I Am Proud To Be A Southerner.

I Have A Lot Of Secret Uses For Sour Cream, Which Is The Magic Ingredient In My Mac And Cheese. It's An Old-timey, Southern Version, And The Sour Cream Makes It That Much Creamier. Oh, It's So Good!

The Thought Of Eating Rabbit And Squirrels Doesn't Appeal To Me. And That Was On Our Table Quite Often As A Kid. In Your Uppity Restaurants, They Serve A Lot Of Rabbit. But I Just Can't Help But Think Of Peter. And Deer, I Can't Go There, Because Of Bambi.

A Balanced Diet Is A Cookie In Both Hands.

I Know When You Think About The South, You Think About Fried Foods, But We Eat A Tremendous Amount Of Vegetables. I Have My Own Garden, So Vegetables Have Always Been A Big Part Of My Life. I Love Broccoli. I Love Fresh Beets. It's Not All About The Fried Chicken And The Biscuits.

I Really Didn't Have An Interest In Being In The Kitchen Until After I Was Married, When I Was 18. It Didn't Take Me Long To Realize That Mama Was Not Going To Show Up At My House Every Day And Cook.
