Food from My Frontier: A Giveaway

· · 3,062 Comments

Enter to win one of three signed copies of Ree Drummond’s newest book The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier.

Three years ago I finally bit the bullet and published my very first blog post, not knowing and only dreaming of the changes it would hold in turning a passion into a career and leaving behind the world of typing others’ words in order to have the opportunity to get my own down and out there.

Along the way, I’ve held tightly to friends I know and trust, been introduced to wonderful, caring people who I am lucky enough to call friends, and I’ve laughed and cried and thanked God repeatedly for the opportunity to do what I do from publishing that first post and daring to dream, all the way to sending my own cookbook off to the printer and sitting on my hands to keep from biting my nails over the anticipation of its arrival.

In the process of writing my book I was forced to go blurb hunting. Far more painful and difficult than any other task in the entire process of writing a cookbook filled with sweet treats was asking someone else to read it and comment on it, even though I knew this was the eventual result of writing a book in the first place.

One of the people I asked happened to be someone I’d met shortly after my first year of blogging and who had some experience writing a cookbook of her own. (Plus, I knew she was in love with mason jars.) Rather than roll her eyes at my request, she was over the moon with excitement for me and my book, even in the midst of publishing her own.

Ree’s Strawberry Jam and Canning 101

It’s today that Ree publishes her newest book, and I am so excited that I get to share it with you! In lieu of everything I said above, it seemed only right that I’d talk about a recipe in her book that uses mason jars, right?

In addition to pizzas (carnitas pizza, anyone?), pastas, plenty of delectable sweet breakfast foods for dessert, salads, and and entire section dedicated to “supper” that made my husband smile (dinner is reserved for Sunday dinner, you see), Ree included a bit of canning how-to in her book, encouraging readers to get back to basics and make a few put-ups for the shelf.

If you’re just dipping your toe into the canning world, a simple strawberry jam is the perfect place to start. Whether you intend to spread it liberally on biscuits in the morning, scrape it onto perfectly toasted bread or heat it up and drizzle it over ice cream, homemade strawberry jam is just the thing for keeping a few of those spring strawberries at hand after the season has changed.

A Giveaway!

Ree, bless her heart, has graciously offered up three copies of The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier that she will personally sign and mail off to you herself!

  27. Ree makes recipes that families enjoy, and don’t cause special trips for “specialized” ingredients. Watching her show and reading her blogs makes me want to meet her in person, such a great sense of humor and the love she has for her family…she is a remarkable person!

  51. I would LOVE to have a copy of Ree’s cookbook. I asked for one for Christmas, but my husband and son were unable to find a copy anywhere in Baton Rouge. If I won a copy, it would be like Christmas in March 🙂

  56. I would love to win this cookbook but if I don’t congrats to the winner. My family loves watching your show . My 7 year old triplets watch it with me.Thanks for offering this prize.

  60. I bought one of her cookbooks and now my daughter wants one. I would love to win this for her.
    We have made some of the dishes in the other book and liked them. My daughter is just starting her own family.

  70. Do you wonder how PDub finds the energy for everything she accomplishes? I surely do! Her last book did not disappoint, the Food Network Show is on Tivo permanently…and I look forward to this new book too. We love Ree’s recipes here!

    • Follow the canning rules carefully. As Ree says the “Ball Blue Book” is the best place to start. They are not hard to follow. The food tastes amazingly good compared to store bought. The best part for me has always been knowing exactly what is in that jar of food I am giving my family.

  83. I would love to have PW’s book, I have made almost every dish in her first, many several times. I would love to have her new one as well!

  111. My fiance is a huge proponent of the idea that the revolution will be coming soon, and he’s very into self-sustainment ideas. I bet the canning and preserves section would be a very good way to convince him that I NEED this cookbook!

  113. I just love everything about Ree! She’s so funny & so talented… a foodie’s dream. Thanks for the sneak peak, can’t wait to try the jam. Thank you 🙂

  137. I owuld love to win a copy of this book! I have her first one and just love all the pictures and the step by step instructions and of course all of her stories! 🙂

  141. What a beautiful blog you have, and I cannot wait to get my hands on Ree’s new cook book – her first one is proudly on display next to my KitchenAid! You girls are just talking me right into it with all these fabulous looking recipes!

