What happened?!

I have so much more to share about the Savannah trip, next week I'll do some posts in our Family Fun section.
Want to know what happened at Paula Deen's Real Women of Philadelphia Cookoff?...
Well, we got to visit our house and of course took a zillion photos in her kitchen...

Here's a video still shot of me and Paula at the cookoff...

Telling Paula about my pastry...

Showing my dish at the live event...Paula told the whole audience and everyone watching online that she was going to make my dish for her niece's wedding this summer. Wow!!! The judges talk about the cookoff...Laurie from Recipe Girl, Robin Ross from Kraft, and Aunt Peggy, the matriarch of the Deen family... Waiting for the results... I won!!! $25,000 for a 6 month talent contract! YOWZA! I'm still reeling! Had a great night celebrating with family and friends! But don't worry, I'm back home and we're already cookin' up more fun things to share with you. Huge thanks to all of you for your support and good wishes!


Yesterday I was cookin' with Paula and won $25,000...
Today I set off the smoke alarm twice while making bacon for breakfast. I guess that's just how busy mamas roll...:)
