hi everyone!
i know it’s immature and not very nice to talk negatively about about anyone but i cannot contain myself when it comes to sandra lee?????? i mean come on…
who would serve a store bought corn muffin split in two with cool whip and chocolate syrup in between the two halves? (like a cool whip corn muffin sandwich) then top it with more cool whip and four mixed berries?
this is one of the things she made for her sister in law’s (or maybe it was her sister’s) "special brunch".
i mean if you’re going to serve crap, at least let it be yummy crap. no?
ewwwwww…

I’ve watched Sandra Lee and found some of her hints helpful. I’m not her biggest fan, but let’s be reasonable. She is simply providing ideas to those of us who are very busy but still want to provide our family with some “homemade” or, “made in the home” if you prefer, options, rather than takeout on a hectic night and don’t have a cook (or our mother’s cook) to rely on. Seriously, it’s like I’ve thought about some of the outrageous comments on these blogs, if you don’t like something then why do you continue to watch it? I’ve also defended Martha when friends and family tell me that there’s no way someone can realistically prepare so many things from scratch, every meal. I remind them that I get ideas from Martha, but if I have to use, god forbid, canned broth instead of homemade, then I do. Anything can be tweaked to meet your specific needs if you can just get over yourself for a minute.
get a life
I agree! I love that you loathe her as much as I do. How on earth did she get a show? Is the blonde hair and boobs? seriously. We make a game of predicting how she “makes” each item once we hear the name. i.e., “almond cookies” = tube of pilsbury sugar cookie dough with some almond extract and almonds mixed in. and we were right!!! agggggggggggg
J, I totally agree with you. Why not at least take a super fudgie brownie mix & amp that up w/ espresso powder, chips, and yes, homemade whipped cream?only an idea But then again that would be “[not] so simple, & [not]so semi-homemade,” right? Hate her too…
I don’t understand how that woman even got her own show, she can’t cook! She needs to corral those fake breast of hers too, WTF.
That is so funny! I have it on in the background and noticed that too. I am not a fan of her show because I come from the “Martha” school of cooking! And I hate packaged food. But she is no way as annoying as Rachel Ray, please claw my eyes out of I hear EVOO one more time…..
i just watched her chefography show on the food network. to be honest, i have a new appreciation for her, what she has been through as a child and how hard she worked through her life. i agree that she can be annoying at times, but if you don’t like her food or her…why do you watch her?
I know what you mean, I find her incredibly annoying! It’s ridiculous that she has her own show! Besides the gross food recipes…what about the COCKTAILS? She’ll take what looks like Kool-aid, mix in some gin and/or vodka, and she’ll garnish with a sprig of mint. VOILA! “a semi-homemade cocktail!” Also, her clothes often look like they are sewn from the tablecloths used on her “tablescapes.”
I think you’re being too kind. It’s a given that her “recipes” are disgusting but let’s talk about her voice. It makes me want to crawl out of my skin. It just has a creepy tone. Kind of robotic.
THAT IS BAD!!! I made cornbread from scratch last week. It tasted great out of the oven, but the next day, YUK! I took a bite and had to spit it out!
Well said, Jennifer! First of all: a corn muffin that has been “store bought” with cool whip? Nasty. And then…
ITA! She is so gross! I always love how she says her Grandmother taught her these things…not something I would be proud of! This is why I am a Martha devotee!
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU? HOW DID SHE EVER GET A TV SHOW ON THE FOOD NETWORK – WHICH IS STILL ON? SHE’S NO CHEF/COOK! She’s very hard to watch — the food honestly looks so unappetizing and gross – who would even TRY her “recipes”?
Hi Jennifer,
I don’t know why you hate her so much. I think she used to be on the radio in Los Angeles and I pictured her an old lady, just listen to her voice. I couldn’t believe that she was as cute as she is, she sure doesn’t have a nice voice. I do find her entertaining, just to watch her ideas not her food. I am a party planner and she does have a few nice ideas.
I wonder why she serves food like that? Sounds pretty gross. I finally saw her show on tv, I had never heard of her before your on air discussion (rant!) She does seem like a real drag!
Jennifer, you are right. That is freakin’crap. Where was she raised, a trailer park?? (No offsense to others who WERE actually raised in trailer parks) SO WHITE TRASH!!
It’s a wonder that Sandra Lee’s chest has not melted from cooking over a hot stove. And, who color-coordinates one’s food to what one is wearing? Truly awful!!!
Jennifer, you are so right! OMG, first who does those tablescapes (is that a word? should it be hyphenated?!) Each Saturday morning I watch and giggle. You know there’s going to be Cool Whip in something, that she and her kitchen will match and wait, there’s the cute tablescape that once she has put everything on it, there’s no room for people. OH, the cocktails………how in the hellllll does she drink that stuff?! I particularly like the ones with coconut milk and vanilla vodka….BAARF. Anyway, we watch, we laugh, we learn what not to do! Love the show!
If you really want a laugh, check out her section in the Television Without Pity forums (under how-to reality shows).
My favorite thing ever was her Kwaanza cake: a store bought Angel Food cake, frosted with God knows what, some canned apple pie filling shoved down the hole in the middle and garnished with, among other things — wati for it–CORN NUTS!!!
Don’t worry, Jenny… I totally agree with your assessment of Sandra Lee (hey that rhymes!). I think all of that peroxide she’s been applying to her HAIR, has somehow seeped into her BRAIN!
i have watched her on food tv..she only doctors up food no real cooking..iguess its for people on the go with no time..but then again why not just oder take out.if ya not gunna do it dont do it at all.i am old school like martha.i like to know what is in the food.not already made stuff…..
