The Resume

Raised in Washington
Resides in Los Angeles, California
Host of 'Semi-Homemade Cooking' on the Food Network
Author of 'Semi-Homemade Cooking (2002)'

Why she might be annoying:

She is a shameless Martha Stewart wannabe.
In fact, many call her 'the next Martha.'
Like Martha, she has no discernable sense of humor whatsoever.
Unlike her, she makes her recipes out of canned goods, box mixes, instant mashed potatoes, etc., instead of from scratch.
One 'recipe' suggests buying a frozen pie, heating it, and grating a little cinnamon over the top (truly ingenious!).
Food snobs hate her for catering to stupid and lazy cooks.
Her detractors call her 'Semi-Ho' and 'SLop.'
One critic called her 'proof of the devil's existence on earth.'

Why she might not be annoying:

She is younger and more attractive than Martha (and has bigger breasts).
She says her goal is to make recipes that are 'doable' for people who don't know much about cooking.
Her cookbook was a bestseller, so she must be doing something right.
She volunteers for a lot of charities.
