Her limitless confidence in the kitchen and ability to keep our family strong dynamic has always been a longstanding factor in how I raise my family.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?Definitely Butter Poached Lobster. I’ve witnessed people fall in love with each other. Personally, food is the way to a person’s heart. It’s rich, full of flavor, paired with a glass of champagne. The poached lobster is soaked in butter topped with a champagne tarragon reduction.
What would you do with the $25,000?Take a family trip ❤️ And donate to a non profit organization Conrad Smiles is working on a documentary that will promote inclusion and the better understanding of pediatric non fatal drowning, now called Conrad Syndrome. “A Boy Named Conrad” will help not only pediatric non fatal drowning children, but all conditions where children cannot advocate for themselves.
