You know, nobody can ever cook as good as your mama.

You can have diabetes and have a piece of cake. You cannot have diabetes and eat a whole cake.

Cooking has always brought me a happiness that I didn't think was available. I just fire up the stove, and things start to fade away.

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

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.

I don't want to spend my life not having good food going into my pie hole. That hole was made for pies.

Don't ever give up. You can't let discouragement get you down. You can always find negative people that will try to discourage you from your goals. You can't be discouraged, and you can't let the word "no" stop you.
