*Welcome all you Pioneer Woman readers. Apparently I was lucky enough to be mentioned in the comments section of her recent giveaway and lots of you are checking me out, thanks!! Oh and Thank you Crystal, be sure to stop by and leave a comment, and thanks so much for mentioning me, I am forever grateful. I would say this cookbook giveaway is perfect timing! Hope you all come again!*
I love me some Pioneer Woman. If you are not familiar with her very popular Blog The Pioneer Women, please go read her archives now, you will die of laughter. Not only is she funny, she also has the most amazing down home cooking recipes, ever! And luckily for me I made her Cinnamon Rolls the other day. 8 whole pans of lovely cinnamony perfection. I actually froze the other 7 pans. But PW being a kind generous person usually gives her rolls away to neighbors, friends and family, and I might just do that the next time I make them. Because there will be a next time, I am sure of this.
Pioneer Woman besides having the best blog ever, recently released a best-selling cook book. And because I am a #1 fan I bought a couple. Yes a couple of them. 1 for myself of course, and I thought one for maybe Christmas gifts, or better yet a blog giveaway!!! Yes I am willing to share.
A Cook book that is.
Here’s a little sneak peek inside
each of her recipes have her step by step photos and instructions, which if you’re a visual junkie like me, you’ll just love.

I have made several of her recipes. In fact, I made one tonight: Marboro Man’s Second Favorite Sandwich. I’m not sure if it’s in the cookbook or not (because I don’t have a copy yet. $ are very tight so I really hope I win!). Anyway, you can find the recipe on her site. I make it a few times a month, because my man looooooooves it as does my 16 year old son. Even my daughters like it, too.
I love Pioneer Woman!! Her recipes are amazing. I follow you here and I just started following you on Twitter!

I really want to try the cinnamon rolls sometime! Her cookbook looks awesome!
I follow your blog already.
Oh, and I just added you to twitter!
I have tried several but so far, the Apple Skillet Cake is my favorite. 🙂
I have not tried any of her recipes but would love to try any of the desserts. Hmmm. Maybe this weekend. I stumbled upon The Pioneer Woman site when looking for photography help. Not only does she cook but she takes wonderful photos and has a lot of helpful info.
Thanks for introducing me to the Pioneer woman.. Those cinnamon rolls look delicious… I am off to visit her site and maybe just go get her cookbook tonight on my way home…
I have made MM second favorite sandwich (not in the cookbook) the steak bites (awesome), the bacon wrapped jalapeno things, crash hot potatoes, creamy mashed potatoes, egg in a hole, onion strings, pasta alla MM, I think that is it. We love every recipe that we try byt the steak bites were to die for!
Oh yeah, I subscribed to your blog and am now following you on twitter!
I just started reading her blog a couple weeks ago, but haven’t been able to try any recipes since we’ve had the flu at my house…. but I can’t wait!

The cinnamon rolls are my all time fav recipe of hers.I have her book and I love it. I even have it signed. She is just as nice in person as she is on her blog. A word of warning if you go to a book signing. Make sure you have 3 hours to kill. That’s how long we stood in line.
I actually just found Pioneer Woman the other day and WOW her recipes look incredible! I have a bunch of them bookmarked for future use.
(PS: I have been following you on Twitter for a little while now and just figured out how to use Google Reader. Go me!)
I had never even heard of her!! I’m totally going to try one of her recipes! I also subscribe on google reader and follow you on twitter. 🙂
YUm it looks good. And while I have heard of Rhee, I have not tired any of her recipes.

I’ve tried Apple Dumplings – http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/02/apple_dumplings/ it was ok but not as good as I expected (I thought my husband would be wowed and he wasn’t, I did use diet soda so maybe that made a huge difference?)
I think you should make the bacon cracker appetizers or The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake. Ever.
I’ll probably make cookie dough and candy (need to use some up!). Great giveaway!!!
I have made the bacon wrapped jalapeno thingies and they are yummy good. I would love to get my hands on that cookbook and try out more of her recipes!
Her vodka pasta is outstanding.
Oh my, you must try the Hot Crash Potatoes, The Onion Strings, The Marlboro Man Sandwich and her way of cooking Pot Roast. I will never cook a Post Roast and other way. I am a huge fan of PW!

I think these cinnamon rolls look wonderful and I will buy this book myself If I don’t win the one you a giving away. But I never win anything so I will probably go ahead and order the cookbook now.
Oooh, exciting! And I didn’t know she had a blog, so thank you. I’ve heard about her from my cousin who has this book already.
I’d like to enter, and I already subscribe to your blog, so I don’t know if that counts for two entries, but regardless, count me in!
I haven’t tried any of Ree’s recipes yet but found one the other day there for Carrot and Squash curry soup (might not be the exact name) that sounds and looks yummy… AND easy. Might have to try the Cinnamon buns too!

