Maybe it was our southern grandmothers who convinced us that a casserole is the comfort food of any occasion, from births to funerals. Paula Deen understood this and for years has has been glorifying big, creamy dishes based on sour cream, mayonnaise and buttermilk.

Sorry, kids. This too shall pass. If you ever wore braces, you’ll never take for granted the simple pleasure of  biting into an apple with smooth teeth and no more railroad tracks, rubber bands, or brackets.
