Yes, Ree and Leigh {Anne} have officially met – face to face!
Pioneer Women was in Portland yesterday for a cookbook signing at Powell Books in Beaverton. How could I pass up the chance to meet Ree – well, I couldn’t!
I arrived at the store at 4:00 p.m. to find 70 people ahead of me in line. Not bad seeing as there would be over 430 behind me in line by the time it started at 6:00 p.m! I got my ticket and took a seat to wait. I was one of the 150 lucky people that actually got to sit down!
I had fun visiting with people around me and my friend Dawn.
I even had several groups of cute ladies come up to me asking me if I was Your Homebased Mom – it was nice to be a little famous!
Here’s one of the cute girls!
Ree arrived at about 6:00 p.m. She was a little late as she got stuck in traffic – that happens in Portland. She did about 30 minutes of Q & A. She even did her Ethel Merman impersonation.
It was finally my turn up front, to meet Ree. She was just as lovely, funny and gracious in person as she is on her blog. And she had some pretty great looking boots on too!
I have to tell you though – my night, maybe even my week was made when she told me she recognized me! Yes, she had seen my picture when I was featured on her Tasty Kitchen Blog. Pioneer Women recognized me!!!!!
We had a fun little chat and I presented her with the gift I had made for her. I made her a pretty little cake plate! I hope it makes it back to Oklahoma in one piece!
When I saw this cute little rooster plate it just said “Pioneer Women” to me! Don’t you think?!
Check back tomorrow for a cake stand tutorial but in the mean time I have a giveaway for you!
I had Pioneer Women sign two books – one was my well used and stained copy of her cookbook and the other one was a brand new cookbook! The brand new cookbook is for one of you!
Look what she wrote in the book!!

My favorite Ree recipe? Probably Marlboro Man’s sandwich. I only made it once, but it lives in infamy at my house.
Looks like you had a delightful time.
OMG! I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book – she’s one of the best blogs ever and her recipes are AWESOME!!! I especially love her recipe for the baked lemon pasta – YUMMY!!! Thanks for the chance to win this!!!
Favorite PW Recipe – I’m thinking her cinnamon rolls – makes 7 pans of the suckers!! And the mapley, mocha-ish icing. Ambrosia!
I’m so glad you were able to go and meet her – the cake plate is adorable by the way!
Heidi Marie
Wow, you are famous! Admittedly, I have never made even a single PW recipe. I know, I’ll probably be banished from blogland now. BUT, if I had the cookbook, I’m sure I’d get crackin…
Lasagna. Hands down – best. lasagna. ever.
I have to pick just one!?! I love the apple dumplings she made with mountain dew. I also love her blackberry cobbler #1 (I make it with blue berries though). I love the Pioneer Woman!
I crave her Mexican rice!
Oh hooray for you! How fun it would have been to be there to meet BOTH of you! I have to say, I absolutely LOVE your blog. I am throwing a baby “sprinkle” this Friday at my house and I’m using 2 cupcake recipes (lemon and chocolate) from your blog as well as some of your decorating ideas. THANK YOU! I can’t wait to watch the cake plate tutorial too. Thank you so much for sharing.
I have so many I want to try. Hot crash potatoes are always a favorite at our house. I would LOVE to have this book in my home! Although it probably won’t help me lose the baby weight I have been trying to get rid of:)
Oh and oops, one of my favorite recipes is the Strawberry Shortcake Cake…OH YUM!!!!!!!!
I’m a more recent member of the Pioneer Woman fanclub, so I haven’t had much time to try her recipes. We did make the Murphy’s Hot Hamburgers purely because she waxed poetic about the gravy. (Everything’s better with gravy, right?) I would love to try out more of her stuff, though!
I’ve only tried four of her recipes and the Vanilla Bean Scones are my favorite.
Meatloaf! Cinnamon rolls! <3
I have yet to try any PW recipes. I love my cookbooks, I have quite a collection and you can certainly tell which are my favorites. I would love to add hers to my “well-used” shelf!
I’m a blog stalker, but I had to post to have a chance to win this book! 🙂 I love her mashed potatoes, yummy!
Lovin’ those boots!
Crash potatoes are one of my fav’s. Her apple dumplings are a delicious indulgence. Her brisket is really good. I definitely need to explore her recipes more though.
We loved her mashed potatoes recipe last thanksgiving. I am still wanting to make those jalepeno poppers! I just need to get over my fear of possible spice level. 🙂
Ribeyes with whiskey cream sauce OMG
I would have to say her restaurant style salsa is the current favorite. My kids can eat it like there is no tomorrow. There are many we love…chicken spaghetti, chicken parmesean, orange marmalade cake, strawberry shortcake cake and many more.
Glad you got to meet Ree. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the cake plate. I want to make one!
I’d have to say cinnamon rolls, hands down. But pretty much every recipe is delish!
What fun! Congrats on meeting PW. I love to make her Beef Drip Sandwiches. I’m not sure if the recipe is in the cookbook or just on the website, but my bunch loves them. Thanks!
