Who is your culinary inspiration?My culinary inspiration is and always have been the people I watched growing up. Emerald Lagossi, Rachael Ray, Paula Dean, Sunny, Carla, and Sandra. I get inspired on social media daily with the different works and foods I've seen. Also, naturally I think of dishes that sound like they may be good and I execute them to be just that.
What would you do with the $25,000?I am a mom of 4. Mathematics may get heavy when it comes to those expenses, but to put money down on a house and be able to get that started up would do the deed. Also putting some of that money towards my business (serving food with love) and growing from there.
