Walmart carries a line of Paula Deen products. They carry her ooey gooey butter cakes, red velvet pound cakes, chocolate bundht cake, rum pecan pie, etc. Those are only a few. I am a HUGE fan of her tv show so I decide to try some of them. Lord, DO NOT look at the nutritional information. The single serving dishes are very small and somehow manage to pack in 1000+ calories. One of her "fudge bars" is about 5 inches long and half an inch thick. The thing has 1200 calories, 70 grams fat, 40 saturdated fat and 4 trans fat. Better be good right? WRONGGGGG.. All of the products I have tried, with the exception of the rum pecan pie, have not actually been good. They all seem very dry. You would think something with 1200 calories would be sweet. No, its very bleh. Most of her baked goods I have tried are very, VERY dry, bland and lacking true flavor you can taste. Maybe it's because they are mass produced? Maybe they dry out on the shelf? I don't know. But I sure find it hard to believe it's original Paula Deen.

I too would like to have the pecan pie recipe. I ran a search and found 3 different versions (of pecan pie) that said they were "Paula Deen" recipes.

I am not trying to be cheap or put you through a lot of trouble, but I need to take something to my mom's for Thanksgiving and if you find the time to post it here it would be much appreciated. If not I understand.

What kind of trouble could possibly come from posting a recipe EM? Seems like a very strange thing to have had an issue with.

I have a great sweet potato soufflé from Paula Deen that I would be willing to post in return if anyone is interested.

I would love to see a recipe swapping thread here in the food section. I am always looking for something new to try. Smiler
The issue is that a formite who was banned and is possibly back under a new name- in the past continually asked for recipes after recipe - and usually posted an excuse not to use it. after the other person went to the trouble to post it. For several days now the
Forum has been receiving the same inane type(s) questions from a forumite. If you feed her she will not go away. The person, if she be the same, also has stated she does not know how to cook. If I could get to you with PM I would make sure you had the right one. I am not the person whom she asked for the recipe. I just have a good memory! Old teachers never die, LOL! We do exchange recipes on another Forum I belong to.
I just realized that the ball is actually in latoyaah's court! I think latoyaah also suggested investing in a cookbook. The books are also in the libraries and can be seen at Books-a Million. Again, the ball is in latoyaah's court. I cannot locate my PD cookbook. As I said, I would go to the library and copy/send it to you! For your eyes only! I would go with the dark rum PD recipe with or without the rum (internet). The recipe from the Loveless Cafe(internet) is from a country cafe just south of Nashville and was featured on Food Network by PD.
I just now checked this thread again. I'm at work right now but I'll try and post the recipes that I use when I get home. I believe the pecan pie is called Lisa's pecan pie. I know that there is a little flour in the filling and that it uses brown sugar instead of white sugar.
This recipe has never failed me. I always get compliments when I bake it.
Sorry I didn't see the request for the recipe before now.
Just googled it so here you go.
Lisa's Southern Pecan Pie
from the Lady and Sons Cookbook

4 tbsp. butter
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c. cane syrup
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup pecan halves
One 9-inch pie crust

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cream the butter, sugar, flour and salt until smooth. Add the syrup, eggs and vanilla, then fold in the pecans. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake for 45-50 minutes or until firm to touch.
