What is your signature dish?

I would say falafel.

Who is your culinary inspiration?

I grew up watching the food network and Giada was one of my favorites.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would help my husband with paying for a down payment for our new home. We have been trying so hard to save to move closer to my son's kindergarten but have not had down payment. I would love a home where I can have the backyard garden and homestead of my dreams. Just a few chickens or quail and fruit trees with some veggie plants.
