I am a Type 2 diabetic. I have found an ALL NATURAL sweetener that is made form Acai Berry and Kiwi fruit. It looks like sugar, tastes like sugar, dissolves like sugar and has NO AFTER TASTE!!! IT DOES NOT SPIKE BLOOD SUGAR. You use this product 1:1 just like sugar. It has changed my life. If you are interested, contact me via email crd5819@aol.com Thanks Chuck

This is SO EASY to make, and I've heard from people that don't like pumpkin-tasting things that they LOVE it! I actually throw in a little ground cloves, too, as my family loves the full pumpkin spices, haha. Thank you so much for this quick, easy, and tasty recipe!!

I make something similar called pumpkin pie cake. I leave out the nuts because of people I know who has nut allergies. I may test out this recipe just to see if it tastes similar to my recipe. I use fat free evaporated milk as well. I love pumpkin desserts and it's nice to see Paula's recipes lightened up for those of us who cook and eat healthy. Thanks Bobby--love watching you and your mom cook together!

I watched Paula's program and she made a hot tea drink using red and lemon Zinger tea bags and apple juice. Can you help me with this? Thanks. Linda

I made this for my turn at dinner night. This is our 5th or 6th year of getting together once a week and let me tell you we have repeated many recipes. My group LOVED this desert and asked me to make it again very soon. I guess it doesn't matter if it's light if you end up eating half the pan right? Thank you for this lighter recipe. I will definitely be looking for more from Bobby.

I've made this recipe 4 times in the last two weeks for my husband, who loves pumpkin. He's absolutely addicted and calls it "Pumpkin Crack". You've GOT to try this one!!

I made this recipe for the holidays. I couldn't find sugar-free cake mix so used regular yellow cake mix. The box was 18.25 oz and the recipe said 16 oz. so I threw away some of the cake mix. I had the same experience as a few others who said there was cake mix floating on top and didn't dissolve into the liquid. I wasn't sure if I made it right but I tried a piece after it cooled and it did taste good. Thank you Bobby for giving us lighter recipes.

I was looking forward to have this dish and it was not what I expected. It was to dry. The cake mix just sat on the top and it made it much to dry.

I tried this recipe yesterday and wasn't sure if I made it correctly. I also had powdery cake mix on top afterwards. I have a question about the cake mix. I couldn't find a sugar-free yellow cake mix so used a regular box but the oz were 18.25 and the recipe calls for 16oz. Therefore, I threw away about 2 oz. I probably won't make it again and will make the original recipe which is easier to follow. It does taste good but I'm concerned about eating it when it looks like the cake mix isn't cooked enough.

I tried this for Christmas Day and it was wonderful. My only suggestion would be to use 1/2 or 3/4 of the dry cake batter, once it was finished there was a lot of crumbly cake batter. But over all it was fantastic and the whole pan was gone...I will make this again!

I made this lighter pumpkin crunch recipe and it just didn't turn out. The cake mix sat on top and was powdery...I have re=checked the recipe 3 times and checked the cans etc to make sure I had the correct ingredients and I did...have you had other people who had trouble with this? Was I supposed to add cake batter and not the dry powdered product? Thanks.

Hey Glenna! Thank you for your suggestion. Bobby's Lighter recipes are meant to be a lighter version of those he loves from his mother. He does not try to eliminate all fat or sugar...just lighten it up a bit. We would always love your input on how you made the recipes even lighter. Please share with the community. Have a great holiday!

Like Deborah Taylor, I also love my Paula Deen red porcelain pot set! The sizes are perfect for my husband and me. However, I need to purchase another 2-qt pot w/lid so that I can cook two veggies at the same time or larger amounts when having guests. The Paula Deen Store and Paula Deen Enterprises have told me the 2-qt. pots are not sold as open stock. Paula is missing a potential market share, and I am missing another 2-qt. pot! Can you please help?

By Janet Stratman on December 22, 2010

Paula, I love the red color you have used in your pots & pan collection. However, one thing I would like to suggest. Make the pots bigger. We have a large family and we would need double the size and more. The ones you have are very attractive and a good weight. Just please make them bigger! Large families are not a thing of the past.

We found out that my Goddaughter is diabetic. Thanks to your son Bobby I have been able to make foods that she can eat. At that my mom doesn't like a lot of sugar in anything she eats. The recipe we made was sweet potatoes and everyone came back for more. We even shared with people at the VFW and they kept asking if we would make more. Thank you Paula for having a son like Bobby!!! In my book your are the queen of cooking. Have a blessed Christmas.

By Anita on December 21, 2010

I fixed this for a dinner party last Friday night. Everyone raved about it. Thanks for the great recipe! It's nice to have a lighter alternative to choose from that doesn't taste light.
