From beloved food personality Bobby Deen, son of Paula Deen, comes an irresistible new cookbook featuring 120 recipes of Southern comfort-food classics�all under 350 calories and jam-packed with flavor. Raised on his mother�s fried chicken and hoecakes, Bobby Deen ultimately found himself, as a young man, twenty-five pounds overweight. Unwilling to sacrifice any of his favorite foods, Bobby started tweaking the recipes he grew up on, replacing sour cream with nonfat yogurt, using lower-calorie versions of mayonnaise, cream cheese, and other high-calorie items. Even Paula herself sometimes couldn�t tell the difference between the lo-cal versions and her originals�since the flavor remained top-notch. Here you�ll find a soup-to-nuts collection of many of the great dishes and flavors you�ve come to enjoy and expect from the Deens, but with a lot fewer calories. Every recipe has been reviewed and approved by a certified nutritionist. Yes, you can have your Gooey Less Butter Cake and eat it too . . . along with such selections as It�s a Party Guacamole � Easy Ginger-Glazed Spare Ribs � Yes You Can Mac and Cheese � Cheeseburger Casserole � Old-Fashioned Meatloaf � Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken � Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Apples � Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes � Bittersweet Chocolate Cheesecake � Strawberry Streusel Cake In addition to all these mouthwatering recipes and 65 full-color photos, you will find before/after fat and calorie counts (so you know just how many calories you�re saving)�plus a week�s worth of 1,500 calorie/day menus, celebration menus, healthy prep tips, weight-loss shortcuts, ideas for stocking a healthy pantry/fridge, and a section on easy high-fat/low-fat ingredient swaps.
