talking tacky talking-about-money
Talking about money is garish. It's tacky.
long cooking grit
Stone-ground grits are wonderful, but because they take so long to cook, I usually go with quick cooking grits - which I also love. But I never make the instant kind - some things a Southerner just won't do!
cost tongue choke
I'll keep peace at all cost, even if I choke to death on my tongue.
spiritual religious beach
I'm more spiritual than I am religious. I don't go to church; I go to the beach.
dream deen proof
I am proof that the American dream still exists.
dream alive deen
I am living proof that the American dream still exists. It is still alive and well. There is only one trick, you have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and work very, very hard.
proud southerner
I am proud to be a Southerner.
way kind seasoning
Southerners have never been afraid of seasoning. It's kind of the other way around; our seasoning is afraid of us.
pie yummy people
On my show I share all these yummy, fattening recipes, but I tell people, in moderation, in moderation. You can have that little piece of pie.
two care littles
I'm making little changes in my life to take care of myself, like putting in a mile or two on my treadmill every day.
funny hater laughing
I don't care what the haters and naysayers say. If they make jokes about me, I'll laugh because they'll probably be funny.
funny-love real eye
Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.
people feelings done
When it's said and done, the one thing I want to leave on this earth is hope. I have felt hopelessness, and it's a terrible feeling. Hopelessness will destroy you. I want to bring hope to other people.
dream ifs
If you have a dream, FOLLOW IT.
