Paula and Diabetes

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.

Skillet ‘n Griddle Set

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

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.

Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

For those of who are regular readers, you must have realized by now that I have a love affair with sweets and most if not all of Paula Deens recipes. Well, she has done it again with this cupcake recipe for the Fourth of July picnics…Enjoy!

I will tell you though I cheated a little by adding more cocoa powder…1 teaspoon just didn’t seem enough!

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

Turkey Salad In Tomato Cups

As many of my readers know, I am a Paula Deen fan.  Last weekend I did a Turkey outside on the grill, and it was wonderful ( I will post that recipe later).  Needless to say I have leftover Turkey.  So I thought what can I do with this other than sandwiches.   Then I started going through the recipes I have from Paula and found this chicken salad recipe.   Why not use Turkey instead?  Another brainstorm (I don’t get them often so I take advantage when I do) instead of making it a sandwich, stuff them into tomato’s and walla….a great luncheon for my husband and me!

Chocolate Chip Cookie S’mores

I know I just posted, but I was watching the food channel last night and they had a show with Paula, Bobby Flay, Elton Brown, Tyler ( don’t know his last name) and Giada about Grilling on South Beach…the recipes were awesome.

Of course the chocolate smores caught my interest.  They look so good, that I will have to try them soon!

Ingredients

* Canola oil
* 3 bananas
* 10 store-bought chocolate chip cookies (the larger the better)

* 1 cup chocolate chips

Toffee Brownies

Anyone who has read any of my recipes knows that I am a huge Paula Deen fan.   It is not just her personality, but her comfort food that draws me to her recipes.   Now everyone knows that chocolate is a woman’s best friend.   Forget everything you have heard in the past…it is chocolate.

Here is a recipe of Paula’s that will make you drool with a chocolate high!   I did make a change with mine though when I made it, because I am not a huge Toffee fan, I substituted Caramel.   Yummy!
