Breakfast
As a pick-me-up to kickstart her day (which often begins at 3 a.m.!
), “I use Folgers for my cup of ambition.
I like quite a bit of cream, so it’s just a little more than tan.
A cup and a half will do me all day,” Parton tellsWall Street Journal Magazine.
And Parton loves scrambled eggs in the mornings as well, she notedin an interview withInsider.
Safe to say, the singer is rising and shining with eggs on her plate one way or another.

“When I’m home, I spend Sunday with my husband,” she tellsParade.
She doesn’t stick to just Southern cuisine, though.
“I love Indian, Italian and Mexican food.
Parton prefers simplicity, no matter what she’s eating or serving.
“I don’t like pretty food.
The way I see it, if the food’s too pretty, it ain’t too good.”
As far as drinks go, Parton prefers red wine.
“I don’t know too much about different kinds.
Hey, it is vacation after all!
They also have little pizzas that I love.”
“I tried every diet in the book,” Parton has said, according toVanity Fair.
“I tried some that weren’t in the book.
I tried eating the book.
It tasted better than most of the diets.”
It’s OK to enjoy potatoes and cornbread and even Taco Bell during the week.
Overall, it sounds like she eats a variety of foods and enjoys cooking well-rounded and delicious meals.”
