Ree Drummond started out as a home cook on a working ranch in Oklahoma.
The Pioneer Woman now has five(five!
)cookbooks, a Food internet show and even a gorgeous hotel in Pawhuska.
Ree has reached a level of domesticity that I could only aspire to.
Ive started tackling her recipes one by one and my family has loved the result.
Heres what I learned from the Pioneer Womanplus a handful of her recipes!
Lesson 1: Comfort Food is Always a Favorite
I do most of my cooking on Sundays.
I also love to make recipes on weekends that will heat up well during the week.
My toddler loves a good mac n cheese and Ree doesnt disappoint with her recipe.

Its something can easily be prepped the night before and cooked in the morning.
Plus, one breakfast casserole can last my family for two meals.
Ree Drummond has created a scrumptious dish thats perfect for your family or a big get-together.
