The Pioneer Woman Cooks

A Year of Holidays

I love Ree ya'll! She seems so sweet and genuine and comes across as someone you would love to have as a friend. I have both of her previous cookbooks and love them. Everything that I have made from them have come out great, even if my results weren't as pretty as her great photographs. I love the way that she has photos of each step throughout the recipe not just the finished product. I pre-ordered my copy and it should be here today, I will be peeking through the curtains all morning looking for the UPS man carrying my little brown box with the smiley face on it. After I have the chance to drool over the recipes and pictures I will report back and will start cooking from it soon. I bought the hard copy, but the eBook comes with demonstration videos and music, so it was a difficult decision. The eBook is not scheduled to be released until November 12th. so I had to go for the physical book but I may have to be indulgent and get both. I hope that you enjoy the little video clip. 

Enjoy-
