Who or what inspires you to cook?

My Mother and Grandmother inspired me to start cooking. That was in the 80's when everything was made from scratch. My daughter is the one who inspires me today. We've watched cooking shows together since she was 3. Now she's 17 and still cooking!

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Chicken Marsala

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would likely donate half to veterans struggling in today's society. As a country, we are not doing enough for our people that have fought for our freedoms. I would love to be a a part of the solution!
