wednesday. the pioneer woman.

i've had a bit of a farm theme going this week, i blame mother nature. the whirlwind of weather we've had the last couple weeks gave us some lovely weather, causing me to go into garden/cooking/cleaning/wanting to live on a farm overdrive ... and then she took it away. at the moment, i see raindrops and grey skies. yuck. mother nature needs a timeout.

but, i digress (fancy word, huh? you can thank fancy nancy), here's something to turn that frown upside-down! ree drummond. a.k.a. the pioneer woman. a.a.k.a. kitchen genius. a.a.a.k.a. my hero.

i suspect that hours of well-paid work-time are spent drooling over her website (don't ask me how i know this). cooking, home & garden, photography, homeschooling—i'm telling you, the woman does it all. here, spend some time getting to know her. she's hilarious.

her recipes are to die for. her cookbook is unbelievable. she's funny. she lives on a ranch. she has four kiddos. four! she refers to her husband as marlboro man. she says things like this when talking about butter: This butter was a little soft because I’d left a sack of groceries in my car for two hours because I have a rebellious streak and like to leave one or two sacks of groceries in the car when I get home. Issues.


check out her cookbook. people like her deserve to have us spend $15.00 on a cookbook she's put her life into. and yes, i'm rambling on and on like a love letter about this lady i don't even know (p.s. my mom got to meet her. jealous isn't a strong enough word.), but that's because she's awesome. and pretty much, i want to be her.

seriously. you will go to her website and look at the amazing recipes and her witty, goofy humor ... and you will want to be her, too. promise.
