Who or what inspires you to cook?

Life. My family, hunger. Also everywhere I eat seems to discontinue what I like so I have to figure out how to make it myself at home all the time ha ha. 🤣

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I love to cook everything. Especially when I can get the kids involved. The kids love tacos, so do I.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Either open my food truck or remodel my kitchen. I already have a name. “The Chameleon”
