Excerpt from Cooking with Paula Deen Magazine

With busy schedules and back-to-school activities, it’s oftentimes hard to get the whole family around the table at the same time. Set aside one night each week for Family Night. Gather everyone, and cook, eat, and share. After dinner, play games, watch a movie, or go out for ice cream. My family likes to come over to my house on Sundays for a big meal. We hang out in the kitchen together, eat a delicious meal, and then move to the porch for lots of laughter and good stories. Sundays keep us connected, and remind us of the importance of family time.
