Receive Text UpdatesMy passion for cooking comes from my adopted mother, my love for wellness, and the joy of bringing people together. She inspired me with her creativity and warmth in the kitchen, showing me that food is more than just a meal—it’s love, tradition, and healing. I try to blend culinary arts with cannabis science to create nourishing dishes that promote wellness. Cannabis cooking allows me to support other veterans & those in need of medicinal healing by offering natural alternatives
What's your all time favorite dish to make?My all-time favorite dish to make is infused Cajun seafood pasta. I love blending bold, spicy flavors with creamy, herb-infused sauce, creating a dish that’s both comforting and healing. The rich combination of shrimp, crab, and smoked sausage pairs perfectly with cannabis-infused butter, offering relaxation and wellness benefits. It’s a flavorful, soul-warming meal that brings people together while highlighting the power of food as both nourishment and natural medicine.
What would you do with the $25,000?I’m launching a science-backed cannabis-infused cookbook that blends my Master’s in Medical Cannabis with a deep passion for healing through food. Teaming up with some of my favorite cannabis chefs, I’ll create flavorful, therapeutic recipes designed to educate, empower, and uplift. This project will deliver high-quality content and serve as a powerful resource for veterans and communities seeking wellness through plant-based alternatives.🍃