  157. I read Ree’s website daily. I have all of her books so far. I have pre-ordered her new cookbook already but if I win I would give one of them to a friend and keep the one she signs for me!

  184. I LOVE the step by step pictures that she uses. I love knowing that I can “check my work” as I go along in my cooking process. I also love that she is not perfect and admits it.

  231. My kids watched her Food Network episode where they made this jam and have wanted to try it ever since!! I am going to have to get this cookbook one way or the other…but it would be fabulous to win a signed copy!!

  236. Would love to win this cookbook! My whole family loves her show! My twins were so excited to get her book about Charlie the dog. They would be thrilled with her cookbook and autographed!

    Good Luck everyone!

  241. I absolutely love her! I watch her show in tv all the time!

    Thank you for the chance to win!
    my fiance and I just bought our first house! Would love to make him some good dinners and snacks!!

  242. I love her Corn and Cheese Chowder. I made it a couple weeks ago for the first time and then I’ve made it once a week since. It’s soooo easy and so comforting. It’s ‘knock your socks off’ good!

  247. I would love to win an autographed copy of her new book! Even better would be if I could go to one of the stores for a book signing so I could meet her in person. Maybe someday…

  251. Would love to have a signed copy of Ree’s new cookbook to add to my collection; her recipes are so interesting and inviting. Hope to have the luck of the Irish!

  253. I have been wanting to make her cinnamon rolls, but we don’t drink coffee and I’m not sure what to use as a substitute. Any suggestions? I would love to have her new cookbook, thanks for the chance to enter!

  263. Ree’s cookbook would be a great addition to my cookbook “library”..I love collecting cookbooks and sitting a looking at the pictures and trying all the recipes! Fun!!

  291. Every summer as a child, we would spend a day at a U-Pick farm and come home with berry stained fingers (and lips) and my mom would make all sorts of jams. I have never taken the leap and done it myself, but this might be the first summer I try it!

  314. That strawberry jam looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing the story of how Ree was happy to lend a hand when you asked for her advice about publishing your cookbook even though she was in the middle of publishing her own. That just goes to prove what a nice person she is. Your Desserts in Jars cookbook looks amazing! I’ll be sure to check it out.

  315. Strawberry jam canning reminds me of my Mom (she’s passed) and making jam with my daughter! There is nothing like homemade strawberry jam.

  337. I’ve been hearing about PW for several months before I stumbled on her blog by following a link from another food blog. And guess what happened? Instant addiction.

  344. I would love to win Ree’s book. I had been on her website on & off but once I started watching her on Food Network I felt like I knew her. “meeting” her family & seeing how funny she is – I was hooked. Not to mention I love her recipes. Thanks for the chance to win her book.

  362. I have already been dipped in the canning world (120+ Quarts of Tomatoes last year and that is only the beginning!) But I have to say this is a recipe I will be trying this year, even if I have to buy the strawberries (plants didn’t do great last year)!!!! Thanks for another recipe hit!!

  390. I love Ree! I am so excited to get my hands on her new cookbook!!
    I’m excited this one includes a “canning” section. I’ve always wanted to, but I am intimidated by it. Hopefully her steps will help me with that 😉

  392. Oh I would love to win a copy! I read Ree’s blog faithfully and have been anxiously awaiting the new book. Thank you for the wonderful chance to win!

  397. So excited for a chance to win her cook book. I’m also excited to look through all of the food blogs listed to find some new scrumptious recipes. Thank you!

  403. Ree Drummond is a genius and I am channeling Ethel Merman today in her honor (and making her New York Chopped Salad for lunch)!

    margueritecore [at] gmail [dot] com

  412. Ree has definitely gotten me into cooking for my family again. I love her straightforward delicious recipes. It would be great to have this cookbook!

  420. I grew up with a mom who made homemade raspberry jelly every summer and to this day I still snag a few jars from her freezer every time I go home. I guess one of these days I’ll need to attempt to make it myself – can’t wait to get my hands on Ree’s new cookbook!

