Who is your culinary inspiration?

My culinary inspiration comes from people who cook with heart, purpose, and creativity. A great culinary inspiration isn’t just someone who makes food taste good; it’s someone who brings people together through meals, traditions, and love. Examples Carla Hall, Julia Childs, Ramsay just to name a few.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won the $25,000, I would use it to help create stability and lasting memories for my family. With gas prices, bills, and everyday expenses continuing to rise, this opportunity would truly make a difference in our lives. I would first pay off credit card debt to help relieve financial stress during these challenging economic times. I would also take my family on a much-needed vacation so we could relax, reconnect, and enjoy quality time together.
