Yet another frightening recipie from, guess who? (PAULA DEEN!)

This really wanted to make me puke. I also saw it on her show; fatty ground beef, butter, eggs, bacon... all wedged between two glazed doughnuts. Heart attack, anyone?

 You need to relax a little. Eating that mess one time won't kill someone.

It may not kill them, but it can't be good. What are the health benefits? Or even enjoyment benefits?

 

I agree, it sounds sick. All her recipes are pretty nasty.  

I really can't stand the recipes Paula Deen makes - they're disgusting and don't even look appetizing!

Oh Paula, what a caloric train wreck, so delightfully demented, deep fried, and dipped in butter you are!

Glazed doughnuts, ew, I didn't see that coming.

that looks good.

In all fairness to Paula Deen, she's not even the one who first came up with the idea:

Why she felt the need to make her own "recipe" for it, I don't know.

if her food makes you want to puke, perhaps you shouldn't tune in to her show.

Personally I have never cooked a Paula Deen recipe that didn't turn out delicious. 

Wow lots of Calories and Fat, Im Sure But MAN does it look good to me! LOL

It's not that I don't like Paula (I love her as a person, just not her food sometimes!) but some of the things she makes are just rediculous - like the deep fried "butter balls".

Actually, I've tried some of her recipies (lightened just a tad) and yes, they are delicious. I just think she should tone it down a little with the butter. Hahah. xD

That sounds about as appetizing as those mcgriddles from McDonalds. As in, it was probably one of the grossest things I ever tried several years ago.

Aw, you don't need all that.  Just pass me a double helping of Frito pie.  What I really like is her House Seasoning - salt, pepper and garlic powder.  Wouldn't that taste great on a donut.

If calories aren't considered, Paula's food is AMAZING.
Foods often taste better because of their unhealthy factors [ice cream made with cream vs. ice cream made with skim milk, anyone?] That's why it's so hard to diet... & also why her stuff tastes so good.
We just look at it from a healthfood perspective, & obviously we see it as gross. But if you were to eat her cooking, you'd probably feel otherwise.

Well she enjoys her food. I was watching a video on MSNBC where they were classifying different types of eaters. One was someone who eats the hamburger and french fries, but just half the hamburger and a few fries. Paula Deen is by no means a small lady but she isn't as large as you might imagine someone would be who makes all those recipes. If you were to eat something like that just make sure you become one of those eaters!

I actually thought that looked pretty good for an indulgence, and I thought it could actually be made reasonably healthy (using lean beef, turkey bacon, etc)... until I saw that that was a GLAZED DONUT and not a bagel like I thought!  Jeez!  Leave it to Paula Deen...

Well that's a lot of food for me, especially in one sitting.  And I don't really like bacon or burgers, but I do enjoy Paula Deen, and even though I haven't eaten any of her recipes or tried them, and am sometimes turned off by the heaviness of her recipes, I like her as a person...

But I really have to agree, that looks disgusting.  TWO glazed donuts? I mean I said earlier I can't eat that much food in one sitting... but I can't really even eat one glazed donut, let alone two.  Maybe it's just cuz I'm not a breakfast person?  I'll take an apple and some oatmeal over that any day, even on a day when calories (or fat or carbs or... vitamins) don't count.

I admit Paula can be heavy handed on the butter, but I've seen other food network hosts (read=Ina Garten) use 8 sticks of butter in one dessert, all to make little square pecan bars. They did look good but I wouldn't touch that recipe with a 10 foot pole as is. The same goes for Paula's food. Some of her recipes look great, some look a wreck, but with some modification I'd try the ones that look good to me.

Ewww

the recipe *did* say that you could use an english muffin =)

(This is how I make burgers at home....english muffins, no bun)

and *some* people enjoy the whole sweet & savory idea....it may not be anything even resembling healthy, but am I really that horrific if I think it looks interesting? It's just a matter of different tastes and what you're used to! =) 

Lady's Brunch Burger...

Hmmmmm, that looks mighty fine to meeeee!!! I'll have one...ha!

Not everyone is trying to lose weight. We people here at CC are here for a reason, and one of them is not to critisize others.

I think Paula makes fantastic food/recipes! And...I think that if I was the one doing the show, and making the money she does? Who in the heck cares. She only makes the food and presents it. She does not shove it down peoples throats.

If we are trying to make new changes for ourselves. We have to accept that FOOD is always going to be there. You can either eat it, modify it, or leave it. That is our new and improved task to better ourselves. We can still eat what we enjoy. We just now do it smartly, by keeping our cal limit as much as possible. That alone is a big difference than the many cals we may have consumed before joining CC. Probably, about cut in half difference. That alone will bring on changes. For us...not Paula.

you GO Paula! You make em up, and we will learn the art of modification, and still enjoy it.

 

 

Seperately, I know each ingredient would taste delicious, but I don't think I could stand it all together. Even if it didn't have like twelve hundred calories I wouldn't want to eat that.
