I have been wanting the Pioneer Woman's cookbook for awhile now. It came out back in October, but it was a twinkle in my eye when I saw it on her blog. I ordered it on B&N last week and it came on Tuesday. Unfortunately, I was sick last Tuesday and I didn't really thumb through it, knowing that I wouldn't fully enjoy it in my sickened state. So I patiently waited until I felt better to look though it. It was worth the wait!
In my life I had never sat down and read a cookbook from cover to cover - until now! The cookbook is filled with her original photography and anecdotes (and OF COURSE her great recipes!) I love her style of taking shot-by-shot photos of each step in the process, it makes things as easy as pie!
Speaking of pie, there were LOTS of recipes that I want to try. One of the reviewers on B&N.com said "if you have a man to feed, this is the cookbook for you." I have already picked out several recipes that I think the man in my life will enjoy ...
BBQ meatballs (these aren't your typical crockpot meatballs served on a toothpick!)
Cinnamon rolls (ok, these are more for me...yummy maple frosting!!)
Marlboro Man's Favorite Sandwich (We had these tonight for dinner. I make Philly sandwiches every once in awhile, and I've never thought to use cube steak - I'm a convert!)
Penne a la Betsy (this kind of looks like a pasta dish from Gratziano's in Waco - except they made it with chicken. I'm excited to try it out & see if it's similar)
Brisket (I may not be a real Texan, but my six years living there have definitely given me an appreciation for it!)
And there are a few recipes in her book that aren't on her blog - Burgandy Mushrooms and some pretty fabulous looking brownies. (Although, I just want to say that my Bethy brownies are pretty much unbeatable...)
Seriously all you foodies out there, you need to get this cookbook. You will not be disappointed!
