Change doesn’t happen overnight. It starts with the desire, then one small step in the right direction.

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.

I am proud to be a Southerner.

Southerners have never been afraid of seasoning. It's kind of the other way around; our seasoning is afraid of us.

Love is like smiling, it never fades and is contagious.

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!

Chicken breast is the driest, [most] tasteless part of the chicken as far as I'm concerned.
