What is your signature dish?

I don’t think I could pick just one, I cook every day & I’m always looking for inspiration but If I had to choose my favorite thing to eat or make it would be chicken scampi.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

I’ve always loved to cook & would watch my grandma & my mom cook & bake. I lost my mom to breast cancer 2 years ago & it was always my mom that inspired me to do what I love. She always raved about my cooking & really enjoyed the sweet treats I would bake for her. I’m doing this for my mom.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I were to win the $25,000 I would use the money towards my cottage food business Karen’s Kreations.
