It's hard, you get invested in a movie and get 40 minutes into it and it's hard to turn it off.

Old high school couple that was in love, but then she left to chase her dreams.., And of course they can't get along... restaurant, needs repairs, renovation, and it's up for sale.

Then the two girl chefs at competing restaurants enter a competition with each other.... OK, we know who's going to win... Halfway through, I want to click stop/erase... Aaron Cahill does an excellent job, Jessi is kind of a dork.

I'm trying really hard to like this....,

Very typical Hallmark plot, really needed help in the writing editing department.

To help set expectations, this is a straightforward hallmark romance. Taylor has a success show on the cooking channel. So successful that the network wants to take her show nationwide. The problem....while the recipes are "quick, easy and tasty", they aren't Taylor's and she is tired of doing other people's recipes. She takes a break and heads home to the coastal town of Dunedin, where she meets an old flame, old friends and old rivals. She also discovers that her dad wants to retire and sell their family's restaurant.

She enters her and her dad into a local cooking contest hoping for them both to get inspired, igniting that old cooking passion...meanwhile she has to decide if she should except the network's new very generous offer with a little pressure from her friend and agent.

I loved seeing Martin Kove, who played her father Glen. It was a fine enough script, but just a middle of the road romance that left me lukewarm on recommending to my fellow romantics.
