What is your signature dish?

Homemade chicken pot pie has to be one of the favorite I make. That or deep fried burritos. My family goes absolutely crazy for both.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

Growing up, going to granny and grandpa’s house, there was only one thing on my mind. “what and baking with granny today?” Everything from fudge to her lemon meringue pies to her famous peanut butter cookies.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Start my coffee food truck. I love cooking and baking. It gives me excitement to create something extraordinary and tasty. I might not have a degree but I know my way around a kitchen.
