Meet Paula Deen
Culinary icon Paula Deen is a self-
made entrepreneur who learned
her savory secrets from her
grandmother. She started her
career in the food industry with a
small catering company called The
Bag Lady, but business quickly
outgrew her home kitchen. Taking
a leap of faith, she opened her first
restaurant, The Lady and Sons,
which has since become a tourist
hot spot in Savannah, GA. With
her huge personality, delectable
recipes and heart of gold, Paula
next found herself in talks with TV
execs after a friend introduced her
to some influential people in the
business. The rest, as they say, is
history.
In addition to her television
success, Paula has sold more
than 11,000,000 copies of her 14
cookbooks and launched the
Paula Deen Network, an
interactive digital portal that
combines cooking, lifestyle and
game shows with great recipes,
meal-planning tools and more.

Catulatis!
There is nothin’ like fresh baked bread. It has a way of elevating the simplest sandwich
to something more thoughtful and more delicious. In my house, we make fresh bread
just about every day and use it for French toast, sandwiches, croutons, and soakin’ up
our extra sauces and gravies.
Because I love fresh bread, I’m thrilled to offer my very own Paula Deen Bread Maker. I
love it because it comes with 16 preset settings. including settings to make your basic
bread, French bread, gluten-free bread, and even cake! If you just need it to knead your
dough, it can do that, too. I’m tellin’ y’all the options are nearly endless!
If you’re like me and follow a tight schedule, you’ll love that it has a delayed timer in
case you don’t want to start bakin’ right away. Maybe you want that fresh-out-the-oven
bread come dinnertime. It can start while you’re at work. Another fantastic feature?
Well, this bread maker lets you make three different loaf sizes. This is great for empty
nesters, like Michael and me, who never seem to have an empty nest. Whether we’re
eatin’ just the two of us or the whole family is comin’ over, we’ve got options.
I think the very best thing about my bread maker and what sets it apart from so many
others is how completely customizable it is. I already mentioned the loaf size, but you
can also adjust the color of the bread if you like it a little darker or a little lighter and
create your own settings for your personal recipes. Good gravy, you can even make
homemade jam, yogurt, and pasta dough in this do-it-all bread maker!
My new bread maker has really lifted mealtime to something extra special. I just have to
thank you for your purchase, and I know it will do the same for you. I know y’all will
absolutely love this product and the fresh bread and goodies it makes. Happy bakin’!
Love and best dishes,