  441. This would be such a perfect March 17th birthday gift. In spite of the name and the birthdate I am actually of Finnish descent. I love Ree’s recipes, writings on all of her blogs.

  453. I can’t wait to read Ree’s newest cookbook. I have her first and have had great successes with many of her recipes. This jam looks like a winner as well!

  455. I could have used that homemade jam last week! I made strawberry cupcakes with strawberry buttercream (just added strawberry jam to a regular buttercream recipe) but I would have loved a homemade version! Thanks for the recipe post and the back story… so sweet! Love Ree and love your blog!

  474. Thanks for the chance to win Ree’s new cookbook…and autographed even! Can’t wait to check out more of the recipes and her witty stories. Thanks again!

  483. I love how you can be reading one blog and then they link it to another and before you know it you have a whole handful of new favorites!!

  503. The Pioneer Woman and her website has changed the way I cook. My college aged son now uses her website and makes her Enchiladas and pizza dough. Without her step-by-step instructions & pictures he would still be eating cereal for dinner!

  550. I want this cookbook so much, I asked for it for Christmas!! Last year! Totally forgot it didn’t come out until 2012. The girl I told about it looked high and low for it!! Until finally someone told her it hadn’t been released yet. I am getting married in August and can’t wait to start cooking for my man. The recipes from Ree are a big hit with him so far. (I’ve got her first book)

  588. Not only do I love Ree, her books, her recipes,her show, etc…..my hubby does too! He keeps waiting for her to have another cooking weekend at the Lodge that we can go to. He would just be beside himself if we won a SIGNED copy of the cookbook from Ree!

  595. Every year we pick strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries to make HOMEMADE jam. We also pick apples and make HOMEMADE applesauce and apple butter. My family and friends LOVE my HOMEMADE gifts we give to them on random days :s My 3 yr old son brings a snack (homemade applesauce or jams) for his friends at day care Tuesday to Thursday 😀

  613. Ree is so down-to-earth and her fun loving personality and super user-friendly recipes just make me happy and inspired to keep cooking. Sure hope I’m a lucky winner!

  616. I totally want her cookbook! If I don’t win a copy, I’m definitely going to buy a copy. And maybe send it to her. And ask her to sign it for me. If she wants to though, I would never force her! O:

  619. I love making jam! Strawberry, apricot and blackberry are my favorites. I give it out every year for Christmas gifts 🙂 I love the Pioneer Woman too!!

  624. I love Ree so much. Not only is she a great cook, she’s a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, etc. She works hard to give her family as much of herself as she can, and I admire that so very much. May God always bless her an keep her.

  646. I have wanted to start canning for awhile now (and even have mason jars! they’re great for EVERYTHING!!!), this cookbook would be the push I need to get my hiney in the kitchen and starting makin’ some jam! (Like I need a reason for jam! HA!)

  668. I haven’t canned in years, but it looks like it will be a bountiful summer, so I may try my hand at it again. I hope it’s like riding a bike…you never forget the basics.

  669. I LOVE PW and I love how she promotes her blogger friends (like you) if it had not been for her, I would have missed out on some FANTASTIC blogs!

  676. I love homemade jam, and I’m excited to be able to can again this year! Love, love, love PW, I hope I win her book and to have it signed is just too awesome!

  678. I hope there are more canning recipes in the book. I’ve been getting into it for the past few years, but it’s hard without a place for a garden!

  684. I love PW! I use her first cookbook so often that the binding is coming off. 🙂 I am looking forward to getting the new one and trying all the recipes! I have yet to find one that we didn’t like!

  700. I have an autographed copy of her first cookbook, but it doesn’t look like she’s hitting my hometown on this book tour. I’d love for you to send me a signed copy of her new one!

  717. The jam looks excellent. My basment is currently stocked with 70+ jars of applesauce from last fall so I may be all canned out. Pioneer Woman has inspired me to go more country myself.

  728. I love the ‘From the patio’ section on your blog. I have made many of those yummy recipes. I use Ree’s first cookbook just about every week. Would love to win the 2nd one. Thanks for giving me the chance.

  746. I just received The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl last week as a birthday gift! I can’t wait to get this one too! She is such an inspiration to me as the “pioneer woman” is coming out in me!