I have to admit that her boobs mesmerize me as much as the bad set decor!
Somebody needs to get Sandra Lee a new bra!!! Somebody her age should not have nipples hanging down to her elbows. And whoever dresses her should be shot! I caught her one day and her ultra-tight t-shirt had two round targets placed strategically on her breasts…right where her nipples SHOULD be. It obviously was a plea for free breast lift!!! The other thing that is worse than Sandra Lee putting together crap is Giada doing legitimate news stories on the Today Show! Whoever came up with that idea is a moron!
My husband and I call her show our dose of ‘porn’. Seriously…she is annoying but definitely good for a laugh.
*If her show is for people who don’t have time to actually cook, how do they have the time to watch her? Cocktails with everything, even breakfast! Not your typical cocktails, I would go broke stocking as much alcohol she uses for every meal. I also think she is drunk during her show. Thanks for beginning the rant we all so agree with! Rachael Ray is a whole different blog subject…Can you say psycho!
Last I heard, she was dating Andrew Cuomo. I just don’t see that match.
JonathonsMom- You’re so right! I never thought of it that way. Instead of watching her TV show, go make a REAL meal… I now know why Jonathon loves you so much. You effing rawk! Why can’t you be MY mom? Where do I apply? 🙂
Awww…I like “Aunt Sandy”. And Kudos for getting a cooking show where she really doesn’t cook anything. She makes a good living. As for her voice…it’s what God gave her, can’t change that. I don’t agree with her matchy-matchy sets and I’m not a drinker but she’s ok in my book. My favorite is Paula, she reminds me of my mother.
I loathe Sandra Lee’s show… I am so glad that you think her ideas blow, because they do! I am sometimes tempted to watch another episode just to see if the color coordination of her wardrobe/kitchen had been toned down or if her ideas have become less trashy but alas, she is unrelenting in her extra sugary cocktails, shitty themes, annoying store bought compilations of tasteless food.

You forgot to mention that the corn muffin breakfast was made by a KID!!!! Her newphew was making it for his mom (Sandra’s sister). Would you prefer the 6 year old to make it from scratch?I bet your kids only know how to BUY things when they want to do something nice for you.
BiPolar Christy: Thanks lady!
Gotta love a blog that you can chat on! 🙂
OMG!!! I just caught that episode and thought the same exact thing. Then today she was making some puff pastry thing with canned pears. Yuk!!!
Seeing her yesterday on Food Network brought her to a new “low” in my eyes…not only did it look like she was wearing PAJAMAS on the show…but there were tiny globes all over the pants (and one large one on her shirt) with little peas dancing on top with the phrase underneath: “peas on earth”…?!
OMG! I watched her (because I was so curious) and couldn’t take more than 2 minutes. oyyyyyyyyyy!
HEY KRISTINA! Thanks for the tip on the “Television Without Pity” website. It is hysterical. Everybody should check it out for their favorite show(s). The comments are great about Sandra Lee…the “slap it together and throw it on a plate” tramp that she is!
Yeah, I can’t stand Sandra Lee or Rachel Ray. I kind of have a violent reaction to both of them.
Hey, she is no Martha but be nice. She obviously has an audience somewhere??? Rachel on the other hand gives me nausea, definitely worse!!
You nailed it. She’s painful to watch and the “food” is disgusting. I was so happy to hear the bile bubble out of Jennifer if ref. to Ms. Lee. . .so good!
Awww- The Kwanza cake was a classic!! I think the reason people who don’t like her still watch is because we’re just so amazed at the stuff she comes up with. It’s more like a comedy.
Jennifer – your blogs are getting very weak – only one post this week! You encourage everyone to visit your website – but nothing ever changes!
Some of Ina Garten’s fans call her “Semi Ho,” which, of course, my husband has changed to “Half a Ho.” He loves her.
Why aren’t you doing any posting lately? I hope your health is O.K. Perhaps you are just losing interest!
I’ve watched a few of her shows and couldn’t believe anyone actually gave her a TV show on cooking. I hadn’t heard the one about the corn muffin sandwich, but it doesn’t surprise me….
Sandra Lee is ugly and she has sucky food. You’d die if you ate that poison. Does she even taste it? I doubt it. Crapola.
practice what you preach fat ass
Hate her too. Rock on Sistah. 🙂
Hey Jennifer — just got back from Spring Break in NYC. Went to the Martha Stewart show on Tuesday and saw the first of the four videos that will begin airing April 10th. Don’t be too hard on youself when you watch it. I thoroughly enjoyed the behind the scenes approach. Only wish you had been in the audience to announce it. The show had Dan Rather on, the launch of the website and a guy who populates (sp?) plants…BORING!!! And there were NO giveaways…nada, zilch, not even a frickin’ MS magazine!
Jennifer if you don’t like her then change the channel, practice what you preach, you are sooooo annoying. I can’t stand listening to you I only listen for Alexis point of view. You and Sandra lee are in a class by yourself. You dress just as horrible and you have no class.
Re: Pics of you w/depends.
Just a little tip – you really should not leave the house without makeup, at least a little bit. You don’t have the glowing complexion that the young girls have.
omg, yes i totally agree! that woman is pathetic. opening a tub of cool wip and cutting a piece of bread in half and throwing them together on a plate is not cooking. the shit she makes just looks nasty. even her table decorations are ridiculous and over the top. plus she drinks waaayy to much. i mean every show has a cocktail…even if its a kid bday party or whatever. SAD and GROSS. luv ya jenn!!
She is the world’s worst “cook” She doesnt even deserve the title. She makes the most revolting things ever! What is going on with people who actually like this show! GROSS!!!!!
