Paula Deen must l-o-o-o-ve holidays

In her new cookbook, "Paula Deen Celebrates! Best Dishes and Best Wishes for the Best Times of Your Life", she dreams up menus for some holidays that aren't even on most official calendars.

Take Elvis Presley's birthday, which is Jan. 8. The main dish here is Country-Fried Steak With Gravy, White Rice, Country Cabbage and Buttermilk Biscuits. Dessert is, of course, good ol' Nanner Puddin'. And as a bonus, Paula throws in a recipe for the King's fave, a Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich.

How many of us whip up a special meal for Presidents Day? Paula does, but mostly her menu featuring Oyster-Stuffed Quail is just a good excuse to celebrate her friendship with former president and fellow Southern-food fan Jimmy Carter, who has twice been a guest on her Food Network cooking show.

St. Patrick's with Paula brings us Irish Lamb Stew, Parmesan Scones and Green Grits Pie ("a taste very similar to chess pie"). This meal is served with a side dish consisting entirely of two cans of LeSueur peas, half a stick of melted butter, and salt and pepper.

Paula's Twice-Baked Potato Casserole is part of her Christmas dinner menu, which starts with a beef main course.
