Week 1: Paula Deen! Dish #1: Tuna Burgers, Tribute To Cooks Who Inspired Me.

[@vickylynn5536]

I love Paula Deen, She is an amazing country cook. I live 165 miles away from "The Bag Lady and her 2 sons" I don't care about what has been said about her she's a wonderful woman and if anyone has ever met her they would see how kind and generous she is....

[@patriciakoester1580]

Absolutely!!!!!!

[@LawandaFinch]

I absolutely agree. I don’t believe any of that garbage. I love her.

[@tammyrexroad8020]

She was the first cooking show I watched all the time. I bought her books as well. She’s a doll💕

[@rachellerokala2659]

Let’s remember what most of us were taught in kindergarten and first grade: if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.

[@brenda121143]

Love Paula Deen. Always have always will. She didn't say anything that was not part of normal speech in the south. No matter how abhorrent things may appear today things were different in the past

[@ampa4989]

She says it was after a robbery when she wasn't "feeling very charitable." It was a moment when people say things out of frustration and regret it when they calm down.

[@bridgetgreene2457]

I have loved Paula Deen from her start as The Bag Lady ! She is a hoot and an amazing cook, great at teaching you how to cook , and a very caring lady !! I have saw her several times and met her and almost all of her family !!! They all are very special people ! I’m glad she also inspired you ! Great buys at the beach !!

[@tammyrexroad8020]

Me too 💕

[@peggetennant]

I’ve never done tuna burgers, just salmon cakes. That looks so good. Miss Lori on Whipporwill Holler just said the rabbits ate her green beans in her garden. Not many people are harvesting beans this year.

[@nohea_robertson]

I LOVE Paula Deen! My husband is from MO and one of his favorite things to eat is biscuits and sausage gravy. I've never heard of it before and wanted to make it. I used premade biscuits, which I burnt and the gravy was so lumpy. My loving husband ate it and I cried. I found Paula on the cooking show and learned how to make everything from scratch! I was so excited when my next attempt at it turned out perfect! Loved your outfits and I love your earrings. I always look to see which ones you've got on. 😊

[@revabrown2288]

Those tuna burgers look amazing.Paula Deen is one my favorite cooks as wel. Started watching her many years ago, and have numerous of her cookbooks. I guess her and Ree Drummond are about my favorites.

[@marlajowens]

Hello Leslie! Thank you for another fabulous video. Your outfits are so cute. I love the colors. I ask that you and Bryant pray for me. I have fallen twice in the last two and a half weeks. I have 3 broken ribs on my left side and have a compression fracture in my back from the second fall I had in Tallahassee, Florida. We had gotten in very late in Tallahassee and was looking for our rental car. I was so tired and was looking for the car that I didn’t see the curb that I tripped over and fell flat on my back. It has been very painful and was difficult to enjoy our vacation this year for all the pain I was in. I finally wen to the ER yesterday morning because the pain had gotten more intense on my left side and middle of my chest. I literally thought I was having a heart attack. My heart was fine. But they did find all the breaks. So now I just have to heal which will take 6 to 8 weeks. I appreciate you and your prayers. And thank you so much! God bless you my friends! Love and hugs from CR, Iowa!

[@bhallmark3390]

Will be praying that you recover soon from your injuries. Sounds very painful…😢

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Oh wow, I am so sorry for your accident! Will be praying.

[@marlajowens]

Thank you all for your prayers in my behalf. I truly need them and appreciate them. God bless you all!

[@annieg9636]

My daughter lives in Hickory, NC! She is a Lutheran’s pastor’s wife!

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

how cool

[@barbaraconder5548]

Thanks for featuring Paula Deene. She is a wonderful cook and I was very sorry for the way she was treated a few years ago. The punishment far exceeded the crime. I never stopped following her through all that time. I have a question that’s been puzzling me. When you were on vacation, your hair was long, but when you got home it was short again. Was it my imagination?

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

I think you were watching the wrong year of vacation, my hair has been short for almost a year since last vacation.

[@barbaraconder5548]

@@TheFarmingPastorsWife You are probably right. Don’t know how that happened, but I do bloopers, too! Both recipes so far look really good. The hoppin John recipe is also called Texas Caviar and we dip tortilla chips in it and eat it as a dip. Love your show and your family and I pray Gods blessings over you all.

[@patriciakoester1580]

We love Paula Deen too!!! Patricia

[@kathybunch200]

I don’t sweat either Leslie. I’ve been in Tennessee for 56 years and I don’t know what kind of old fashion chocolate candy you referred to. My mother’s favorite was Mars Bars with almonds (when I was a child growing up in Michigan). My favorite today is a heath bar. Tell us what you were missing at Sparky’s. Loved your vacation videos!!

