Sandra Lee Is Everywhere, No One Is Safe

It’s a sad day when you can’t even purchase a basic item at the grocery store without having a celebrity cook crammed down your throat. Rachael Ray’s hawking Ritz. Guy Fieri’s shilling pork. And look who now has her very own Semi-Homemade recipe on Domino sugar:
I especially like how they referred to her as an “acclaimed cookbook author” instead of as an “acclaimed cook.” It’s an appropriate title, since simply adding a package of cream cheese to some store bought cookie dough hardly transforms it into a homemade recipe. But then again, what else would we expect from Sandra Lee?
Bottom line: I’d like to at least be able to purchase some sugar without being exposed to a recipe from the culinary Anti-Christ. Or maybe that’s too much to ask?

THIS WEEK: Ina Garten's "beginner" recipes, new Food Network shows starting in September, thumbing through an issue of Semi-Homemade magazine, Rachael Ray's daytime talk show, Aarti's "accountability group", Claire Robinson on Big Daddy's House, another sensual reading of Alex Guarnaschelli's tweets, sink or swim voicemail, and much more.
This continued bombardment of FN “stars” invading commercial products is like a bad remake of “The Body Snatchers”. You’re right, Jillian, it’s more and more difficult to buy anything without some FN name being plastered all over it. I went to the Domino Sugar site and this is what they said about Aunt(hic)(eerrrrrp)Sandy:
“Popular home and food expert Sandra Lee, host of the Emmy-nominated television series Semi-Homemade Cooking With Sandra Lee on Food Network, has revolutionized the way people think about cooking and entertaining.”
Yeah, Emmy nominated for making her face look lifelike. And I don’t know about anybody else, but “revolutionized”???
Revolutionized as in people joining together to condemn and pushing for change at FN. Perhaps galvanized is a better choice.
Woohoo! let’s add some vanilla extract to some premade sugar cookie dough.
Since you’re creaming all that together, why not just make that stuff from scratch? Really, how much time does the pre-made stuff give you? An extra 5 minutes to shoot tequila slammers? Pointless!
I agree with Vanilla. Making cookie dough takes like zero effort (on my part at least). What a whore.
in typical Sandy style, it calls for vanilla “or other flavoring.”
I’m going to be adding Tabasco to my Snickerdoodles!
Or maybe garlic salt!
How about adding sugar to sugar cookie dough? Why not top it with some more sugar in case it’s not sweet enough?
I’m surprised it didn’t come with a “recommended alcoholic beverage” russipe.
Looking forward to that Sandra Lee line of schnapps…
I saw that a while ago, why did they put that recipe on the bag. I would actually like to see a scratch recipe on the bag without her name. I hate to see her in the KFC grilled chicken commercial.
I just love how Aunt Sandy has to add an extra CUP of sugar to an already sugar-heavy processed cookie dough. Way to go, Sandy.
Refrigerated Cookie Dough?
Good lord I despise this walking gimmick that is Sandy Lee.
Thought it was odd she adds sugar to the pre-made stuff.
Agree about the use what ever flavor you feel like. Snicker doodles are known for their flavor. Apparently Sandy thinks outside the box.
For that matter didn’t know they contained cream cheese either.
Perhaps she really is a revolutionary.
Actually, she thinks inside the box… or inside the carton… or inside the bottle. Whatever she happens to have lying around.
I’m surprised there aren’t Snicker’s bars in the recipe. After all, it is SNICKERdoodles (I think we can all agree she ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer…)
OMG! Just thought if Pauler had this recipe, it would have to be renamed SnickerDOODOOles…now who wants to be invited to Paulers???
And yet another reason (besides the cost savings) to buy the store brand of sugar.
This recipe seems to save neither time (old schtick) nor money (new schtick).
I think what pisses me off more is that these aren’t even snickerdoodles. If someone raised me on these as “snickerdoodles” and then I had a real snickerdoodle later in life, I’d be really pissed off my snickerdoodle childhood was wasted on this.
She is out of control, and like sentient robots, must be stopped.
These cookies do not even sound appetizing. Why is it so hard for people to make things from scratch? It’s not like snickerdoodles are that labor intensive.
They are when you’re as drunk as Sandy.
“Bake and enjoy!”
Bake, yes. Enjoy, no.
Why the hell would anyone want to do this? The whole point behind buying premade cookie dough is you open the pack, put it on a cookie sheet and bake. No messy mixing required. If you’re going to get out a bowl, a mixer and ingredients, just make it from scratch. Tastes better without the weird chemicals and preservatives anyway. It pains me to think someone out there is making this recipe and thinking it’s saving them oodles of time.
It’s also painful to know they are raking in piles of cash for this fodder.
Add sugar to refrigerated sugar cookie dough, yeah I just threw up a little in my mouth. That’s it, I’m making real snickerdoodles this weekend.
I especially like how they referred to her as an “acclaimed cookbook author” instead of as an “acclaimed cook.”
I guess they thought they couldn’t get away with calling her an acclaimed drunken botox user who can’t cook worth a damn.
Right now ex hubbie Bruce Karatz trial starts for (allegedly wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more.) manipulating stock prices secretly at KB Home for over 10 years on March 9th 2010. Karatz defense tried to get Sandra Lee “missing in action” but the Honorable Judge Otis Wright will allow Sandies testi-mony about her ex Bruce in court. Paybacks a bitch (pre-nup-4-mony). Just Google “KB Home Sucks” to see the homes Bruce was erecting while married to SL. BTW sugar is the number #1 Cancer causing agent so no wonder SL’s the spokesperson. ~~A KB Home Sucks.
From Karatz to Cuomo, she sure can pick ‘em. And vice versa.
