Receive Text UpdatesI have several. One family fav is Egyptian roast dinner. My own Holiday dressing and Thanksgiving dinner, if I say so myself , is the best. Apple dumplings. Rolls. Pecan, apple and pumpkin pies i make like no one else and i've never shared my recipes, but I would for Taste of Home and Carla Hall. I' d like to make something that would go with the time of year that it airs. I have many dishes I could do. This would change our life the boys that we adopted trying to make a positive impact.
Who is your culinary inspiration?Mom, grandmother, Carla Hall LOVE her fun spirit, Martha Stewart though I could never measure up to her, Emerils tv show. Marion Grasbys tips and tricks, all baking shows and contest. Bobby Flay. Too many to mention how can you just name one? It's impossible!
What would you do with the $25,000?We adopted 5 boys just trying to make a difference in this world. My husband is very ill. I have lost my entire family. Both parents all 6 of my brothers and sisters, a son, a husband and a grandson, and this would enable us to take these boys on a vacation that would be the first one that we could afford. Then I would get a new car. Well, a good used one and maybe no positively do some work on the house that has been needed for a long time.
