I just genuinely love to cook different foods and bake desserts. I love how food can just change the whole mood or feeling of some people.

Who or what inspires you to cook?

My FAMILY and friends. They hype me up. lol 😂 but I go with it and try my best to prepare some delicious dishes.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I would have to say my brownies which I feel are not anything special. But my family and friends always have me make them at all the gatherings and have even sold them to others for their own gatherings. My mother passed in 2014 and she loved to cook and was always down for a good recipe and I believe I inherited that beautiful gene of cooking. I want to pass on my passion for cooking to my girls which my oldest is doing a phenomenal job.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would most definitely re-do my kitchen in my house so I can make more room to cook and make magic as the kids say. And I would love to put together a recipe book from recipes that have been passed down from my great-grandmother, grandma, and mother.
