Are you a cablevision customer? Do you love Food Network? Would you greatly miss Alton, Paula, Rachael, Ace and Guy if they suddenly stopped coming into your living room?
If you’ve answered yes, yes, and you bet I would – it’s time to act before it’s too late.
Food Network may be dropped from your TV lineup. That would mean no more Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, no more Paula Deen, no more Bobby Flay, no Alton Brown, no Rachael Ray and no more Ace or his cakes. Good Lord! I can’t even imagine.
What can you do? Demand that Cablevision keep Food Network on the air by sending an eCard or calling 866-695-BEST. Due to the high volume of calls you may receive a busy signal, just keep trying. You can also send an eCard.
Spread the word on Twitter, Facebook, to your e-mail buddies, and around your neighborhood.
If you rely on Cablevision for your television viewing (at this moment I’m EXTREMELY thankful that I do not), rally the troops and save this wonderful channel. How ridiculous for cablevision to even THINK about ditching The Food Network. I’ll bet a lot of the other ridiculously stupid channels aren’t even being considered.
Speak up and speak out!

On today’s Guy’s Big Bite, he made some ridiculously delicious looking Veggie Burgers (pictured below). The recipe included seasoned bread crumbs, jalapeño, garlic, black beans, red onion, bell pepper, chickpeas, white beans, rolled oats, and herbs/spices like sage, oregano, cumin, chili powder, parsley, chili flakes, and celery salt.

Served on toasted buns with tomato, lettuce, onion, and white cheddar (or cheese of choice) – these would be some kind of delicious. He also made a Roasted Red Pepper Hummus that I’ll be taking for a test drive before the week’s out.
Click the links above to check the recipes out for yourself. These recipes would be ideal for tailgating. A lot of people are trying to eat healthier these days and they’d appreciate delicious, yet healthy, food.

Okay, they got me. Last night’s episode of The Next Food Network Star nearly made my jaw fall out of place. My daughter, Brittany, and I thought we knew how it was going to go down… then, BAM – they went a totally different way. But, you know what, they did the absolute, 100 percent right thing.
I just didn’t know they’d be gutsy enough to do it.
These three finalists are so freakin’ neck and neck - I’m, honestly, glad I don’t have to pick the winner. Like the judges said, each has about the same amount of strengths and each has about the same amount of weaknesses. I could see each one in their own series. I’d actually LOVE to see it come to that.
Guy Fieri was such an amazing discovery – I keep forgetting that he got his start on The Next Food Network Star. I’m not sure they’ll ever find another character like him – his personality and likability are off the charts AND his knowledge of (and appreciation for) food is all you’d want it to be.
Foot, he’s so good, he has two shows!
Speaking of Food Network shows, I’m excited to see Ellie Krieger in the afternoon lineup today. Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger can be seen today right before Emeril Live. Hopefully, she’ll make herself comfortable and become a regular in the afternoon lineup. She has become a favorite of mine – and I normally SO go for the larger than life, outrageous personalities like Alton, Guy, Rachael, Paula, and (of course) Duff! She’s set to make one of my favorite things in the world today, Chicken Parmesan, so I’ll be there watching every move she makes. She’s also making something called Zucchini Ribbon Pasta on the show and I’m loving the sound of that.
If you’ve never watched her shows (or videos on FoodTV.com) or read her cookbooks, you’re missing out. She’s amazing. She’s low key and, like NIgella and Giada, very relaxing to watch. She makes eating healthy a delicious thing to do – and that takes a lot of talent….. and sneakiness!
Did you catch the back to back Ace of Cakes’ last night? Great stuff. The book cake blew what was left of our minds (after the judges’ decision on TNFNS, there wasn’t much left to blow). These people are so freakin’ talented – and unbelievably entertaining. Brittany and I could watch Ace of Cakes all day, all night. We spewed our drinks when Duff drove off while wearing the priceless pink elephant costume. Not a vision I’ll soon forget.
Btw, there’s a great Merchandise section on Charm City Cakes.com – click HERE to see the tees, hats, hoodies, etc.
