Miss your show while I worked as an infusion nurse at the hospital. My patients enjoyed it with me and we printed your recipes as well. We need some low fat meals.
I am a non-tweeter….so glad you are back Paula!~~!!!
Would love to enter but do not do twitter , maybe next time it will be just our email or on facebook.
Happy to see your back
Sorry, if my friends want to sign up they will. They have a keyboard of their very own
I have watched your show with all three of my children and we have made many of you dishes together. I am so glad you are returning to television because I am now a Grandmother and can share your show and recipes with my beautiful Granddaughter. I wish you the best and look forward to more of your fun and wonderful stories you share.

I really love Paula Deen and have supported her throughout her career with a hospice organization. I have worked in and around Savannah and have had the opportunity to visit Lady and Son’s and Uncle Bubba’s. I like many others, do not have a twitter account but would love to enter the contest. This TX Lady would love to win!
I would love to enter for a chance to win but I don’t twitter either.

Neither I nor any of the people I know Twitter, so I think it is unfair to give those that do more chances. But I love Paula and miss her on TV. Cant afford to subscribe to her show so I really do miss her.
I’m sad. :(. I love Paula & her family but I can’t enter the contest. I’ve been a fan since day 1 and support her wholeheartedly. Could you let us enter from Facebook?
Paula, I just can’t WAIT for your new network!!! I am buying a tablet just so I can watch your new network in my kitchen 🙂 I shared the information about the contest to my Facebook page, too. I can’t wait to participate in your new cooking classes, y’all! LOVE YOU!
I love Paula. I am always using her recipes and love watching her. My wife and I are so excited about the Paula Deen Network!
Got a Paula a Deen Pound Cake in the oven now. I am a try fan! Best of luck on your new Network.
I will never forget the first time I watched Paula’s show it literally changed my life. I got off the couch and started cooking and not only my husband but all my friends and family love to spend time in my kitchen. Thanks Paula for inspiring me not only to cook but to live a happier life
I love Paula Deen. I have purchased all her cookbooks. I have missed her on tv. Have not watched the food network since they booted her. Her gifted talents were a certain threat to someone, no doubt. Thanks to Phyllis Hoffman for her wonderful support of Paula. I love the magazines that Phyllis supports.
Likewise I don’t have Twitter or Facebook.I do enjoy Paula’s dishes and watching her.So glad someone has invested in her by giving her her own show.
I have missed Paula being on television.She was always a kick.Every recipe that I have ever made of hers always comes out good.I wish she was still on but I’m looking forward to her new program.
Always enjoyed Paula’s shows and have missed her upbeat, positive personality. I also only have email, no twitter or facebook.
Can’t wait
I don’t tweet or twitter or watch TV; however I love magazines so woul truly enjoy being a winner.
Cannot enter contest as don’t tweet =(?
SO EXCITED ABOUT YOUR NEW SHOW. YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITES AND WHEN YOU LEFT I FELT I HAD LOST A GOOD FRIEND. I DO NOT TWITTER.

I am so excited about the Paula Deen Network, I have missed you! I stand behind you and will support you all the way. Had the pleasure of meeting you in Hampton Va with the Junior League and the Food bank. Great work and hope to see you soon
Can’t wait for your network to start!
Always had faith in you. Really enjoy watching you.

Love ya, Paula Deen!
I couldn’t be more excited about this new venture. I am a PD fan through and through. I don’t “do” FB or Tweet but since they are not fried, baked, roasted or grilled I’m not missing anything that’s real! Love you Paula & family. May your blessings continue to bless us!
Hope all goes well for you. You are a great lady!
Best of luck with your new endeavors!
I don’t do social media either but I do wish Paula all the best…she rocks!
Sure have missed you, Paula, and so looking forward to being a part of your new network! You are a true inspriration to so many, both women and men alike. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family in all that you do.
i do not know how to put url in the tweeter part
I’m so glad that Paula is rising again, as some Southerners have been reported as saying in the Past. Nowadays, we can’t be honest about what may have been said many, many years ago. I’m sure everyone has said or done something years ago that he wouldn’t say or do now, particularly in public. I wish her all the best and I’d love to receive her subscription!
Would love to win but not going to subscribe to Twitter, etc. Sorry…not my game.
god bless you and ypur famoly
I do not twitter, nor do I regularly do facebook…but I do do Paula…glad you are coming back. I do cook, even in my independent living apartment. Would love to win a year of great info from Paula
When will your online network start, Paula?
It is so great to have Paula back! I Love your magazine and I know I will enjoy your new network!
Oh how I loved watching Paula Dean and I miss her soooooo much. I can’t wait to see her new show.. Gayle Bonham
Can’t wait for the first show! You have been missed!
I’ve subscribed to your magazine before and loved the recipes and articles. I miss you on Food Network that was their loss. Would love to have a subscription!!! No twittering here either….:-(
P. Oliver
Thanks Paula for showing us how warm and loving you are. You are the best.
I want to sign up for Paula’s new online programming so badly but,,, I don’t have an account with ANY of the social medias. I’m afraid that if I sign up for it I won’t be able to pull it up and watch. Please give me an answere before it’s too late for me to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity
I don’t tweet sorry, but i would love to win Paula’s subscriptions. I just love her and her wonderful recipes.
Love Paula. Broke my heart when she stopped being on Foodneteork. Have not watched them since. Waiting for her new show.
Pau

I am really looking forward to your new online network shows. Whenever I watch you, I feel like I am spending time with family.
I don’t tweet..I do Facebook and email.. 🙁 I would love to win a subscription!
The come back girl……I love her! Would love to be in that kitchen audience with her, even washing dishes!!
Best of Luck in all your New Adventures I will be watching you Rise to the Top !!!!!!!
So glad to see Paula “bouncing” back. She is so much fun to watch and she makes all her recipes look so easy. Have loved her magazine for years. Looking forward to her new adventure and by the way I’m so glad to have joined this wonderful group. Phyllis your magazines are the best.
I enjoy Paula and everything about her!

Love you Paula, miss your cooking programs, would love to take a cruise with you, maybe next time,
I love Paula Deen! I would like to enter to win, but I do not twitter or tweet so how can I?
Paula Deen is always a’Breath of fresh air’ and makes me feel good
love her + Hurrah, Paula xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
How could Paula NOT have cried during this lovely conversation with you, Phyllis! I nearly did at all she had to share. I thought it was just so touching. You are so warm yourself and certainly bring out the best in Paula. I love listening to you both. Paula makes me laugh and she is always so much FUN and down to earth! I LOVE that colour blue in her top – I’d like to see that in a paint colour on my wall! Lol I look forward to more of Hoffman Media’s magazines and to more of Paula Dean. Thank you for this! As always, very inspiring…
Thank you for sharing this inspiring interview, Phyllis. Love Paula Dean’s sweet welcoming spirit!
So looking forward to the way Paula and family will continue to enrich our lives with humor, food and information!
wish I could enter but I do not twitter.
