Mashed Potato Casserole - Paula Deen

Paula Deen is known for her Buttah and fattening and unhealthy recipes. Despite this, she is one good cook and her recipes are worth following with a few changes.  I have learned to almost automatically cut down on the fats in her recipes and they still are full flavored.

I know that her health has changed her eating habits but I still have many of her old recipes.

Mashed Potato Casserole

Ingredients:

2 cups mashed potatoes
 sour cream (cut to 1/4 cup low fat)
1 small onion, sliced thin
1 small bell pepper, sliced thin
(one tablespoon margarine)
grated Cheddar (1 cup)


Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Spread one half mashed potatoes evenly on bottom of casserole dish.

Layer sour cream evenly over top of potatoes

Saute onion and bell pepper in margarine and place over sour cream.

Add the other half of mashed potatoes.

Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

Eat and enjoy.

    Paula Deen is certainly a good cook; even her new healthier versions are good. Blessings, Catherine

    Hi Chaya,
    A delicious way of eating mashed potatoes. I can tell that my family will enjoy this potato dish. Yes, Paula Deen's recipes are good, even with the reduction in fats and salt. Glad that you could join us in CLAS!

    Hi Chaya,

    I have this assumption too that PD is using a lot of butter for her cooking but I am changing my opinions now after trying out a few of her recipes.

    Good that you have transformed this PD's classic mashed potato recipe to suit your taste and family.

    While some experts question whether lemon has good detoxifying properties, citrus fruit contains a lot of vitamins. It is said to have the potential to flush THC metabolites from the system in surprisingly small amounts. You should mix one tablespoon of lemon juice with 500ml of water and sipped multiple times over the course of several hours. The aim is to drink this mixture 7–8 times in the days leading up to a drug test. If you’ve been vaping a lot lately, keep a bottle of this mixture on hand to ensure you get enough.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
