Magnolia Table with Joanna Gaines

As much as I like Chip and Jo I am tired of seeing reruns. Cooking shows are on the food channel and that's a good place for them. I thought Magnolia would improve this channel but I like DIY better.

Wow so boring. Apparently I ashen to write even more about how horrible this show is...

DIH would have been a better name, magnolia doesn't say "do it herself" .

The viewership amazes me but it's new, and the Jan 5, 2022 opening Fixer Upper had 3M viewers, Where Barnwood Builders first show had 3.6M viewers. Thankfully it is still being scheduled, but not for long probably because its not a cooking or house wrecking show, it is reality! A cooking or hit a wall with your body show can be good TV but never really used in the real world. So reality? No! It is not!

The change of names was a shock but I dont think the shock is over yet, soon what we loved about DIY will be gone. But we will be better cooks and worse house rehab people.

I watch on Discovery+, so I pay for the channel. I watch a lot of the shows on this channel. I find her relaxing and fun to watch. My only issue is that many, not all, of the recipes have higher cost ingredients that so many folks can't fit into the budget these days. Not a cooking show for the family budget. Example is the guyere cheese she uses a lot. I constantly have to Google substitute products and guyere cheese doesn't have a good one. But I watch it more for relaxing entertainment anyway.

This is what real cooking in the kitchen looks like!! Who hasn't messed up hollandaise sauce? Or dropped a lemon on the floor? She's all about comfort foods and using real ingredients! Can't go wrong!
