smell cooking kitchen
Onions and bacon cooking up just makes your kitchen smell so good. In fact, one day I'm going to come up with a room deodorizer that smells like bacon and onions. It's a fabulous smell.
redneck people black
It’s just what they are — they’re jokes…most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks…I can’t determine what offends another person.
positive way determined
I was determined to share my positive approach and not let diabetes stand in the way of enjoying my life.
life-is-too-short waffles wonder
Life is too short to wonder where you hid your waffle maker.
everyday dirt sides
Everyday you wake up on the right side of the dirt is a good one.
mama cooks knows
You know, nobody can ever cook as good as your mama.
running long people
I pay people very, very well - probably more than I have to. But that costs me less money in the long run because I'm not having to constantly train somebody. I pay them enough that they don't go seeking a higher scale at the next restaurant.
brother keepers
We are our brothers keeper. Its going to be up to all of us.
wine kids worry
You know, not everybody can afford to pay $58 for prime rib or $650 for a bottle of wine. My friends and I cook for regular families who worry about feeding their kids and paying the bills.
mess cooks knows
I know I can cook, but the place where I cook... it's a mess! I'm very disorganized.
morning blessed night
I am so blessed. I've been way over-blessed. At 64 years old, I look forward to going to bed every night so I can wake up in the morning and see what blessing is going to come my way that day. Because you never, ever know what God's got in store for you.
dream new-year years
In my house, the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl Game have always been a grand tradition for ringing in the New Year. To serve as Grand Marshal is a dream come true and I look forward to sharing the celebration with all of the fans and viewers worldwide.
want chickens lettuce
You don't want to make a steady diet of just lettuce. You don't want to make a steady diet of fried chicken.

Would I have fired me? Knowing me? No.
