Who or what inspires you to cook?

Family and friends inspire me to cook. There is nothing more enjoyable than planning a get together and sending out the invitations. Having everyone respond by asking will you be cooking. Seeing the excitement on everyone's face when they arrive. The party never ends until all the food is gone. I can't wait to plan the next get together. Nor can they!

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I don't have one all time favorite dish that I like to make. I enjoy making the favorite dishes of my children and friends. My son loves Mexican casserole, my daughter loves chicken and noodles, they both love Boston Cream Pie. My daughtet-in-law loves Boston Cream pie cookies. My grandchildren love my homemade spaghetti and meat sauce. I have girlfriends that love my kicken chicken salad. Everyone at work loves any soup that I make. Everyone waits in line to get a piece of my cakes.

What would you do with the $25,000?

My Life would be so changed with $25,000. I love traveling and taking cooking classes in the country I am in. I have never been to Australi, Scotland, Japan or India. Then I could come back and have a great party to cook new dishes for my family and friends! I could bring a little joy and relaxation to everyone's life!
