Yet another star is trying to hop on the “celebrity chef” bandwagon, but this time I doubt anyone will believe it. Pop/country singer Jessica Simpson, who is not officially a wife or even a fiancee of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, contributed to a new Dallas Cowboys Family Cookbook, the proceeds of which go to charity. Because, you know, when you think of cooking, you automatically think of Jessica, right? It’s nice that Jess wants to get involved in a charity project – but who is she kidding? Anyone who watched “Newlyweds” knows that Jessica can’t cook to save her life.
She’s not engaged to Tony Romo (yet), but Jessica Simpson is officially a part of the Dallas Cowboys family.
She appears in the 2008 Cowboys Family Cookbook, presented by “the wives of the Dallas Cowboys.”
On page 127, Simpson (who is not photographed) and Romo share their favorite family recipes for a “banana breakfast fruit smoothies” and “no-fat broccoli and cherry tomatoes.”
The two also show off their funny sides in the book’s biographical section, with Simpson listing her occupation as “hairdresser” and Romo stating that he’s a “fence builder.”
Romo — who lists “U2, Coldplay and AC/DC” as among the artists on his iPod (sorry, Jess!) — also reveals that his favorite food is “chicken enchiladas.”
The recipes, unsurprisingly are nothing special – I think my 9-year-old could probably make them without my help. The broccoli and tomato recipe calls for pre-cut, pre-washed vegetables. Is that what Jessica considers cooking?
It sure is interesting that Jessica is considered a “wife of a Dallas Cowboy.” She does like to go on and on about how Tony is her “future husband” and how she wants to have kids with him – but maybe she should wait for Tony to ask her first.

That is quite the satchel.
Don’t most Cowboy fans despise Jessica?
I guess the term ‘wife’ has been redefined in her case?
Yes, Codzilla, most Cowboys fans loathe her. I guess I shouldn’t really speak for all fans, but she was booed by an entire football stadium (in her hometown, no less) when she pressed her chest, in her ever-present Cowboys jersey, up against her luxury box window at a game last year.
We call her Yoko Romo and consider her to be a talent black hole so powerful, she has destroyed the career of the once promising Tony Romo.
Mmm, recipes from a girl who couldn’t readily identify tuna. Don’t think I’ll be racing to Amazon for this one.
She should do something with Rachael Ray. The two of them could put out a cookbook to off everyone in the entire world and their dogs.
YOKO ROMO?!?!?!?
I am quite literally laughing my ass of right this minute.
Ashlee says her sister can cook very well as her mother taught her, but she can’t so she ate very well, and loved fried chicken and mashed potato’s when she lived with Jessica for a while.
Has she got an Olson twin in that bag?
Wife? Just because you sleep with the guy for X years doesn’t make a wife of you.
I guess in Hollywood, “cooking” is the euphemism for ordering out.
I can’t stand this girl, but the zombie masses who attach their egos to athletes and then blame their girlfriends for any mistake are even worse. It’s just blatant misogyny.
That’s a really good point Amy.
If she wants to be married this badly, why did she get divorced?
Oi…I’m not one to encourage teh stoopids to breed (because they sure do), but I almost wish that she would just have a kid and disappear already.
Although, that would only happen in a perfect world. In reality she’d end up flashing the loaf around, getting “Mother of the Year” accolades (much like that Rolling Stone cover that claimed she was housewife of the year).
Yeah, I just want her to go away!!
Hmm. I think attaching her name to this just got this book much much more publicity than it ever would have received otherwise. And since it’s for charity, well, that’s gotta be a good thing, right?
Also, Jessica is SO DAMN GORGEOUS when she has on little make-up & doesn’t have porn star hair. I wish she’d do that more than the porn look.
P.S. Amy, I agree 100%. If you (general “you”, obviously, hehe) have to blame your team or your player’s shitty performance on someone not even on the field, it’s not Jessica’s problem, your team/player simply sucks. End of. ;0)
I live in Dallas. Back when Romo was dating Carrie Underwood she got blamed by fans for all of his mess ups on the field.
I saw him on the news after he lost the game to go to the playoffs. Based on his response to the questions I don’t think he really cares about winning the game. It seems like while he is talented he’s just basically enjoying the ride. He isn’t taking the game half as serious as fans do.
