The Pioneer Woman's Strawberry Shortcake Cake combines all the deliciousness of classic strawberry shortcake into one cake and wraps it all in cream cheese frosting.
Everyone’s favorite accidental country girl, Ree Drummond, started the blog ThePioneerWoman.com in 2006, sharing stories of ranch life in Oklahoma, amazing photographs of food and family, and, of course, irresistible cowboy- and kid-approved recipes. Her first cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks, was a #1 New York Times best-seller, and last year she became a Food Network star with her cooking show, The Pioneer Woman.
Ree’s second cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier, focuses on simple, delicious food. She includes more than 100 recipes, covering every meal of the day with beautiful step-by-step photos for no-fail results. As you dive into her homey recipes, like cowgirl quiche, homemade glazed donuts, fried chicken tacos and more, prepare to be transported by Ree’s pictures and prose to a world of truck driving, cattle ranching, horse riding and good eating. This is one cookbook everyone, city slickers and country folk alike, will enjoy reading and using.
Give a few of Ree’s down-home recipes a try today:

Ree slow cooks a chuck roast and then serves it on deli rolls, letting the meaty juice soak into the rolls for amazing flavor.

A year or so ago she made a chicken and pasta dish (that was kinda spicy) that I think used heavy cream…it was so good, but I've lost the recipe and would like to make it again. I hope she'll make it again on her show.

She has many many recipes there and I'm sure you'll be able to find it.

I have Ree's first cookbook and I have to say, there is not one recipe I've tried that wasn't a hit with everyone. I have to admit, though, I was surprised when reading the comments that no one has mentioned the wonderful sour cream pancakes. My elderly mother, who has Alzheimers, even told me how good they are. My grandkids ask me to make them for them everytime they visit. I make extra and keep them in the frig, then heat them up for mom for breakfast the next day. Best pancakes I've ever made!!!!!! I have to get that new cookbook!!!! I collect cookbooks and I'd rather read a cookbook than a novel. Ree makes her cookbook so much fun to read and the pictures are an added bonus!!!! Love her humor, too.
Nothing like really great buttermilk biscuits.
I love Ree's beef stew recipe, it is luscious!
her Campfire beans r wonderful with hot buttered cornbrean…………
My Grandmother's fried chicken, soaked in our own homemade buttermilk, (after we hand churned the butter, after we hand milked our own cow) seasoned just right, floured and fried to perfection in a giant, ancient, cast iron pan on a wood-burning stove! By the way, we raised and dressed our own chickens too. Well worth all of the hard work!! I saw Ree make her cinnamon rolls in the Christmas show, I plan to make them for Easter Sunday. Just wish I could still have some of our butter to put on them.
cubed steak with gravy, rice and hot biscuits
My favorite comfort food is Ree's cinnamon rolls on Sunday morning.
