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.

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

Ree's mashed potatoes recipe.
When I think of home and growing up in the country, I think of steak, scalloped potatoes and the veggie in season. asparagus, squash or artichoke!
Sausage gravy and biscuit is my all time favorite southern indulgence. Well, that and sheet cake, and mac and cheese, and chicken fried steak…
My ultimate favorite is slow-cooked pulled pork… I always make it a little different each time : sweet bbq pork, tangy hot red pepper pork, Italian 'beef style' pork w/aus jous … any way it can go on a bun and sop up all the juicy goodness! As a side, asparagus reigns supreme in my house. In the spring I serve it with EVERYTHING!
Love the show, blog and Ree's spirit. I've used some of her recipes but altered them a bit (well, sometimes a lot), because my husband had a heart attack and we are working on keeping him on a strict cardiac diet. So sometimes I bake rather than fry or use my invented vegetarian recipe for meatballs in place of the real deal. But I love her all the same!
love fried chicken & the steaks & mashed potatoes; family show=great; love the family
Homemade biscuits with sausage gravy…yum!
Chicken Fried Steak
I love her Chuck Roast with onions and carrots. Also love her super creamy mashed potatoes. Love the program and Ree is so relateable. Wish Pioneer Woman was on more frequently.
I love her pot roast recipe, it is now the only way i cook my roasts. Low and slow. The flat apple pie is awesome too!!
One of my many (to many to mention) has got to be my Shepards Pie I make with left over roast beef. I will wait until I make a roast and save the roast and gravy in the freezer. When I'm ready for the pie I pull that out along with a pack of either 10% fat hamburger or ground venison burger, fry the hamburger with onions, little garlic, etc., mix it in w/the chopped pot roast and gravy, top w/creamy mashed potatoes, top that with french fried onions and shredded cheddar and bake, wow, if I don't call the 'grown' kids and grandkids I better not let them know I made it. lol. I love Ree, her show, her web site and her 1st. cookbook. I would love this new book.
Homemade buttermilk biscuits with sausage gravy. Yum.
Pecan pie is my fave<3
Biscuits and sausage gravy! Yum…what I had for breakfast this morning…
My favorite is chicken fried steak with Mashed potatoes.
love, love, love fried chicken
It's hard to pick just one recipe I love. I've been following Ree's blog for years. My favorite recent recipe is Flat Apple Pie.
Chicken and waffles
Mine would have to be meatloaf, real mashed potatoes, and frozen corn.
maybe dinner tonight?????
My wonderful mother-in-law made Ree's delicious pot roast with potatoes, carrots, and onions after an emergency surgery I had to have and she sent us some. My husband and I absolutely loved it so much we asked her for the recipe. I made her Ree's fantastic blackberry cobbler recipe. Ree's blackberry cobbler is to die for with just 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) melted butter in it and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in it, plus 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar for sprinkling on top before going into the oven. On the recipe page for the cobbler the sugar is really excessive, so we tweaked it together . My mother-in-law had made it following the sugar amount in the recipe page and she found it inedible. She had to throw it away. She told me about it and we calculated together the perfect sugar amount.
Fried Chicken!
My down home country food has to be fried chicken, mashed potatoes, cooked greens. Love it!

Vegetable Stew, blackeye peas, and cornbread. Of course have honey and fresh pepper on hand.
Blackeye peas(not dried) (fresh chopped onions, shredded cheddar, and a Tbs. of kraft creamy horseradish stirred into a heated one cup serving)
Cornbread: Ballard cornbread (mix southern style) made with (buttermilk if available), chopped vidalia onions (+/- 3/4 c.), chopped jalapenos(+/- 1/4 c.), and 1 cup or more extra sharp cheddar (preferably white). Cook in pyrex- when it comes out of the oven, melt a half stick of butter across the top.

Honey dipped fried chicken is my favorite country dish. I love the sweet honey drizzed over crispy fried chicken with a little bit of salt, it's soooo delicious. Tastes great with a side of home made crunchy coleslaw.

You do not know what country this dish, but to-die-for chocolate Texas sheet cake would be to go with her. Wow! It's amazing. Thank you for the opportunity to ride!
