Who is your culinary inspiration?I was married for 10 years, God rest his soul, but my ex-husband and I absolutely loved being in the kitchen together, we had a farm and a garden so everything was natural and fresh, I always talked about opening up my own food truck, and he was my biggest inspiration, It’s been a few years since he’s passed, and I’m ready to share my love of cooking
What would you do with the $25,000?I would open up my own food truck and try to find a place to call home for me and my kids
