I LOVE the Food Network, and my favorite chef from there is Paula Deen. My dad comes from Alabama and I have been going there since I was a little girl to visit my grandma. She is still alive at age 95, but unfortunately had a bad fall recently and now lives with my uncle in Florida. So anyway, now I'm not sure when I'll get back but.....................I love the South, the friendly people, the cooking, and mostly my grandma and relatives there. And I have to tell you that Paula TOTALLY reminds me of my grandma's sister Betty. My aunt Betty looks like Paula Deen and talks just like her!! So I love watching Paula, and of course making her recipes. Here is one of my favorites from her that I make at Christmastime!! Enjoy, these are SO delicious!!
