You dont want to make a steady diet of just lettuce. You dont want to make a steady diet of fried chicken. – Paula Deen

I am so blessed. Ive 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 Gods got in store for you. – Paula Deen
When its said and done, the one thing I want to leave on this earth is hope. I have felt hopelessness, and its a terrible feeling. Hopelessness will destroy you. I want to bring hope to other people. – Paula Deen
Ive never followed a vegan or vegetarian diet in the past, but I think I could do it. It would not be easy. I have worked with nutritionists who have said a vegan diet is not necessarily all positive for your health, because you need nutrients you only find in meats. I believe in a balanced diet. – Joel Robuchon
