I love you more than Paul Deen loves butter.

Paula Deen announced today that she's been living with type 2 diabetes for the past three years. Apparently she's had some unhealthy eating habits... 

In honor of Paula coming out today to defend her fattening, sugar- and butter-filled recipes as "entertainment," I'm posting two of my favorite PD recipes that you should never make. Kidding! Moderation is a good thing - keep that in mind.

This said, here's a link to my gym, Lifetime Fitness. If you join, tell them I sent you (I'll get bonus classes for free!). Eat, cook and live every day just a little bit healthier than you did yesterday. I will too.

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 1 cup herb-flavored stuffing mix, crushed

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the chicken to a shallow buttered casserole and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Layer the cheese slices on top.

PEACH COBBLER

Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

Ingredients 

• 4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
• 2 cups sugar, divided
• 1/2 cup water
• 8 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• Ground cinnamon, optional

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt.
• Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.
• To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
