Who or what inspires you to cook?

My grandkids inspire me to want to do better and change my lifestyle; they make my life worth living! It would be a dream come true to be the Favorite Chelf to cook and live a healthier life!

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

7 layered salad is my favorite… •washing vegetables •cooking bacon •boiling eggs •slicing green onions •dicing tomatoes •cutting cauliflower •crumbling lettuce •draining peas •making the sauce •layering all 7 ingredients •topping with sauce •chilling in the refrigerator and then grubbing!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to improve my health and to be able to afford to change to a healthier lifestyle. I haven’t always been able to afford healthy foods, on a regular basis, to be able to control my diabetes, and I know there are thousands who could testify the same. This money could help start me on my journey to have a better life; loose the weight I need to get rid of diabetes, and be an inspiration to others. I’m almost 60, and I choose to live!