Two of our favorites right now are her apple dumplings and salsa. Everyone I’ve made these for has asked for the recipes. Yummy!!!
Everything I’ve made of hers is delectible! As for my favorite – Hot Crash Potatoes.
I just made the sloppy joes. It is one of my new favorites.
Made the crash hot potatoes last night —- great recipe.
Her short rib recipe. They’re out of this world! No, really!
We love her chocolate sheet cake (though I haven’t tried yours yet for a comparison…).
I am so jealous you got to meet the pioneer woman! And that cake stand is awesome! I need a cake stand, and will definitely have to check back tomorrow for the tutorial!
Oh and I would love to win an autographed book from the pioneer woman. I would send it to my mother for mother’s day. 🙂
I have been wanting to get this book for a long time now, we love her marlboro man sandwich!
I love that Pioneer Woman! I wish I could have been there to meet the both of you! 🙂 So glad you were able to go and meet her. How fun! My favorite Pioneer Woman recipe so far is her pizza crust. Our family makes homemade pizzas now with that recipe and LOVE it!
There are WAY too many to just choose one…I love her cinnamon rolls, drip beef sandwiches, chocolate sheet cake, I could go on and on and on…

Oh and I would love to win an autographed book from the pioneer woman. I would send it to my mother for mother’s day. 🙂
And my favorite recipe of hers so far is a tie between her sour cream pancakes and her chocolate sheet cake! Or maybe the chicken spaghetti… or her chicken fried steaks… I could go on!
OK… I twittered about the giveaway! twitter.com/ohyeahthat
I am in the background of one of your photos. It was so fun meeting Ree. My favorite recipe of Ree’s has to be her chocolate sheet cake.
We love her Ranch Chicken!
I would love this book…. Please 🙂
I absolutely love your blog!!!
I just made her crumbly creamy lemon bars this weekend – they were delicious!
OMG i was soooo sad i missed her up in Seattle 🙁 Thanks for such a GREAT giveaway and the chance at a wonderful cookbook!
Love that cake plate! My favorite recipe right now is probably the restaurant salsa. I’m a bit addicted to chips & salsa, and that one is great to make with pantry items.
I LOVE her bread pudding recipe! Also, the Marlboro Man Sandwich! Yummy! Creamy Herbed Potatoes…I could go on and on, but what I would really like is her cookbook so I can stop printing the recipes off:)
You are so lucky to have met her in Portland. She hasn’t made it to Las Vegas yet. If she does, I’ll be first in line. LOVE her.
My favorite recipe, don’t laugh . . . it’s her apple dumplings. The ones with the mountain dew on them. They are YUMMY.
Please pick me. 🙂
Oh, I am so jealous! I really wanted her book for Christmas and told EVERYONE that’s what they could get me, and NO ONE did! I was a little disappointed. So, I would love to win a copy of her book.

My favorite recipe is the Chicken Parm. recipe. It tasted like it came right out of a restaurant, but I made it!
I linked up on Facebook!
My husband would be unhappy if I said anything but Marlboro Man’s sandwich!! I’m going to be reattempting her cinnamon rolls today though.
LOVE the Texas Sheet Cake Recipe (just made them this weekend for my son’s birthday… SO YUMMY) and also I love the comfort meatballs!
We love her Apple Dumplings! And love your blog!
LUCKY YOU!!! She came to SLC and I didn’t make it to her book signing 🙁
My favorite recipe is her hot crash potatoes—–and I love her beef enchiladas—–and her cinn rolls. I could just go on and on! I just love trying new food!
I LOVE her cinnamon rolls! I could eat them all day!
Her cinnamon rolls rock!
Tweeted it @mamalusco
So many favorites! Marlboro Man’s sandwich. To die for………..
I love her cinnamon rolls and the easy rosemary rolls 🙂
I would luv to meet Ree, she writes with so much humility and humor. I’m so happy for you (and to take a cute gift, classy). Ummm, choosing a favorite is tough: I’m going with the CPK BBQ chicken pizza.
Hi Leigh Anne,
That’s so cool that you got to meet PW. I bet she was impressed that you are cooking all her recipes. I love her cinnamon rolls and chicken sphagetti. Her blackberry crumble is the easiest dessert to make ever. Just finished the Postmistress and am starting the book Look again. Your cakestand is fabulous. You are so creative. Cara
I love that plate!! and I love the cinnamon rolls, who wouldn’t? thanks….Gina
When I saw her Spring signing schedule, I knew you’d be there for the Portland one:) How neat and what a nice gift you gave her. Love it, looking forward to the tutorial. One of my favorites is her BBQ Meatballs (she’s right when she says you’ll want to marry your house when it fills up with the smell of those little guys!!) with a close second being her simple fettucine alfredo…wow! Thanks!
I’ve got to admit, I can’t remember making any PW recipes right off hand, but I’m nearly certain I have. Suffice it to say that I have been hoping to make her apple dumplings for quite some time. Thanks for the giveaway and congratulations on finally meeting her (and the being recognized!)
