Introduction

I just wanted to put a first post in here to break the blog ice.

I discovered the pioneer woman Ree Drummond (every time I say her last name, I can't help but sing the theme song to Different Strokes) last year when a friend of mine made a delicious mac and cheese dish for our not-so-consistent supper club. It was like heaven in my mouth and I knew that it was going straight to my thighs. One can always tell a good recipe by the speed in which it attaches itself to random body parts.

One of my new years resolutions is to cook more at home and thought that this would be the perfect way to do it. So in the spirit of Julia and Julia, I will be picking one to five pioneer woman recipes to cook per week. Okay let's be realistic - it will probably be like one recipe every two weeks but i'm going to try really hard to be consistent with them.

I will post my experiences with the recipes. I am not a chef, but I'm not a novice either so I will try to give a realistic account of how easy/hard the recipes are. I will try to break it down by cost too so you know how much it will be per serving and, finally, I will let you know if I like it or not... I mean that is the most important part, right?

I have already made several of her recipes and I have loved each and every one with the exception of two. I will be attempting to make those two recipes again in case it was user error. Keep reading the blog to find out how it goes :)

In closing, I will leave you with a little ear worm - it is a gift from me to you. You're welcome.

Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.... and continue :)
