MJ PAMPENA says

THE PERSON WHO NEEDS AXED IS THE PIONEIR WOMEN,IM REALLY REALLY TIRED OF WATCHING HER HUSBAND,KIDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS RUSTLING CATTLE.I FIND IT DISGUSTING!!!REALLY WHO WANTS TO WATCH THEM BRANDING & TAKING THEM TO SLAUGHTER!

@MJ PAMPENA: I love Ree Drummond’s sense of humor on The Pioneer Woman! And she offers a lot of good advice. But I would not try all of her recipes. Most of these Food Network “chefs” are not true chefs so I wouldn’t recommend trying all their recipes. They need to have some theme for their shows! Get your recipes online from America’s Test Kitchen or Cook’s Illustrated, they have been tested. Valerie Bertinelli is not one that I watch.
The chefs on The Kitchen are the only ones who are actually good chefs.
Molly Yeh gives good advice but what happened to her lately? Tons of makeup, acting childish and over-smiling, overacting, it’s really irritating to watch. Maybe low viewership so they told her she needs to shake it up? I like that she has a small countertop like the rest of us. Lets us know that we can do it too. I checked out her book from the library and was unimpressed.

I just recently began watching her on our television channels. I find her adorable and quite a cook. She is an example to young woman that want to learn to cook and be a star to their family. We certainly need that more from the young couples. She is not intimidating to them. She makes the viewer relax and be aware, sometimes you make mistakes but can correct them. Don’t cancel her I’m a grandmother…she’s of value.
