Paula Deen - Healthy Cooking

Those are two phrases that really shouldnt go together. Of those of you that are regulars of Food Network, you are familiar with Paula Deen and her two sons and their various cooking and food shows that are on the network. Well, most of you that have watched Paula's show realizes that her recipes are not very health friendly. I was watching Paula's Home Cooking on Thursday 3/8 called Barbecue Fest and this one took the cake. It wasnt really the Cornbread recipe that had whole milk or buttermilk, or even the donuts that she made by deep frying premade store-bought biscuits, it was her Cheese on the Cob recipe that made my stomach twirl. She started this recipe by slathering corn on the cob with Mayonnaise...yes thats right...she spread mayonnaise on these corn on the cob before adding spices and parmesan cheese. Then after she cooked the ears, she then added butter to it. Talk about heart attack on a plate....whew! This sure isn't on your diet plan! Althought I must admit - even though Mrs. Deen isn't considered healthy fare, it is sure good. You should try one of the recipes that Paula Deen has compiled in her cookbook, or on her show.
