Southern Tea Cakes #SundaySupper

Who's your favorite celebrity chef?  Everyone has one right??  Or if you're like me you have many & found it almost near impossible to pick a recipe for this week's #SundaySupper...

I mean, seriously, how do I pick one??

  

There's Rachael Ray with her 30 minute meals.  Y'all know how much I love a quick dinner!  But then there's Sandra Lee & her semi-homemade goodness.  And don't forget Bobby with the magic he makes on a grill.  And we definitely can't forget Jamie Oliver who seriously has the best name in the world.  Ever.  Plus he's a pretty good chef too.  ;)

Do you see now why this was such a hard decision for me??

The more I thought about it though, I knew there was only one chef I could really go with as my favorite.  I actually got to see her live a few years back & it was absolutely amazing!  She is exactly the same live as she is on her show!  She's from my original neck of the woods, she's got two very handsome sons & she loves butter.  She's my kinda gal.

So here's to you Paula Deen.  You're always welcome to join me on the front porch for a glass of good sweet tea.  Bobby's welcome too...

;)
