Well y’all, the moment has finally arrived! “Home for Dinner with Jamie Deen” is here!
A lot of blood, sweat, and tears – okay, so maybe only the sweat part – has gone into the making of my brand new show, and I can’t wait for you to see it.
When I was thinking of a concept for my new show, it took me a minute to think of something that I really loved. I knew that I loved the idea of cooking locally and seasonally, with fresh ingredients, but I wasn’t sure what the right angle was. Then I thought about my family, and other working families. It’s tough, if you’re a family always on-the-go, to provide well-balanced meals for your loved ones.
So I thought that’s the way to go – and I’m so passionate about it; so is my family. Brooke, Jack, and I love preparing meals together, and I know it won’t be too long before our newest addition, Matthew, joins in the tradition as well.
I had such a blast filming these new shows for y’all, that I wanted to take you on a behind-the-scenes look at the process. All of the photos are courtesy of our dear friend Christine Hall.

Mic check - one two, one two!

And here we go – Home for Dinner – take one…or a million. I forget!

Here’s my little Sous Chef, Jack Deen, helpin’ Daddy out with dinner.

Gosh, I am one lucky man. I’ve got such a gorgeous family.

Even my producer, Gordon, and the rest of the production crew got caught babysitting a time or two.

Doesn’t that look good, y’all?

Mama came by, too, to help out. But secretly, I think she just wanted to spend time with her grandbabies!

That’s a wrap, y’all!
Do good things,
Jamie

Have you created a lighter version of your moms Sweet Potato Bake? I love it but I would like a lighter version, less sweet too.

My husband and I really enjoyed the Five Layer Taco Dip. I love mexican food.They said on HGTV that your wife, Brooke,can eat mexican food 8 days a week. I agree. I made chili on the same day that I made your dip and my husband wanted a scoop of chili on the side. Chili was suppose to be for the next night. Ha!Ha !By itself,the dip was awesome, but we accidently added a scoop of chili....Great Dinner!! Thanks for the recipe. I collect recipes and can not possibly make them all. I am a pharmacist and my husband contributes my excellant cooking to my chemical skills of mixing ingredients. Perhaps you you might introdue me to in the show. If for nothing else, my recipe filing system. Thank you for your fresh outlook. Steve's, my husband,sister lives in Savannah.

LOVE your show Jamie and the way you personalize it by including your family. So often today, we tend to rush through our meals (ex. fast food) and I appreciate your focus on family, taking the time to prepare something special for them...and then sitting down to enjoy the food and company together. The food you prepare is delicious (I have tried some of your recipes) and enjoy watching each episode. Iʻm missing it on the Food Network right now so I hope you are only on hiatus for a short time and preparing more episodes for the near future
I have been a fan of your moms for years now...she has done a great job with her family...and so are you! Mahalo...

I just saw one of your shows, where you are cooking ribs and making twice baked potatoes plus a dessert which I forgot what it was.I have always watched your moms show and have fixed many of her recipes. I have a complaint about your show. Today< your brother Bobby was on the show and you were both drinking beer while on the air. This is not proper to do. You have a gorgeous family. Why does everyone have to drink alcohol on those cooking shows Alcohol is very addictive and has no place on TV shows. If you want to drink do it at a bar or at home. but remember you have a beautiful wife and two lovely children. they should not be exposed to alcohol. What about a cold glass of Ice tea or lemonade. You don't have to have booze to prove your point. I am really sad, that you chose to drink beer on your show.. Cut it out, it does not do a thing for the show. Just keep on cooking good food and have a glass of ice tea. See how much better you will feel. I don't expect to get an answer from you, but I also don't have to watch your show either.

I love the entire Deen family BUT....I find it too hard to watch this (Jamie's) show. The "set" is SO cramped and tiny, I get tense just waiting for something to fall off the counter. Surely this cannot be his REAL kitchen....surely they can afford a better place than this!
By Mary on September 02, 2012
love the show. the recipes are fantastic.. also enjoyed meeting the whole family at the aug 7th book signing!!!... it was well worth the wait, and I love the new cookbook...keep up the great work!!!! keith ward

I enjoy this show and enjoy watching what he makes. I seriously had a good laugh over the "Jack's Favorite things". I try so hard to get my children to eat healthy and to actually eat vegetables and fruits. So when he said, ""You can have your kids eat something over the top healthy that they will love and beg for." Ha ha....he needs to come here and cook! It's not as easy at what he says! I'd love to challenge him to get my kids to eat something that's good for them!

I felt compelled to say that I am a big fan of Jamie's new show! Love the warmth and charm of this young man on camera. He seems like a wonderful husband and father, and that comes across in each episode. Of course I enjoy his cooking expertise and recipes, simple and delicious! Bobby is full of charisma also... Good job, Mama Paula! My favorite shows are the ones where you are all on the show together. I DVR all of your family's shows. Much continued success to all of you, and if you're ever in Texas, y'all come visit!

Is your show filmed on a set or is it the house u actually live in?
By Peanut on August 08, 2012
I wholeheartedly agree with all the positive comments- Jamie, your show is a winner and a breath of fresh air for this busy momma! I saw it this morning for the second time (we don't have cable :-() and I googled "how to leave a comment on jamie deen's new show" because I felt so strongly that the execs at FN need to know what a great show this is!:-). Love the recipes, the look of the kitchen, seeing you interact with your family, and in today's episode, you said at the end, " the food tastes better with y'all here". That's the kind of show I want to support!!

Love the new show! : )

I absolutely LOVE Jamie's new show! He is a "natural" at what he is doing, just like his Momma. Jamie makes his show interesting and everyone I talk to that watches his show, says they agree with me that, Jamie showing pictures and telling stories, makes us feel he is welcoming us into being a small part of his family and that makes a big difference in how well a show does--just like Paula's cooking show, she makes you feel welcome and like you are right there with her!
By Jamie on August 03, 2012
I find myself smiling during your entire show! I enjoy how you share your beautiful family along with you recipes. It doesn't hurt to get a few clues to where you go to buy produce and such.
.
Good luck because you have a winner.

I truly think that Home for Dinner is one of the best shows on Food Network now. I love everything about it...the concept, the food, getting to see Jamie and his beautiful family and home. It's a winner for sure, and I hope it becomes a regular fixture in the Food Network lineup. It's refreshing to have someone actually cooking again...it seems now all they have are food competitions!!!

I love the show, anything with the Deens is my favorite. I hope to one day get to meet them all because they are my favorite people on TV. I just love Paula she is so down to earth and just perfert. I hope they have more shows. Misty

Jamie, I think your new show is great. I record it on my DVR and watch it at my leisure, so I can take notes. When will you be coming out with a recipe book with all of you recipes from your show. You seem like a great family man.

Use baking soda and peroxide made into a paste to get all the grunge off o f your casserole dishes and pots and pans.

To Ronald Bryant: Try Paula's apple cake recipe "Grandgirl's Fresh Apple Cake From Georgia." It is sooooo good. I think you'll like it!
