The Pioneer Woman: Cookbook

Okay, I'm a little obsessed right now so bear with me.

Blog Post 3 Re: Pioneer Woman.

I have to say, hands down, I love (LOVE!) this cookbook! I've already made the BBQ Jalapeno Poppers - easy and delicious!

All the recipes seem very easy and use common pantry items. Unlike some cookbooks that require japanese ingredients that can only be found in specialty stores and cost an arm and a leg.

Real ingredients = Real food

And if you don't have, say, buttermilk, she trys to give you substitutions. I love that.

The only thing you have to watch is sometimes the recipe serves a lot more then you might need to cook for. One example would be the yummy looking cinnamon rolls. There are only two of us in my house so using the recipe as-is, would yeild 40-50 rolls. Good Lord! I don't need an abundence of cinnamon rolls hanging around. My midsection is already crying for help. So I adjust.

I didn't get a chance to take pictures last night before the poppers were gone, but next time I make them, I'll try to share (at least visually).

Buy this book. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
