#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From beloved food personality Bobby Deen, son of Paula Deen, comes an irresistible new cookbook featuring 120 recipes of Southern comfort-food classics--all under 350 calories and jam-packed with flavor.

Raised on his mother's fried chicken and hoecakes, Bobby Deen ultimately found himself, as a young man, twenty-five pounds overweight. Unwilling to sacrifice any of his favorite foods, Bobby started tweaking the recipes he grew up on, replacing sour cream with nonfat yogurt, using lower-calorie versions of mayonnaise, cream cheese, and other high-calorie items. Even Paula herself sometimes couldn't tell the difference between the lo-cal versions and her originals--since the flavor remained top-notch.

Here you'll find a soup-to-nuts collection of many of the great dishes and flavors you've come to enjoy and expect from the Deens, but with a lot fewer calories. Every recipe has been reviewed and approved by a certified nutritionist. Yes, you can have your Gooey Less Butter Cake and eat it too . . . along with such selections as

It's a Party Guacamole

Easy Ginger-Glazed Spare Ribs

Yes You Can Mac and Cheese

Cheeseburger Casserole

Old-Fashioned Meatloaf

Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken

Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Apples

Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes

Bittersweet Chocolate Cheesecake

Strawberry Streusel Cake

In addition to all these mouthwatering recipes and 65 full-color photos, you will find before/after fat and calorie counts (so you know just how many calories you're saving)--plus a week's worth of 1,500 calorie/day menus, celebration menus, healthy prep tips, weight-loss shortcuts, ideas for stocking a healthy pantry/fridge, and a section on easy high-fat/low-fat ingredient swaps.

Praise for From Mama's Table to Mine

'Deen wants folks to enjoy healthy favorites without sacrificing flavors or family memories, and this cookbook is sure to make a mamma proud.'--Publishers Weekly

'It's so great that Bobby has refashioned some all-time-favorite Southern dishes in a healthier style. He continues to work hard to keep America healthy and happy.'--Curtis Stone, chef, television host, and author

'Bobby Deen has been our 'brother from another mother,' and when you taste his dishes, you immediately recognize Paula's influence. His tasty food stresses eating healthier without sacrificing the delicious Southern flavors and traditions he grew up with! Way to go Bobby!'--Pat and Gina Neely, hosts of Down Home with the Neelys

'Even Paula, who's been eating healthier herself these days, can't tell the difference. 'Are you sure you remembered to take out the fat?' she asked when she first tasted the food. He did--we swear.'--Food Network Magazine

'Bobby Deen nails it with these favorite Southern recipes. What they've lost in calories, they've gained in flavor. Perfect for everything from a quick weeknight meal to an elaborate Saturday night celebration.'--Rocco DiSpirito, chef and author

When's Dinner?! Some Favorite Appetizers

You know that time of the day in the late afternoon when it's not quite dinnertime but your stomach just won't seem to believe you? I reckon that is just about the most dangerous time for trying to eat right. On the other hand, it's also a chance to eat some of the most delicious food of the day. Because that's the hour I start setting out appetizers. These first bites are some of my favorite foods, and I don't like to deprive myself of a good eating opportunity. So I've devised ways to be smart about what I choose at this time of the day.

I like to look at my appetizers as the first part of my evening meal. I mean, what is an appetizer besides the lead-in to the main course? It should work with my main meal, not against it. My first course does the job of getting my appetite in the right frame of mind for what's coming next. If I know what my main meal is going to be, I know what best to pair it up with on the appetizer end.

What I try to do is match a lighter-style appetizer with a heavier meal, and vice versa. If my main meal is going to be something like Grilled Filet Mignon with Vidalia Onions (page 64), I may decide on something like Pickled Shrimp (page 6) to start with. With an ice-cold beer in hand, these babies are a nice bright snack to keep me satisfied as the grill heats up. If I'm planning on something a little lighter for dinner, like Glazed Scallops with Pineapple Salsa (page 80), I may just go with something a little heavier to get me going, like Fiery Queso Fundido (page 12) or Sweet and Savory Meatballs (page 17).

And when I've got friends over for dinner, there's nothing more hospitable than starting the meal out with some really special appetizers. Setting out some beautiful, bite-size Mini Savannah Crab Cakes (page 14) or Spinach-and-Cheese--Stuffed Mushrooms (page 16) tells her my Mama raised me right.

As an added bonus, these recipes are fast and easy to pull together. In fact, most can be finished off before your guests even knock at the door, making for more relaxed entertaining. With these appetizers in your lineup, you'll find yourself free to leave the kitchen, mingle with your guests, and get in a few more bites of each tasty morsel of food you put out.

Bobby's Pimiento Cheese

Well, I guess we Deens are pretty well known for our pimiento cheese at this point. We just love it. That's why a book of healthy comfort food recipes with my name on it absolutely had to include a lighter version of this Southern classic. No matter what you do with it--spread it between two pieces of bread, slather it on top of a burger, or just serve it as is with some vegetable sticks for dipping--this recipe is one you're going to want in your collection. Makes about 2 cups / Serves 8 to 10

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in the Cheddar, mayonnaise, pimientos, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and pepper until well blended. Serve with celery sticks or any vegetable you like.

My Motivation

Pimiento cheese is my pick-me-up food. When I'm lacking the motivation to get myself moving to do some exercise, I promise myself a pimiento cheese sandwich as a reward for a hard workout. While it may sound funny, just having a goal in front of me makes me work that much harder. Find your own pick-me-up food and use it the next time you need a little extra motivation in keeping healthy.

2 ounces low-fat cream cheese (Neufchtel), softened

2 cups grated low-fat Cheddar cheese

/ cup light mayonnaise

2 tablespoons chopped...
