She says, "I may not have been born in the South but I got here as fast as I could. Mama will tell you I wasn’t much of a cook growing up but as times change and life throws you lemons, you gotta make lemonade.

Southern Bite
Feeding people makes Stacey Little happy. It’s just about as plain and simple as that. "There are few things in this world that I delight more in than my family and friends gathered around my table enjoying a meal. The truth is, food makes most people happy – regardless of the chance it might also make them fat. In the South, we celebrate everything with food: birthdays, anniversaries, funerals and football games. It’s just one of the many ways a Southerner expresses love to another person. We feed them."
