Rotel dip, with Tostitos cheese instead of Velveeta. Adds more consistency and flavor I love making it with my mom all the time
Who is your culinary inspiration?Martha Stewart, and my aunt she whips it up in the kitchen
What would you do with the $25,000?I’d probably invest in a small business idea—like maybe a food truck or a pop-up bakery. It gives you a lot of creative freedom, and I can grow from there. I also really love acting and modeling so I would invest in that aswell!
