There are so many reasons to love Dolly Parton. The less obvious reason is because of her cook book—Dolly’s Dixie Fixin’s. One of my favorite recipes in that book actually came from one of her movies! I know all the Dolly fans out there know what I’m talking about: cup-a this, cup-a that. It [...]
Larnelle Harris isn’t taking any requests for his upcoming Dollywood Spring Mix concert, but he is making one: “I want everyone to get busy and bring someone [to Spring Mix] they’ve been sharing with/witnessing to; what a nice time to come out and be a part of Dollywood!
