Congratulations to commentor #22, Cathy, for winning The Slim Down South Cookbook! Cathy is an e-mail subscriber and grits are one of her favorite Southern foods! Thanks for subscribing, Cathy, and I will be contacting you soon to get your mailing info and give that to the publisher–they’ll send your cookbook directly to you!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway! I appreciate your sweet comments and it was fun to hear what all your favorite Southern dishes were–like Southern Fried Chicken, Sweet Potato Casserole, Sweet Iced Tea, Easy Apple Skillet Pie, Chicken Fried Steak, Carrot Cake, Fried Catfish, Pickled Green Tomato Relish, Pulled Pork BBQ, Pork Chops with Apple Cornbread Stuffing, Grits and Cheesy Grits, Gumbo, Pralines, Shrimp and Grits with a Spicy Remoulade Sauce, Pecan Pie…all these and the others you mentioned sound so good! I’ll add another–Fried Green Tomatoes! I’ve only had them a few times since I don’t eat a lot of fried food, but they sure are good!

I should have another giveaway in the next month or two, so keep posted! Have a great Friday and enjoy your weekend!
