RACHAEL RAY

I have to tell you.  My husband watched the show with Valerie Bertinelli and Rachael making Inside-Out Turkey Bacon Cheeseburgers with Oven Baked O Rings .  He loved the recipe so much, he went out and purchased everything he needed and made them for dinner last night.  We loved them!

I just needed to share this story with you.

My husband and I both had the day off work and anytime I am home during the week I make

it a point to watch your show.  Well my husband is a plain eater.  Doesn’t care for alot of things

mixed together or sauces.  Well that morning on your show you were making the Texas Chili

Cheese Fries and when my husband saw it he made the comment to me that it might be ok

to try.  Well I went onto your website and printed the recipe out and last night I fixed this

dish for dinner.  Well he had two plates full and loved it——-just loved it.  He wanted to know

when we could have them again for dinner. 

Rachael, just keep up the good work.  I love your show and thanks for the great recipes.

You are a superstar in my book.

Hi Rachael

I watch your show and was watching an episode when you were doing the 5 meals…..you probably already know this- in England we love our roasts and to get our potatos really crunchy, we par boil them for 10 minutes in salted water then, when drained bash them around the saucepan till they go fluffy (dont bash so they break), then when roasting they go lovely and scrunchy.

Keep up the good work!

God Bless

Hey Guys,

Here is a little tip for quickly cleaning vegetables from the store.  Pop a
few drain holes in the bag and wash them right in the plastic bags.  The
water will quickly finish draining and then you can cook them or store them
back in the refrigerator.

Thanks,

I made the cake you highlighted in the “Piece of Cake” article beginning on page 91 of the May 2008 issue of Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine. I entered it in our church cake bake off for Memorial Day weekend and it won 1st place. I did the decorations of almonds, raspberries and blueberries. Also, since I don’t have two of the same sized pans, I used spring form pans of different sizes. I added almond extract to the batter and crushed raspberries and put them in between the two layers. Here is a picture, although it is definitely not anywhere near as beautiful as the one on page 96 of the magazine.

My daughter, Haley, also won first place in the pie bake off, so that was a great blessing. My husband is in the USMC and we move around quite a bit. One of the first things we do when we move, is to find a church home and just dive in. We usually visit about 15 churches in that process, so it takes a bit. This was our last church picnic at our church, Sanctuary Bible Church of Carmel Valley, Carmel Valley, Ca, since we move once again in September.

Thanks for making this one an even more memorable picnic. I was sure to tell everyone that it was a Rachel Ray recipe and how much I love your magazines!

Thanks,

Thought your viewers would be interested in this and you can test it because
it works amazingly.

Take a large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil and place it shiny side down
on the grill. Turn the grill on high close the lid and let it rip for 30
minutes. Let the grill cool and in the end the grill will be clean and
just like a self cleaning oven white dust.

-Joy Villeneuve

I’ve been using aluminum foil for more years than I care to remember. Great stuff, but sometimes it can be a pain. You know, like when you are in the middle of doing something and you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box. Then you have to put the roll back in the box and start over. The darn roll always comes out at the wrong time.

Yesterday I went to throw out an empty Reynold’s foil box and for some reason I turned it and looked at the end of the box. And written on the end it said, “Press here to lock end”. Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place. How long has this little locking tab been there? I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I then looked at a box of Saran Wrap and it had one too!

I can’t count the number of times the Saran Wrap roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up. I hope I’m not the only person that didn’t know this!

Dear Rachael,

I just saw one of your older shows on the food channel and was so excited, that I had to try it.

I’m NOT that much of a cook, but you did a pork tenderloin and veggies.. LOOK!!!! It was sooooo yummy! I even went and bought this white platter to show off the colors.

Thx, you are the best!!

I have never tried to contact you before, but you are just so fun, and you deserve the new, bigger show you have today.

Take care and keep those feet on the ground my friend.

Gail Gibson.

P.S., you had baby asparagus in your mix, but the hubby doesn’t do veggies, mush less that, so, I must say, he said he was glad I didn’t do the asparagus, but he ate, and LOVED, every veggie you see here. That is tooooooooo cool!

Dear Rachael,

Thank you for great “Traditional Supper Stuffing with Cider Gravy“,”Smoky Greens with Cranberries“, and

“Mashed Sweet-n-Bitter Potatoes” recipes that were on your show recently (Food Network).

My wife is recuperating from breast cancer surgery and saw that show. She told me that the food sounded very good to her. I printed out the recipes and made them for her today (Mother’s Day). Everything turned out excellent, even though the 30 minute meal actually took me 90 minutes! My wife loved the meal, and I enjoyed preparing it. I will, no doubt, be using more of your recipes!

Thanks so much for your show!

Sincerely,