Who other than we zombie masses of mysogynist Cowboys fans would buy this cookbook? Attaching her name to it might have gotten it more publicity, but it won’t get it bigger sales if the target market hates her. The charity might have benefited more if she had been left out.
Then again, the zombies in Dallas tend to be a pretty charitable bunch and will no doubt support this charity in spite of Jessica and not because of her.
It’s a happy ending for everyone. Jessica gets more of the publicity she craves for being Romo’s girlfriend and the charity will not suffer for it.
Tony Romo doesn’t seem very nice. Jess’ ex doesn’t either. That girl needs a relationship makeover. AND, why isn’t he carrying one of her bags? Probably half the stuff in that huge bag is his anyway.
A cookbook from someone who once got chicken and tuna confused and thought buffalo wings came from real buffaloes. It’s amazing how much his image has gone downhill and been ruined since he hooke dup with her, he’s gone from all american golden boy to joke.
She should of stayed with Nick, he adored her. She’s just so full of herself and any man that winds up with her will unfortunately become her servant!. Its funny that the dog she loves so much and has with her all the time “Daisy” is the one Nick gave her when they were still married. Poor poor Tony he’s over~
Oh boy, this girl really lives in denial..housewife? in what parallel universe?
Speaking from a cosmetic artist’s perspective: Ahem, the girl is NOT AU-NATURAL, I have seen her Au-natural without an ounce of makeup. Obviously, she is sporting the “natural look” ala. lightly toned, natural shades to complement her actual complexion accompanied by some cleverly placed extensions. Nevertheless, hate to break it to you but it is still a face full of makeup, in the cosmetic sense. Having provided cosmetic services for years, I will add that she is not ugly but she is certainly not naturally gorgeous from a cosmetic perspective. In fact, I find her to be rather short and stocky- if not on the plumper side lately. Of course she looks healthier this way but it is what it is. Not impressed with her looks but not repulsed either.
lmao @ cavy ; I am also a make-up artist, and you’ve almost managed a way to hide your true intentions with that comment. Seems to me like you wish to belittle Jess by assuming she has “face full of make-up.” In fact, she’s not 100% off make-up but she is nowhere near a “face full of make-up.” Some light dabs of foundation and concealer under the eyes and a natural eyeliner is the only thing that woman is obviously wearing. As for being “short and stocky” and on the “plumper side”?! WTF? lol … LOOK AT THAT WOMAN! She is nowhere near plump or stocky. People like you are disgusting and I assume you do this kind of thing all the time to make up for your own flaws.
Light dabs of foundation, concealer and eyeliner?????!!!!! Now it’s my turn to lmao …. that woman has never worn a light dab of anything in her life. It appears to me she is sporting a LAYER of facial foundation,mascara, eyeliner, natural toned eye makeup and concealer. Not Paris Hilton but definitely not close to au-natural. The extensions are another matter. It is very simple- just google her without makeup and peruse the results, they are quite different than the above photos
( and most celebrities do look very different without an ounce of makeup )…I am not insulting her but I am not going to sit here and tell anyone that she is naturally gorgeous when she is not. I am not anything special without makeup either- that is just the nature of the beauty beast! As for short and stocky- she is on the very low end of five foot and that is the type of figure that she has, like it or not. Has she eaten better lately? Obviously and her weight gain is obvious on such a stocky frame. It shows in her thighs, upper arms, and stomach as well as around the jawline. She is not fat but she appears plump from various angles simply because of her body shape and size. Jessica must work harder than most to appear thin.
t: Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. If the target market hates Jessica, then why include her? And I’m also a member of the zombie masses (for another team), and if my star QB was playing like shit, I’d go after his girlfriend, his mother, his pet rat. Anything to motivate him to earn his keep.
Jess is a gorgeous woman no matter what ‘cosmetic expert’ Cavy or anyone else says!
I’ve built fence for 24 years. I’m offended by Tony “workin’ man” Romo listing himself as a “fence builder”. We fence builders get paid only after we deliver a finished product that satisfies the customer. We generally work from sun-up to sun-down. If you are workin’ for somebody just 8 hours a day…you should work the full 8 hours. Anything less is stealing. If he was honest with himself He’d give Jerry a refund for the work he didn’t do. Jessica? Cooking? Dallas Cowboys Honorable Tradition? Nothing in common.Work of fiction… Just like Romos work ethic.
