When beloved author, TV star, and chef Paula Deen was diagnosed with diabetes, she thought it might be a curse, but it turned out to be a blessing. While food had always played a major part in her lifeโfrom offering comfort during the tough early days to making mealtimes special for her family to inspiring her business and professional lifeโit would now play an even bigger role: as the key to managing her health. By taking charge of her life and making small changesโa little less sugar here, a slight substitution thereโshe reaped big results. Paula soon found herself forty pounds slimmer and feeling great, all the while eating the Southern favorites we all love: (oven) fried chicken, lower-fat biscuits, and red velvet cakeโlightened up!
Now sheโs back with a brand-new cookbook featuring fresh twists on her treasured recipes for anyone who wants to lose weight, control blood sugar, lower high cholesterol, or just serve healthier meals to their families. Filled with 250 lightened-up-but-still-delicious recipes, Paula Deenโs New Testament offers classics like
โข Everyoneโs Favorite Pimiento Cheese โข New Savannah Gumbo โข The Ladyโs New Cheesy Mac โข Beaufort Shrimp Pie โข Nutty Sweet Potato Balls โข All-New Peach Cobbler
But this is no ordinary cookbook. With honesty, insight, and her trademark Southern charm, Paula also shares for the first time her personal story of triumphs over adversity and explains her decision to go public with her diabetes, a disease that affects millions. Whether youโre a longtime fan of Paulaโs dishes or looking to incorporate healthier meals into your life, Paula Deenโs New Testament is a friendly, fun guide to having your cake and being healthy
