Who is your culinary inspiration?My culinary inspiration was my grandmother. She made everything homemade . We would always have a feast when we went to her house for a holiday celebration . If we’re just visiting she always asked if you wanted a piece of her homemade apple pie Her motivation was love in all her cooking and baking .
What would you do with the $25,000?First I’m going to thank God that I was able to blessing to win that prize . Then I would donate some to charity , then leave a college fund for my youngest grandson .The season of my life right now the only thing I would like to do is probably do something that I have listed on my bucket list. So I don’t leave this world with many regrets . Hopefully I will have enough of it to live comfortably for the rest of my days .
