My mom called me Colby Deen this weekend!

I've been watching Paula Deen to appear to be fabulous at family gatherings. Now, don't think I'm doing this cooking business day-to-day, but my kitchen was hot last week. My pies were a hit at Thanksgiving due to Paula Deen. I went to her website, www.pauladeen.com, and found these great, easy recipes that made the great cooks in my family appreciate my baking abilities!

Here's the recipes I whipped up for Thanksgiving...I recommend:

Pumpkin Pie

Cherry Cream Cheese Pie

Apple Pie

Peanut Butter Brownie Cupcakes

I hope you are the star at your party, too! Add a stick of butter, baby and it can't help but be good y'all! I'm channeling Miss Paula...

Thanksgiving was good, too! We spent it with my family in Amarillo. Relaxing, lots of food, a little shopping, we put up our first Christmas tree, and went to the Baylor game.

Much love,