WOW!! Lucky you to get to meet her in person. I would love a chance to win her cookbook. My favorite recipe is her apple dumplings!!!
Thanks….Judy

Fun to see you last night, Leigh Anne! I’d love the cookbook for a good friend of mine’s birthday!
Haven’t tried any of her recipes ~ more reason I need that book, so I CAN try them! So glad you got to meet her! Looked like a fun night!
I love the Pioneer Woman! I can’t believe Reese Witherspoon might play her in a movie – talk about a dream come true!
My current favorite recipe is her mac & cheese, but it changes all the time!
Good morning Leigh Anne! It was so much fun last night at Powell’s!! Thank you for sitting for a picture with my sister and I. : ) It turned out very cute. It was also kind of you to remember me from so many years ago. I now have my own signed copy of Ree’s cookbook but I would love another to give my mom as a gift (she lives in California and couldn’t join us last night). I would have to say one of my favorite recipes of PW’s are the Cowboy Calzones. The crust is fantastic!
Wow–what an awesome giveaway and I LOVE the cake stand! What a beautiful gift! My family loves her mashed potatoes!
I love the chicken spaghetti, and so do the three kids at my home, which is even more important!
I haven’t made any of PW’s recipes. I have, however, printed a ton of them out. I have plans for her favorite pizza recipe very soon. I’d love to add her cookbook to my huge collection!
Hi Leigh Anne! Great to meet you last night. Now I feel a little famous. Thanks for posting the picture of the two of us on your blog. It was such a fun and exciting night! Love the cake stand you made PW.
Girl in the red sweater 🙂
I haven’t tried that many yet, but her life by chocolate cupcakes are delicious!
Hello! I was at the PW event last night as well! I saw you walk past me just as I was chatting to my mom about your blog. You breezed by in your cute sweater and I said “I think that’s homebased mom!” My mom then told me to go say hi and sadly my introvert won over and I didn’t. It was fun to see you from afar, however. 🙂 And wasn’t Ree simply lovely? So kind and warm!
I haven’t tried any of P-Dubs recipes yet, but my mom is making one this week for my sister who is home visiting. I can’t wait!
PS. I cracked up when you featured a picture of Ree’s boots, my mom and I both took pics of them for our blogs as well!
I love the Pork Roast with Cranberry Sauce for Sunday dinner. I also loved the cinnamon rolls that I made to give away as Christmas gifts. I can’t make more, because I would eat way too many of them!
I know I’ve made a few of her recipes, but I can’t recall which. I am going to make her 4th of July pasta salad. It looks super yummy. And so many people like the dumplings, I’ll have to try them too.
My favorite PW recipe is drip beef. Heavens! It is SOOOO good. Changed my life. 🙂
cinnamon rolls!
oh gosh, her chocolate cake has got to be one of the greatest foods of all time!
I loved her turkey gravy tutorial last Thanksgiving. It was the first time I did gravy completely from scratch. It was the perfect complement to my dinner.
My kids (5 and 2) and hubby ate up the steak bites and crash potatoes. you would have thought they had not eaten in days 🙂
Glad you got to meet her and what a cute cake stand!
mmm… what do I pick the oriental salad is wonderful and
great for a crowd.
yummy and a fun blog
Ooh.. I like it! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win this cookbook – those potato skins look so delicious!!
I love the Pioneer Woman Fried Chicken among many others. Thank you for the giveaway.
[email protected]
How exciting that you got to meet Ree. But even more exciting that she got to meet you!!
Hmm, my favorite recipe? Probably her twice baked potatoes. But I really loved those little appetizers with the bacon wrapped around the club crackers also. 🙂
Well, Leigh Anne…I hope you’ll count this as my entry. I don’t have her cookbook, but was thinking about getting one since you keep referring to it. I want to try the cinnamon rolls. Hopefully this will count and I’ll win it!!!
Love the boots, love the plate. How thoughtful of you!!!
I absolutely love her Bread Pudding!!
How fun for you to meet the amazing Pioneer Women blog & recipe book author! And what a huge compliment that you were recognized as well!
Love her crash potatoes & lasagna!
Hope you don’t mind sending the book to me in AZ!
I was there too- and because I was so late arriving I was in the waaaaay back! I looked for you- but it was too crowded. In fact, I didn’t even bother to try to wait to meet her. I have not bought her cookbook yet- so I would love to win this special copy. And my favorite recipe of hers was one that you posted- the Cheesy Olive Bread- my daughter and I crave this one!
I love her crash hot potatoes, her chicken soup with rice (its one of our favs – so delicious!) and penne a la Betsy!
I would LOVE to get this cookbook!
My absolute favorite is her recipe for fried chicken! YUUUUUMMMMY!!!
So cool that you got to meet her and she recognized you!
It’s difficult to choose just one favorite…the mexican lasagna. Thanks for the chance to win this great book! Michele
I’ve never tried any of her recipes. Would love to win!
Wow Leigh Anne! What a great opportunity you had…and such a thrill! I love the cake platter you made for her, too! I would love for a chance to win that cookbook!
