The black banana looked so un-appetizing and the glop formed by the chocolate chunks looked like something that should be floating in a toilet. Good thing for that recipe that most of the time they're eaten around a campfire, in the dark, where you can't see what you're eating! My comment during that show was the amount she fed those children.

I know it's for show, but I think any Mom and Dad in real life would have been screaming, 'NO!,' to having their small kids served a giant ice cream float and one of those banana boats. Holy sugar overload, Batman. I saw the last half of today's episode this morning at the gym. Hold the presses!
Even I can make cheeseburgers, French fries, and milkshakes at home! Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, why make a meal like that at home? That's what diners and mom & pop restaurants are for - let them do the deep frying. And it was such an odd meal for a date night with her current husband.
She reminisces about the meal and old dates she had at the drive in, but how does that relate to her current husband who wasn't there with her? She's so.odd. I'll also be honest that some of the recipe choices she makes on this show disturb me. She's clearly not in great physical condition, and while I don't expect anyone to live on celery sticks and grilled chicken, she is pretty much on the Paula Deen end of the spectrum is terms of thumbing her nose at anything that resembles good nutrition. I'll never make this kind of meal at home, because I'm at an age where I have to watch my fat, sodium, and cholesterol pretty much all the time. Even when I didn't have to watch it, this kind of meal would be a once in a blue moon event.
I do think she's a far better cook than many of the personalities on FN and tune in because she does, from time to time, make some interesting things. But again.she's so odd. Edited June 8, 2014 by anneofcleves. I only saw bits and pieces of that date night/drive-in movie show, so someone please tell me what Nancy did when her hubby was sharing a piece of his meal, or drink, with her???? It looked like she breathed in his face??? Then she let loose with her belly laugh.
As I said, I was only half watching and what I saw looked so odd to me. I can't stand her delivery. She speaks as though she was talking to a class of pre-schoolers. On another note, her stylist (if she even has one) does her no favors! My goodness, everything about her, from jewelry to her skin-tight tunics are awful, just awful. Saw the anniversary of her farmhouse show, just bits and pieces, and found the little story of how she purchased the farmhouse very interesting. Funny that they were just married, she puts a bid in on the farmhouse (without telling new hubby) she tells him what she did, he calls and take the offer off the table (without telling new wifey) she finds out and the rest is history.
Wish she would've finished telling the story.I'm thinking hubby got a dressing down and never dared do that again. Just thought it odd that neither one of them thought it important enough to share the big ticket purchase of the farmhouse and all that went along with it with each other. Halo 3 pc game download free full version tpb. Wow home sick from work today and caught this show.
I had seen it once months ago when it first came on, and it hasn't gotten any better. She looks like she cooks nice homestyle food, but please concentrate on showing me how to cook the food, why all the little cutesy phrases ('twinkle twinkle little sprinkle'???) She is so corny. And I HATE WITH A PASSION all that annoying music they play in the background.
They do it on Pioneer Woman too. I think the only show where I can stand that is Ina's show because the music is so distinctive and just somehow fits with her show. These shows just make me appreciate more and more what Martha Stewart used to do on her old shows.
I know many don't like her, but she tried to teach something and the show was so calm and relaxing. Edited July 14, 2014 by Joan van Snark. Just when you think this woman could not be more disgusting, she manages to top herself. Eats a peach and wipes her freaking face on the orchard owner's shirt. She's a straight-up, no-class pig. Her ass has to be the biggest thing on TV, and is not a good advertisement for the fatty foods she makes.
Every time they show her hoisting that behind on some motorized vehicle, all I can think is 'Lady, you need to try walking once in awhile.' I am far from thin, but man, she is just plain unhealthy-looking. 'I'm going to take these peaches. And feed it. Ami aptio change logo utility. To those kids. The way she bellowed that out, it sounded like she was going to cram it down their throats.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN????? WHY THE HELL IS SHE ON TV???? I lasted about two minutes and changed channels. Season two debuted today and unfortunately, not much has changed.
