As most of y’all know by now, I will be on Season 21 of Dancing with the Stars with the talented Louis Van Amstel by my side. And since my friends are such an important part of my life, I wanted to share my journey with you all! Enjoy this sneak peek behind the scenes of filming and rehearsals!

Love & best dishes,

1. Louis & I just wrapped one of our first rehearsals with our wonderful film crew: Alex & Cody.

2. Producer, Alex, was asking me about the day’s practice. You should see the  interview on DWTS

3. Louis & I cooked up a Dutch Pancake with Applesauce from my new cookbook, Paula Deen Cuts the Fat.

4. I brought the camera crew along when I visited my restaurant in Savannah, GA, The Lady & Sons. I was so happy to spend some time with all my friends!

Paula Deen - As a young girl growing up in Albany, Georgia, Paula Deen never dreamed she would become an American icon. As a young mother, Paula was living the American dream — married to her high school sweetheart and raising two adorable boys — when tragedy struck. Her parents died, her marriage failed and she began a prolonged battle with agoraphobia. With her boys in their teens and her family near homelessness, Paula took her last $200, reached deep inside her soul and started The Bag Lady, a home-based catering company that marked the start of Deen's professional cooking career. With sons Jamie and Bobby delivering lunch-and-love-in-a-bag, beginning in June 1989, Paula turned her life around by sharing what she knew best, traditional Southern cooking.
