Not My Mama's Meals is a Cooking Channel series hosted by Bobby Deen, which debuted on January 4, 2012. In the series, Bobby Deen takes inspiration from his mother Paula's recipes, reworking them into healthier versions reducing fat and calorie content. Clips from Paula Deen's various Food Network series are commonly shown with limited nutritional information to contrast with that of Bobby Deen's preparation, which is filmed on location at his New York City apartment. Paula Deen appears as well, typically from her Savannah home, trying samples of her son's reworked dishes.
