Oh she is the queen of something. Not sure what. So now I have ticked everybody off. But this is how I feel. Started out good but way to commerical & out for the buck.

Ah Debra, you're entitled to your opinion, whether it coincides with anyone else's or not!

Who ISN'T out for a buck these days? Paula Deen started with nothing, and built an empire... at least she's worked for it instead of waiting for handouts. She gets my respect for that, and for her personality...can't help it, I LOVE that laugh! ;) :)

Can you please post the recipe for eggless filling using cream cheese? Thanks.

I watched a lot of Food Network shows....for a while. Then,one by one they dropped by the wayside.Maybe too many ingredients wasted on inedible recipes.
I like some things about Paula's show,but just to watch, not for recipes.I cut way back on using fat/sugar, yrs ago...so not many cooking shows left for me.I like Ina Garten & a couple others.Looks to me like all pro chefs use a whole lot of fat.....that's where the flavor is.I love the ones who say "add a tbl of oil to the pan, while giving directions & the oil is going glub glub out of the bottle.:)

Everything she makes is delish!

Don't know why anyone should be ticked off at you, your entitled to your opinion. I don't like some of the other chefs on the channel but that is my opinon.
Even if does pull out the sweet southern lady thing, she still is fun to watch. I enjoy watching her shows, she always manages to make me giggle. I rarely cook anything she makes because I am trying to cut many of the ingredients down in my diet that she uses before I end up with severe health issues.

A Paula Dean restaurant just opened
in the Cherokee Casino in Cherokee, NC.

Haven't been yet but plan to.

Haven't made that one, but I am a big Paula and Family fan. I always love to hear about someone "make it big" after having nothing but their talent to get them started,.

How funny - Reba was the only woman Hubby said he would leave me for. I told him that was OK, Johnny Cash was my man.

My favorite is her peach cobbler. it is the best I have ever tasted.
