Who or what inspires you to cook?

I’m inspired by the joy of feeding the ones I love. Cooking is more than just making food—it’s about bringing people together, creating lasting memories, and sharing comfort in every bite. There’s something special about seeing the happiness on someone’s face when they enjoy a meal I’ve made. It fuels my passion and pushes me to keep perfecting my craft. My dream is to turn this love for cooking into something bigger, creating delicious moments for even more p

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

I don’t have just one favorite dish to make because I love cooking something different all the time, introducing my kids to a variety of flavors and cuisines. But if I had to choose, I’d say my kids especially love when I make chicken, rice, and beans. It’s a comforting, flavorful meal that brings everyone together at the table, and seeing them enjoy it makes it even more special.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won $25,000, I would use it to buy my boyfriend a food truck and help launch his business. Cooking is our shared passion, and this would be the perfect way to turn our dreams into reality. It would give us the opportunity to serve amazing food to the community while building a future doing what we love.
