These were amazing! I made them for Superbowl Sunday and they were a HUGE hit. They were pretty easy to put together and cheap to make a ton of them.

I've been having high altitude issues with my usual banana bread recipe and decided to try something different. Ree's recipe (her mom's actually) has sour cream in it, which I figured would solve one of my problems: dry banana bread. I was so right! This one is rich and cake-like and super moist inside.

I've never attempted brisket before. Now, this is not a bbq brisket, but rather more of a roasted brisket. It came out fantastic! It was much easier than I'd expected cooking a brisket to be. Perfect if you're looking for something to feed a large, hungry crowd. It does take time to prepare, however.

Wow! Burgundy has got to be the best marinating liquid ever. I've now had steaks and these fabulous mushrooms soaked in the stuff and I can't even begin to describe how amazing.
These mushrooms take a bit of planning, but they are so incredibly worth it!

This was an easy pasta dish to put together for a weeknight meal. I thought the sauce was a bit thin, but my husband loved it.

I only started using cauliflower recently and this was a nice easy way to start. The soup is really tasty and great for a cold night.

Oh, my. This is fantastic! Granted, the dumplings are not the plain dough dumplings my grandmother made (but don't tell her!). These are seasoned drop style dumplings and the cornmeal adds a wonderful texture!

I was a little worried about this dish when I made them. My potatoes weren't cooking through (because I'm impatient) and then they stuck to the masher. I added some fresh minced garlic to the recipe -- sprinkled it over the potatoes before baking. The finished product was so tasty and well worth it.

This was a really tasty dish, but I definitely did something wrong. It came out very, very thick. I'll definitely try it again, though.

As soon as the mushrooms hit the pan of hot butter, I knew these were going to taste amazing! Pretty easy to put together, but I'd recommend doubling the recipe since they tend to go fast!

This was one of the first things I made with my new stand mixer. The bread came out fantastic, with one small exception -- it goes stale very fast. Not that it lasts that long! We ate half of it hot out of the oven.
I'd imagine it would be pretty easy to put together without a stand mixer (I've only had one a few months) but I've also noticed that most of Pioneer Woman's recipes like this one do call for and have instructions for stand mixers.

This pesto sauce is rich and creamy -- super easy for a quick dinner when you don't want to mess with something that has a lot of steps. Leftovers don't hold up so great -- I find the sauce tastes best while it's still warm.

This was a really easy salsa to put together. The flavor was pretty good -- I tend to like things saltier than most recipes and haven't quite adjusted that balance here, but otherwise it's really a great salsa.

This chili was fairly easy to put together and Ree's instructions are extremely easy to follow. Very tasty, had a great texture. I would have liked more spice, surprisingly, and will adjust next time I make this.

I liked this pasta salad, but my husband was more fond of it than I was. I couldn't get the sauce to the right consistency for my preference. It's an easy dish to prepare and good for a weeknight meal.

I thought this was very tasty. The next time around, though, I will definitely include potatoes and amp up the jalapenos as well. I wanted this to be fiery hot, but it wasn't very spicy at all.

Oh, man! These are amazing! They are a bit time consuming to put together, but they're rich and flavorful. Very worth it!

We made this as part of our New Year's Day pork, black-eyed-pea, and cabbage tradition. Not only was this dip really tasty, but it was a nice break from the typical black eyed pea dishes that we make.
