Friday Favorites: Five Favorite Recipes for Roasted Winter Squash
27 comments:
- Lydia (The Perfect Pantry) said...
How can I choose a favorite? They all look absolutely delicious.

- Katie said...
Your roasted butternut squash with lemon, thyme, and parmesan is still my all time favorite squash recipe. I always make it for fall and winter potlucks and everyone raves about it. About half of the time I forget the lemon juice and I almost always use dried thyme, but it's still fantastic.
- November 5, 2010 at 7:48 PM
- Kalyn said...
Lydia, thanks! And I like them all so I can't offer any suggestions.
Katie, I love hearing that! I think the parmesan really sets off the roasted flavor of the squash.
- November 5, 2010 at 8:15 PM
- Susan @ SGCC said...
All excellent choices! Winter squash is also one of my favorite things. I used your Moroccan spice rub on some roasted rainbow carrots earlier today and it was fantastic! Thanks!
- November 5, 2010 at 9:17 PM
- Kalyn said...
Thanks Susan. I love that mix on carrots too.

- Bonnie said...
Stupid question for those of you who are ecpert cooks, but Kalyn , do you have any great tips for peeling squash? I am fine with zucchini, but what about the others? And if you've already addressed this topic in the past I apologize; just point me in the right direction!
- November 5, 2010 at 10:38 PM
- Joanne said...
What a haven of deliciousness! I'm always looking for new squash ideas and I cook with it constantly!
- November 6, 2010 at 3:51 AM
- Jeanette said...
I've never seen a Jarrahdale squash, it looks so interesting. Is it sweet like kabocha or butternut squash? Roasted winter squash with the moroccan spices sounds like a great combintation.
- November 6, 2010 at 6:50 AM
- Kalyn said...
Bonnie there is a link in this post for something I wrote about How to Peel and Cut Up a Butternut Squash. I think some of the other squashes are a bit easier.
Joanne, thanks. I love it too!
- November 6, 2010 at 8:21 AM
- Kalyn said...
Jeannette, sorry it seemed like I was ignoring you. Truly I wasn't, just hadn't gotten down to your comment yet when I replied above. The Jarrahdale squash is similar in flavor to butternut from what I can remember. I only had it that one time, and alas forgot to look for the seeds last spring, so I'll have to put it on my garden list for this next year!
- November 6, 2010 at 8:39 AM
For the last month or so, Costco stores here in Alberta have been carrying 2 pound plastic boxes of cubed fresh Butternut squash in their cold veg room. Fantastic! JD
- November 6, 2010 at 9:19 AM
- Kalyn said...
JD, I have used that pre-peeled and cubed butternut squash and agree that it's a great convenience food. When I have the time though I great prefer the freshly peeled whole squash. The pre-cubed squash is a little dried out in comparison and much more expensive, but if it gets people to cook butternut squash I'm all for it!
- November 6, 2010 at 9:26 AM
- Simona said...
Great selection of recipes! My first attempt at peeling a butternut squash was not exactly successful, but then I got a vegetable peeler like the one shown in your post and things got much better. I peeled a pumpkin the other day with it and it was also a breeze. Have a great weekend!
- November 6, 2010 at 9:39 AM
- Kalyn said...
Simona, so glad my method worked out for you!
- November 6, 2010 at 9:48 AM
- Elizabeth Jones said...
These recipes look amazing..great work on the pictures.
- November 6, 2010 at 10:27 AM
- Brian and Dara said...
Any ideas for Acorn squash? I'm stuck in the butter/brown sugar rut with it. Don't get me wrong, I could eat it that way ALL the time, just curious if there are any other ideas!
- November 6, 2010 at 12:29 PM
- Kalyn said...
Dara, all these recipes can be used with any type of winter squash, including acorn.
- November 6, 2010 at 12:41 PM
- Chere Michelle said...
Squash! I LOVE THE FALL for this reason :-) Yummy. This post pic looks amazing so I can't wait to read more. Thanks!
- November 6, 2010 at 11:00 PM
- myfrenchkitchen said...
Oh, great recipes, all of them...one a week...what could be better? There is always something delicious to be found here at your kitchen, Kalyn...
- November 7, 2010 at 3:49 AM
- Kalyn said...
Chere Michelle and Ronelle, thank you! So glad you're feeling inspired by the roasted squash recipes.
- November 7, 2010 at 7:44 AM
- Sandi @the WhistleStop Cafe said...
My favorite part of this time of year is the roasted vegetables... like fresh tomatoes in the summer.
I will be coming here when I'm searching for a new recipe.
Another friday's favorite for sure :-)
- November 7, 2010 at 9:03 AM
- Kalyn said...
Thanks Sandi; I can tell that winter squash has a lot of fans!
- November 7, 2010 at 9:12 AM
- Rhonda D. said...
I love winter squash of all types, and your Moroccan Spice sounds delish! It is on tonight's menu,I'm really looking forward to it!
- November 7, 2010 at 12:38 PM
hi this looks delicious - is it Phase One friendly?
- November 8, 2010 at 11:31 AM
- Kalyn said...
Winter squash isn't allowed for phase one. If you click the link to the recipe it always tells what phase it's suitable for.
- November 8, 2010 at 11:47 AM
Oh my goodness these look amazing! Are they actual pictures of your results? I'm going to have to try a couple of these. Just in time for Thanksgiving too. Thanks.
- November 9, 2010 at 9:55 AM
- Kalyn said...
Yes, these are all my photos.

well for you guys with ripcords, qad , etc drop aways, it appears that these rests project rearward from the riser into the "brace height "/ cable slide area . Do you still have room between the launcher prongs and nock point for 5" fletching when it is in the upright and ready to shoot position ? there is 7.2" of braceheight available.
It wouldnt be very good to have feathers rubbing out of the launcher prongs upon draw from the ready to shoot (upright) position. The revolution rest apparently wont work with them either, due to the rear part of the containment arm holding the arrow in the flectched portion of the arrow.
if you got a tape measure maybe a simple measurement from the string to the upright prongs, may help me detemine it.