How did you know that I needed another cookbook? Because of course, you can never have to many! 🙂 I have actually never tried out any of her recipes but I have been hearing wonderful things about her and have been itching to give her a try. This would be a fantastic way to start.
my favorite recipe would have to be her chicken with tomatoes and garlic…sooo good!!
love the Marlboro Man sandwich. It’s my hubby’s fav.
I LOVE PW recipies. I have only tried a couple, but we are planning more soon. So far, we love love love her ranch chicken and her crispy chicken strips. Sooo tasty!
I have also facebooked about the giveaway!
WOW! You’re famous. I have not made any of her recipes, but would like the chance to try. I looked on her blog and drool over every recipe. THANKS for this chance.
I also Tweeted about the giveaway.
WOW! You’re a lucky lady (and so is PW for meeting YOU!) Fun times!
I’d love to have that cookbook. My favorite PW recipe would have to be the apple dumplings made with mountain dew.
On another note, this is my first time commenting and I MUST tell you that I really enjoy your site. I have several favorite recipes from your site but your big chewy chocolate chip cookies are my alltime favorite (and my family’s). Keep up the great work!
I love every recipe of hers that I have tried so far but my family is all over her crash hot potatoes. We eat them at least once a week!
You are so lucky to have met Ree! I think she is headed out east at some point-lucky me! Although, Leigh Anne, you are right up there with Ree in my opinion. Maybe you will be having book signings someday!
oops… was supposed to leave my favorite PW recipe. I make her steak bites w/ crash hot potatoes very often….everyone loves them.
My husbands favorite in the PW cookbook is MASHED POTATOES.
I’ve been making mashed potatoes for a zillion years and most of the time they turn out to be great. We never knew how good MASHED POTATOES could be until I made Ree’s ..you’ve got to try them…no skipping ingredients
they’ll turn out yummy every time!!!
Love those Apple Dumplings! Wish I could of made it out there last night, it just didn’t work out.
We enjoyed her restaurant style salsa and many others! Would love her cookbook!
Onion Straws
OMG I almost forgot The CHICKEN FRIED STEAK and mashed potatoes (made exactly as the recipe states) are Heavenly!!
Thanks to you, Leigh, othewise I’d never have know about this wonderful cookbook. I will treasure an autographed copy.
PW Chex Party Mix!!! My kids couldn’t get enough of it during the holidays!
I love her crash hot potatoes but I have really wanted to get her cookbook and try more of her recipes!
How awesome that you got to meet Ree! First thing I made of hers was the jalapeno poppers, but we like the way she does chicken fried steak, Marlboro Man’s Sandwich, Cinnamon Rolls, Ribeye Steak with Whiskey Cream Sauce (only I use venison!) and the one I use most often, her easy recipe for pizza crust and calzones.
OH man that is a TOUGH one! I love love love the Herbed Potatoes – every person I make them for begs for the recipe. You are so lucky you got to meet REE – she is awesome. Thanks for thinking of your readers!
I love so many of her any your recipes….but since you asked about PW’s recipes, here you go: My family LOVES the Steak Bites, Hot Crush Potatoes, Potato Bundles, Her Lasagna, Chex Mix and so many many more!
I also linked this to my FB – thanks again!
Many of them look so good! I would love win this book!!!
I just left a separate entry on Facebook for the giveaway as well!
Definitely the Quiche. One of my favorite foods. Would love the book. I gave my daughter one for her birthday, but haven’t had the chance to get one for myself. I would love to have one of those cake plates too. Very cute!
i LOVE your blog! i haven’t tried any pioneer woman recipes… yet. i would love a copy of the book so i can get started. i know i can get the recipes offline, but their is just something about having an actual cookbook!
i linked to this post via facebook
Hands down, the favorite PW recipe at my house is Marlboro Man’s Favorite Sandwich. Yummy!!
I’m so glad you got to meet PW! She’s so nice! That’s funny you also brought

Her steak bites are awesome. My husband loved them 🙂
I seldom enter giveaways (no time:( but this one caught my attention – I am soooo impressed, what a FUN day! I’ve coveted the cookbook, drooled over it at my DIL home so I must enter this giveaway. You’ll find all the following comments related to my blog posts, tweets and Facebook in a heart beat <3
Kristin
I LOVE LOVE LOVE her blackberry cobbler and her chocolate sheet cake. But I also love her pancakes, her pizza dough, etc., etc.
I am a newcomer to you site so I haven’t made many of PW recipes. I love getting the recipes. I have 5 children with 4 of them boys who have BIG appetites. I know I will be making many. Also, today is my birthday and loved your week of cakes! Hard to decide which I will make for me!! Thanks for all the great photos and I am most fond of the sweet family and friend shots. I love flowers as well!
My family loves PW’s steak bites, they just melt in your mouth!
I really like the cinnamon rolls in PW’s cookbook.
I loved the orange cake recipe you posted during cake week. It was wonderful. I can’t tell you how many times I have made the rice with lime and cilatro in it. That recipe is a favorite of mine. You have some pretty great recipes too!
My favorite has to be Pico de Gallo. Love that stuff.
