I love watching Paul Deen when I’m homesick and miss my mom. She’s got such a comforting, warm presence!

Maybe you’d be interested in a service I started where I make customized dinner plans for individuals that include grocery lists and recipes, and take into account your time, budget, nutritional needs, and taste!

I’d like to hear your thoughts about the new service and if this is something you would consider trying or hearing more about? You give me a data and I give you a plan. Contact me at feucht22@gmail.com.

Best,
Melinda

IrishLuci – I’m so glad you posted that!! and to answer your question, YES! it is a representation as sad as it is. I’ll probably get beat up for saying that but it’s true. We eat too much processed crap and our portions are OUT OF CONTROL!

That being said there are people, restaurants, grocery stores, etc that are changing. I’ve noticed it and I welcome it.

I’ve never been to Europe so I can’t comment one that. I hope someone else does.

First of all, I want to say that I LOVE your blog! It’s one of the first things I check when I get to work in the morning. As a mother of an 8 month old you are especially inspiring. Ok, now that that’s settled on to the reason why I finally decided to post something after several weeks of reading everyone else’s comments. I saw that Paula episode and I was dumbfounded. Now I’m from the south and I’m not usually surprised by the “stick of butter” lady’s concoctions(they’re not particularly things I would make myself but I like getting ideas for flavor combinations), but this one was over the top.

Sorry anon – I don’t want to try it! Glad you enjoy your splurge, I’d rather spend my 15 point on 3 slices of pizza! ;~P

I just wanted to let y’all know, Paula did not invent this burger. It is often called a “Luther Burger” (after Luther Vandros), and has been a staple at many Soul Food eateries for a while now. I have yet to meet one person who has tried a bite of one who didn’t like it.

Yes, it is not something you eat everyday, and most people cannot finish an entire one themselves (like a Monte Cristo). I will split one with my husband, and be quite sated on that 15 point “splurge.”

I guess what I’m trying to say is that don’t knock something till you try it.

That sounds completely disgusting, but unfortunately a lot of her other fattening stuff (ok, not the stuff mentioned in the comments above, but some other things) is very appealing to me. When I’m cooking I have to fight the urge to add the butter, etc. I had to train myself that love = not killing my husband (as opposed to love = feeding him yummy things that may not be healthy).

Hope you’re feeling better.

Get better soon, I’m missing your posts. But I have to be honest. THAT SOUNDS AWESOME. A breakfast burger, when I have the points to waste some sunday I am going to try that, but instead of a burger I’ll use a sausage patty. My mouth is watering, and for me I have to indulge in something so horribly bad for you every not so often.