Cap a glorious day of Mediterranean sightseeing at a relaxing at a romantic seaside café or dancing your heart out at a nightspot. Theatre is deeply rooted in the Mediterranean – think Greek tragedy and Italian opera. Add the cultural influences left by centuries of exploring, marauding, colonizing and trading missions and you know that theatre around the Mediterranean is fantastic.
Nightlife in Spain is guaranteed to go-go-go until after the sun comes up. Start the evening with tapas or dinner and a few drinks in a music bar… or else you could go to a musical or the theatre. Then adjourn to a bar or disco to carry on partying until you want your pillow more than the dance floor. And to top it off –even though the sun's already up– what could be better than a delicious cup of hot chocolate with "churros" (hot fritters)? If theater is your passion, you're going to be busy in Spain. Mérida's beautifully conserved Roman theatre and Barcelona's Gran Teatro del Liceu are two you shouldn't miss, and you'll love the National Theater Museum – for daytime fun, that is.
Glamorous nightlife is part of the legend of Monaco. An exhilarating evening is guaranteed at the casinos, whether you're in the Casino, the Café de Paris, the Sun Casino and the Salle des Palmiers. You can party at clubs and dance until dawn in the chic, fantastic, unique atmosphere of the French Riviera. Imagine galas at the Monte-Carlo Sporting Club, international variety shows at the Cuban bar, lounge bars, techno music, champagne under the sparkling Mediterranean stars – and possibly, sitting next to a few of them!
Italy hosts an unending array of unique and fascinating events. The Venice Biennial showcases design and contemporary art, theatre and ballet performances. For classical music lovers, the cultural offer of Milan's La Scala or the Verona Arena is unequalled. For those who love a bit of nightlife in Venice there are many opportunities: let yourself go in one of the various discos or spend the night at the Casino of Venice, testing your luck at the green baize tables. The province of Catanzarois the destination for nightlife and water sports lovers: the Costa Smeralda of Sardinia, with its pearl, Porto Cervo, combines the history and culture of a region that has old traditions with a joyful and colorful nightlife.
Malta is a hub for the clubbing scene. Internationally renowned DJs appear for guest weekends throughout the year in a variety of venues, from large clubs to quieter bars. The main nightlife clubbing action is in Paceville, on the coast near St. Julians, where the clubs and bars are in abundance. Theatre has been a lively part of the Maltese cultural scene since the 17th century. A variety of local and international drama, dance and music troupes perform on the Islands, creating a very vibrant theatrical calendar of events. With the fantastic weather on the Islands, open-air venues are also very popular and make for spectacular stage sets.
Cyprus isn't just for sunbathing; all year round cultural performances with big name stars and sports events take place as alternative entertainment to Vitamin D absorption. Nightlife can be anything from slow, quiet dinners to party cruises where you dance to the lilt of the waves under a starry, starry sky – and no one complains about the sound level out on the water!
Can you even think of Greece without also thinking of theatre? Traveling in Greece gives you the splendid opportunity to see Greek plays and modern works performed in ancient amphitheatres that add another dimension to your evening out. The Psyrri area of Athens is a traditional neighborhood that has evolved into one of the most important centers of the town's nightlife, with scores of bars, tavernas, ouzeris, and clubs. Patras never sleeps. Follow its rhythm. Spend your morning admiring the city's beautifully restored neoclassical buildings. When you feel tired, enjoy a fine meal, and relax at a lounge café. Then, when night sets in, see the streets of the city transform into avenues of fun as Patras nightlife awakens.
Nightlife in Turkey is wild in Istanbul, where the music scene is incredibly varied and active. In popular towns along the Aegean coast the nights are never quiet. Bodrum is renowned for its exceptionally appealing nightlife, where the magical shimmer of floodlit Bodrum castle adds a certain charm to the atmosphere. Antalya's nightlife is especially vibrant during the summer around the excellent marina where discos, bars and pubs are very popular among both tourists and locals. Traditional Turkish theatre will intrigue you: attend a performance of puppetry, karagöz shadow play, or meddahlik which is the art of storytelling and mimicry. The curtain, stage, decoration and costumes are all found in a single person, and it is therefore a one-man show.
The Mediterranean Region defies description; so rich is it in dramatic history and bewitching scenery.
The North Sea region brings a body of water famous for fiercely beautiful coastal areas.
Tourism is flourishing in the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