  754. I can’t wait to see all of the pics in the new cookbook and that will happen a lot quicker if I win than if I have to wait for Mother’s Day!!

  756. I’ve enjoyed the first Pioneer Woman cookbook & look forward to her new offering. Thank you for the preview! I especially love her gorgeous step-by-step photos.

  774. I would love to win Ree’s book. I watch “Pioneer Woman” every Sat. morning on Food Network and love her “simple, yet scrumptious” recipes.

  775. i’d love to win this book! i have a signed copy of her first cook book, but sadly, she isn’t coming close to nashville on her upcoming book tour.

  795. I would love to win such a fun prize! She is such a neat person to follow! Congrats on the success of your food blog…someday I too will take the plunge and publish my first recipe on a food blog of my own…for now I just marvel at and admire those like you who have had such success!

  799. Caught Ree on Today this AM and looking forward to seeing her on The Chew tomorrow. Unfortunately, she’s skipping Portand, OR this time on her book tour. Would LOVE a personalized book. Got to see so many cool blogs through this contest. Thanks!!!!

  804. I would feel honored to receive Ree’s cookbook signed in a giveaway, as I will not be near any of her planned book signing locations, am so excited it is really out!

  809. I would be completely stoked to get a copy of her cookbook! The cinnamon rolls 101 post from her website is breathtaking. I dream of those cinnamon rolls…

  820. I got her last cookbook at her signing in Atlanta on my birthday. My birthday is March 12th and this would make an AWESOME birthday present this year. I also met Marlboro mand and their boys. Beautiful family. Ree was so sweet and funny. We all had our pictures made with her. Great birthday!

  821. I would love to have this one for my collection! I make so many of her recipes and now, my daughter called last night and said …..’mom, I LOVE Pioneer Woman!’ 🙂

  824. Canning has always seemed so intimidating to me! I have gone so far as to purchase everything I need to start…except the nerve to actually start it! I hope the book gives me the step-by-step photos to guide me through it.

  828. The pulled pork recipe looked interesting this morning, I guess if we can add pineapple apricot jam to rib sauce she can add Dr. Pepper to Pulled pork! Would love to have her latest book, have read her “Romance” and enjoy her first cook book!

  834. Would love to win a cookbook. Saw a posted picture of her messy island today. She’s a cook after my daughter’s heart. Although it looks like Ree’s island is a bit bigger than hers.

  837. I had forgotten that my first attempt at jam, and canning, was with Ree’s cookbook next to me, covered with saran wrap as not to ruin the pages in the book. I was proud enough to give them as Christmas goodies in mason jars, of course!

  858. i would love love love a copy of this cookbook!! i’m obsessed with the pioneer woman (not in a creepy way.. in a ‘i can’t miss her show or miss reading her blog’ kind of way 🙂

  874. I am dying to get this book…she is so very awesome and her recipes are very down to earth and what my family enjoys. Her restaurant salsa is one of my all time favorite finds. My family thinks I am the best ever when I fix it!

  897. I got hooked on her blog after making her sheet cake as seen in a magazine. Finally bought her first cookbook and have made so many recipes. DVR her show every week!

  905. Reading her blog is my little piece of sanity and big piece of dinner inspiration everyday. Would love to add her new recipe book to my collection!

  906. I have fallen in love Ree Drummond. My life has kind of turned out like hers, funny enough. I grew up in Oklahoma, and then moved away from east coast to west coast and then came back home and of all things that my family never thought I’d do, I fell in love with a farmer, my Tall Man, we live on a farm a few miles from town 30 mins from a walmart. For a girl who loved city I now love the quiet of the farm, love watching my girls outside with the cattle. I have become quite the cook, and my husband loves my cooking and his favorite cookbook is the Ree’s the pioneer woman cooks. I’d love to add her new book to my kitchen!!!

  941. I totally adore Ree. She’s like a good friend,,,,whom I have never met. haha.. I’ve been following her blog for a few years now and she makes me chuckle on a daily basis. I’ve never made a recipe of her’s that wasn’t worthy.

