What is your signature dish?

My signature dish is probably cinnamon rolls, but any pasta dish would be a close second. I'm in my comfort food era.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

I've always appreciated the tips and tricks given by the late, Chef Anne Burrell. (Brown food tastes GOOOOD ❤️)

What would you do with the $25,000?

My husband and I are major foodies and we enjoy experiencing other countries and cultures, so we would probably do a European food tour (and then apply the rest to our youngest daughters college fund🙃).