You have helped your child make adjustments to medicines, diet, and certain lifestyle changes to manage inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) . But the greatest challenges he may have to contend with are the social and emotional challenges that come with having a chronic illness.
In particular, your child may be struggling with concerns about being "normal" and fitting in, embarrassment and shame over having IBD, worries about his health, frustration with the restrictions and limitations imposed upon him by the illness, and being rejected or teased by other children. How can you help your child cope?
Managing Worries
Your child may be worried about his symptoms, as well as the disease itself. The worst fears may be due to the fact that he does not understand or know enough about his illness. Reassure your child that he is not at fault for his condition. Some signs of difficulty you may see are:
- Sleeplessness.
- Poor eating habits.
- Sadness, frequent crying, loss of interest in activities may indicate signs of depression .
Your child understands a chronic disease must be managed through life, but remind them that IBD does not have to slow them down. Let them know they are not alone and they will live a normal life like other children. Here are some tips to set your child on the right track.
Building Self-esteem
When your child is feeling down or thinking too much about his disease or his restrictions, acknowledge his feelings. Help him to focus on his strengths, talents, and other assets. Although it is normal to feel upset or unsure about IBD, it should not overrule other thoughts or feelings. Activities that may help manage stressful times include:
- Regular exercise is a mood booster and helps refocus attention.
- Find a hobby that is enjoyable.
- Create a strong network of supportive people, like friends, teachers, family, or health care professionals.
Another good way for your child to forget his own troubles for a while is through helping others. Encourage him to help you cook a meal, plant a garden, or run errands for an person in need of assistance.
Helping With Feelings
Children with IBD experience a variety of emotions: anger, fear, sadness, resentment, and embarrassment, as well as joy and pride when they overcome the obstacles of their illness and reach goals. It is important for your child to know that he has a right to all of his feelings, and that feelings should not be labeled as good or bad.
One way you can help your child deal with his feelings is to listen to him and offer support. Try to get at the root of his emotions and see if the problem can be solved.
Encourage your child to talk about his feelings with you or your spouse, a sibling, friend, teacher, healthcare provider, counselor, or any other trusted and supportive person. Remind your child that there are ways for him to control the disease and controlling it can reduce the chances of flare ups.
At times, your child may be consumed by negative thoughts, like feeling as if he caused the illness. Reassure him that he is not at fault for his condition. You can help your child to accept IBD by getting him to focus on how he is going to handle it. As your child gets older, give them more responsibility about medications, diet, and managing the the day to day aspects of the disease.
If your child is a teenager and feels more comfortable about it, he may want to inform others in his life about what is going on. It is not unusual for other teens to start asking questions, and it may be easier to open up to friends. How much your teen wants to share is up to him.
Help him to stay positive and think about his goals and dreams. Here are some other things that may make your child feel better and help them empower themselves:
- Get enough rest, even between flare ups.
- Stick with the diet that works. Know what foods make him feel good and bad.
- Take medications as directed all the time.
- Keep seeing the doctor on a regular basis.
It is important for your child to feel there is control, but sometimes that may not be possible. Part of help is getting him the support he needs.
Meeting With School Staff
A positive experience at school increases your child's self-esteem, sense of accomplishment, and happiness. You can help increase his chances of having a positive experience at school by making ongoing contacts (preferably in person) with his principal, teachers, and other school staff so that they are aware of his special needs.
Specifically, school staff will need to be educated about your child's IBD, medicines, diet, emotional and physical stress, emergency situations, absences, and need for access to a private bathroom. Also, make the staff aware of the potential for your child to be alienated or harassed by other students because of his condition.
Fostering Communication
If you are at ease talking about IBD openly, your child will probably feel more comfortable sharing information about it, as well. This can help him to handle the fears and questions of his peers, who, once better informed, may not be so apt to tease or alienate him. However, your child should be encouraged to share knowledge and feelings about his illness only to the degree to which he feels comfortable.
You can help by having the doctor talk to your child about his symptoms, treatment, side effects of treatment, and what he can do to feel more in control of his IBD. Also, take advantage of information at your library and on the Internet, and contact national organizations that can provide resources and support.

Is designer Hilary on love it or list it incompetent
Is it just me or is Hilary the designer on Love It or List It incompetent. I mean every design she comes up with does not take into account any of the major costs or check if work can be done. She always ends up not doing what she plans and she wastes so much on high in blinds and such that could be used to complete the work she promises.
Personally - I think it's the "drama of the show" that makes you think that. I hate the extremes of both David & Hilary that this show portrays, but if they acted rationally, and anticipated (on camera) problems of renovating, or not following through on all the wants the homeowners request, or short-falls of David showing houses being out of the "preferred neighborhood" or "over budget", no one would watch!
But that's just my 2 cents!
To quote a very wise person....
"There is a cover for every pot & a homebuyer for every home!"
A better question might be, is there anyone on HGTV that is competent?
This show is so transparent, I can't imagine it could hold anyone's interest longer than two episodes.
I think she is competent but the people are either too picky or don't face reality.
She's a designer like I'm the queen of England.
Sal, I used to complain to my family that "the Queen would never have to put up with this s**t!" Finally one day my daughter informed me that I am NOT the Queen!
No its not just you. I thought maybe it was just me. She always comes up short. I think because she spends 60.000 on a kitchen , and living room. If I were a home owner and I gave her 60.000 she better deliver what she said she could. Not spend it all on one or 2 rooms
As a designer who has been working in the field for almost 30 years, I don't believe she really is a designer. I think perhaps the show is entirely scripted and Hillary is an actress.
Another show with bloated drama and incompetent "designers" brought to you by the folks at HGTV, aka "The We Don't Care What Viewers Want Group.
I really dislike this show. First it presents the home owners as unpleasant as the realtor and the designer. I don't know if she is a designer or not but bottom line this show presents designers as incompetent nincompoops. I watched an episode yesterday in which the cellar walls were oozing moisture and she did not notice nor did the HO's . . . give me a break!
I think every show has a house with some sort of problem that prevents the design from going forward.
Also if the original house's improvements add say 50K value to their house maybe bringing its value to say 650K why would any home buyer not buy the one that the HO's buy for say 675K when it has everything their home is still lacking?
Had it on last Sunday and my Mom stopped and watched it and said it looked staged to her. If that be the case aren't House Hunters, Property Brothers and maybe Income Property? Don't know. The latter two don't strike me as being fake but what do I know? LOL!
I can't even watch this show. I've tried a couple of times, but there is nothing about it to like. And it's all so contrived.
I've been around...well, all right, I might not have been around, but I've been....nearby.