What a wonderful give away!
Thanks for giving us a chance to win.
The Pioneer Woman is amazing, but you are too. I’m so glad you got to meet her in person, a bit jealous, but hey I can’t say she’s been to Vegas yet! I’d have to say my favorite recipe for her is those darn jalapeno poppers with cream cheese and bacon, YUM! Leigh Anne, keep doing what you do, b/c you do it well. You are an absolute inspiration and your spirit is translated through your blogs. Everytime I open one and read them a calm peaceful feeling comes over me and that is awesome. I bet you didn’t know that, but you have that ability. Keep it up and when is your recipe/idea book going to come out? Hugs, Jura
All tweeted up 🙂
Blogged and blogged about – pretty cute too I must say . . .
And of course it on facebook now probably about six times ;D
Sour cream pancakes!

I posted on FB. I REALLY hope I win!! 🙂

I can’t decide between her cinnamon rolls or the chocolate cake. It’s a tie!!
Her Asian noodle salad…for sure!
Cinnamon rolls! How fun that you got to meet her.
Lasagna! And I love the cake plate you made for her!
Not to be a brown noser but I have only tried a few PW recipes and haven’t had one that I would make again. Although, I do love your 59 diner pancakes. Maybe if I had her cookbook I could try more and find some good stuff.
I’m ashamed to say I’ve never tried any of her recipes…that’s why I need to win this book!
Thank you for the great giveaway!
I LOVE her fried chicken, her creamy herb potatoes, and every other recipe I’ve tried! She rocks!! Thanks for the awesome giveaway! 🙂

I love love her fresh salsa recipe, you have to try it! I really want to make it like once a week! I saw Ree in Seattle, although I was so bummed she didn’t do a Q&A for us.
I have to pick just one. I’ve only made a handful of her yummy looking recipes, but by far, the winner in my house is her Crash Hot Potatoes. I make these all the time and we all (kids included) gobble them up. Yum!
I want to be Pioneer Woman when I grow up! She rocks!
I have made the Crash Hot Potatoes several times and everyone who tries them loves them. So easy too!
I haven’t tried any of her recipes but her cinnamon rolls look divine!!! Thanks for offering this!!
WOW!!!! What an awesome giveaway!!!! I have too many to list, but I would say that blackberry cobbler #1 is probably pretty top of the list!!!!
Hmmm… I’d really liked the lemon crumb bars that were her MIL’s recipe… i made them Gluten Free and they still turned out fabulous! Even my hubby, who isn’t a fan of citrus, LOVED them!
You’re so lucky Leigh Anne! How cool that she recognized you!
I am dying to make her cinnamon rolls and chocokate cake, but I have to say that my favorite recipe of hers, that I make all the time, is Hot Crash Potatoes! They are great as a side dish or as a meal themselves!!!
The men in my family LOVE her meatballs….and any other recipe that involves BEEF!!!!!
My favorite PW recipe would be the BBQ meatballs with the oats in them instead of bread crumbs! Second up is Hot Crash Potatoes….
Hmmm, think I’ll have to try out the whole book before I pick a favorite!!!
Okay Leigh, I am seriously green with envy! I would die to meet her, in fact I think my hubby would push me out line to hug her first. He adores her and her yummy recipes. Together, our family has made many many of them. Our favorite is Cowboy Ranch Chicken! I mustn’t forget those Poppers! We cook about 200 of the for every BBQ. Friend fight over them!
I love the crash hot potatoes or cajun chicken pasta, or buttered rosemary rolls. I just can’t pick one favorite.
i am wearing THOSE BOOTS right now! absolutely love them! (they are Frye’s.) talk soon 🙂
apple dumplings!!!!!! YUM!!!!
We love her Texas sheet cake, apple dumplings and asian noodle salad.
I actually haven’t tried any PW recipes but I was just checking the website and everything looks beautiful & delicious! I’d love the cookbook!!
My favorite PW recipe is the cinnamon roll one…I hear the dough makes great rolls too. I’m a big fan of both PW and HomeBased mom!!! Thanks for the inspiration from both of you.
That’s so awesome that you met her! I need to find out her schedule and get her book!
I like the Texas Sheet Cake recipe and so do my friends who I’ve shared it with.
My favorite is the Lazy Chile Rellenos! It was fun seeing you at PW booksigning yesterday!
It’s really hard to pick just one, but probably Chicken Scallopini would be a favorite…………so far.
Wow whee a signed copy of the Pioneer Woman Cookbook as a giveaway. Would so love to win it ….

Well how exciting is that!! Wow, I’m super jealous…I’d love to meet BOTH of you 🙂
I would love to win Ree’s cookbook. I’ve purchased one in the past but ended up giving it to a girlfriend when she whined for it. LOL, okay she didn’t really whine but she did really want the book and I was happy I was able to bless her with it.
My favorite PW recipe is the Asian Noodle Salad. So good!!
I love her pizza recipes, and her Pot Roast recipe.
Holy Cow! Give away Pioneer Woman’s Cookbook and look how many people stop by!! I had fun hanging out with you Leigh Anne.
