Who is your culinary inspiration?I love so many different culinary inspirations. Carla Hall, Duff, Guy, etc. I love watching anything cooking and baking. I've learned a lot by watching food network.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would buy a home for my family and I so we don't have to live in a motel anymore. It would be a blessing to own a home. I would try to follow my dream of getting a culinary degree and open a small place so then my family can work with me and we wouldn't have to struggling or worry so much. For once in my life I could be comfortable and would be able to get all the medical things that I need. This would be a complete life changing experience.
