Who or what inspires you to cook?

My family is my number 1 inspiration! Next is everyone that I come in contact with! I love to make an impact on everyone and a good way to do that is by feeding them the good food!

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I found a new favorite in the past year! I love cooking Indian for and can throw down a mean vegan lentil curry! MY KIDS EVEN LOVE IT!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25k towards expanding my catering and BBQ sauce operations. I want to have my own kitchen that I can cook out of and also bottle sauces in! I would use the money for equipment and supplies!
