Outside of looking for help, the lady loves spending time in the kitchen and with her loved ones. There are tons of clips of different meals she has prepared on her profile. Bridget once made a dish that included some pap, what appears to be spinach, and some cooked meat. Another clip she posted shows some stir-fried vegetables with a hearty serving of pap.