I have tried many recipes…they are all good, but a favorite would be the chicken casserole! Thanks!
I love Pioneer women. I tried several of her recipes… Chocolate sheet cake the best. Cake balls, several pasta’s, Asian noodles.
Want to try Sushi.
I have just subscribed to your blog and twitter.
I have just recently been introduced to the Pioneer Woman and I look forward to trying out her recipes.
I have tried her pasta primavera(delicious!) and PW favorite sandwich(yummy!) and a few more- those were my favorites! Thanks for the chance for the cookbook!
The Asian Noodle Salad is yummy! She calls it her most favorite.
You must try the Grilled Ribeye Steak with Onion-Blue Cheese Sauce. It’s out of this world!
Ree’s Chicken Scallopini is one of those recipes that, after everyone takes that first bite they go……”AH!”
I would love to win her cookbook. I’m not putting all my eggs in one basket though, I have her cookbook on my Christmas list too!
I know PW- but I don’t think I have actually ever made anything of hers. I have eaten stuff my friends make! ha! Yum.
When I saw she had a book out- I totally wanted it- but sigh- not right now. So I would TOTALLY love this. please please please pick me?
Ohhh I am dying to get my hands on her book! I think my most recent favorite of her’s was the rosemary buttered rolls in the cast iron skillet but those cinnamon rolls look incredible! I follow you/subscribe and also follow you on twitter!
I like her lasagne. Though I put in onion and garlic.
I am also a big fan of PW! I make her Man-Pleasin’ Sandwich quite often…it’s soooo good! Also, her Barbecue meatballs are to die for! Her cookbook is on my Christmas wishlist so if I win it here, I can ask for something else….like maybe an immersion blender?! 🙂
Now following your blog. 🙂
Now following you on Twitter.
For the Pioneer Woman Cooks cookbook give away. I am a new fan of PW but love her food. A friend and I cooked a meal with nothing but her recipes. All were great. We had the mushrooms stuffed with brie, crash potatoes (excellent), Grilled Ribeye steak with onio-blue cheese sauce (the sauce is so good I’d eat it without the steak) and buttered rosemary rolls. It was delicious. Any of those PW recipes you haven’t tried are wonderful.
I love Ree!! She’s the greatest!!
I bought all the ingredients to make her Buttered Rosemary Rolls soon. Ree’s cookbook is on my Christmas list!
I love the Pioneer Woman! My husband’s favorite so far has been the fresh lemon pasta…but I’ve got lots of other recipes of hers I’ve been wanting to try!
I LOVE Ree Drummond/Pioneer Woman – I hardly end a day without checking into her site to see what amazing recipes she has chosen to share with us that day ~ I have tried and tested many of her recipies and have NEVER been a bit disappointed. As a beginner cook, and basically being self-taught (until Ree that is), I have learned SOOO much including many cooking techniques thanks to her step-by-step pictures. Her roast is amazing, I can now successfully pan-fry a steak to amazing (grills aren’t allowed in apartments! 🙁 . . . cinnamon rolls have made me a whole lot of “friends”, pretty sure I won’t ever buy chicken strips from the freezer section EVER again – homemade ummm good!, and finally MM’s favorite sandwich is on the menu for this week – I am sure that too will be a hit just as everything else is! I WOULD LOVE to have her book – please ENTER me!
PS: And I love her latest question about everyone’s favorite food blogger – because the people’s answers have led me to so many new sites like yours that I can’t wait to explore!!!!
Hello! I LOVE reading the pioneer woman! I’ve made her Mac and cheese and it was delish! Having been used to the Kraft box stuff, I was a bit overpowered by the dry mustard…But then again, I did add a bit more than called for. Ha!
I recommend her tres leche or three milk cake!!
I am now a subscriber!
I am following you on Twitter!
Hi!
1 – I love seeing what Pioneer Woman is up to! Last week she posted a recipe from her buddy’s book, so I made Chicken Broccoli, yum!
2 – I’m subscribed
3 – Following you on Twitter
Best of luck to everyone!
I love her hot crash potatoes! I’m always looking for great ways to use our fresh rosemary and it works SO well with this recipe!
I have made a lot of her recipes, and adore most of them. Her chinese noodle salad is unbelievably good, and her cheesy biscuits (which actually weren’t her recipe but were on her sight from a dairy cooking competition she had) are famous in my house. That woman can cook!
The only casserole MM will eat!! Fabulous!!!
Her creamy mashed potatoes are to DIE FOR! Try them in time for Thanksgiving and you won’t go back 🙂
I love every one of her recipes that I have ever made, but the Oatmeal Crispies and the Apricot Bars are now permanent recipes in my repertoire.
I love PW. I actually found your blog through someone mentioning you on her contest!! I have added so many of her recipes to my cooking rotation. MM sandwich is one of the favorites. I would love to have her cookbooks, and look forward to reading your blog everyday!!
O.k. I’ll admit it… I am so jealous of The Pioneer Woman. I am part of her recipe club and have made a few recipes, but I sooo want that cookbook! Thanks for the giveaway!!!
Happy Wordless Wednesday.
Thank you for the giveaway!! I love PW’s recipes – I’ve already tried many – my favorites are her Nachos, rib-eye steak salad and of course, that BEST EVER chocolate sheet cake. Ah-mazing! Next on my list are her rosemary (skillet) rolls.
I hope you know you were mentioned as a Favorite in comments for her current give-away contest! I am happy to see your Blog (you) get the recognition you deserve! Thanks for the invite to follow you on Twitter!
I’ve tried several of PW’s recipes and she has yet to let me down. I love the green beans with bacon and tomatoes. I fix this at least once a month. The apple things with Mt. Dew were great too. I’ve also tried MM’s favorite sandwich and the spicy shrimp too. I am hoping to try the nacho dip soon, maybe over the holidays.
PW is the best! I check in on her daily! Her Baked Lemon Pasta is a favorite at our house. My 1 year old eats it up! 🙂 Great blog, by the way. Can’t wait to follow you too!
Hi-
I love the Pioneer Woman as well. I recently made her Buttered Rosemary Rolls http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/10/buttered-rosemary-rolls/ with Pasta & a Greek salad.
I subscribe to your blog via Bloglovin http://www.bloglovin.com/ and just followed you on Twitter.
I’ve been craving cinnamon rolls. Thanks for posting this. Yum!
Wanting a big fat Cinnamon roll NOW!!!!! Yummy!
yum
I’m a big Pioneer Woman fan & a Newlyweds fan. 🙂 I have tried a PW recipe recently – the single-serving scalloped potatoes. I made some changes to fit what I had at home & they were a big hit. I’ll make them again. I really want the cookbook so I hope I win!
Followed and suscribed! Happy to discover your blog. 🙂 I love the Pioneer Woman blog – I made her crash hot potatoes a while ago. Only thing, I used purple potatoes instead of regular ones. I hope I win the cookbook giveawa. In case you’d like to see, here is where it is: http://purplefoodie.com/2009/05/herby-purple-potatoes.html
I made her Panzinella (sp) where she made them with pita chips instead of bread. OMG, it was wonderful. I made it twice, first time according to her directions. Second time, the only difference I made was to not soak the pita chips in the liquid for as long as she did (I liked them cruncy, not soggy).
Thanks!
I keep looking at pioneer woman, then I forget to do her recipes when I plan my meals for the week! I was just drooling over the chipolte sweet corn potato soup. I will have to try that next week! Your blog looks great too! Thank you!
I love cookbooks! I’m going to have to check her website out! Thanks for the introduction!
I am a Pioneer Woman devotee! A friend turned me on to The Pioneer Woman and I was hooked from the moment I entered Ree’s “space”. Last night I made Ree’s Delicious Baked Acorn Squash – yummy and so easy. Moist Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes were a hit at my Cooking Club this week. The recipe by Pam Anderson for Quick Southern-Style Baked Beans that appeared on The Pioneer Woman’s website was not what I call quick, but the beans were definitely what I call delicious! I would love to add The Pioneer Woman Cooks to my cookbook library 🙂
I’ve made her Chicken Scallopine (very good) and her regular enchiladas (excellent) -and probably some others too!
new to your site –
Discovered you in a comment @ PW’s and have now both subscribed and Twittered you :). Try her Carrot and Squash Curry soup, was a big hit in the family! Looking forward to reading you… http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/11/carrot-and-squash-curry-soup/
Big fan of PW. My men folk love the steak sandwiches made with cube steaks. I make them occasionally on Saturday afternoons as a treat 🙂
Count me as a follower!
Blessings!

