Paula Deen Cuts the Fat: 250 Favorite Recipes All Lightened Up

This book was made for me, but I'll share it with others. I have a condition called GERD and it gives me fits. Fat is my enemy. From the first day I received this wonderful treasure of a book, I have used it for mainly breakfast and dinners. I can already feel my body changing. It's happier. Today is Saturday so I made the Sausage, Mushroom, and Egg Bake. Oh my. It's on page 274 in case you are wondering. My husband told me I could make this again next week, but I already have something else planned (and he's going to love it). This glorious cookbook is a treasure and everyone needs to have it in their kitchen and then they need to use it. The Oatmeal and Raisin cookies I'm making today. I saw the recipe and how can I not make them - they are my favorite cookie. Do I recommend this cookbook to everyone? Yes, I do. Please buy Paula Deen Cuts the Fat. Honestly, you will be so grateful and it will become your favorite go to recipe book. Thank you, Paula, so very much!

In a million years you would not equate the Queen of Butter with a cookbook of light dishes - but that is exactly what she has accomplished with this amazing collection of light recipes. Paula has managed to convey her southern flair with new techniques and ingredients to transform many tried & true southern delicacies into lighter versions of their former selves. As with any good book, I was not able to put down this book until I finished it and like any good Cookbook I ended it HUNGRY and wanting to try all of the recipes. I would recommend this cookbook to any fan of Paula's and more importantly any fan of good 'ol Southern Cooking.

We ate at Paula Deen's Country Kitchen in Pigeon Forge,Tennessee. I love her recipes.

This is an okay cookbook, but not as good as Paula's other cookbooks. It is really just regular recipes that are redone to make them less fat....which I guess is the point. For instance, instead of using regular cream cheese she will substitute the lower fat cream cheese. I already did that kind of stuff. I was kind of hoping for more.

I was really impressed with this cookbook everything was pretty simple. I did make a couple meals and they were really good, I would recommend this book.

I ordered two of these for two friends who had recently suffered health issues requiring dietary changes. The books arrived in excellent condition and one was even signed by Paula Deen.I looked through one of the cookbooks and saw that cutting the fat was much easier, and tastier, than I thought it would be. The pictures of some of the recipes had my mouth watering!A couple changes she made, which made a lot of sense to me, was to use Neufchatel rather than cream cheese. Neufchatel is readily available in most grocery stores and tastes pretty much the same as cream cheese, but with less calories. Also, instead of sour cream, she'll use Greek Yogurt, which also tastes great!Leave it to Paula to make dieting fun and tasty!

Ordered and paid for NEW book, not used. Recieved book with the cover ripped and crinkled. I am NOT sure that this is a NEW book.

I love the book. the condition that it was in (like new) and the speed that I got it in. Thank you so much.

Nice recipes but still quite a bit of fat. Unfortunately there are no calorie or fat counts listed for the recipes so not a good choice if you are using to follow a diet plan.
