Rachel Ray

Do not fret, I have many installments of You Vote ready in the wings. I just have been posting about other things instead. But when there is a lull...you can bet there will be a You Vote. And the next subject will be: Fashion.

Rachel Ray.

Someone...please please please help me. I have tried 3-4 recipes from this woman, all of which take more than 30 minutes to prepare...and taste mediocre to awful. I keep trying her recipes because...really...She's made an empire of herself. You can't make an empire of yourself without being able to live up to your recipes/concept! So I keep trying her recipes because I KNOW I am bound to find a good one!

So please help my search if you can. I know I've got some readers who are Rachel Ray fans out there! Post a link to your favorite Rachel Ray recipe in my comments section and help me out!

Otherwise, I am going to have to relegate her magazine to the TRASH bin. Not even recycle. Straight up TRASH.

Sorry to offend any fans out there! I really am trying to like her because I like her idea of the 30 minute meal and her combinations do sound good in the recipe! They just don't work for me when I actually try to do it! It's GOT to be me...not her!

THANKS!
Phuong and family

I'm with you, Phuong! I gave up on her long ago when several of her meals I tried took at least an hour. And my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook seems to yield far more delicious meals. Sorry, I'm no help, but I don't get it either!!

that is the recipe for possibly the best meal kelli makes. she doesn't follow it exactly, so you will have to talk to her for alterations but it is fantastic and i don't remember it taking her more than 30 minutes.

Ok, so my mother-in-law got me a subscription for the RR magazine. Not too great. They definitely take a long time and usually have a crazy long list of ingredients. I've tried multiple times and they aren't very good. My favorite cook books to use are Betty Crocker, Better Homes and Gardens, and Sandra Lee.

I've tried a few recipes and I'm with ya: blah. Just plain Jane, hamburger helper has more flavor.
