Y’all it’s finally here! What has been a labor of real love and devotion is finally premiering tomorrow evening. I’m in NYC right now getting ready for the big day tomorrow.
If you haven’t heard by now, I’ve got a new show that will be airing on the Cooking Channel called, “Not My Mama’s Meals.” In it, I’ll be takin’ my mama’s famous dishes, which are known for plenty of butter, and making ‘em just a little lighter. That way y’all can feel good about enjoying our style of Southern cooking every day of the week, and not just for Sunday supper.
I’ll tell you, it’s been a real adventure, and I’m blessed to have such a talented and supportive family and team on my side. I’m real excited that Mom’s going to be making some special visits on my show to try my version of her recipes, and we’ll see which one wins! Now, I know that my recipes are delicious, but I think you’ll be surprised that we find that sometimes you just can’t touch a classic.
Y’all can learn more about the show on the Cooking Channel website, or I’m going to be on the Today Show Thursday morning, and I’ll be on Fox & Friends on Wednesday, January 11th. You can check your local listings for times.
I just can’t express how I excited I am to share this with y’all and I hope that you will enjoy it just as much as I have. I look forward to hearing your comments.
Remember, catch “Not My Mama’s Meals”, tomorrow, Wednesday, January 4th at 9 PM ET on the Cooking Channel.
Love y’all,
Bobby

Bobby, love your new show and the recipes. When are you going to publish a cook book with these? It would save a tree or so vs. me printing everything out. Good work and thank you. John Clements
By John Clements on November 04, 2012

I watched Bobby fry his chicken on Sun, 26th and wondered why he isn't using Safflower oil instead of Canola oil. It is scientifically proven that it does not enter the blood stream. It happens naturally not to do this. Just an FYI email for you.

Dear Paula Deen Some time ago I wrote you about make a show for people like me who need to lose weight. I love that your son is doing the new show. I would like to challenge Bobby Deen to make a poor person's meal, and make it healthy. Kinda like the poor man's stew Ramen Noodles Can Whole sweet Corn Can sweet pea's Can of Chicken meat Feeds 2 for less then 2 dollars. I would love to see some shows that can do this as nowadays money is so tight the you need to rob peter to pay paul. Your's Dwayne Bobby Dean show is good Paula Dean show is Great

Hello Y'all!!!!
I love how Bobby Deen is taking his Mama's meals and making them healthier!! I am a mama of 5 kids. I am a stay at home mom, college student, PTO Tresurer and Treasurer for imaginarium:Institute
of Fine Arts.
My Mama is a diabetic who refuses to try or even eat healthier foods
and I am an emotional eater that has gained, lost and gained and in
the process of losing again 150 pounds the healthy way!
I am a Team Leader for The Pampered Chef and working on my Bachelors Degree in Health and Wellness. I love teaching people to cook
healthier. So what Bobby is doing totally speaks to the passion that
lives within me!! I would love to get my mama to try some of Paula's
food cooked by Bobby!! It could make the difference between her life
and her death.
I was blessed with viewing the show today about baked coconut shrimp, fruit salad with Thai sauce. I wanted to let you know that we have sell a mango wedger and a pineapple wedger from the pampered chef.
I would love love a heart to heart down home chit chat for my Mama from Paula!!! I think she has lost her will to live and to live healthier!
oxoxo, Tina Griswold

Love your Momma's recipes and I have really enjoyed the Not My Momma's Meals, lighter versions! I keep looking for lighter cheesecake recipes. I have found the best pan to bake cheesecakes in for a water bath. Check out www.cheesecakemoat.com You still need to bake the cheesecake in a springfoam pan, but the cheesecakemoat makes a huge difference in the cheesecake not cracking.

Love the show Bobby, Gotten several ideas. Love to cook myself. Keep it coming.

I came across the following recipe "The Deen Bros. Enlightened Chocolate-Almond Fudge" and it sounds so easy. I do not like coffee and the recipe calls for the following, "2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder". I was wondering if I can just eliminate it, or if something else needs to be substituted and if so what?
By Vicki Bedford on February 16, 2012
Bobby, you are the greatest! I have been a fan of your Mom and family for years. I like your new show and I will always adore your mother. Best of luck to your whole family. You have what it takes to make this new show a hit. GO DEEN FAMILY!

great cooking

I have an unrelated comment for Bobby Dean..I wanted to let you know I've been baking healthy cupcakes for several years. I use Splenda 50/50, 50% egg whites, cholestoral free oil, light butter, pudding, etc. to lighten up the cupcake recipes. I recently took your Mom's "Best ever Carrot Cupcake" recipe and lightened it up. I used it for entry into a well known and esteemed Cupcake Challenge in December 2011 and I got 2nd place! I also did this with her Red Velvet cupcakes and they were delicious. So if you're ever interested in learning about making her baked goods lighter, I'd be happy to give you some of my secrets! Good luck with the show, I think it's great that you're trying to help America learn how to cook healthier.

Dear Ms. Paula Deen,
Stay true to yourself and your heritage. Southern cooking is hundreds of years in the making and you share with us what you know. I hope you don't let the unkind comments get you down, and that you will continue to pass down to us what you know. As far as Anthony Bordain goes, I will withhold my comments.
Mr. Bobby Deen,
I wish you the best with your new show. I just hope I don't have to add some butter to what you cook to make it taste good! Just kidding.
Hold on to your Mom and give her a great big hug because she didn't do anything wrong at all.
My best wishes to all of you!

I love reading about your family and seeing your pictures. I respect the fact that you are teaching your son's family values because so much of that seems to be going by the wayside anymore..maybe someday we will meet and by that time your son's may even have their own cooking show.lol..wishing you lots and lots of love from this country girl's kitchen to Brooke Deen's kitchen of love.
