Dinner Tonight: Cauliflower Purée

I eat mashed cauliflower all the time I steam it tender in the microwave with a lid and a tiny bit of water. Once the cauliflower is tender I take a slotted spoon and scoop out the veges and put in a food processor. I add some cream cheese, salt and pepper and it is faux mashed potatoes for us. After transferring it to a bowl I put some butter on the top to let melt and a sprinkle of ground pepper. I actually like it better than real mashed potatoes.

Paula Deen Is Trying To Kill Us

I have been eating for close to 5 years a low carb diet. I eat tons of fat, butter, eggs, red meat, pork chops, veges galore. Have not eaten one bite of sugar, flour, rice, bread in this entire time. Not one cheat. I am not over weight, I am very healthy. So you roll your eyes and say, Wow her cholesterol must be very high. Not so. I recently had my cholesterol checked and was told they could be framed and put on a wall as being ideal. Fat is not the evil it is combining fat with high carbs that cause great problems. No I will not eat deep fried butter balls not because it is butter but because it has bread crumbs in the recipe. I love Paula, I love the South and I love southern cooking just the low carb way.

Its real and its here... (as disgusting as it is)

Paula's Fried Butter Balls

2 sticks butter 2 ounces cream cheese Salt and pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Peanut oil, for frying

Cream the butter, cream cheese, salt and pepper together with an electric mixer until smooth. Using a very small ice cream scoop, or melon baller, form 1-inch balls of butter mixture and arrange them on a parchment or waxed paper lined sheet pan. Freeze until solid. Coat the frozen balls in flour, egg, and then bread crumbs and freeze again until solid.
When ready to fry, preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
Fry balls for 10 to 15 seconds until just light golden. Drain on paper towels before serving.

Full recipe is here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/paulas-fried-butter-balls-recipe/index.html

Whats the difference between this recipe and deep fried mozarella or deep frying whole turkeys or chickens (before baking) or even Krispy Kremes which are deep fried TWICE?? All of which I cannot stomach.

you people really need to get a grip.. its not like shes forcing you to eat any of her foods and she will tell you herself that she puts a lot of butter in her food.. i mean seriously butter and cream cheese isn't half as bad as deep fried ice cream or deep fried candy bars and twinkies.. and yes people really do fry these things or how bout Duck Confit (sp?) which is duck boiled and or baked covered in duck fat..lol fatty unhealthy recipes have been around forever, its up to us to learn self control and portion control..lol

Dinner Tonight: Cauliflower Purée

it would have been perfect with about a quarter of the salt content, I was left thirsty and my lips were actually tingling! I will try again though because it is really tasty. My husband actually thought it had potato in! try adding some chopped chives, it gave it a bit of colour and looked a bit more special

It's hard to watch Paula Deen when she is making a dish or chicken soup.
Whatever the recipe is, I have trouble getting thru her programs. No. 1 She talks over making the food and her spittal goes right into the food! Yuck!
It is not professional at all. No. 2 she tastes everything with the spoon or
fork she is using. So gross! She does not show great hygine when cooking. Her dna is going into everything she makes when talking over preparations. I would not want to eat anything she makes! At least talk
away from the dish being prepared and don't touch the dog, or your hair.
Never put the dish cloth over your shoulders either...all that hair and who know what else sitting on the shoulders. Totally grosses me right out!
Hope she takes some advice and changes many of her way's!!!