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Goo Goo Clusters

[@kimkerley4218]

I’m in Tn and don’t know about the chocolate candy but it sounds good 😊

[@kathybunch200]

Ok Leslie, we Tennesseans didn’t get that question about the old fashion chocolate candy from way back because it’s everywhere here 🤣🤣. GooGoo Clusters are made in Chattanooga (I think). I’ll bet your Cracker Barrel might have some in your area.

[@hermalisa]

I love Paula...In fact, I met her in her store at Pigeon Forge and she signed my cookbook. She's as pretty as she is sweet! I'll have to try those tuna burgers, they look amazing!

[@janbond8460]

I love Paula Dean, especially after I got use to her accent. Indiana here.

[@metonya7036]

Love Paula Deen!!

[@kristenschnese6980]

Yum! I love both tuna and salmon burgers! Have you ever made tuna loaf? On Friday’s my mom used to make that as well kind of like meatloaf but my add with sodas crackers instead .. I like that too.. I listened to some of the service after I got back from church Pastor Bryant and the African American lady were excellent

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Thank You

[@daleholland1651]

I too love Paula Dean. Especially her earlier shows on the food network. Love your clothing purchases. Have a blessed day! I really enjoy watching you cook!

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Thank you! You too!

[@sherrywilliams409]

Those were huge bites! Lol Those shirts are darlin! A flat foot is definitely not a normal arch. A flat foot is a fallen arch. It’s more normal to have an arch in your foot than not. I too have a high arch so when I find a shoe that supports it I always try to buy them. Otherwise my feet hurt. All of your clothes that you bought while at the beach are so cute. I really like your winter shirt

[@karenbrewer5864]

I have always loved Paula Deen and have 3 of her cookbooks. I was like you watching Paula and I loved Martha Stewart. I also like Brenda Gantt and Ree Drummond. You got some cute things at the beach but the long sleeve hoodie is my favorite. I’ve seen those flip flops but I am flat footed and kinda clumsy so I stay away from really thick sole flip flops but I like yours. We like O’Charley’s honey mustard.

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

I also love Paula Deen!! I love her amazing home too! The burgers looked delicious and all your purchases are perfect memories of your vacation. Your church gathering must have been wonderful. Any way is a good way to praise the Lord.

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Thank you

[@emiliagarcia6868]

Love Paula Deen ❤❤ Love your outfits and the ones for the grandkids ❤❤

[@andrear596]

We luv tuna patties. I use saltines instead of bread crumbs. I’ll have to try yours. Sad to hear about your garden. We had a hail storm come thru here. Luckily our garden survived. So far so good. We have lots. Of trouble with deer here. My husband put up a fence. We did the 3 sisters method, corn, Kentucky wonder beans and squash. Everything looks good so far. 😊 oh and okra too!!

[@donnahawkinsharper8344]

I make these all the time. I put dill in mine as well as sweet relish. Then I serve them in a bed of salad greens & we use pear flavored balsamic vinegar & olive oil for the dressing. Ohhhh so good. 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

sounds delicious

[@rebeccamartus5859]

Hi Leslie, shalom! The vaca haul is great! The outfits are beautiful, and better cause they were on sale! The fabric of your lilac top is called" Swiss dot". I loved your clips and voice over, so cute! I will be trying those tuna burgers, as soon as I get the pimento. You got yourself some color! God bless!

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Thank you Karen!

[@agoogleuser5912]

I can’t believe how many people are getting hung up on the way Leslie pronounces “salmon.” I don’t pronounce the ‘L,’ but I don’t get torn up when other people do. It’s a regional, Southern accent thing! Has nothing to do with not being educated enough. Lord have mercy! 😵

[@theshepherds2846]

I agree. It’s rude, and uncalled for. It’s not hurting anybody, so just move on.

[@littlehousehappyhome1504]

I agree! I have tried hard to NOT pronounce the L in salmon, but my tongue just won’t cooperate! It comes out saLmon every time! Lol!

Hi Leslie! Wow! You seem so happy and refreshed coming off your vacay! So, so, happy for you. It always feels gooooood to get away from same-ole-same-ole right???? Anyway, had to tell you this video is grrrrreeeeaaattt! I gotta tell ya, I am not a Tuna fan. I mean I don't hate it, but usually don't make anything tuna. HOWEVER, I will be trying this recipe because the only way I eat tuna is if it tastes good. And, you and Bryant testify it's good so for me it's a go! Thank you. Can't wait to try it! Love from Los Angeles! Oh, almost forgot when you were on vacay one of your videos you were wearing some really cool looking blue and white striped shorts and you looked beautifu!

[@agoogleuser5912]

I love watching Mrs. Paula Deen’s KZbin channel. She is a hoot! I hope she sees your tribute to her. I’m not the biggest fan of her written recipes, as they seem to be inconsistent. I’ve seen Paula herself read her own cookbooks and do it entirely different. I think because she doesn’t use recipes that other people have tried to come in and get finite measurements and it doesn’t always turn out exactly right. But like I said, I adore her. She’s a treasure. Also really like Martha Stewart, too!

