What is your signature dish?

Mastering southern biscuits has been my mission for most of my life. My cookies are legendary (just ask my science class) but so is my steak (pretty sure that's how I got my husband).

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My Papa (grandpa) and my husband. Papa started my love for southern biscuits. I still can't seem to make them like he did but I will never give up. My husband's dietary needs from an incredibly rare condition have greatly expanded my creativity. Where I once stuck to recipes now I am able to use them as guidelines and adapt to his needs. While also gaining the confidence to play with flavors.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Expand my kitchen and storage space. My goals include loving on my community and supporting others with similar dietary needs. Everyone deserves a good meal or treat. I love my little gingerbread house but my kitchen is not the best for cooking together and feeding the community.
