Hey there, y''all! My favorite recipes came direct from my momma and grandmommas. I just love goin'' through all the recipe cards they passed on to me and readin'' their handwritten notes; it makes me remember our good times in the kitchen, gathered round the table. Sometimes, though, I need a little remindin'' when it comes to writin'' down my own recipes and recollections, so I''ve put together this darlin'' little journal to get me (and you) started recordin''. I know I never forget a meal, but I also know that Jamie and Bobby aren''t always listenin'' to what I''m tellin'' ''em. So for you and the boys, I''ve included some tried-and-true recipes and some of my hard-learned tricks for gettin'' out of culinary scrapes -- and Lord, honey, have there been a few. Whether it is a real disaster -- the boss and his wife are comin'' over and the kitchen is full of smoke (no shame in servin'' some takeout) -- or just an everyday bump in the road -- your husband didn''t hear the buzzer, and the cake got a little dry in the oven (let some sugar water soak into those layers, and no one will know the difference) -- I''ve got your answer. Just get cookin'' and let loose: nothin'' makes memories like the smell of home-cooked meals. Jot down your ingredients and your musings, cut out a recipe card or two to share with friends, keep track of who came to dinner, who liked what, and who laughed the loudest; remember the good times and learn from the bad. Like I always say, there''s not much in life you can''t learn in the kitchen. Paula Deen