Oh I would love to win this book! I’m a follower on Twitter and I’ve subscribed to the blog. I am dying to try her White Chicken Enchiladas — I have a feeling they might become a “fancy”/special-occasion version of my Chicken-Tomatillo Enchiladas (http://www.thenewlywedchefette.com/2009/05/chicken-tomatillo-enchiladas.html)!!
What a great giveaway! I subscribe, I follow, and I’ve been drooling over her cinnamon rolls for a while…I’m thinking tomorrow morning is the perfect time to try them out!
I have been following The Pioneer Woman for a few months now. i have tried lots of her recipes but on of my favorite is the very first one in her cook book, Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos. They are delish! I am actually making them as an appetizer for Thanksgiving!
I love the pioneer woman! I just tried the enchiladas with all the green chiles in them – very yummy and will definately make it again. Also love Tasty Kitchen! 🙂
I tried her apple turnovers (the ones with Mt. Dew poured around them). I was not impressed with that recipe, but just about everything else is divine. I’d LOVE to win her cookbook – thanks so much for the opportunity to enter!!!
🙂
ButterYum
I have tried her onion rings and carrot cake both of which my husband loves very much.
I don’t think I already entered this. I LOVE cookbooks. And PW’s foods tend to turn out pretty darn well. You just know that her cookbook will be gorgeous AND delicious recipes!