I hate to sound mean, but Nancy looks like she's gained quite a bit of weight. I guess that's a testament to her cooking. Also, the halting. Aunt Jenny, the habitual gambler from Las Vegas, returned today. Now we are all know that 'ol Jenny used to stir up food fights at the childhood dinner table. One thing I did notice was that any references to alcohol were toned way down.
Nancy made a point to note that the shrub didn't contain any alcohol. I think that she referred to the beer she used to make the batter for the fish as 'GiGi Juice,' but she stopped before she predictably ventured on to taking a big swig out of the bottle. It was interesting to learn about shrub and how it's made. I'd never heard of it. I'd like to try some. There was a lot of emphasis on 'fresh' today.
The food looked pretty good, but I had just finished watching Rachel Khoo and a vendor from a London food truck make fish and chips and then Lorraine Pascal and a London food truck vendor make fish sandwiches and chips. So, I wasn't too interested in Nancy's.
Regarding the ginger trifle in Mason jars. (I hate that trend.) It was just layers of whipped cream and gingersnaps.
I thought trifle was supposed to have some kind of fruit component in it like macerated fruit or jam. I guess that was the purpose of the shrub, as it contained pears??? Season two debuted today and unfortunately, not much has changed. I hate to sound mean, but Nancy looks like she's gained quite a bit of weight. I guess that's a testament to her cooking. Also, the halting. Omg, could not agree more!
Her delivery was worse than ever! What is her director thinking?
As far as her 'look,' she appeared to me to have just rolled out of bed. The only thing missing was a cigarette hanging out of her mouth and a can of beer in one of her meat-hook hands. I can't even bear to watch her taste anything.I feel so bad saying it.but her face, the way she eats.too much for me, but yet I can't turn away.
I also thought something was way different with the filming of season two, looked like something different with the lighting, camera angles.the whole thing was just a big sloppy mess, just like her! I don't understand why this mess of a show was renewed. Were the ratings really good enough to watch what I consider to be an unattractive loud person make pedestrian and less than healthy food to renew it? Or does Gordon Elliott, her exec producer, have enough clout with FN that he can keep it going?
After all, he lost his cash cow on FN, Paula Deen. Gordon sure doesn't need the work - he's got a real hit with 'The Chew' on ABC. Ree Drummond I understand, she has a built in fan base with her blog, but this woman?
I just don't get it. The food didn't look too bad. I was interested in the homemade vanilla wafers and a refresher on making homemade pudding. It didn't look like enough food to feed all of those people.
Otherwise, that show was a hot mess. David probably packed up and took off for the week. I caught at the beginning of the show that 'Camp GiGi' used to last for an ENTIRE MONTH - until David put his foot down.
Can you imagine? A bunch of kids underfoot for even a very short period of time isn't my idea of a good time to begin with. I wonder how much they had to bribe the older kids and drag them all away from their phones, tablets, TV, etc., to play those corny old-fashioned games? What a trainwreck. This show is so weird. I think that's why I keep watching it. Nancy seems to be pretty knowledgeable about food and cooking - that's pretty clear.
I think she is probably more credible than someone like Ree. I like that she doesn't have any cream-of-something soup type recipes and makes just about everything herself. On yesterday's show she made the brownies from scratch, and said that sure, it's easy to open up a box of mix, but not that much harder to make something yourself, and it will be much better.
That's true - and you can avoid extra additives and preservatives. I get that it was brownies, but still, I agreed with her point.
She's got some interesting asides, like the field trip to see the two women who make the shrub. No one will argue that she's making health-conscious meals, but she is at least starting with real ingredients, so there is some knowledge and background there. And, she will pour something out of a bowl and then take the time to use a rubber scraper to get everything, which I appreciate. My biggest cooking show pet peeve is when the host pours something out of a bowl and then just sets it aside, without scraping it out. It's so wasteful.
I've seen Giada, Ree, Paula, and even Ina do this. Drives me nuts. I've never seen Nancy do that (although that doesn't mean she never has). Anne Burrell was another one who would take the time to get everything, saying, 'We paid for all of this, let's make sure we use it!' Plus, if you don't scrape out the bowl, you're leaving half your ingredients behind, so then your recipe is going to be out of whack.
