Must Sees on the Food Network Today

by Joi on August 10, 2006

While getting the Food Network ticker loaded up for the day on Buttermilk Press – a few shows and/or recipes stood out in my food-obsessed little mind :

On Paula Deen’s first show (1:00 est), she’ll be making Jalapeno Cracklin’ Corn Bread. That sounds like it’d be amazing with some well-seasoned white beans (or Pinto or Great Northern)….or a pot of chili, for that matter.

Immediately after that episode, Giada De Laurentiis comes on with “Everyday Italian.” One of the foods she’s set to make is Warm Chocolate Cakes with Berries. Like the Jalapeno Cracklin’ Corn Bread, it made an appointment with my kitchen.

See the scroller on Buttermilk Press for the specifics, but both of Emeril’s shows (Essense and Live) will be big winners today, as will Semi-Homemade, and tonight’s Good Eats (Tortillas).

The ones I”m most looking forward to are Paula’s second show of the day and Rachael Ray’s 6:30 pm est. 30 Minute Meals. Paula’s episode is titled “Paula Goes International” and will feature Cuban Sandwiches, Homemade Potato Chips, Alice Jo’s Spaghetti Sauce, Taco Salad, and Mexican Wedding Cookies. The Cuban sandwiches should be the ones featured in her most recent cookbook.

Rachael’s show is titled “Rustlin’ Up Vittles” and it has me camped out by my tv set. She’ll make Cowboy Hash and Eggs, Texas Toast and Salsa. The salsa is a Yellow Tomato Salsa and sounds pretty amazing. Can’t wait for that one.

If you’re like my husband and like Bobby Flay, you’ll want to see his “Throwdown” show tonight – featuring Jerk Chicken. They’ll also be cooking up Jamaican Jerk Chicken
Caribbean Stuffed Red Snapper, Spicy West Indies Fish, Honey-Grilled Vegetables, Calypso Corn, Rice Salad
Grilled Garlic Bread, Tanzanian Baked Bananas, Strawberry-Lemonade Punch, Grilled Jerk Chicken with Mango Cilantro Salsa, and Grilled Jerk Rubbed Chicken with Habanero-Mint Glaze.

Habanero-Mint Glaze. Does that sound dangerous, or what?!?!

It’s a good day. I have the Food Network on in our home office – since I work at home, no one can tell me it’s a “no no,” well they could – it just flat wouldn’t do them any good. Get between me and Rachael, Paula, Giada, Emeril and Alton? They’d be a fool. That’s right up there with jerking on Superman’s cape and spitting into the wind…

Have an amazingly delicious day,
Joi