Hey there Ms.Wildhack - haven'tseen you around for awhile. Are you going to watch DS this year?
tonite's episode (5/21/2012) had to be not real. There is no way someone would pass up a brand new 1800 sq ft house PLUS a finished basement with 3 1/2 bathrooms for 729,000 for a house with one bath and a galley kitchen "worth" 1,000,000. Especially considerating they were expecting a baby. That was a joke.
I have tried to watch this show so many times but I end up changing the channel. The realtor is obnoxious, the "designer" is worthless and most times the homeowners are unreasonable and unbearable.
The problems are always the same with Hilary running into some sort of snag which wasn't in the budget and invariably the homeowners can't get some room or the other they were hoping to get, which was going to be a tall order anyway given whatever restricted budget they had.
This show makes no sense to me. Why spend tens of thousands of dollars to "fix" a home and *still* not be able to make it exactly the way you want it when you can just take the money for the renovations and put it toward a downpayment, etc. for a new house that HAS what you want?
Every time I watch this I end up screaming at the tv and my husband asks me why it is I watch the show if it makes me angry every time I do. I quit This show.
Rant over and putting my soap box away...
Yes. School's out now, so I'll be watching & posting more. DS will definitely be on the viewing list. In fact, I was going to ask if people want to do a "live" thread every week, like we did last year for the last couple of episodes.
I've been around...well, all right, I might not have been around, but I've been....nearby.
-from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"
I agree! I understand that certain things like those that involve things happening under basement flooring or in the roof cannot always be anticipated, but I just watched an episode where she promised two additional bathrooms (big budget items) without consulting with a contractor about roofing easements or the piping requirements. This seems like a no-brainer and did not require the contractor to open up any walls or dig up the floors to determine the necessity. I like the concept of the show, but am getting very frustrated by that she is constantly promising the moon and then acts like it isn't her fault when things don't go as planned. HGTV please make her draw up her plans with a contractor and plumber to help lessen the BS that invariably comes up during each episode!
I'd about had enough of Hillary so decided to see if anyone else agreed. She's HORRIBLE. It seems she NEVER does her homework and ALWAYS ends up not giving the house owner half of what they want, then she blames the owner for not understanding. Its SHE that does not understand. SHE told them what they'd have! Sure she does some nice things but if she can't do something she should KNOW that before tearing things up!
I've read the posts on Love It or List It, but never commented. I agree that the show is awful. None of the people on the show are likable, and using the same format for every show is tedious. If the show is on - I watch another channel until the final reveal because I actually do like the final design. Although, I have another complaint to add to the list. When David gives the homeowners the final appraisal, they include the cost of the renovations in the increased value. That is ridiculous. Most of the changes add about $25,000 to the value, but the show always makes it sound like it is around $75,000 or more.
It is meant as entertainment people. It's just a show. Hillary has been a designer for many years and is very talented. Design is more than a few toss pillows and a new sofa. Most of these shows have MAJOR structural changes and renovations and as anyone that has been through this knows there are always surprises when it comes to a reno. There can be times that building a new structure can be more cost effective than tearing up floors, ripping out walls, wiring, plumbing, and adding new support beams and floors. I have been through this for many years now and have had very similar experiences that Hillary and her homeowners have experienced. Personally, I love this show and I love David. The competitive spirit between the two major players in this creative, entertaining show is fun to watch. HGTV has come a long way from when Carol Duval ( no offense Carol ) made crafts that were meant as design features. Power to the designers! Carry on Hillary, Candace, David, Genevieve, Vern, and Sarah! I love you all.
Dear Costconsciousdesigner, as a designer with 30 years experience, and as a contributor of this particular thread, I'm going to ignore the "design is more than a few toss pillows.." comment.
Hilary is either the worst designer imaginable or the entire show is some weird joke.I have said this before but for your benefit I will repeat myself. No experienced designer will ever attempt to address structural issues prior to bringing in an engineer and/or an architect. In states such as Florida, no permits are even issued without an architects signature. No one, professional or otherwise starts to tear apart a home without estimates, never mind contracts.
I won't even go into how argumentative and confrontational she can be.
The "unforseen" drama that takes place on this show is just that,drama. Which is fine, except that people watching this show may be folks who are considering hiring a professional.IMHO Hilary and LIOLI make designers look like uninformed dilettantes, instead of schooled and trained pros.
I understand this is television.But not everyone reads the fine print, so I would think that a station who took its name froma well known interior design magazine might show designers in a more positive light.
I don't think she is necessarily incompetent, I think she just doesn't put the homeowners needs above her design taste. The most recent I watched the homeowners gave her $60,000 and she spent most of it on a high end kitchen. While it was definitely nice, she needs to take in account more practical things like finishing a basement, etc. I would never hire her because she doesn't listen to what the homeowner wants. It's all about her.
Hilary? Is that you?! GeneGRIEVE? Come clean! LOL!!
I'm Good As Long As It's Feng Shui!
Hilary comes thru as incompetent because she always says she can do what the client needs. So why does she inspect the house and doesn't find the negatives before agreeing to do the work. And why does she force her ideas on the clients who are paying for the work and have to live there if they stay?
I believe Hillary is very competent, you can try to fulfill all the wishes of the client, but if something unforseen comes up and work cannot continue because of a law or something to important to not fix
lets put it this way the homeowners "sometimes" give such a low budget to Hillary that IMO I don't know how she possibly gets done what she does
and what she does looks fantastic
so lets be realistic, she does the best she can under the circumstanses and always informs the HomeO if she can reach them??
can't judge her cause I couldn't and wouldn't do what she does under unforseen cicumstances and low budgets
It is my understanding that Hilary is indeed a real, and successful designer.
It's the SHOW that's fake! You can't hold her responsible for the format of the show.
If you look at the RESULTS -- her rooms ARE fantastic. She does deliver the goods.....the rooms are gorgeous.
The show's entire premise is not realistic....
1) No one would put 40-thousand or more into a house for major upgrades if they're thinking of selling.
(99 percent of what the couples' want is floor plan changes or remodeling for THEIR use... not VITAL REPAIRS that are needed for occupancy. If those people wanted to move (uh, list it) they could do that WITHOUT putting all that money into the house. Clean, declutter, sell and move on)
The couples are on the show for the design help...and the fact that being on the show DOES stretch their remodeling dollars. Even though the couples don't get all their clearly exaggerated 'must haves,' when you think about it Hilary does get more done for them for their budget than if they just went and got their own contractor and designer.
2) The show tapes two endings, so whether the couples stay, go, list, or love it doesn't' matter...the entire farce is to get a show in the can.
3) The couples don't give her enough money to do what they want, EVEN IF THERE WERE NO UNEXPECTED CONSTRUCTION DIFFICULTIES.
While it's true, design money is spent on new furniture, drapes, accessories etc... You can't remodel a kitchen, two bath rooms, knock down walls, AND finish a basement for 40-thouand dollars -- even if you don't spend on those things! (The most I've ever seen her get is about $60,000, and that's not enough either fro all of what they want.)
THAT is the problem...but as I said it's also the format of the show. Obviously, even in real life, no designer or contractor knows what you'll be faced with -- until "you open up those walls." Starting out with not enough money in the first place doesn't help.
Now, once construction problems arise....rotten beams, sagging floors, frayed wiring, broken pipes, permit issues -- you can debate that NO money should be spent on furniture and blinds -- IF that means not getting a bathroom done.
(That's one of my issues...forget furniture..I'll sleep on my own old futon if you can get the bathroom done...but then again my old futon wouldn't make for a goo-goo-eyed reveal -- now would it.?
People underestimate how much of a WOW factor accessories and furniture add to the room. The new finished space is great...but add those accessories and new beds, desks and bedding -- and you've got a WOW. OMG room!)
It's the 'drama' of how the unexpected construction issues are presented that can be frustrating to viewers...(the couples arguing, the bad news from Hilary, etc.)
Once you watch knowing it's fake...you really can enjoy it just for the reveal and the house search walk-thrus. I don't' give all the fake crap a second thought anymore....and enjoy it much more.
That's what I recommend...watch for the set up (get the gist of the situation)...listen to the must-haves...look at the walk throughs on the house hunt....tune in for the reveal....and tune out for the rest of it.This message has been edited. Last edited by: clbselah,
1) uh...because it's A TV SHOW!...
2) because producers don't want to show that (I guess they'd think it's boring)
3) That little trip she and David take to see the house is not going to reveal any after-construction issues.
4) EVEN IN REAL LIFE contractors don't open your walls BEFORE they give you an estimate on a remodel.
They give you a bid and say...."OBVIOUSLY this is if we don't find any glitches after the walls are open and work starts." That's what a bid and specs are for.
They MIGHT say "IF you need a beam it will cost "x amount" extra, or "IF you need new drain pipes it will cost x dollars more." That's it.
The TV producers don't put that in the show.
That little trip she and David take to see the house is so the VIEWER can see the "before." I hope you know Hilary and David have both seen the house before that on camera stuff is shot.
Do you honestly believe the couples have no idea what work is really being done, and haven't OK'd it? That they really haven't signed off on the work, and gone over it with the show designer and producers? And exactly what will be done and what won't, given the budget?
And I hope you don't think all the houses they see are really for sale.....This message has been edited. Last edited by: clbselah,
you have accuratly covered all the bases, its refreshing to read a post as informative as yours are
I remember when I was sooo invested in HGTV, and it upset me too that things were faked -- even though presented as true.
It IS a shock to find out how fake the shows are. And takes a while to sink in.
Even though some of us have known for a while, the newbies still need to vent their frustration.
We vented and complained when WE found out...it's just their turn. I guess it will continue to happen as new people find out....it's new to them.
Heck, it's been YEARS and I STILL can't believe how HGTV insists on stick with Real Estate TV, and no gardening/landscaping....and why it won't air it's older classic shows overnight...or late night on weekends. Remember some of the posts that went on and on when HGTV started to move away from design? Wow. it was a FIRESTORM! But to no avail
So I can imagine how fresh the frustration of newbies is.
Oh well.
I rarely watch the show because the homeowners are so awful. The show on this afternoon is an excellent example. How can anyone be as horrible as Ilda Dinis? How can anyone allow themselves to be shown on national television (Canadian and then American) as such horrendous snots? Even if she is really such a horrendous snot - I hope she recognizes what a horrible and unlikeable person she is when she sees the end results.
I think if this show were reality - the real estate agent would have had a sit down with them and say - Here, take this business card and call this agent. He and I have butted heads a number of times and I think you deserve each other.
Designer Hillary's plan was nice for the basement. The little boy's room looked cluttered - more of a before than an after.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Charming,

