I love watching the joy on someone's face as they take that 1st bite of a dish I've created. My cooking style is good O' southern comfort food, but I cook anything and everything. Over the past 10 years I've won quite a few recipe and video cooking contest. I've been to the Gilroy Garlic Festival as a contestant 2 times, winning 3rd place in 2015. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 28 years. We have a daughter, Merranda she's also my best friend and my sous chef. I'm a Nuna to Zoey the sweetest, most precious 20 month old ever. I'm the recipient of 2 kidney transplants. The first was from my sister and the second was from my brother through the Paired Kidney Transplant Exchange. I enjoy cooking and creating new recipes It warms my heart to see people enjoy food I have prepared, and if I can make them laugh and enjoy themselves my day was a success!
