Receive Text UpdatesI have many.........I make my own spaghetti sauce, warm German Potato Salad, Chicken parmesan, meatloaf, etc.... Too many to list. I have been cooking since I was tall enough to reach the stove.
Who is your culinary inspiration?My mom. Most of what I have learned I learned from her. I lost her at a young age, just 47 years old. I took what she was able to teach me in the short time I had her and built upon my skills growing up and navigating life without her. That is why I say I am self-taught. Great comforting homestyle meals.
What would you do with the $25,000?I have many plans. I would love to take my family on a vacation and help my daughters with money toward their student loans. I wasn't able to go to college because of all the responsibilities that I had to absorb, and they were the first generation to go in my family and I couldn't be prouder of them both.
