Why Is There a Paula Deen Video on the Right Column?

As many of us know, Paula Deen is a crazy and butter-obsessed lady that is often featured on many Food Network cooking shows.  In the video shown on the right column, she makes her french toast using bananas, nutmeg, and a couple of other ingredients.  The reason to why I chose to show her video on my blog is because I wanted to show how each person/household/family has a unique way of cooking the each meal.  For example, in order to cook the french toast I am planning to make tomorrow, I have to pick up ingredients such as sweet bread, vanilla extract, cinnamon, etc.  

Another reason to why I chose to show Paula Deen's video is because I wanted to express the idea of how much control people have over their food when they cook it themselves.  When cooking our own breakfast, lunch, and dinners, we, ourselves, choose what ingredients to use, how to cook the food, and how much to cook.  By doing this, it allows us to save money by cooking the food we need instead of eating out and being forced to pay for food we may or may not eat.  Also, by having control over the food we consume, we can also eat healthier.  For example, I could substitute in low-fat milk and egg whites instead of plain milk and whole eggs.  By doing this, I just cut down a third of the cholesterol I would've consumed originally.

Even though Paula Deen and I may use different ingredients or use different techniques, we will both end up making delicious french toast, which is all that matters at the end of the day.