Wow i want a chance at this cook book i have fixed some of her stuff and we loved them. Thank for a chance at this and this time I really would like to win. Because I’m 190 I don’t think there is much of a chance but I will try.
I love Pioneer Woman’s blog. I just need to make more instead of druel all over my computer screen, it does save on the calories though. My favorite is apple dumplings!!!!
I love her Hot Crash Potatoes and her Texas Sheet Cake. Everything she makes looks good though. I love her!
Wow, Leigh Anne! You’ll be hard pressed to top this! Congratulations! Of course, loving the Pioneer Woman, I would LOVE to win the book!

How exciting! I would LOVE one of PW’s cookbooks and especially one that is signed! I have tried several of her recipe’s and have not been disappointed yet! Everything is so good 🙂
I have one, but this would make a great gift for me, or for my sister who’s birthday is on its way! I like a lot of things, but we just had Migas and so I’ll say that one for today!
OMG. I love the Pioneer Woman! AND I don’t have her book yet! 🙂
My favorite recipe would be the cinnamon rolls! OMG. I blogged it. 🙂
i haven’t gotten her book yet but i want to try the enchiladas! so very cool you got to meet her, bring her a gift and that she recognized you!!
That’s easy! My husband and I LOVE her Marlboro Man Sandwitch. I’ve always had so many packages of cube steak setting in the freezor because its so boring to cook. Not any more. I serve the meat mixture on those skinny, little frozen garlic bread that has been broiled with swiss cheese melted on both sides. YUMMY!! I don’t have her book yet and would love one.
They all look delicious…I follow her blog but have never gotten to try one of the recipes…the cookbook would be the perfect way to start 🙂
cinnamon rolls, of course.
Love, love her Crispy Yogurt Chicken!! Go try it!!!
Have tried many–probably Beef Drip sandwiches–delicious!
Congrats on being recognized by Ree Drummond!! Now THAT’s something! And your beautiful gift will look perfect at her Lodge. Maybe someday you’ll see the plate in one of HER photos.
I love Pioneer Woman’s Hearty White Chili… even my picky teenager enjoys it. Of course we serve it with YOUR Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread. Yum. I don’t have her cookbook yet… but have been thinking it would be awesome to have! Sounds like you have really enjoyed your copy.
I would love to win this book and try her receipes. I have made some of yours and maybe they came from this book.
Wow! What a thrilling day!
I would love to win a copy! She is so awesome. 🙂 So are her boots, and her kitchen…..
Just one? Cheesy Olive Bred for me and Apple Dumplings for my family.
That is SO cool that the two famous great cooking and blogging women got to meet face to face!!
It’s easy to say which PW recipe I love…….it’s one that got me a LOT of hugs from my family at Easter dinner this year……
It’s her Creamy Mashed Potatoes! Oh my!!!
My favorite recipe…the BEST Lasagna Ever!
How fun!
Just one favorite? Impossible! The first one that popped into my head, though, was her apple dumplings. Fast, easy, and heavenly!
How can I pick just one? Seriously! I’d have to say Ree’s Orange Rolls. My favorite.
Her recipe that I make most often is her blackberry cobbler, although I make it with all different kinds of frozen berries, including blackberry. Love it!
How did I not know Pioneer Woman was here yesterday?! Man, I’d love that book. Glad you got a good seat and congrats on your recognition – well deserved. 🙂
(one of) my favorite PW recipes – Chicken with mushrooms and artichokes. I could eat it every day!
I must be living under a rock, I didn’t know the PW was in town! UGH. I love her recipe for cinnamon rolls! Yumm-O.
Oh, btw ~ loved the Cake Plate, how cute is that?
I just linked to this post on my blog for an extra entry. I love the cake plate and am super excited to make one. Thanks for sharing.
Most favorite is The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake. Ever. – it really is the best.
But I love everything I have tried- specifically crash hot potatoes and short ribs.
I LOVE this book- checked it out from our local library and looked through it a dozen times at the book store. But I have yet to snag a copy- even though it is always on my wish list!!! Thanks for the chance to win it.
I would love her book. I just made her Chicken with Mushrooms and artichokes last night. My family loved it. I love so many of her recipes and yours too.
Apple Dumplings
I made her Strawberry Jam this past Christmas and gave it out as gifts, it was a huge hit-delicious and easy what more could you ask for? Also the Biscuits and Gravy are a given, they is so good!
I haven’t had the guts to dive into her recipes. But I really want to.
My family love her texas sheet cake. I love both of your blogs. How exciting that you met her!
So freakin’ COOL!!!
My fave recipe is probably her chocolate sheet cake.
Chocolate sheet cake
Ok…I so want to win this one! As you know, I was unable to go to the signing. I heard you met my friend Kristen tho! My favorite recipe is the rosemary pan rolls. Can’t help it. Bread is my cake!
What a fun day you had! That would be fun to meet Ree in person…..Loved her boots…good eye!
Okay so my favorite recipe from PW is………….
