My New Favorite


I have a brand new favorite in my life. Ok, so its a brand new favorite in my kitchen life. The chicken, goat or donkey life has nothing to do with this. Except on page 155. The chickens would most certainly take exception with page 155. I wont show it to them. They are on a need to know basis and they just dont need to know about fried chicken just yet.



I love cookbooks. This is utterly amazing even to me because I dont really like to cook. I cook but I just dont enjoy it. Maybe when I have a new and pretty kitchen I will like it again but for now thats on hold. But I love, love, love this fun cookbook. The Pioneer Woman Cooks is a gem as far as practicality goes. I like to know that what I cook will likely be eaten. I would even go as far as to say I would also like them to like it. Is that asking too much? Thank you, I didnt think so either.




Ree Drummond, the author is a great photographer and her writing is well worth reading. I know, who actually reads a cook book, right? Well I did. Start to finish and I smiled through almost all of it.The rest made me laugh out loud. My husband thinks I have officially gone around the bend. He may be right.




A friend directed me towards the Pioneer Woman blog earlier this year and I visit often. Its fun to read and great to look at too. Plus it motivates me to cook, yikes..... did I just say that out loud?



I am so going to try this sometime this weekend. It looks very doable. 

The Pioneer Woman also has a recipe site now called Tasty Kitchen and it is great. Its just starting up but I can see how this will absolutely explode over the next year. Its all that and a bucket of bees. (Bees are my other new favorite but dont tell my husband yet. He thinks its just a phase I am going through.)

So if you havent had the chance to check out The Pioneer Woman Blog or her new cookbook yet, I suggest you do. It is well worth the trip and Ree did not pay me to say that. In fact, I seriously doubt she knows I am writing this or will ever find out for that matter. She seems busy.
