Thank You Jamie & Bobby Deen!!

We had such a awesome time at Borders Books in Dallas last night. Jamie and Bobby were in town promoting their new released cookbook The Deen Bros. "Take it Easy". This is a really great cookbook. I had plenty of time to scan through it while we were waiting in line to have it signed. Just a few of the recipes I cant wait to try are Granny's Fried Chicken, Grilled Chicken w/Brown Sugar & Pineapple Rings, Sweet & Spicy Pork and Jamie's Five Layer Beef Taco Pie. Goodness I haven't even made it to the dessert section, but I am sure it is going to be just as good. I have included a link to The Deen Bros Book Tour & Signing so you can see if they are coming to your city. I couldn't believe that Jamie and Bobby just walked in the front door of Borders all by themselves. I didn't even notice because I was already in line for the book signing. My daughter ran over to tell me "mama their here" and she was gone like that. I couldn't get out of line so I gave my camera to my oldest son to get a few pictures of them coming in the lobby.

I so did not expect them to run over to me with the picture above. Mackenzie you lucky girl is all I could say when they showed me that picture. Jamie and Bobby were nice enough to stop and pose for a picture with her, how cool is that! We stood in line for about a hour before they came out and signed books. I gotta tell you both those boys are easy on the eyes. Borders said they would not be posing for pictures, but as I got closer to the front they were letting people pose for pictures after they signed their book. I was so excited to have a chance of getting a picture with them. When it was our turn Jamie and Bobby were so nice. They sat and talked to us while they signed all my cookbooks. They told us they were taking pictures with everyone!!!!!!! I was so excited, I told them that was very gracious of them to take the time and pose for pictures with everyone Bobby said it's not a problem. So you can see I finally got my picture and now I have met the whole family. Awesome night is all I can say. Click on the link below for more pictures.

Bobby and Jamie telling Mackenzie your the little girl we saw at the front door. She said yep this is my mommy.


Jamie told her she was a sweetheart and very pretty. Mackenzie got so embarrassed and turned red.


talking sports with Travis.


I got to tell Bobby that I won a contest on wfaa channel 8 and I went on the show and made their chocolate chip pie from "Recipes from the Road". He thought that was very cool!




Bobby trying to give Carson a high 5 but he was to shy LOL


Jamie was talking to me about his son Jack and telling me how shy he is but not in front of a crowd.


They signed all three of the cookbook that I own. To cool now I have all of their cookbooks and each of them are autographed!!!!!

How fun! I've never, ever been to a book signing, but reading about your experiences really makes me want to go to one. Thanks for sharing!
You are so lucky to have met them in person! They sound very down to earth, just like Paula.
Please make the grilled brown sugar chicken and pineapple and post the recipe! It sounds awesome!
Tina, I am so jealous! How great is that that you got to meet them. Paula is so lucky to have such great sons following in her footsteps.