[@monicamoore111]

I really enjoyed seeing what you bought at the beach. I love Paula Dean too!! Maybe one day I will talk the hubby into taking me to eat at her Resturant at the beach. Love you guys ❤

we have eaten there is is good

Never had a tuna burger but going to try those! Good option instead of always chicken! I love the cute outfits for the boys! Glad you got those capris and top ! The color is so pretty on you and love that cute top you picked! Thanks for sharing and enjoy the 4th of July!

Thank you! Looks great! Cheers from Houston! Y’all are a blessing.

Awesome video, Leslie! Thank you for sharing! The tuna burgers looked delicious. I used to watch Paula Deen on the Food Network channel. She has wonderful recipes. I really like everything you bought in Myrtle Beach, very cute! I love you guys, God bless you all 🤗🙏🏼❤️

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

You are so welcome!

[@princecatstarr102]

Food network is great....I watch it alot....martha Stewart is good too. Justin Wilson was one of my favs too....he was a hoot. Paula Deen is a wonderful cook....I know she got bad press but if anyone would read her side of things you would understand a little better about how that happened. I loosely follow recipe's no matter who. I make their way first and then adjust to my liking. Some fresh dill would be good in those burgers too. That shirt is so cute that was made for you. How adorable. All the stuff you got is so cute. Turtle hoodie is my fav though. Glad your day went well yesterday. Love and Blessings.

[@lucyspell6526]

The tuna burgers look really good. Will definitely try these since tuna is one of my husband's favorites.

[@doraarellano2283]

Paula Dean has always been one of my favorites. There was a time all I watched on TV was cooking shows. I miss watching them. Back in the 70’s and early 80’s Sherly Boone had a cooking show as well as Tammy Baker I still make some of their recipes. There was a lady name Beverly Nye who had a rest cooking show I have some of her cookbooks. The tuna burgers looked delicious. Thank you for all you and Brent teach us. Love you.

Kens makes an excellent raspberry walnut vinegrette and I get the light version, it’s just as good. So good on salad with strawberry n nuts or apples or whatever in summer.

[@andrear596]

I just heard Ms Lorrie at Whipporwill Hollar say the rabbits ate all her green beans. Maybe it wasn’t just the deer.

Look at you all tanned. Always had salmon patties but never Tuna burgers. I will have to try those.

This is a versatile recipe that could be made using potatoes for potato cakes, zucchini for zucchini cakes as well as tuna burgers and salmon burgers. Thank you, I love your new clothes!

It was!

[@nolliesteers3083]

I watched most of the service it was amazing! Right away with the first sermon you can't be cold or you can't be warm PBryant's sermon about Lazarus. Jesus said for him to come out. If you are dead in Christ you begin to stink He had help undoing the bandages. I hadn't ever heard that part. You don't have to do it all on your own. And then when i heard the young man preaching it was awesome. He called out a tall white man that wast trying to stop smoking. I really felt he was talking to my husband. I played for him but he said"really!" BUT not in a good way. It was amazing ❤❤❤

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Thank you !!

[@Travelgirl210]

Hey Leslie. I’m a long time viewer although I’ve missed a lot lately because I was in the hospital and then rehab. So I’m working on catching up on your videos. I have never been much of a cook but enjoy your cooking videos a lot and I want to try this one. But I have a question. Do you think these could be done entirely in an air fryer? I’d like to try doing that rather than this two step method. Would you have any guess as to if it would work and what settings it might work on? I have always loved salmon patties, crab cakes, fish cakes, and tuna cakes or patties but have never tried making them myself. Any suggestions?

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

Yes they would work great I'm an air fryer

[@debgalloway1398]

My Momma always made tuna patties when I was a kid. They looked about like your burgers, she just didn't fry them. I'm almost positive she baked them. I always have horseradish, I eat it on almost any kind of meat and if I'm eating a bun (I have a small appetite so don't eat buns often) sometimes mix it with mayo. How my stomach handles that but not spicy things like hot sauce or peppers I don't understand! My favorite thing to mix it into is deviled eggs. The flavor it adds is awesome. You have a nice tan Leslie & look so rested and happy!

In my opinion I think they overdramatized Pauladean over the whole thing I’m sorry but you got a look at the woman’s age I seen it made it right don’t say that what I’m saying is everything happens in times that you grow up and anyone on this planet cannot poke fingers at someone else because I am quite sure there are skeletons in yawls closet too so let the moment be she was a great host she was funny she taught us a lot. Be mindful of others short comings be for giving like Jesus.

Leslie, please be careful in the heat because you do not sweat, when you sweat it's your body's way of cooling down. People that do not sweat must drink plenty of water to prevent a heat stroke and use ice to rub on your skin to cool it down. The service yesterday was amazing. When we get to heaven, we will have a grand time in the Lord.
