"burritos. I lived in Europe for a couple of years and the thing I missed most was a tortilla filled with beans. So I learned to make my own! And I'm still making those burritos on a regular basis, swapping out new ingredients I want to try to incorporate the flavors of different cuisines that inspire me. I love to cook and try new types of foods, but I will always come back to my favorite, the burrito." - Monique

"Apart from my family (pets included!), I'd say music. For me, music is my go-to for whenever I need a spark of motivation or shift in mood. It is also something that Bob and I enjoy together. Though we don't always have the same taste in music, we love showing each other new bands and singing along to songs as we power through some housework or while we cook together." - Sam
