I make great family food. Comfort with a touch of American Italian. Top notch recipes- Zucchini soup, a 5 hour brisket low and slow, and shrimp carbonara.
Who is your culinary inspiration?Ina Garten, the Queen! I have a home in Corolla, NC and her coastal inspection, lifestyle, and recipes are something I try to learn from.
What would you do with the $25,000?I am in the sandwich generation. I am caring for my Dad who has brain cancer. My kids have just left the nest but are not quite there yet. I spend my days checking on everyone. If I was lucky enough, I would take the 25,000 and take my family to Italy. We would eat, tour, and celebrate our heritage.
