am in the process of completing a cookbook for firehouses, to help guide rookies how to cook for a firehouse full of hungry men. These funds would help me with completing and distributing at fire graduations.
