Who or what inspires you to cook?

My Mom! She is someone who can make the most delicious meal out of anything and I truly admire her love of cooking and thankful we share the same passion. My kids, they love cooking with me and since they could walk I had them next to me in the kitchen. I keep a recipe binder that I can’t wait to one day pass on so they can make and improvise on using their own creativity. My husband, because even after 20 years, he still loves everything I make :)

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Any type of casserole where I can get a protein, veggie and carb all in one pan. One pan meals or anything I can meal prep is a huge win for me. Between work, kids and sports schedules it helps me save time and allows me to be more present for my family while still creating a delicious meal.
