Paula and Diabetes

Posted by Nancy on January 17th, 2012

I watched the Today show this morning with Paula Deen.   And I was impressed with really how open she was, and how right.

It is not what I eat, but how much of it I have eaten over the years that has caused my Type 2 diabetes.  You can’t expect to eat high fat, sugary foods at every meal and throughout the day and not expect consequences.  It will happen eventually.

If you have watched Paula at all in the last few years you will notice a slight change in her recipes, not enough to lose the taste, but enough to make a difference.  And before you ask…No I can’t name one specific recipe to back me up.

Chicken Noodle Soup-Paula Deen

Posted by Nancy on January 14th, 2012

Nothing says comfort like a good Chicken Noodle Soup on a cold winters day.  When it comes to Chicken Noodle Soup I don’t think calories, carbs or anything but how good it tastes and feels as it goes down.

I remember when I was a kid my Mom would always give me Chicken Noodle Soup when I had a cold or even when I came out of the cold, it warmed me right up and made me feel better.  It is a comfort food!  Much like chocolate!

Cheesecake-A Tradition

Posted by admin on December 17th, 2011

What was the world like before cheesecake? I can’t imagine!

I went on an Internet search for the origins of cheesecake (yes, I have way to much time on my hands). It seems it has been around for a very long time. As far back as 776 BC (no! Not Before Children) the ancient Greeks are thought to have served cheesecake to the first Olympians before the games. Of course the Romans could not be outdone and spread the taste throughout the Roman Empire. A couple of thousand or so years later the European immigrants brought the delicious concoction to America. And all this before the Cheesecake Factory was even thought of!

Skillet ‘n Griddle Set

Posted by Nancy on January 1st, 2011

As with most of what comes out of Paula Deens kitchen these skillets are some of the best quality for the price I have ever used.  I love the color. With the non-stick coating I don’t even need oil. My food does not stick, clean up is very easy.  I have some arthritis in my hands and to lift a heavy pot is sometimes difficult, but with these loaded with food they are very easy for me to handle.  Good grip on the handles is what makes it so easy to use.  I absolutely love these pots.  Can’t say enough!

Cousin Johnnie’s Caramel Apple Cheesecake

Posted by Nancy on September 14th, 2010

Those of you who have followed the blog for a while know I am a huge fan of Paula Deen. She is my cooking hero. Anyone who can cook with butter and not feel any shame has my vote for cook of the century.

This cheesecake recipe I tried last year when apples were in season and it was wonderful. Going to make it again in a couple of days so dug the recipe out and sharing it with you. Even if you are not a seasoned cook, this recipe is easy.

Broccoli Cole Slaw

Posted by Nancy on September 5th, 2009

Like a lot of people I am getting ready for my Labor Day gathering.   We don’t have a huge family, but we like to graze.  So the challenge for me is to find foods that  can be set out and people “graze” on all day.

Another challenge I have is my son-in-law, who is a great cook, doesn’t like any salad with mayonnaise in it.  So for him, potato salad is out.  I remembered a recipe that my sister-in-law made years ago and have been looking for it all day and walla…..I found it in one of Paula’s cookbooks.   She has saved my day again!

Hamburgers–Paula’s Way

Posted by Nancy on August 31st, 2009

Labor Day is this weekend and for some it is the last of the summer cookouts.  It is a time for celebrating the American Worker, and in these economic times no one person deserves more thanks than the American Worker.  Celebrate and thank all of those who are working to make this country a better place.

What better way to celebrate than with a truly American icon….the hamburger.  There are so many ways to prepare it.   My mother, God Bless her only knew one way…burnt.   My kids used to call them Hockey Pucks…I tended to agree with them, but not to her face.
