Meet Carrie, host of “What’s in Paw Paw’s Belly”
Queen G (Carrie) is a Texas-born home cook, content creator, and recipe inventor with a bold streak a mile wide. By day, she’s a software engineer. By heart, she’s a wife of 30 years to her jokester husband Jeff, mama of five, and proud grandma to ten—cooking up unforgettable dishes for the people she loves.
Raised in a big Southern family, she learned to cook by watching the amazing women in her life—soaking up their love, technique, and flavor.
Now, she elevates and modernizes those time-honored Southern comfort classics with her own bold, flavor-packed spin. She’s known for fearless seasoning, putting jalapeños in just about everything, and cooking up Tex-Mex favorites right alongside her Southern staples.
From smoking meats and crafting homemade spice blends to baking buttery sourdough that’ll make you weak in the knees, Queen G brings comfort food with serious attitude. And she’s not afraid to mix it up—exploring flavors from around the world while keeping her signature Texas flair.
When she’s not ruling the kitchen, you’ll find her off-roading, cooking on her boat, or playing with her grandbabies—with a big grin, Jeff by her side, and a spatula in hand.
—Unapologetically bold. Ridiculously good.
