Who or what inspires you to cook?

I grew up watching alot of cooking shows verging on baking and cooking how to prep and was also in some classes as well that demonstrates this my big role model was when I took agnishudive and the school gave me projects with how to learn to make dough rise the biggest thing for me was Utah's take on food and cooking style and my mom is a star and great at making meals. This all started when I found some cookbooks that we have a few copies of.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

My favoirte dish is Chicken Piccata I will be making for a choice of either wild rice in Cherry Tomatoes or Taco Tartlets with beef shells and a filling which will be the toppings to go with it. I also cook with eggs alot I am a protien and carb girlie!!!