  944. I can’t wait to own her new cookbook. I use her first one so much, the pages are all wrinkled and bent! And water damaged….and food damaged…

  969. Yummy strawberries. Spring brings such wonderful things. I know spring does not begin officially until the 20th but the weather here says it is Spring. Thanks for the chance to win a cookbook.

  982. I think Ree Drummond is just great — I’ve been reading her blog for years. Have tried several of her recipes as well. Would love to have her new cookbook.

  1036. I love the PW’s website. I love the step-by-step pictures. Gives me an idea of how things “should” look, even if they don’t always look that way. 🙂

  1052. So very excited about Ree’s new cookbook!!! Can’t wait to make some deliciousness from this one 🙂 how awesome would it be to have a signed copy 🙂

  1061. I would love a copy of her new cookbook. I bought the first one, gave it to a friend, bought myself another one…..I’m now on the fourth book. Hopefully, I could keep this one!

  1083. Thanks for the canning tips, I really would like to get into it, seeing that I cook so much and it would come in handy!! Love the pioneeer woman, too!!

  1100. I love the idea of getting a copy of this book. Living in the country like Ree does makes if hard to get to town 2 hours away to pick up a copy…one in the mail would be great! LOVE HER from one ranch wife to another.

  1110. I need to clean out my oven, build a green house, put up a deer fence, put in a deer resistant garden, and win the lottery! Then I will be able to spend the time I want on home steading like Ree!!! I sure would like a copy of her new cook book.

    Thanks,

    A

  1140. I cant wait to see this cookbook. I love making new recipes for my family and my daughter loves seeing the dogs. 🙂 Basset Hounds are from heaven.

  1143. I purchased Ree’s first cookbook not knowing anything about her or her book, and I have enjoyed reading the book as well as cooking up many of the recipes. I’d love to win a copy of her second cookbook! Thanks!

  1158. I would love to win this signed copy of Rees new cookbook. But if I don’t win, I will definitely add it to my cookbook collection along with her first cookbook.

  1164. You know, I always wanted to learn how to can but it has always sacred me a little. Maybe this summer I will finally bite the bullet and give it a shot!

  1167. Love Ree and follow her on a daily basis. Salsa rocks, steak bites are a big hit, crash hot potatoes YUMMO, basic pizza dough wonderful….I could go on and on.

  1173. Yay! I’ve been waiting for this to come out! My Book Club met last night, and we discussed where and when Ree should come to MI. (Mid-April in Grand Rapids)

  1178. I grew up part of my childhood in the same town Ree did and have very fond memories of that area, the wonderful people and agriculture lifestyle there. Her father operated on my mom’s ankle waaayy back and saved her foot! Thanks for your blog adn supporting other great blogs. You all have done a great job!

  1185. I adore Ree and everything she stands for! I’m so excited that she wrote another cookbook. She continues to amaze and inspire me to do new things each day.. Mainly cook and then eat, but that’s okay right? 😉

  1191. Ree never ceases to amaze me. She has grown into a phenomenon over the years. From her sense of humor to her cooking, she has been a great inspiration to many women who dare to blog. Thank you for the giveaway! Love your blog! – Susan

  1211. Cool contest. Unfortunately, I’m not qualified to join because of the geographical location. Do you plans of extending some contests to people from other countries? I’d like to join someday.

    -Ian

  1219. I can’t wait to read the canning section of her cookbook. I’ve always wanted to try to make some homemade jam and I’m sure this be be just the inspiration that I need. Thanks for the giveaway!

  1247. I just loved her first cookbook and it is front and center when I want to try out a recipe that I know my family will love. That’s why I am so excited about her new book. I enjoy reading her blog every day, and I don’t even get on Face Book that often! LOL

  1251. Kismit! I think I just fell in love with you (not romantically of course), but I think I was suppose to read this post (and maybe win a cookbook too). 🙂

  1260. Ree is amazing and keeps me laughing all the time. I’m always checking out blogs she recommends and am looking forward to getting to know yours too.

  1276. Every summer I vow that I’ll can a few things for winter. I’ve only ever canned spaghetti sauce. My mom made the most wonderful canned strawberry jam when we were kids.

  1277. The strawberry jame looks wonderful and I think I’ll add it to my list of things to try soon. Love to see so many people like you and Ree make a success out of what they love.

