I wake up every morning happy for where I am in life. Its not all about the cooking, but the fact that I can contribute by using my influence to help people all over the country. In the last two years, my partners and I have fed more than 10 million hungry people by bringing meat to food banks. – Paula Deen

I will never use a substitute for butter. Margarine is one molecule away from eating plastic. If Im going to eat that type of food, its going to be the real deal. – Paula Deen