Then on the other hand, is her terrible forced delivery that is way too boisterous. The silly 'stories' set up as the reason for her to be cooking. The manufactured reasons for her to have to leave and go somewhere - even though the side trip often turns out to be kind of interesting. Like last week (I think?) she had to leave and pretend that she was so concerned that David wouldn't hear the timer to take something out of the oven. Maybe if they would just let her cook she wouldn't seem so uncomfortable in front of the camera. And I think grisgris said that in the season premiere she looked like she'd gained quite a bit of weight - I thought so too, but after seeing more episodes, I don't think so. I think she was just wearing a horribly unflattering outfit that made her look much bigger than she really is.
I agree that she is far more credible than Ree and seems to know her stuff, but as with most of the FN lineup she doesn't make much of anything that I would want to cook. She's really into the heavy, down home cooking that we don't love. And her rapture over the prime rib sandwiches was kind of icky. I kept waiting for her to pick the damned hunk of meat up and start gnawing on it.
She can be pretty gross, though not Paula Deen gross. I hope she doesn't go there. Edited September 29, 2014 by anneofcleves. And her rapture over the prime rib sandwiches was kind of icky. I kept waiting for her to pick the damned hunk of meat up and start gnawing on it.
She can be pretty gross, though not Paula Deen gross. I hope she doesn't go there. Yeah, it was a bit over the top. I love me some prime rib, and I might be feeling about it the same way Nancy did, but chances are I wouldn't verbalize it. And certainly not in front of a camera. About 8 years ago, my husband's business partner gave us a 20 lb hunk of prime rib for Christmas.
It was a pricey cut of meat. This was before I really knew anything about cooking, so it sat in the freezer for awhile. Plus, at the time, it was just my husband and me, so I really didn't know what the hell to do with it. Anyway, I finally found a recipe that sounded pretty straightforward so I decided to give it a try. I told my husband I was going to take the prime rib to a specialty meat shop and have a butcher there cut it into a few smaller pieces. My husband said, 'Screw that. They'll probably charge you at least $20.
He grabbed the prime rib, went out into the garage, and used his saws-all to cut it into about 4 smaller pieces. So there we were, with me holding this huge hunk of meat, and my husband carving it into smaller pieces.
I started laughing and told him I hoped none of the neighbors were watching (the garage door was open) because I felt like I was in an episode of The Sopranos. Back to Nancy though, I would really like to give her a makeover. I'm no tiny delicate flower and I totally get that your first instinct is to wear loose, baggy clothes. But often they are very unflattering and just look terrible. So either she is insisting on wearing that stuff, or she's got a terrible stylist who is accustomed to size 0's and has no idea how to dress a larger woman. Those brownies looked really good, and I loved the idea of the mint frosting.
Maybe I'll get a wild hair and try them. They replayed her 'Date Night' show where she made curly fries, double decker burgers ('he just loves my buns!' ), and chocolate milk shakes. I'm not a skinny little thing and don't get off on disparaging overweight people, but that's about the last meal that couple needs.
And them blowing their onion breath at one another is just not cute at all. I think when I first watched this episode I was all over the ridiculousness of someone making curly fries, burgers, and milkshakes at home. Who makes this meal at home unless they live in the middle of nowhere without a greasy spoon within driving distance? But on replay it's even worse because she's gross and not funny at all. At least Paula Deen (some will smack me) had a good sense of humor underneath all the raunchiness. Edited October 5, 2014 by anneofcleves.
Dear God, the next time someone insists that weight issues aren't somewhat inheritable, they need to watch the latest episode with Nancy and her even shorter and fatter daughter-yes, I realize that Nancy tends to cook high-fat, high sugar foods, but there is no denying the odd shape of her body which her unfortunate daughter has inherited. Then to have Nancy pronouncing on healthy fresh food when she looks so unhealthy herself? I say this as someone who is overweight, but recently lost 30+lbs through exercise mostly-I eat what I want just less of it. Her delivery on camera remains odd, I can't quite figure out how she got a show on HGTV (I won't even make a 'who did she blow' joke on the issue.). Just finished half-listening to the 'canning' episode and she was off the chart with her sing-songy delivery! I can't imagine the director or anyone on the set, for that matter, not telling her to just talk normally. Then they're all tasting the soup in her 'fly' soup bowls and she exclaims to the camera how hard the soup was to make since she had to peel the butternut squash-it was just so weird.