I don't worry so much about fake anymore
every show on every channel is basically fake or contrived
I guess someone out there thinks we actually live in this fantasy world
I think they are the ones in the dream world
we all know better from here don't we ya all???
I would agree that it is very frustrating to see Hillary promise things in "every" episode and then not be able to do what she promises. I agree with some of the others that she needs to do more inspecting by bringing in the structural engineers, plumbing & electrical experts before making promises she later cannot fulfill. It would make it a much better show if she was able to give them the things they want or let them know in the beginning that she can't do it but that she can do other things and then they can decide better to either LOVE it, or List it. Also, agreed with an above statement, there are things such as underground, under concrete etc that cannot be for seen. Hillary either needs to do what is mentioned above or plan extra money in her budget for unforseen snags.
Competent, experienced architects and contractors plan for the unexpected. They build into a budget an allowance for wiring, plumbing, etc. problems that they have encountered in similar houses. They may not specify it as an allowance for surprises but put it in, in bits and pieces in the contract. While they may not be able to anticipate exactly what they will find when they open up a given wall in this particular house, they know that there will be problems of some type. There may occasionally be something that goes beyond that allowance in the budget. But no contractor or architect stays in the business long if she or he gets a reputation for consistently hitting the homeowner for additional charges that could reasonably have been foreseen.This message has been edited.

I agree 100% - the episode I mentioned with Ilda is a prime example. A professional contractor or even real estate agent experienced in the area would have known about the problem of directly tapping into the storm drains instead of the sewer in older homes and would have acted accordingly instead of - Woops - big surpirse!
But, but, but - that wouldnt' make for good television. Competent people doing the job they were paid to do is boring to tptb at HGTV.

People...you can't blame Hilary for the FORMAT OF THE SHOW.
You complaint needs to be about the SHOW, or the producers, not Hilary.
It makes no sense to complain about HER, it's the SHOW.
Why can't Hilary do this or that?...because.....that's not the format of the show!.
She IS a very successful designer, who is doing...say it, say it...a TV SHOW!!
Clearly when you see the reveal, you can see she knows what she's doing.
The results are fantastic.
Now maybe you can wonder, why, if she is a successful designer she would what to BE on a show that makes her look incompetent. THAT is a different question. Is being on the show costing her clients or business? I doubt it. She's been on the show too long. If it wasn't working for her, she'd have given up the show.
Being on TV is lucrative. A designer can get his/her own line of paints, furniture, and sign all kinds of deals.
I very highly doubt Hilary is some kind of dummy. If being on the show wasn't working for her -- and the producers -- she'd have been gone by now. The show has been on for YEARS.
I very much like what I see her accomplish on the shows. IF I had the money and need, I'd hire her. Why not? I know how to separate TV from the real world.This message has been edited. Last edited by: clbselah,
clbeslah nails it. I'm sure in person the homeowners are the whiney people the show format makes them out to be. Hilary is probably a very competent designer and David is a good real estate agent.
The show is about the conflict between all the parties. If you don't like the show or the hosts don't watch it. I have 150+ channels I don't need to suffer through a program with personalities I don't like.
HGTV has completely changed their focus and Gardening by the Yard, Decorating Cents, Design on a Dime, et al are not coming back. The Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, ER, St. Elsewhere, Hill Street Blues, LA Law, and Hogan's Heros aren't coming back to ABC, CBS and NBC either.