  1292. Your intro in this post brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes. A testament to the life we can create when we hold to the path that feels right and authentic for each of us. Thank you for reminding me! In gratitude….

  1302. I love Ree and am an avid reader of her blog. I’m not able to get to one of the cities that she is having a signing party, so I’m hoping I can win an autographed copy.

  1317. I can’t wait to read through her new cookbook and make her wonderful recipes! I love her first one, the pages are all splotched up with food spills! You can tell which cookbook is my favorite! hahaha!

  1328. I loved her first cookbook and can’t wait to get my hands on either the actual cookbook or wait till the ebook comes out. Such good recipes!

  1350. It’s taking every ounce of self-control not to run out and BUY IT TODAY. But the thought of a signed copy makes me swoon. I love me some Pioneer Woman, that’s for sure. Thanks for the fun giveaway!

  1357. Just saw Ree for the first time today on ‘the Chew’ and was soo impressed with not only her cooking, but her personality. I would love to have a copy of her cookbook, my own cowboy loves her style of food.

  1360. I’ve been a canner for a while and love to make strawberry jam/preserves. I once carried an entire flat of strawberries home on the plane because they were so sweet. They made the BEST jam.

  1362. I’ve already preordered my copy, but I have 5 sisters and many friends that I would gladly give a copy to. My library purchased 2 copies to start with and all librarians have oh’d and ah’d over it already.

  1383. Can’t wait to try out Ree’s new cookbook! Her last one is well used in my home, and I was luckily enough to meet her at a book signing in Kansas City a few years ago! Thanks!

  1413. I would like to try canning…I actually just had toast with strawberry jam! Sadly, it wasn’t “homecanned” though. Thanks for the recipe and I’m going to have to get a copy of Ree’s new book one way or t’other! 🙂

  1421. I’m so thrilled to see that you are offering a chance to win a signed copy of Ree’s new book – I waited in line to have her sign her last book, only to have to leave early, because my dear husband had taken me, and had somewhere else to go. Ah, well, I’ve still got her book and her recipes, and gave three of the first book as Christmas gifts. Love it! Thank you!

  1423. my sweet momma used to make a rhubarb/strawberry jam using wild strawberry jello–kinda thin but oh so nice on warm biscuits and butter 🙂

  1447. I stumbled upon her on the Food Network. Then I googled her and was in love. I love to bake and my friends love to eat what I bake. Thank goodness or I would be in BIG trouble. My grandparents owed a bakery so I come by my baking honestly. If it says dessert I am on it. Would love to win a cookbook.

  1455. I’ve waited FOREVER for this cookbook to become available – now that FOREVER is finally here an autographed copy would be happily ever after!

  1459. I love Pioneer Woman! She has truly inspired me to become a better cook and have a good time doing it. I look forward to watching her show and follow her blog daily now!

  1461. Love Ree! I said many years ago when she first started her blog that I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t end up on Food Network or Cooking channel. Look at her now!!

  1489. Love the Pioneer Woman so much – I’d love to have her cookbook, especially with an autograph. I’ve visited some of the other giveaway sites today and it’s great to see everyone making some of my favorite recipes from her site – Malted Chocolate Chip Cookies, Knock You Naked Brownies, Iced Coffee, this gorgeous jam… yum!

  1514. It’s wonderful the amazing friendships that we hear about in the blogger community. Congratulations to all of you for following your dreams!

  1518. I would so love to add this to my kitchen! It would have to be easier than going back and forth to the computer when I’m cooking from her website!

  1535. Thanks for the giveaway. Two of my favorites from Ree are the Marlboro Man Sandwich and the Cinnamon Rolls. Two recipes that keep husband and wife happy.

  1546. I can’t wait for this new cookbook and for Ree to come to Pasadena CA! She’ll literally be a block from my place, so you know I’ll be in line early!

  1551. Would love a copy, I so enjoy reading about canning. I find it such a lost art. No one to teach me and it feels a little intimidating to me. Would love a show or book on this. thanks for the chance.

  1561. I would love this book. My husband bought me her book Pioneer Woman because he thought it would be right up my alley. It was! It turned me on to her blog and her show. I love all her recipes. Thanks!