Bajovane, Heartland Table has been renewed!!!! Probably the best show on the FN as far as I'm concerned. Edited October 18, 2014 by finnzup. How this show got renewed, I have no idea. Nancy's way of speech is just grating. She acts as though her audience is comprised of four-year olds.
Back when TWOP was still around Food Networks ratings were regularly posted and season one of this crap had HUGE ratings. I mean it was pulling in well over a million per episode and for shows on weekend mornings numbers like that would make the network sit up and go 'yep we got a hit here'.
Ditto Ree who also brings in huge ratings. That should tell you something about the prime FN demo. I dont know what the ratings are currently like though. Anyway dont know if this was a rerun but I caught the episode today where she cooked for the bingo night and made ham sliders, strawberry tart and clam chowder. The strawberry tart looked like a recipe I've seen a million times before but the chowder actually looked good. By the amount of food she made I thought she would be feeding maybe 10-15 at the most people then they showed the bingo hall packed with people and she told someone they could take seconds.
I was like huh? Unless she stashed away more batches in her car.?
Hi I’m Nancy Fuller! The “Fuller” Farmer! I was born on a dairy farm in the glorious Hudson Valley. Many many years ago! But as all those many years accumulated and diversity integrated throughout.I always came back to the land.
I was raised on garden vegetables and grass-fed beef. Farming has always been in my blood and bone. It’s a respect to the food, farmers, and the land where it is grown.
Farm to table wasn’t a movement back then, it was just how we lived. I try my best to cultivate this mentality into the lives of my family. They are learning!:-) As long as my city grandchildren are exposed to the farm life that they will never leadI’m happy. They know where a potato comes from (Not just the grocery store!). My family was also the catalyst for my 25 year catering career. Who wouldn’t know how to cater after cooking breakfast lunch and dinner for a family of 8 three times a day 365 days a year?! My life is full because my family is my life.
The camaraderie that exists between us is so special! We all congregate twice a year for sure and interminably throughout. And we cook and eat together.

As a lifelong resident of Columbia County, N.Y., — 66 years and counting — Nancy Fuller knows the territory and, thanks to an outgoing nature, lots and lots of people in the territory. And they know Ms. Fuller in ever-increasing numbers since she became the host of the Food Network show now in its fifth season.
Her debut cookbook, also called “Farmhouse Rules” (Grand Central Life & Style), came out last month. Eleven years ago, a friend was researching her family genealogy and wanted to visit a property that was for sale in Hudson, N.Y.; it had once, perhaps, been the home of a relative.
Could the well-connected Ms. Of course she could. “I knew the Realtor, so I called and told him that a friend wanted to see the house and take a few pictures and that I’d be coming along, too, but I wasn’t looking to buy and would he mind showing it to me,” said Ms. Fuller, who owns a food distribution company in the area with her fourth husband, David Ginsberg. She came, she saw, she said, “Oh, my gosh.” Such was Ms. Fuller’s uncharacteristically understated reaction to a late-17th-century Dutch stone house attached to a 1766 Georgian brick dwelling. “It was so pristine.
It hadn’t been bastardized,” she said. “I’m an antiquer, and this house was the epitome of an antique.” There were also a couple of vintage outbuildings and 150 rolling acres — just the thing for a large, close-knit family with deep roots in agriculture. Fuller, the product of 12 generations of farmers, raised six children and is the grandmother of 13. “The house picked me,” she added firmly. “I didn’t pick it.” She made an offer, then went home to Mr. Ginsberg with the glad tidings.
