Food Network Favs

My top favs

are

Throwdown with Bobby Flay

& 

Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-In's & Dives

(Triple D)

I still love to watch Barefoot Contessa, Paula Deen, & Giada. 

30 Minute Meals was the very first show I watched on the Food Network back in 2003.  I still want to make this scallops with vermouth recipe

Sadly, I think Rachael Ray is a little over extended these days. 

Whenever I watch 30 Minute  lately,  Rach always sounds so hurried and tired.  I think bossy says it better on her blog.

Check it out here.

I've always like the traveling  food shows - like $40 a day and Road Tasted with the Deen Brothers.

(which raises the question - where are you Jamie and Bobby Deen?  I ♥ ya'll)

Here are some new shows I've recently started watching

5 Ingredients with Claire Robinson 

What Would Brian Boitano Make? with Brian Boitano, of course

Mexican Made Easy with Marcela Valladolid

(This is my #1 top fav-O-rite show)

Check out this recipe to see why!

The first person that I watched on TV

that most inspired me

 to get in the kitchen about 10 years ago

is

Nigella Lawson

I so wanted to be her...

 ...and I still do