My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
i know I've posted these thoughts before, but based on the last few posts, I thought I'd reiterate.
Most of us know this is scripted television, so we can easily write off anything we find silly or disinformative.Unfortuneately based on many posts I've read on these boards, not everyone reading here gets this.
As a design professional it really bothers me that a go to station like HGTV would give the public such a dishonest view regarding professional design behaviour. That's all. Hilary's lack of pre planning,and especially her attitude are not helping the public look on designers favorably.
It is hard enough making a living, doing something so many people want for free. I don't need a T.V. program that makes professional interior designers look like nit wits with an attitude problem.
I actually don't mind Hilary's attitude. The couples asked for too much for the money in the first place, what to they want - miracles?
Maybe I also don't mind it because she's on TV and not my designer
But I certainty see your point, given that so many people think that's for real.
pleaseeee this is just a show,scripted or not,the network does as it pleases and we have the big choice to turn the channel or not?
I myself like Hilarys designs and imo she is put through h*** with the budget, the homeowners, and the problems along the way
nothings perfect or goes perfect?
so if she wants to redo my old mess,she is welcome anythime LOL
I've heard that medical doctors aren't like Gregory House either. Go figure. It is entertainment, we get it.

Wow Sparky you can bust my chops about my comments re: LIOLI, completely skipping over the part of my post where I acknowledge that it's a scripted show, then on the Ask The HGTV Community thread you inform yet another unaware poster that it's what? A scripted show.
I have a right to my opinion, esp. about my own profession, so leave the smarmy comments to threads about electricians.
HGTV has moved on, whining about it here won't change that. If I don't like a show I don't watch it. Hence I watch very little of HGTV anymore. Unlike some folks here, my life doesn't revolve around what's on TV.
You were far from the only person to say it is a scripted show.

Well lets just agree to disagree then. I'm either not making my point clear or you are only reading parts of my posts. Acknowledging a fact isn't a claim to be the only person aware of that fact.You were the one who had to remind yet another poster on a different thread that LIOLI was indeed scripted.
I guess since you are not a designer you don't understand that HGTV has a direct line to the professions livelihood. Potential clients are constantly referencing how quickly things seem to get done, and how inexpensive the labor is on these shows.
Even educated people hear what they want to hear , when their experience would normally tell them otherwise.My biggest issue is that the format could (operative word, could) leave a viewer with the idea that this is a real situation.
It is not overtly presented as purely entertainment, one has to read reviews of the programming to find out it is scripted. Even so, a station supposedly dedicated to design might not choose to portray its designers as short tempered and argumentative,if it had any respect for design as a profession.
Compared to Jonathan and Drew Scott (Property Brothers), Hilary is incompetent. She may have excellent taste in decor and how to use space well but she lacks implementation skills. Perhaps she'd do better to use a different GC for the construction or pair up with him on the estimating and design assumptions.
I don't watch the show any more because she's too annoying.
OMG. Let me suggest that people read at least a few posts before they add to the thread.
How many times must it be pointed out that what you see on a give show -- Property Brothers vs. Love It or List It -- is what the producers CHOOSE to present, based on the format of the show.
One can say that "based on how the shows are presented one might see how Hilary COULD BE SEEN as incompetent" by the uninformed viewer. But to say she IS, and compare the competency of Jonathan/Drew vs Hilary based on scripted TV shows is ridiculous.This message has been edited. Last edited by: clbselah,
you are so right CLB
but IMO don't think Hilary is incompetent, we don't see enough of the redo to base an opinion on what she is doing?
just the problems along the way
just the end, which I luv her end results
Again?? I would luv for her to redo my ole mess LOL
Excellent points. But note that bandomn is a first time poster, they took the time to register post up their complaint and probably will never come back again. Not the first person to register just to whine about LIOLI.
These boards used to get a lot of action. Now it isn't unusual for a sub-board to go for weeks without a new post. I registered years ago to offer advice not to give Charles a hard time about his complaining about LIOLI ;-)
HGTV doesn't really care about these boards, there are a number of features that don't work any more (the URL button, emoticons, etc). They don't moderate them, and they leave things up forever, such as Dream Home 2011 board which is nearly 2 years old now. You'd think they would have updated it for the Dream Home 2012 when it started back in January. Who knows maybe they'll update it for Dream Home 2013! Same with Urban Oasis 2011 and on the shows boards for shows I don't think they even air anymore. They killed the boards at foodnetwork.com it wouldn't surprise me if they do the same here. Given their lack of care and feeding I'm not sure they are doing the brand any good.
She is a horrible designer.
I really LOVE our community board here. IF, by chance, HGTV ever gets rid of them I'll miss you all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CliffordS Excellent! I enjoy the quality, style and price. It offers a different look from my North Face winter jacket. March 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Texas Very nice coat I got this on sale online, so it was a really good price. The coat itself is pretty good looking and fits nicely. It is however not as warm as I thought it would be, but is still a quality product. January 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CollegeStudent A stylish, functional and warm coat. Would definitely recommend An excellent value overall for such a trendy peacoat. I like the charcoal color as it stands out from most other peacoats out there. For my small build, it is a little on the large side but nothing excessive to detract from the look. Pockets are deep and comfortable. The buttons are sewn on a little loose for my coat but I plan on having that fixed shortly. In the grand scheme of things this was the only quality issue I encountered. As a result, I am very happy with my purchase! January 27, 2014

Sunday's GP d'Isbergues will serve as a final tune-up for many riders heading to the UCI world road championships, including Greg Van Avermaet of the BMC Racing Team.
Wind Can Be A Factor
Fifth at this race in 2009, Van Avermaet said a small group going to the finish would be the perfect scenario for him. "There are some little climbs in the last 50 kilometers and the wind is also an important factor," he said. "I want to know how my legs are recovered from the Vuelta a España and I want to perform well before the worlds." BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said the 204 km course – and the possibility of adverse weather – make it a tough race. "It's in an open area so crosswinds are always a concern, as well as the little climbs because you always need to be in front," Baldato said.
BMC Racing Team GP d'Isbergues Roster (Sept. 18):
Chad Beyer (USA), Alexander Kristoff (NOR), John Murphy (USA), Tim Roe (AUS), Michael Schär (SUI), Danilo Wyss (SUI), Greg Van Avermaet (BEL), Simon Zahner (SUI).
Sport Director:
Fabio Baldato (ITA)
Doctor: Dario Spinelli (ITA). Mechanics: Nick Vandecauter (BEL), Geert Rombauts (BEL). Soigneurs: Filip Sercu (BEL), Bernd Coutteau (BEL), Gunther Landrie (BEL).

