Receive Text UpdatesTo be honest I don't know that I have just one dish. Everyone always says my biscuits and gravy is absolutely divine, all the way to my spaghetti and meatballs or Alfredo. I create sauces and always told I should jar and market them. So I can't say I have one dish.
Who is your culinary inspiration?First my Grandmother and Mother. They taught me everything from country comfort food to Italian cuisine and Chinese to scratch baking.
What would you do with the $25,000?Help my Mom get her teeth done, pay a bill or 2 and purchase a small truck for my wife.
