Hey y’all! Aunt Peggy and I are making dishes for our Holiday dinner every week in December, and this week we made the main course, a delicious Beef Tenderloin. I got such raves for it last year that I had no choice but to make it again. Not that I mind, this is a beautiful piece of meat. Earlier this week I promised to reveal the secret ingredient that will make your Beef Tenderloin explode with flavor! Here it is: bacon grease. I congeal bacon fat and rub it all over the Tenderloin. Just a little bit to add some flavor and fat to the meat. It tastes so good! Whatever main dish you are cookin’, be sure to watch that oven so you don’t burn the dish. Overcooking meat and poultry is a very easy thing to do, and no one likes a dried out dish. If you need any recipe help, go on in to the Paula Deen Forums on GetCookin.PaulaDeen.com, there are loads of nice people that will help you get through the meal! Love and Best Dishes, Paula

Hey y’all! I needed a seafood man for Shrimp Week, so I called in my brother Bubba, the best seafood man I know! Bubba owns the wonderful Uncle Bubba’s Oyster House restaurant which has been in business for five years now, so he knows his way around a shrimp! He also has a great cookbook called Uncle Bubba’s Savannah Seafood Cookbook, which has more than 100 down home, Southern-style recipes. I’m so proud of my brother! Just like we used to day when we were kids, we pickled some shrimp together. We used beautiful new glass jars to hold the dish, and the shrimp came out looking beautiful and tasty. My son Bobby has a wonderful pickled shrimp recipe that we included below. Bubba and I put our own spin on our pickled shrimp dishes. I always suggest that when you cook something for the first time you follow the recipe but after that have fun with it and give the dish your own signature. Bubba took his home with him, so he could enjoy it all by himself! Love and Best Dishes, Paula
