Who is your culinary inspiration?

My culinary inspiration has been brought to me by getting sober for my family and kids. cooking keeps me at my best and I continue to try new things with my cooking skills to stay that way and stay inspired by the love my family gives me and the love they have for all the food I cook so in a way I've inspired my self to reach new heights I never knew I could achieve while i was under the influence of alcohol

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the 25,000 I would make sure my family has reliable transportation finally as we depend on others to help us when they can and it is a struggle and with the rest I would love to use some towards a forever home for me and my fiance and our children and maybe of it can be budgeted take them to the most magical place on earth as I've never been there my self and its a dream id love to share with my kids
