Paula Deen – Brown Baggin

Food Network On Demand

After that solid week of watching, I mean, doing the exercises on that nifty VOD Sports and Fitness Channel, I've decided to take a bit of a break for the upcoming Hallmark holiday known as Valentine's Day. This isn't because me and the BF are sickening sweet. It's because we like food. And every holiday has a potential delicious element to it.

This year I've been toying with the idea of making a very special meal at home. Now, I know this isn't such an original idea but it is for us because one of us is a foodie (me) and the other one likes food (he). There is no room for Top Chef here. I can't even bust out an Anthony Bourdain. No. This has to be simple. The closest I can get to gourmet is Paula Deen. Or MAYBE Tyler Florence. A simple delicious meal with less than three syllables per ingredient.

Sunny Anderson - Cooking for Real

Food Network On Demand

Due to the fact that there is very little on VOD related to cooking, I had to go back to Sunny and give her another shot. I feel like she and I started off wrong with the baby vomit rice and I already know everyone else so well. So Sunny's got some finger food recipes that could go over sexy depending on the mood for Valentine's Day. And how can you go wrong with empanadas and stuffed potato puffs? That's what we call romantic in this house.

Already I can tell Sunny is excited about this meal, no repeatsey nerves like before. And she just shouted out Bayridge Brooklyn! 718 in the house! Okay, empanadas. Onions, chillies, garlic, etc. Sunny sounds like she's a frugal. She wants to feed an army on a dollar and she likes street food because it's cheap. I'm with you, Sunny! All I have is a dollar and a Valentine meal dream!