He did not take kindly to her unilateral decision-making. She did not take kindly to his disapproval. He pointed out that she already owned a farm, the 400-acre spread she’d inherited from her parents in nearby Copake. She pointed out that this was a different farm and a different matter entirely. Less than loving words were exchanged. “I was on my way to a girls’ weekend and I told David, ‘If you don’t want the damn house, you call the damn Realtor and you renege on the damn offer,’ recalled Ms.
Fuller, who came home after the outing stunned to learn that her husband had done exactly that. “I called the Realtor and said, ‘Let me tell you something right now. I’m a big woman and you know, it ain’t over until the fat lady sings.’ I made another offer, they accepted it, and the rest is history. And now David loves it.”.

Loves it, yes, but Mr. Ginsberg, 68, likes his history modern and his ceilings high. “He kept hitting his head on the doorjambs, and I said, ‘Boy, you’re not too smart. Learn how to duck,’ ” Ms. “And he said, ‘I’m not living here, dammit. I’m only living where I can have a bathroom and a closet.’ ” That’s why, in 2006, the couple tore down the decrepit carriage shed that was adjacent to this old house.
Then, keeping to the same footprint, they built a soaring, light-filled post-and-beam replacement that Ms. Fuller calls “David’s section.” It contains the open kitchen with the terrifically deep travertine sink that viewers see on “Farmhouse Rules,” a living room, a master bedroom, two bathrooms, a screened porch and, on the lower level, a television room. It has worked out just fine for the couple, who have been married for 18 years.
Ginsberg now has the conveniences he craved and a place to smoke his cigars in peace. Fuller was able to retain the period purity of the older part of the house (it’s mostly used for dinner parties and sleepovers) by stowing all the mechanicals in the reconstituted carriage shed. Critically, even though she spends the bulk of her time in a 21st-century space, Ms. Fuller is surrounded by what she holds most dear, furnishings and treasures that date back a century or two.
And so much the better if they have the patina of ancestral ownership: the cottage cupboard that once belonged to a cousin Ms. Fuller affectionately called Grammy Carl; the bell her paternal grandmother, a schoolteacher, rang to bring the class to order; the pitcher with the painting of a cow that sat on her mother’s kitchen table for years. “I’m passionate about things that are aged and used and loved,” Ms. “I have to be an old soul because I have an affinity for old things.” The list of old things is long and includes milk stools, crocks and utensils like a dough scraper, a sugar nipper, a meat hook, a sifter and a trivet that resembles a trampoline without the fabric.
A piece of stone that was carved into a bowl holds salt. “It’s extremely important to me because of its age and uniqueness,” Ms. A mallet that once called Masons’ meetings to order has been repurposed as a garlic masher. “It’s what I use on the show all the time,” said Ms. Fuller, a onetime caterer whose career in television was pure happenstance. An acquaintance who was working on a video asked to use the Fuller-Ginsberg house and fields for part of the shoot.
Nancy Fuller Farmhouse Rules Cookbook
“While the crew was there, the producer asked if I’d ever done TV, because he thought I was ‘a natural,’ ” said Ms. Fuller, who was emboldened to commission a video that was successfully shopped to the Food Network. Things that don’t have the mileage necessary to please Ms.
Fuller can be helped along. To ensure that her new kitchen cabinets wouldn’t look new, she had them built and installed by a couple of teenagers. “They weren’t craftsmen, and that’s what I wanted,” she said. “They made them just the way you would on a farm. The doors don’t meet exactly.” A pair of antique English pantries and a pair of antique wing chairs sit in the living room beside a homely wash bench that was well used by Ms.
Fuller’s paternal great-grandmother. Somehow it all works. “This part is my favorite,” Ms. Fuller said, leading the way around the corner to the stone house with its enormous fireplace and a low-beamed ceiling.
“Sometimes I’ll just bring a book in here and sit and read.” The carriage shed that was built nine years ago shares a stone wall with the part of the house that was built more than three centuries ago. Fuller savors the contrast and the connection. “The wall is rustic, and that’s what I am — rustic and real and strong and stubborn,” she said. “I like the fact that the wall brings the houses together,” she added. “It’s evolution. It’s another phase in the life of this fabulous property.'
