Rachael Ray.
I don't really like to cook that much. I tend to keep it simple because my husband doesn't like garlic or onions, and I do. My 12 year old son is extremely picky with a capital P. My 8 year old daughter just kind of goes with the flow. So that said, I find Rachael's receipes easy and quick to make. It's not gourmet, which is right up my alley. I also like the Campbells Cookbook for different ideas from time to time. But as I stated above, unfortunately, I can't stray to far from reservation, which can make cooking even more boring, and even frustrating. We do order out at least twice a week too.

Masaharu Morimoto - damn, his stuff looks like art and he is a master chef, with clever ideas and unusual combinations. I would love to try his food.

Mario Batali

I have to admit, I love The Neely's...they are so darn cute.

Rachel Ray actually has some really good ideas for very quick and hearty meals, but I can only take her in small doses.

And since I'm praising, let me jeer too (don't want to be one-sided).

I can not stand that shark grin Giada. She has zero personality (nice rack though) and her food is so boring. I want to jump out a window every single time she must pronounce "prosciutto" with those damn teeth grinning through.

I also think Flay seems like a big d***. Can't stand him.

I know! Everytime I watch her show that Olivia Newton-John song Heart Attack keeps playing in my head!
