For those of you busy working on the ranch, you may have missed that ranching and farming have made it big time on the Food Network. Ree Drumond was a vegetarian when she fell in love with and married her husband a cattle rancher. She moved from the big city to the family’s ranch where she learned to love beef and found herself lost for a year. She pulled herself by her boot straps and learned to entertain herself through a blog. Not just any blog, but a food blog. She wrote out recipes, took pictures along the way and became one of the top bloggers for three years in a row. The Food Network scooped her up and now she has her very own charming TV cooking show. The first show was on Saturday, and before the first show, she was on with Paula Dean.
What makes this Pioneer Woman so special is she is charming, at times self-depricating, and talks like the rest of us. She admits on one of her recent blog posts about having a double chin, but she doesn’t care. She takes pictures and has a little photography business associated with the Pioneer Woman business. No doubt we’ll see a cookbook by her out in time for Christmas. She’s essentially the next Rachael Ray, only from the ranch. She makes good down-home cooking, with fresh produce and meats, but also simple dishes. Not so simple you say, it’s missing something, but simple as in the way our grandparents used to cook without bechemal sauces, reductions, and sprinkles of “this”.
She keeps up with her blog that has made her famous, and it is as charming as she is. The pictures are wonderful too. Visit www.thepioneerwoman.com to read her recipes, get to know her, and for show times. If you’re busy at your own ranch, get yourself a DVR to watch later. You won’t want to miss this.
