I know she gets a bad rap for her high fat and high sugar recipes but I just love her. She has a great story to tell as well. Food is meant to be enjoyed, and it's hard not to enjoy her food. Everything in moderation and we'll all be fine. Don't be afraid of the butter!
We'll post her recipes on Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Can't wait to see what other Paula recipes I can find that are fabulous!
If you ever have the opportunity to host a foriegn student, do it. It will never be the "right time" so jump right in when the opportunity presents itself. What a blessing it will be :)
AGGGGHHHH. It's Paula Deen week and I passed up all of the down home, Southern comfort, sweet and salty, yummy food for Marinated Tomatoes. Don't get me wrong, they were good. But I have numerous others that I will be trying at a later time. I'm still trying to use up items I have on-hand.

Pat and Gina Neely are the hosts of Food Network's Down Home with the Neely's. They make great southern food! I choose the Black-Eyed Pea Salad because I am trying to clean out my pantry and had a bag of black eyed peas I was supposed to cook for New Year's. So instead of canned beans, I soaked the dried beans over night and cooked them in the crock pot for a few hours until they were almost tender. I froze half of them for another occasion.
