Love your Mama' show and food, the butter cake was really good. I just always cut back on the sugar and butter in most of recipes, the monster cookies are my family's favorite and I cut the sugar in half, as well as the butter. Best of luck to you and your family.

We have loved your mom's shows,her zest for life since the first time we heard her talkin' on the Food Network. She has been such an inspiration to her family and audience that I have almost felt like I have been there, too. Sorry to hear about her diabetes, I have been fighting with it for the past 12 years myself. It would certainly be a great tribute to her for her 2 boys to put a cookbook/lifestyle book together that could somehow inspire us common Southern Gals to get up and start our lives anew also. I am sure my hubby would have been happy even to savor the more (orless)caloric intake himself if he was still here.He had promised to take me anywhere to meet you all if it were possible, bout he passed away a year ago,5 days before my birthday,and it has been so confusing & etc, that I cannot get my head to gether and take that vacation that I desperately need! Wishing yall all the best, Viola Blazek, Somerville,Texas.

My kids & I love Paula and adore her sons. We have watched your show since the very first and I myself remember you from "Door Knock Dinners" I think our all time fav is the Cheeseburger Meatloaf. Please Please Please make a lighter version Bobby. My kids and me are cutting back and eating more fish, luckily we LOVE LOVE LOVE any fish & seafood so it's no sacrifice but there is just NOTHING better than YO MOMMA'S COOKIN & that includes her Cheeseburger Meatloaf. My dream show would be to see Paula & Ina Garten together. Yes they have they're own styles but they both make wonderful yummy simple dishes that anyone can make with minimal fuss. P.S. When I saw Katie for the 1st time on Paulas show being introduced as Bobbys GF I said to my kids "if she is on the Christmas show expect a ring in that girls future" Don't let us down Bobby!!! She's a great girl and funny to boot!!

Hi can I use sweet n Low instead of sugar will it mess up a cake recipe 4 to 6 packs is a cup of sugar I use 6 for Ice tea

By Kristan Hathaway on December 12, 2011

I have made the recipe over, but the main makeover was getting rid of the white flour/white sugar cake mix and making my own cake mix with white whole wheat flour & golden flaxseed meal to increase the fiber, and WheyLow for the sugar in the cake & filling (1/4 the carbs and calories of sugar & no artificial ingredients). I also use less sugar in the filling (my family always wants the pineapple or pumpkin, which are sweeter to start with), about 2 cups.

The cake has 47 carbs "0 fiber" Bj Fox.

Does this need to be refrigerated? There's yogurt and cream cheese so I'm concerned about leaving it out

Went to the lady and sons the lst of november and enjoyed it more than words can say.The food was out of this world and our waiter was so special.Got a cookbook for a special little girl to me and some Hoecake mix just can't wait to make some of this good food. Hope to return someday. Also went to Uncle Bubba's just good food runs in your family. Very good all around.

How can this recipe have 0 Carbs? There are carbs in the cake mix ,buttermilk, and confectioners sugar. I think this recipe sounds great, I think you need to carb count it again.

Made 2 recipes over the weekend to rave family reviews."WOW this is good!" Potatoe Casserole it is nothing like I have made before and my daughter-in-law potatoe lover really liked it! Bobby's Lighter Gooey Butter Cake Quick and easy to make with tremendous results and I can truthfully say I don't know anyone who wouldn't like this!

I have tried your different products at the Walmart and my favorite is your original gooey butter cake, but I can't find the recipe for that one. I can find the others, the chocolate and etc., but not that one. Could you please send me the recipe for that one??? Love Ya, Phyllis Monk Charlotte, NC
