I love cooking for my family and friends. Sometimes I follow recipes but when I do, I add and change ingredients to make them my own.

My mom is my inspiration. She missed her calling as a chef, but she did pass down all of her knowledge to me! We love to create meals together for our friends and family. When we’re together, we watch cooking shows and we love watching Carla Hall!
What's your all time favorite dish to make?I love making and eating this meal: Turkey Meatloaf, garlic mashed potatoes or mac n cheese, northern and pinto beans made from dried beans with jalapeños, slow cooked collard greens, savory sour cream and cheese cornbread made from scratch in my cast-iron skillet, and coleslaw. Apple pie from scratch with crumb topping for dessert and homemade whipped topping.
What would you do with the $25,000?My husband and I are going to build our retirement home soon. I would use the money to build a gourmet kitchen that my mom and I can create meals in for all our family and friends. I entertain all the time. I have my girlfriends over on Wednesday nights for wine Wednesday. We would like to start a podcast that involves our wine Wednesday group and feature a signature recipe each week.