The Shrimp Pasta in Foil pack…..being 100% Italian pasta is a mainstay in my kitchen….and this recipe is very easy, and oh so delicious!!!
Thanks for the chance to win her book! Have a happy day.
Enchiladas! And the carrot cake! Oh the carrot cake!
I love her cinnamon rolls, but I have tried several of her recipes and I don’t think I have found one yet that I don’t like! Thanks for the chance to win one of her cookbooks!
Looks like you had a great time!
My favorite recipe from PW currently is:
Marlboro Man’s Favorite Sandwich (my hubby loves this one too).
Although I really want to try 1. Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce and 2. Penne a la Betsy.
Thank you for the chance to win!
I can only pick one?????!!!!! The perfect pound cake is sooooo delicious! I made it four times in one week!
I wish I had been there! I love her recipes!
My favorite PW recipe is definitely the Peach Crisp with the yummy maple cream sauce!!
My favorite recipe would have to be her lasagna… it’s easy easy but sooo delicious!!!!
I’d have to say cinnamon rolls!!!
I cannot wait to try the chocolate cake recipe! Thanks for all the wonderful recipes!
Thank you for the thoughtful give away! I love the apple dumplings, who would have thought Mountain Dew! A friend made them for my birthday last week! What a treat. I also love her pumpkin spice muffins. Thank you so much for your generosity!
Two of my favorite blogs – Your Homebased Mom AND Pioneer Woman – you are both so creative and inspirational! How great that the two of you finally got to meet in person.
My favorite PW recipe is her Sheet Cake (and I’m planning on making yours soon too to compare)! Would love to win this cookbook!
I don’t need to win the book as I have my own copy already, but my favorite recipe is her apple turnovers. Maybe that’s not what she calls it, but it’s the one where you pour Mt. Dew (I used Sprite) on top of the little guys.
I would have been just as happy to have seen you at the bookstore as I would have been to see Ree (I promise I’m not stalking you!). You’re both equally famous in my book, and I think I’ve used more of your recipes than I have of hers! Besides, you’re more accessible!
Our whole family made the crash potatoes all last summer!
I would love to have the cookbook–then I wouldn’t have to run back and forth between my computer and kitchen when making a recipe! I’ve used more of your recipes, because a lot are coming to mind from your blog. 🙂 But I do like the zucchini fritters.
I have to say her Mashed potatos is my favorite. Yum yum. The family loves them.
Love those Crash Potatoes and many others!
Just watched your video on the cake plates. Can’t wait to go to the Goodwill Store today!
Love both your blogs!
Started with your website first and now have both sites bookmarked. Loved all the recipes that I have tried from PW and your site, can’t decide which is my very favorite. The rooster cake plate is very pretty. Thanks for all the great recipes, have shared your site with all my friends.
the marlboro man sandwich recipe! yum!
I “heart” PW. My fav recipe?? there are many, but I LOVE her sheet cake.
Please pick me! I waaaaaant that! Anything with “cake” in the title!!
Those cinnamon rolls sounds wonderful…and my friend made me a cake plate like that – it’s GREAT!
I have tried soooo many of hers, but I would have to say it is the sheet cake. She is my fav., thanks and I LOVE your blog, I just found you a few months ago!!!
Thanks for a chance to win.
Unfortunately, I don[‘t have a favorite.
I haven’t seen her book, but by the sounds of it I NEED IT!
Thanks for a great blog!!!
Her cheese biscuits, but with less cheese!
I love the crash hot potatoes and creamed spinach!
I love the Texas sheetcake to but the cinnamon rolls and the onion strings are what I am trying next!!!
I just made her Chicken Parm recipe last night!! I love her recipes!
Pastor’s Chicken Tikka Masala, and the sushi tutorials for my hubba.
My favorite recipe of PW is Rainbow cupcakes and to wash it down with Texas Margaritas. 🙂
I love her Hot Crash Potatoes…but we are trying to stay away from carbs right now too. 🙁 The Italian Drip Beef is awesome…but it calls for making sandwiches (delish!) so I am trying to think of a different way to enjoy it with0ut eating it on a sandwich…
That is so sweet of you! I would love to win!!!! Thanks!
I think she had me hook, line and sinker when I had the My Most Favorite Salad Ever. Ever, Ever, Ever! Love it. My family loves it. Crash hot potatoes, Bread Pudding, Monday Night Stir Fry, Apple Dumplings, Baked Acorn Squash, Chocolate Truffles, anything we have tried we have liked. Thanks for the chance to win!
I just posted about it on my blog.
Hey! I’m a newcomer to your blog, and am loving it!
My favorite recipe of Ree’s is the Marlboro Man Sandwich. Yummmmmmy!
My favorite has got to be chicken and rice. It is so yummy.
I love the BBQ meatballs!

I’m Nancy’s Mom.
Our family’s favorite recipe is, “The Best Sheet Cake Ever”. I always made it so I could take some to a party and still have enough to leave for the children at home. I would leave the edges of the cake for them so the squares were alway perfectly shaped. I would love to share more recipes from the cookbook with my family to make up for their always getting the scraps!
