Reta Doughty, a real estate agent with Pinnacle Realty, cooked three meals a day during the pandemic.
âIâd come up with something nice and fancy for breakfast, lunch and dinner,â Doughty said. âI gained 22 pounds, and I just canât seem to get it off. I didnât cook more healthfully â quite the opposite.â
Doughty said sheâs known for her fried apple pies. She made them by the dozens, and froze them.
âOne day, I got in the kitchen and made 400 pies,â she said. âAnother day, I made 200. Iâd take them to people, leave them on their doorstep. I reminded myself of my mama so much, I can tell you that.â