  1568. I have her first cookbook and have made every recipe in there and loved them all!! I am looking forward to this one and doing the very same thing as I’m sure it is just as wonderful as the first one!

  1574. Love Pioneer Woman! I have her first cookbook and have tried many recipes from that and from her website. So many good ones. Can’t wait to get my hands on the new cookbook!

  1580. was introduced to Ree Drummond through a TV program “Writing Outloud” done by a local writer in my town. Love her style as well as her foods

  1593. Like you and Ree, I get such pleasure creating great food for my family, so nice to see their smiles as they gobble. I’m excited to explore new recipes in Ree’s newest collection. Thank you!

  1643. I cannot wait to make more jam. I love it! My favorite that I made last year was a blueberry peach, and will definitely be trying to do that one again this year 🙂

I have made them for the past two years for Christmas eve morning delivery to friends and family and fear I have now started an expected tradition!! 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity. Like so many, she is not coming anywhere near our area for book signing, so this is a wonderful idea!

  2843. Would love to have her latest book. Borrowed first book from the library and UPS just delivered my very own copy today after I decided I had to have it in my library of cookbooks. I want to make almost every recipe.

  2858. I just love Ree’s idea to include her family and ranch life in the book…and oh yes, the decor, the flowers, the colors….all of it! Luv it! Even after eye surgery I donned my sunglasses so I could peek at the website and see the blogs!

  2870. Love Ree! She’s so fun to read (I’d watch her too but we don’t have cable…) and her recipes are great. Since she lives in a small farming town in the middle of the midwest I can actually find the ingredients her recipes call for!

  2895. I love Ree! First saw her on The Bonnie Hunt Show several years ago & have been a fan & follower ever since. I love how genuine she is. So honest & forthright. No games. A lovely person. Her Chicken & Dumplings is amazing. I have passed that recipe around to so many of my friends & they all rave about it. She is awesome!

  2913. I have fallen head over heels for cooking since discovering the pioneer woman’s website…..the photos of the recipes just make me want to cook everyting. Her stories and sense of humor are just the icing on the cake! Sonar everything I have cooked from the website has been fantastic!

  2919. A friend told me about PW several years ago before she was well known. It’s been fun following her success. She still seems the same down- to-earth, delightful person!

  2921. I love Pioneer Woman! I’ve made so many of the recipes from her first book and off of her blog. I would love to win her new book. Can’t hardly wait to get it.

  2966. I am such a fan of Pioneer Woman, I have her first cookbook and love it, and would be so so happy to own this one as well! Her recipes are delicious, photography incredible, but it’s her humor that keeps me coming back again and again.

  2984. You had me at canning… I am so wanting to try and have always chickened out thinking that I couldn’t do it. I am all over it this year! Bring on the mason jars.

  2994. I wanted to can last summer but could not as we were moving and the company would not take canned goods. Hope to do it this summer…and I can make jam using my bread machine maker!

  3017. Speaking of canning, I was just thinking this afternoon that I would love nothing more than a big garden so I could can veggies and preserves… And of course, a body capable of doing all that work. Funny, I was never interested when I was able to do those things.

  3039. I love Ree’s recipes, the Tasty Kitchen site and her show! I just encountered your blog today and can’t wait to peruse around it some more. It would be great to win that book. Thanks for sharing!

  3041. I have your first book and I can not begin to tell you haw much I enjoy it. I have made so many items; I even entered your chili in the “Chili Cook Off” at my church. I guess the judges taste buds were off that day because I thought it was the best one there.
    I would dearly love to add your new book to my cookbook collection. It would be hard to beat your first book but I look forward to seeing it.
    You are truly a blessing and such a hoot!

  3042. Would love this cookbook! I collect cookbooks and my friends like to give them to me because they know of all their friends I will be the one to try things out!

  3043. I’d love to try Ree’s strawberry jam, and probably anything else in her cookbook. My last batch of strawberry jam was a little (well, a lot) too sweet, and I think I’m going to have to trash it and try again.

  3045. I always look at Ree’s cookbooks and want to buy them but there always seems to be something else that I need to spend the money on. I have tried the recipes from several magazines in the past and her blog. They were delicious.
