The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier
By Ree Drummond
William Morrow Cookbooks - 2012
Crash Hot Potatoes : page 217
This recipe went viral, a few years ago, when it was first posted on Ree's blog. They are delicious. Sometimes, I added a little Parmesan cheese and drizzled heavy cream on top which makes a decadent and rich variation of this potato. It's a family favorite.

Strawberry Shortcake Cake : page 246
Ree is really digging back into her oldies but goodies recipe, from waaaaaaay back on her blog. This is one of her first recipes I ever made, but it's good. The cake is sturdy enough to hold up against fresh strawberries, and who doesn't love a cream cheese frosting?

Buttered Rosemary Rolls : page 228
How do I love this recipe? Let me count the ways. First, I make my own bread rolls, instead of frozen bread dough. I'm a bread baker, and have the easiest peasiest recipe on my blog (http://foodiewife-kitchen.blogspot.com/2009/11/pioneer-womans-buttered-rosemary-rolls.html) But, if you cheat and use frozen bread dough, I can personally attest that adding sea salt and fresh rosemary, and baking these babies in a cast iron skillet rocks! I've made this many times, and it's always a hit-- and looks so impressive.

Perfect Potatoes Au Gratin : page 226
I love any kind of gratin. This is a good recipe, but not my ultimate favorite. Ree uses Russet potatoes and cheddar cheese. It's good, and rich, but my all time favorite is made with Yukon Gold's and Fontina cheese. But, that's just my own personal preference.

Rib-Eye Steak with Onion-Blue Cheese Sauce : page 204
This is a really easy recipe to make, and a true man-pleasing dinner. I'm a carnivore, too, and I loved this recipe a lot.

Fig Prosciutto Pizza : page 148
I watched PW make this on her television show, and I was sold. I love fig jam, so I made her pizza crust and this recipe--exactly as she did. It was a fantastic summer meal, outside on a summer day. It's different, and memorable.

Pizza Dough : page 141
This is an easy pizza dough to make, and a good basic one to have on hand.

Chicken Parmesan : page 130
This is a really easy recipe for a Classic dish. It's fancy enough to serve for a dinner party, yet makes a pretty quick work night dinner. It's a recipe that's several years old on Ree's blog, but she's included in her new cookbook.

Restaurant Style Salsa : page 0
There is no need for me to buy bottled salsa. This recipe is super easy to make and I appreciate it most when tomato growing season is over. I like being able to adjust the heat of this recipe by adding more or less jalapeno. Yes, it tastes just like the salsa that is served at Mexican restaurants.

Cauliflower Soup : page 86
Goodness! This recipe is years old on Ree's blog, but it's a good thing she added it to her newest cookbook. It's a delicious soup, and the sour cream is a nice touch. This has become a regular family favorite.
