Homemade Lemonade

Making a big ol’ batch of lemonade is one of my favorite summertime rituals, and I’d be seriously lost and forlorn in the wilderness if something happened to the worldwide lemon crop one year and I wasn’t able to make it. No mix or frozen...Show More Summary

My Mom’s Muffins

My mom made these blessedly beautiful muffins when she was visiting over the weekend, and I just inhaled them. They’re textural and flavorful and—bonus!—oil free and butter free…which, to me, is an invitation to slather on softened butter and fruity jelly. Show More Summary

Edna Mae’s Sour Cream Pancakes

These pancakes…aren’t just any pancakes. They’re…wait for it… They’re Edna Mae’s Sour Cream Pancakes! Of course, you probably already figured that out based on the title of this post. I’ve always been really great at building suspense. Show More Summary

Easter Leftover Sandwich

Got leftover Easter eggs? Got leftover Easter ham? Got a hearty appetite? Good! You’ve come to the right place! I made this big honkin’ sandwich a few months ago, and it’ll be in my holiday cookbook. But as I’ve explained to you before, it’s very difficult for me to save recipes for my cookbooks. Show More Summary

Pretty, Yummy Fruit Salad

I think you’ll love this colorful, pretty fruit salad, which is drizzled with a lovely orange-vanilla syrup, which glosses it up and makes it visually irresistible, which makes you want to stand over the bowl and slurp up every single bite, which won’t leave any for your brunch guests.

Krispy Easter Eggs

Imagine the Easter Bunny laying an egg. Wait. That’s not anatomically possible. And anyway, the Easter Bunny is a boy, right? It’s even more impossible than I thought! Okay, let’s start this whole thing over. Imagine that the Easter Bunny’s wife is a chicken, and imagine her laying an egg. Show More Summary

Drop Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

Late Saturday afternoon, after Marlboro Man had returned home with the soccer-playing girls and I had returned home with the soccer-playing boys, and after our three bottle calves were given their bottles and after I washed the lastShow More Summary

Peppermint Patty Cake

I apologize in advance for the length of this post. But you’re going to get two cake recipes out of the deal! So please continue to love me. Unless you didn’t love me before, and then please consider loving me. The other day I found myself with three bags of miniature peppermint patties. Show More Summary

Recipes from Tomorrow’s Show!

Tomorrow’s Food Network episode is one of my favorite to date, as our good friends Butch and Julie come over for dinner and the entire meal is truly last-minute. All of the recipes were made from stuff I had on hand: ground beef, potatoes, grape tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, and—gulp—bananas. Show More Summary

Lay Crewsay Giveaway

I know that’s not how you’re supposed to pronounce it. But that’s how I like to pronounce it. It makes me feel whole.   Today, because my power’s back on, and because I love ya, I’m giving away three of these awesome 3 1/2 Quart Le Creuset brasiers. Show More Summary

Strawberry Oatmeal Bars

These are a very simple variation of these snacks that I posted back in the very early days of The Pioneer Woman Cooks. I made the strawberry version for one of my earlier Food Network episodes, and it’s turned out to be a favorite—partly because they’re perfectly delicious, and partly because they’re so ridiculously simple to make. Show More Summary

Bright Yellow Pot!

Today… Because it’s Friday… Because I use a big Le Creuset pot like this to make fried fruit pies on tomorrow’s Food Network show… (Please note that I did not say I like pot…) And because I love ya…   I’m giving away three (3) Le Creuset 7 1/2-Quart Round French Ovens, in this gawgeous “Dijon” color. Show More Summary

Fancy Mac and Cheese

This is one of my all-time favorite recipes, and I make it on tomorrow’s episode of my Food Network show. It also appears in my second cookbook, and was slightly adapted from my old Fancy Macaroni recipe from the old days of 2009. IShow More Summary

Chocolate Valentines

Note from PW: Since Valentine’s Day is next week, I wanted to bring this cookie recipe up from the archives so you’d have plenty of time to plan. This has been one of my favorite Valentine’s treats since I was a young teenager with no back fat, and the possibilities for decorating them are endless. Show More Summary

Black-Eyed Peas!

Happy Almost New Year, everyone! Did you know the “good luck” tradition of eating black-eyed peas dates all the way back to… Well, a long, long time ago. I’ve always eaten black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day, even back when I was six and I could only choke down a single bean. Show More Summary

Christmas Giveaway: Best Blender Ever

Today is my last day of filming, and boy, are my spatulas tired. The new shows I’ve just shot will start airing in January. Let me know how they turn out! I’ll be sound asleep. Today, because I’ve been using mine like crazy, I’m giving away three (3) of these awesome BlendTec WildSide blenders. Show More Summary

Blueberry Lemon Sweet Rolls

First of all, I need to state for the record that I’m on a sweet roll jag. I made these over the weekend. I made an orange marmalade version yesterday. And of course, every Christmas, I make approximately forty million batches of cinnamon rolls and deliver them to friends. Show More Summary

Thanksgiving Leftovers!

Oh my. Are you as full as I am? Did you go back for pie like I did late last night after swearing off food forever? Okay, good. I feel better. One of the very best things about Thanksgiving is the day after Thanksgiving, and I’m not talking about shopping Black Friday deals. Show More Summary

Wild Rice Pancakes

Before I begin explaining this luscious deliciousness, I need to state for the record that I love Minnesota. I’ve now visited Minneapolis three times and I want to marry it for the following reasons: 1. I don’t sweat there. The climate is right up my alley. Show More Summary

Pull-Apart Bread

I’ve made no bones about the fact that I’ve been bitten by the Pinterest bug, and by “bug” I mean a gigantic brain-sucking arachnid like the ones in Starship Troopers. Not really. What I mean is, I love Pinterest. It took me a long, long time to figure out what the big deal is. Show More Summary