Greg Van Avermaet was fifth and George Hincapie was sixth for the BMC Racing Team on the opening stage of the Amgen Tour of California Sunday.
Hincapie Avoids Crash
The 186.5 kilometer race that started and finished in Santa Rosa – where the BMC Racing Team is headquartered – was marred by a pile-up just outside the final three kilometers. Hincapie said he was nearly involved. "Michael Matthews from Rabobank hit my wheel and crashed right behind me," the three-time U.S. national road champion said. "In the sprint, I tried bringing Greg up with a kilometer to go and we were in good position. Then he was on a good wheel, so I just tried to get out of the way. I felt pretty good today, especially for my first race since Paris-Roubaix." Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale) took the win ahead of Heinrich Haussler (Garmin-Barracuda). Van Avermaet said he was pleased with his sixth top-five finish of the season. "I was suffering on the climbs, but I made it and we did our best in the sprint," he said. "I tried to follow Haussler to have a good result but to beat Sagan wasn't possible. He's in really good shape and looked good on the climbs, too."

Okay, I was reading on another forum how awesome the Nocturnal lighted nocks where and I sice I have never messed with my arrows before how do you take off the old nock? I am assuming it is glued in or something.
Depending on what arrow and nock you are using, but most just push on/pull off.

2012 Strother SX Rush 60# & 2011 Strother Infinity 70#

Yeah, I know I'm grumpy and opinionated.
Nice, it is good to hear that they may be just pressed on. Does anyone here use Nockturnal nocks? I looked on their website to check and see if the ID of the arrow makes a difference but they have no real information on the website on what nocks fit what arrows or min I.D. of the arrow to fit the nock. I have Easton Carbon Storms and was trying to find out if the one that fits most arrows will fit mine. I like to do a little research when I am paying that much for a nock.
I use nockturnal nocks... I LOVE THEM never had one fail, and have TONS of battery life. I installed mine on Carbon Express Mayhem arrows, and all I did was pull the old nock off, and press in the nockturnals... THAT'S IT! I like how they use a regular button to activate the light, rather than motion, or using the aluminum arrow as a conductor... I have never had one shut off hitting a target, or anything... they work awesome... and they are great for the price too. I can get them for $15 locally for 2... which is 25% cheaper than Lumenoks....

The nockturnal nocks are awesome. I just bought some the other day. Easy prep, just pull your old nock and push in the nockturnal. There is a little hole on one side of the nock that use to turn them off. All you need to turn them of is one of your other arrow heads. Great product!
Martin Magnum Cougar III
Arrow Shooting, Deer Destroyer
Don't they automatically come on when you shoot them or do you have to do it manually? I thought the switch was just to turn them off?
Another thing to keep in mind is that you have to make sure they fit on your arrows. I have Beman arrows and they are the older ones from a few years ago. When they made the nocturnals they were made to fit the newer Bemans as (S) nocks. I had to buy the Gold Tip (GT) size to fit my Bemans. They are very difficult to get off without breaking them once you have them on. Make sure you line the nock up right esp if you have a containment rest. For a fall away would not matter with no fletching contact to the rest. The only downfall I hear is you cannot replace the batteries. Once they go out thats it. I heard the batteries last a long time though.
used them last year cuz they were on sale, pretty cheap compared. kinda a pain when you accidently set it off and you gotta dig for something to turn it off(happened more than once, maybe even more than five times) - (spend lots of time in trees) blood and fat really messes with trigger causing failure for me, but reliable.
New arrows this year don;t know which route i will take
2011 Firecat 400, sword twilight hunter, apa twister, lots of arrows
ive thought about trying lighted nocks. just keep changing my mind when i see the price. it would definately make sense for me to get some with all the hunting i do at night. seems like a no brainer. but the price thing...
'14 ChillR 28.5"/74# Extreme Recon sight,Schaffer Opposition rest,LS modular stab, Beman ICS Hunter 340
I had a $15 gift card to Sportsmans guide so I purchased a set of size S Nockturnal nocks. I figure it should help with losing arrows and maybe even night time tracking if the arrow doesn't pass thorugh. It may be worth the $24 Hawg.

NC teen upset picture with son cut from yearbook
TRINITY (AP) — A Randolph County teen says school officials pulled a picture of her and her son from the high school yearbook after telling her it promoted teen pregnancy.
Kaitlin Tiller, 17, posed with her son, Leelin, for the Wheatmore High School yearbook photo last summer after the school told seniors to include a prop with their senior picture that represents an achievement or something that represents them.
Tiller says the picture promotes responsibility and love. She chose not to submit an alternate photo.
Tiller says since the birth of her son last year, she graduated early, started college in January and is working more than 30 hours a week while being a teen mom.
School officials would not talk about why the photo was pulled from the yearbook.

