I take her magazine and have bought her books, but, it's hard for me to make anything because she writes recipes for a gang.

Not applicable for 2 people or even small families like 4.

Her apple rolls and cinn buns calls for like 9 cups of flour, qt of milk that's fine for her to cook for her big family and ranch hands, but, not for the general public.

I watch her show, and I enjoy it, but some of the recipes are not appetizing. I think a lot of the chefs just reinvent the wheel to fill air time, and to sell cookbooks. I've noticed this with a lot of the shows and chefs.

I just cut ingredients in half to accommodate my serving needs (of course you can adjust further but I’m always glad I didn’t).

Almost everything freezes well, too, for your extra portions.

Trust me, if I mess up the kitchen doing “scratch” cooking it’s gotta be worthwhile (and her recipes usually are).

yeah, she has tasty, down home old time cooking ways.

Not much for that spicy stuff , though, she can't help it she lives to close to

me in Tx. LOL I need to go to her shop over in OK.

Wish QVC would carry more of her things, but, guess they can't buck Walmart. Her plates are so beautiful.

@SharkE

I agree, I wish the Q carried more of her things, too. You are right, Walmart currently has a lock on so many of her things. Sadly, most of the Walmart stores in my area (a major metropolitan area) have stopped carrying her products. We have two that still carry a mix of it, but not nearly what they did in the past. All the other stores have dropped her completely. Even last year at the holidays all of her cook books were drastically marked down on clearance.

She has created so many beautiful items for the kitchen. I agree many of her recipes are for such a large number of people it is too much work to use them by cutting everything down to smaller portions. However, she makes wonderful small products for the kitchen - cute little pots, bowls, pretty plates, batter bowls, bake ware, colanders, (I much prefer hers to Temptations) etc..

LOL

your last line is funny. We don't get many snarkers in KItchen though.

Why I enjoy it.

@SharkE I routinely cut recipes down and usually don't have any problem. As much as you cook, you can usually figure it out.

Maybe tomorrow?

Ironically for this reason her cookbooks are perfect for my family of 6 with hungry teenagers. I need recipes to feed an army. I have to double recipes in every other cookbook.

@denisemb - They rearranged a couple of guest appearances this week; Ree will be on this Friday.

@denisemb @loriqvc

I found that odd - to have someone who was there in studio cut to run a taped segment from the night before...only to have the person who was there (Ree) become a delayed taped segment on another show after being billed to be on that night. They can certainly do whatever they want, but it seems odd they didn't just put Ree on the night she was billed to be there and run the taped segment with Julie Andrews on Friday.

Re: Ree's newest cookbook

loriqvc — Wed, 23 Oct 2019 19:37:33 GMT

@Havarti - I am fairly sure that Ree was not at the studio in person yesterday; it's very likely that her segment was taped previously for airing whenever CBS chooses, as this is a common practice for talk shows. Ree is very good about sharing information about all of her upcoming appearances on her Facebook page, and there has been no mention of this one yet. In addition, Steve Carell's appearance was previously listed as being on air tonight, but it is now airing tomorrow night instead. For whatever reason, CBS simply decided to change things around in the schedule (or perhaps one of the guests requested the change).

JMO, I think she's spreading herself too thin with all the endeavors and will crash and burn. In a couple of years people will be saying Ree who.
