After growing up in his mother’s traditional Southern kitchen, Bobby Deen knows more than a little about delicious, filling food. His famous mama, Paula Deen, is a household name in down-home American cooking, known for decadent dishes bursting with butter and cheese.

As Paula’s star rose, Bobby and his brother, Jamie, began appearing on her show. This eventually led to a Food Network show of their own and several cookbooks.

At 30 Bobby found another passion: weight training. Since then, promoting exercise and healthier eating has become his mission. In his new show, “Not My Mama’s Meals,” he turns the traditional favorites he grew up with into lighter, leaner and more nutritious options.

We spoke to Bobby in March about his upcoming appearance at Salem Health’s Eat, Play, Live event.

“not My Mama’s Meals” is pretty self-explanatory—you take recipes like your mother’s and find ways to make them healthier. Was she supportive of the idea from the beginning?

People ask me that all the time: “Is your mama mad at you?” And she’s not. What mother wouldn’t want to see her son or daughter living a healthy lifestyle and trying to spread that message? The show is a really honest look at the way I cook and eat. It’s very true to me regardless of the title.

What was the “aha” moment that got you thinking about diet and exercise?

Life began to happen to me, just like it does to everybody else. I was 30 years old, I was tired, my feet were nailed to the floor of the restaurant, and I realized that I was taking far better care of my business than I was my body. It was like a switch just flipped one day. I said, “I really need to get back to the gym.” And that was it.

I have learned to eat to feel the way I want to feel. That means that I’m strict and careful with my diet and the way that I live… on about an 80 percent of the time basis. That other 20 percent of the time, well, you’ve only got one life, enjoy it. Have the things that you enjoy. I’m certainly not wagging my finger in anybody’s face. You can’t eat healthy every day; you’d go crazy!

Speaking of that 20 percent, what are some of your guilty pleasures?

I’m lucky that I don’t have a sweet tooth; I can walk right by cakes and pies. But I have a savory tooth like you wouldn’t believe. I mean, I love a good cheeseburger and French fries with a diet coke or an ice-cold beer. I love mayonnaise. I love a baked potato and a big steak.

are there any healthy foods you used to hate but now enjoy because you found a way to make them tastier?

All of our palates change when we get older. When I was young I didn’t like tomatoes. I didn’t like squash. I didn’t like onions. I didn’t like eggplant. Pretty much all the things you’d expect a kid to say he doesn’t like. But as I learned how these things react inside your body and what they do for you, it made me more accepting of them.

Sometimes you have to put your big-boy pants on, and you’ve got to eat something—not because you want it, but because it’s good for you.

Do you have any shortcuts for people who don’t think they have the time or talent for healthy cooking?

A great way to save time in the kitchen is to get the whole family involved. I love to cook with my girlfriend; my brother loves to cook with his sons. If you can turn your family into a bunch of sous chefs, well then, you can knock out a meal in no time.

If you’re in the kitchen with your family it encourages conversation, creativity, learning—but also, you can dictate what goes into your body as opposed to fast-food companies choosing for you.

What’s your favorite childhood food memory?

It’s endless. We could do an hour-long interview just on that.

So let’s say it’s your birthday. What do you ask your mom to make for you?

My mom makes the most fantastic goulash. It’s not fancy in any way, and it doesn’t have the word “Hungarian” in front of it. It is just a glorified Beef-A-Roni that my mom made my whole life growing up. It’s just the most delicious spaghetti sauce and it’s full of elbow macaroni. You let it sit on the stove, and it’s even better the next day. I can’t recreate it, so it’s one of those things I look forward to going over to her house—we just sit together and enjoy some goulash. It’s wonderful to be alone with her; that’s so rare anymore. It’s my favorite thing.

you’ve worked in your family’s restaurants, you have your own tV show, you’ve co-authored cookbooks and now you’re the featured speaker for the first-ever eat, Play, live Food & Fitness affair. is there anything you want to do that you haven’t done yet?

Are you kidding me? I’m only 42 years old!

Absolutely there’s more I want to do. There are more books that I’d like to write, for sure. The show I’m doing now is about to shoot season four, and I’m really excited about that. And if I can encourage people to get back into the kitchen with their families, then I’ll be extremely happy and feel like I have done what I’ve set out to do.

Recipe

Light Strawberry Short Cakes In a small mixing bowl, sift flour,

baking powder and salt. Add half the flour mixture to the egg mixture and blend until smooth. Add the other half. Gently add the vanilla and the warm milk mixture.

Grease a 17-by-12-inch baking pan with the remaining butter. Sprinkle evenly with remaining sugar. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly.

Bake for about 15 minutes. Cake should spring back when touched. Let cool for 2 minutes and then turn it out on parchment paper.

After cake cools, cut 24 even pieces. With a butter knife, spread each piece with half a tablespoon of cream cheese. Sprinkle half of the pieces with chopped strawberries and almonds. Top with the other piece.

Arrange the grapes, whole strawberries and kiwi rounds on the skewers.

bad habit debunked!Author Elizabeth Somer, MA, RD, is a busy working mom. She’s also a nutritionist. So if you ask her about some of the “worst eating habits” you often read about in magazines and books, you may be surprised at what she has to say!

“Eating at your desk or in the car is not a problem unless it causes a problem,” says Somer. In fact, she allows her kids to snack in the car too. (She recommends air-popped popcorn on the way home from school to avoid the lure of the drive-thru window.)

“Those habits where you stand at the kitchen counter and eat, or you eat off of other people’s plates, or you eat at your desk at work or in the car—those are only a problem if they cause you to eat inappropriate foods, eat too much, or in some way jeopardize your health and safety,” she says. “I often eat at the kitchen counter, but it’s not an issue because I eat baby carrots and blueberries.”

So stash a sensible snack in the glove box or desk drawer. It could save you from yourself next time an unhealthy craving hits.
