Re: Does anyone watch Farmhouse Rules on the Food Network?

I watched it a couple times and I didn't like it.

I saw the anniversary episode and they kept kissing and it was kind of gross. I just didn't like it. The food she cooked didn't seem all that special either.

I watched it once. She was preparing food for a square dance in her barn, and she was double dipping into all the dishes, "tasting" them to make sure everything was okay. Nope! I never watched again (and I don't know why this cheesy show is still on FN).

I believe she, her family, and farm are in upper NY state.

Her recipes may be rich, but not Southern.

I haven't been able to warm up to her, either.

Maybe I just thought she was into Southern food bc she was frying chicken. Lol! And she kind of acts like PD. Smiley Wink I do like her home.

I think FN is trying to make her the "new" Paula Deen. That was the impression I got the first time I watched it.

ewwww I've seen her do that, too. Just grosses me out.

She was a long-time caterer. I'll bet she did that then, too.

I prefer Heartland Table, too, but I warmed up to Farmhouse Rules last time I saw it. She had her sassy elderly aunt, who likes to gamble, over for a poker night and made snacks all around.

The aunt was a hoot, and the host was more relaxed than she was the only other time I watched the show.

The Pioneer Woman show is very easy to watch and she is very sweet, but her food often seems just awful to me.

I love watching Pioneer Woman. I don't think I ever made anything of hers though.

Sometimes I just need an idea and adapt it...

Ree Drumond the host of Pioneer Woman seems like the type of person you would like to have as a friend.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I've done that with a few of her recipes, too.

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."