My favorite is her homemade ranch dressing. So fresh and tasty!
Hands down, her Cinnamon rolls. They are delicious.
Thank you for such a wonderful website. I look forward
to your recipes, and all the info. and hints you provide to
everyone.
God bless,
Char
Definately her Brisket recipe!!
I love her Chicken spaghetti…. it’s freakin’ fantastic!
I cannot choose just one…restaurant style salsa, apple dumplings, choc sheet cake, crash hot potatoes to name a few. Would love to see more! Thanks for entering me.
love her creamy mashed potatoes…..made 40 lbs of them for Thanksgiving! Yum!
Ice Cream Pie with Easy Caramel Sauce. Haven’t tried it yet but I plan to soon. Sounds YUMMY!
Definitely Lasaqgna! Best ever!

I can’t believe you are giving away a copy of the Pioneer Women cookbook!! I have to get me one of these. My favorite recipe so far is her hot crash potatoes. They are awesome!! I even had this book on my Christmas list and didn’t get it. If I don’t win this contest, birthday is coming up and I’ll be giving my husband either the web site or your phone number. Ha! Ha! Great article Leigh Anne!!
Just discovered PW through you. Entering the giveaway because I am looking for a little happy surprise in life, winning the cookbook would do the trick.
Posted link on my Facebook. Pick me, pick me!
You’ve opened my eyes to a whole new world! I had to google, Pioner Women and WOW..guess I have a few more ideas for dinner tonight!
I love her cinnamon rolls, salsa and lasagna!! Would love to win a signed copy of her cookbook!! Also, LOVE your cake plate video! I’m not crafty at all but your video has inspired me!
I love the stuffed jalepeno pepper recipe. (The ones with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon). Delicious! The Pioneer Woman has lots of great recipes, though! Hard to choose a favorite.
Love her recipes (Texas Sheet Cake!) and your cake stands! I’m making one today!
I live in Oklahoma and have yet to meet her! My favorite recipe is the Cowboy Calzones.
I think I saw PW on Studio 5??? Somewhere anyway but I haven’t tried any of her receipes yet. Look an sound tempting–KW
It’s a toss up between the Marlboro Man sandwich and the amazing brownies with the inch of frosting.
I love all her stuff! She is wonderful!
My favorite are her apple dumplings!
Fav PW recipe…. bacon wrapped club crackers! Oh My!!!!
If I had this cookbook, I would add a few more for sure!
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Traci
linked this post to my facebook as well! Thanks for being so amazing!

I am new to the Pioneer Woman Cookbook. My sister visited and made us dinner using her Tomato, Artichoke Pasta recipe. It was delicious. Never knew I would like artichokes.
I LOVE her potato recipes – I’m a potato girl all the way! I also am all about the pasta too. I would love this book!
Mashed Potatoes..yum!
The baked lemon pasta looks wonderful! Thank you for offering the book!
Oh, to just pick one of her recipes as a favorite? That’s hard! But I’ll go with the chocolate sheet cake. How can you lose with chocolate?!
Ooh, what fun! I love her stuff!
My favorite is the Lasagan!! Yum!
The Apple Dumplings covered in Mt. Dew and sugar. *faint*
The coffee cake is my all-time favorite, though I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve made!
Stuffed jalapenos have got to be the favorite! Bacon, cream cheese, cheese, bbq sauce what’s not to love?!
I am completely new to but totally intregued by Pioneer Woman. I may just have to try the cinnamon rolls (yum!).
I love those bacon wrapped jalapeno peppers stuffed with cream cheese and thrown on the grill. In fact, I’m making them tomorrow night for my husbands “man/carnivore party”.
I love the Pioneer Woman and would love to win a copy of her cookbook. I also love the Apple Dumplings made with the mountain dew. It is to die for!!
I’ve wanted this book!
Hubby likes her recipe for Marlboro Man’s favorite Steak Sandwich and I like her Olive Cheese Bread.
Spaghetti with Artichokes–Easy but delicious and impressive!
Mashed potatoes!
My favorite recipe of Pioneer Woman’s is her ranch chicken…yum!
I never win but I would LOVE this! I love her strawberry shortcake cake!
I posted this on my blog
I made her lemon crumb bars and they were fantastic.
Maple Nut Scones are one of our favorites in this family!
That is so cool that she recognized YOU! Rock star! I love this woman. I read everything she writes and watch every show she is on. Hands down our family’s favorite recipe, but it will probably make you gag knowing your aversion, is the bacon wrapped meatloaf and the very labor intensive, but oh so worth it, mashed potatoes. You take a hunk of meat and then wrap it in 12 slices of bacon?! I thought my husband was going to ask me to marry him all over again. Honestly, I haven’t made one of her recipes that my family hasn’t liked. (Really trying to avoid the cinnamon rolls out of pure caloric fear!)
This week I made the monkey bread recipe that is actually Pastor Ryan’s recipe and it was to die for!! I have tried and loved many of PW’s recipes though.
have a chicken recipe I use of Pioneer cook. linda gerig
