At first I thought people were being too harsh on her, until I saw the Kwanzaa cake episode…what was she thinking?

And her recent drive-in show with those hideous walnut burgers and mini-corn dogs….

Sandra Lee is not a cook, she just hurts good food.

Indeed,it is true, it’s always true. Comments ain’t even necessary.

I share your cotempt for Sandra what’s her face. I believe she achieved her sudden prominence on the Food Channel on her back or maybe on her hands and knees. I guess that’s a matter of the preference of her celebrity chef beaux. I don’t mean to be coy. I did hear who it was but can’t remember. I think she’s in the employ of those Kool- Whip (Whipp?) people.

Thank god someone else hates the Preppy Dunderchef with a passion–her food is as fake as her ridiculous smile…

The weird thing is that she is unwatchable. It should be funny, but it isn’t. Have you ever noticed that her clothes ALWAYS match the backdrop. The kitchen curtains and accessories are changed for every episode to match her stupid outfit. I can’t stand it.

I think I’m a little in love with Mr. Henry.

Aaaaaaiiieeee! If one is not about to boil one’s own pumpkin, the grocery store very kindly provides entire cans of pumpkin. Just pumpkin. Not even “canned pumpkin pie filling.” Just a nicely preserved gourd. One can happily season the vegetable to one’s own taste, and present a reasonably authentic “home-made” pie. One might consider keeping some egg-nog on hand, too, in this holiday season, because it was quite the rescuer when it turned out there was no condensed milk in La BellaDonna’s larder.

I have never seen this lunatic’s show, and I will make certain that I never, ever do. She deserves to spend eternity frying Coke balls.

I’m an aspiring domestic goddess. Naturally I have broken away from any and all recipes that the women in my very Southern family pass around which contain store-bought goo like cream cheese or Cool Whip…or are made with cake/pie/pudding mix…or Oreos. When I first encountered Semi-Homeade, all I could think is, “Haven’t people been making things like this for years all in the name of saving 30 minutes?” Who needs to be shown how to make a no-bake cheesecake, anyway??? I made cakes and pies from scratch when I was a kid.

I stopped watching the Halloween show after about 5 minutes of wondering if she enjoyed looking like a deranged showgirl, or if she was contracted to do so. So I didn’t see the scooped out pumpkin pie atrocity…nasty! Re-processing processed food and actually using ‘homemade’ in the title…

Gag me -
at our house, we had already become so disgusted by her “gourmet” recipes that we blocked her show!! Now the TV screen goes black after barefoot contessa - no need to rush to switch channel -

I saw the same episode. Tragic. Her shows usually are, though. Unfortunately they’re often wedged between useful shows like Tyler’s Ultimate and Good Deal with Dave Lieberman. I mean, Paula Deen has done some equally weird stuff, but she’s from the south and completely insane, so there’s a rationale behind it.
