Valerie's Home Cooking

I personally love watching home cooks on TV. They are relatable, and the recipes are very beginner friendly and easy to follow. I love Valerie's energy- she is so fun to watch and my 2 year old even loves watching her with me. I find myself smiling at her quirkiness throughout the episode. I've made plenty of her recipes, as well. I love that she's a home cook, but incorporates some more "gourmet" type dishes into her cooking instead of whipping up a casserole for the 567th time (pioneer woman I am looking at you). The show feels light-hearted, less scripted than most, and I love how Valerie thinks out of the box for her recipes. Family friendly, but not your basic pasta or meatloaf yet again. A+ for me!