Someone's in the kitchen with Sarah: Sara Campbell
SALISBURY — When we pulled up to Sara Campbell's house in Summerfield, a neighborhood off of N.C. 150, I wasn't sure what to expect.
Coming up
Coming upI'm stopping by China Grove resident Karen McCorkle's kitchen to master another dish. Find out what we make in next week's Food section.
Inside was a 62-year-old woman with a wicked sense of humor and more energy than the Energizer Bunny.
Her kitchen was simple yet welcoming, with hand-sewn curtains hanging above a window where you could look out to see birds congregating at a feeder in the front yard.
When I issued a plea last week asking Rowan County residents to invite me to their kitchen to teach this hampered chef how to cook, I received far more responses than expected.
Sara sent the first one.
"Greetings and salutations, just finished your article and would like to extend an invitation to share a recipe and meal," she wrote in an email. "People have asked me if I am the Sarah Campbell who writes for the Salisbury Post and I tell them 'No ... I spell my name without the H.'"
It's exciting to share my first installment of "Someone's in the Kitchen with Sarah" with another Sara Campbell.
I'm still sifting through responses to my column. I've heard from Catawba College student Jeremy Garner, who cooks with his friends almost every night, and Rowan County District Court Judge Beth Dixon, a mother of four who likes to explore new foods by cooking dishes from other countries.
"As huge soccer fans, on USA game days we try to cook the cuisine of whatever country the US National Soccer Team — men or women — is playing," Dixon wrote in an email.
I'll be visiting their kitchens soon, but right now I should get back to Sara.
Country cooking was her specialty until about a year ago, when she made a drastic change. First she ditched sugar using the Sugar Buster diet, then she said goodbye to flour.
"I turned 60 and my body literally started to rebel against me," she said. "I've got migraines and arthritis and as you get older that stuff starts staring you in the face.
"I knew I was going to have to change."
Sara grew up eating Southern cuisine like fried chicken and barbecue.
"Yum, it was kind of like Paula Deen cooking to tell you the truth," she said. "It was rich, full of cheeses and creams and butter and flours, all of that."
Changing her diet wasn't easy.
"It's been a gradual thing, it hasn't been anything that happened overnight," she said. "It's been really hard, but we like what we're eating now. Wonderful things are happening."
These days, Sara cooks using rich olive oils and a variety of spices.
"I've always felt like herbs and spices were a gift from the first chapters of the Bible," she said. "We never used them much growing up. This past year I have really gone into mega using spices."
As a kitchen novice, I was curious where she learned about spices.
Sara shared she'd purchased some pre-measured kits from the grocery store to see which ones would taste good together. She also took classes at the Savory Spice Shop in Huntersville.
"Now I mix all of my own spices," she said. "It's almost like a prayer and a dream kind of coming to fruition here in my later years when I need it.
"My tastes have changed as I've gotten older and I've really enjoyed it."
Sara's constantly trying a new diet trend. Right now, she's hooked on The People's Pharmacy cookbooks. The authors host a weekly health talk show on public radio.
"I'm always on a bandwagon," she said. "Sometimes my husband wonders if I'm going to survive."
But Sara doesn't stick with one trend for too long, instead she picks out her favorite aspects of each one before moving on.
"It's just a lot of fun," she said. "I always like to get something good out of whatever I eat."
When Sara steps into the kitchen to create her next meal, health is in the forefront of her mind. But that doesn't mean she can't get creative.
"Cooking has always been an adventure for me," she said.
Sara's been cooking for as long as she can remember.
"As a child I realized that eating was an important part of daily life, and I knew cooking was something I wanted to do," she said. "Growing up, I was in the kitchen when my grandma and mother were cooking, and I came out of that kitchen basically knowing how to cook.
"It's been a natural love. "
Apron time
Before any cooking got under way, Sara and I put on aprons.
"Wearing an apron feels like getting dressed up," she said as she helped tie one around my waist. "I make them and buy them ... I've got quite a few.
"I have ones for every season — Christmas, Thanksgiving, Mother's Day."
I picked out a beautiful patchwork apron from her collection, her latest creation.
"It's kind of a diversion for me," she said. "If I get tired in the kitchen I say 'Oh, maybe I'll go make an apron.'"
Sara's inherited her love of aprons from her grandmother, who wore the garment every day.
"The only time she didn't wear one was when she got up on Sunday morning and went to church," she said. "It was a natural part of what she wore every single day."
A messy chef, Sara said she also likes aprons for their practicality.
"They are purposeful, they protect your clothes," she said. "Back in the old days, you didn't have a whole lot of clothes and you might not have a washing machine, so you needed to take care of them.
"If I'm in the kitchen, I always have on my apron."
Time to create
After we had on our aprons, we were ready to get down to business.
Sara started off showing me how to make a quick fruit salad.
We cut up two large apples, then squeezed juice from a tangerine into a bowl. She added a few drops of vanilla extract to the juice before pouring it over the apples.
Next, she dropped in a couple spoonfuls of gin-soaked raisins.
She lets yellow raisins sit in gin for several weeks before eating them.
"They help ward off arthritis," she said of the trick she learned from The People's Pharmacy. "You are supposed to eat nine a day."
The salad was topped off with chopped walnuts, which added a bit of crunch.
We tried it out before moving on to the main dish, chicken stir-fry.
The vanilla and tangerine flavors added a hint of sweet tartness to the apples. The raisins gave the combination a kick.
Before we could get started on the entree, we had to cut up the two large chicken breasts that had been soaking in the kosher salt and water, a trick Sara uses to keep it moist.
She meticulously chopped the meat into pieces while reminiscing about her days growing up on a farm, where her family raised and killed chickens to eat.
Next, we mixed up minced garlic, marjoram, ground mustard, basil, oregano and course ground pepper and added a bit of olive oil.
We put the chicken in a frying pan and added about half of the spice mixture.
As it browned, Sara shared stories about her family, which includes husband, Roy, and three grown children.
It didn't take long to realize that Sara's the cool grandma.
An amateur photographer, she created a green screen to make it look like her grandson, a Superman fan, was flying high above New York city.
After the chicken was done, she removed it from the pan, poured in some frozen vegetables and added the remainder of the spices.
She cooked the vegetables a short while, taking them up before they became soggy.
We sat down together to eat the meal, which turned out to be extremely flavorful thanks to the six simple spices.
Dessert was one of my favorite parts of the visit.
By adding a few drops of vanilla extract and liquid Stevia, a natural sweetener, and a sliced banana to plain yogurt, Sara created an easy sweet treat.
An hour after eating it, I could still taste a hint of vanilla on my lips.
Sara said her No. 1 secret to cooking comes from her mother.
"Make sure people are hungry," she said with a laugh.
Now, that's a secret I can definitely use to my advantage.

Overnite it turned to freezing rain and is supposed to turn to light rain later in the morning. School delayed 2 hours. State and locals got a jump on the roads salting so the roads aren't bad from what I can tell. Overall not too bad although I'm sure there will be some idiot drivers going to work in a hurry and causing accidents. How the rest of you guys making out?
