Congratulations to Eileen the winner of the signed Pioneer Woman Cookbook!
"I have made several pioneer woman recipes, we really enjoyed her cornbread stuffing recipe for turkey day, first break away from my mother's traditional sage stuffing recipe. It was great! Currently I am really into the baked pasta with shrimp recipe. I made it the day I read the post and again two days ago. I want to tweak it a bit for our tastes, but its fun and fast."
"Thanks for the book offer, I followed the link from your comment on pw's site. I like to do that to discover interesting new blogs, now I will take a better look at your blog...happy holidays!"
Yesterday was quite an adventure for me. I met Ree Drummond,in person! It was so exciting to meet her. She is just like you would think she would be. She is so down to earth, and kind and yes very pretty as well. I am going to do a post tomorrow more about my adventure but today I want to talk about her cookbook.
I can't tell you how exciting it is just to get my hands on a signed copy! So I thought when I was standing in line waiting to meet Ree herself, wouldn't it be a great idea to spread the love and get an extra book signed and give it away?
Yes that's right! I have a signed copy of Pioneer Woman Cooks for one lucky Spruce Hill reader. The winner will be selected randomly on Thursday. All you have to do is to leave a comment here at the bottom of this blog post by Thursday 12:00 PM Eastern Standard time. Tell me what your favorite recipe is and if you like leave it with your comment.
Not only is it a wonderful cookbook but Ree included lots of her photography in it as well. It is gorgeous!
Please only one entry per person! Good luck! I will mail this out as quickly as possible so you can enjoy it over the holidays.
I was there as well but I did not get a chance to meet PW.
I already have a book and I am not entering your contest I just wanted to say Hi.

I'd love this cookbook! I've been a fan of the Pioneer Women for a couple of years and think she is fabulous! Do you want our favorite recipe from the book? or ours in general?
Posted by: marsha mifsud | December 14, 2009 at 03:24 PM
I love her! When I was in the working world years ago, I met her and her husband because they were clients of ours. Marlboro is that handsome in person and Ree is a beautiful woman and so down to earth. I was elated to find her blog! Hope I win!!!!

She was here in Denver and I didn't find out until the day after she left. :( How cool that you got to meet her and even cooler that she knew who you were!
Posted by: Nicole | December 14, 2009 at 04:15 PM
Just in general! I love new recipes!
Posted by: Spruce Hill | December 14, 2009 at 04:34 PM
I love the Tres Leches cake (Hope I spelled that right!) It is yummy!!!!
Posted by: Jo Jo | December 14, 2009 at 04:48 PM
wow! hubby got me it for Christmas and i can't settle for 1 favorite recipe!
Posted by: mint | December 14, 2009 at 05:19 PM
Oh, I want it! I've tweeted about it too (to spread the word)!
Posted by: Stephanie | December 14, 2009 at 06:59 PM
That looks like a beautiful cookbook. I have tryed some of her recipes on her blogsite and so far I think my favorite is the buscuit bites with Blue Cheese and butter. Not sure of the name of it but they are awesome. I have made them twice as appetizers for Survivor night get-togethers at my neighbour's house.
I think my favorite recipe though has to be my Grandmother's Red Flannels!!
Posted by: Dew Drops | December 14, 2009 at 07:00 PM
My favorite Ree recipe.....is definetley 2x baked potatoes......I have to say though....Pastor Ryan posted one for ricotta stuffed plum tomatoes that is just WONDERFUL too!
Merry Christmas!

What a nice thing to do! My new favorite recipe is her Olive Cheese Bread. My son likes it so much I use it as a bribe for getting goods grades.
Posted by: Teri | December 14, 2009 at 11:31 PM
I love to cook, but I feel a bit ashamed to say that I hadn't heard of the pioneer woman until I started seeing you blog about her and your tweets. So I can't give you my favorite recipe. But I love to cook and bake and if I did win the book I would surely try lots of the recipes.....especially if they look as good as they do in your pics and on her site and I will surely tell you which is my favorite:)
Posted by: Jen Starr-Reivitt | December 15, 2009 at 02:15 AM
There are too many recipes to be able to choose just one! I've been a fan of hers for over 3 years now... let's see... I do love her meatball recipe! Thanks for doing such a great giveaway. How lucky you are that you got to meet her! =)
Posted by: Suzanne | December 15, 2009 at 08:45 AM
Not eligible for the drawing since I have my own signed copy but to let your other readers know, I cooked Creamy Rosemary potates last night for dinner and they were awesome!!!!!

I love Ree...wish she would come to North Carolina.
Posted by: Marilyn | December 15, 2009 at 08:41 PM
Forgot to tell you that I love her chocolate cake...and everything else she makes. How do you think she stays so slim?
Posted by: Marilyn | December 15, 2009 at 08:44 PM
I would love that book. Did you want our favorite Ree recipe??? Hmm. I have tried the Marlboro Man sandwich & her lasagna.
Posted by: Donna S. | December 15, 2009 at 09:05 PM
My family really enjoys the Crash Hot Potatoes. Just can't have them often because of the calories!
Posted by: Lana | December 16, 2009 at 10:24 AM
I love the buttered rosemary rolls hot out of the oven! Yum! Thanks for the chance to win her book :)

Chicken Spaghetti...By PW. Big hit at our house!
Just in case anyone missed it...

I wish she would have come closer to where I am or in a more drivable distance. Maybe next time...
Have a Merry Christmas!
Posted by: Heather O. | December 16, 2009 at 11:54 AM
Ooooooooh! I'm crossing my fingers - I'd love to have the cookbook! My love handles disagree, but what do they know?? Let's see my favorite recipe (at least the one I find easiest to whip up at a moment's notice) has got to be the apple dumplings posted on PW's website. They're always a big hit.
Love your blog!
Posted by: LuckyDuck63 | December 16, 2009 at 07:58 PM
Would love to see her too, but I live in Stanwood, Wa, so too far for me!
I love her site, and have made a lot of her wonderful recipes, but the rosemary rolls rock my world!!
Your site is very beautiful, I visit a lot!
Posted by: M.J. Jacobsen | December 17, 2009 at 12:15 AM
Hey this is on my Christmas wish list, too! I'm so jealous you got to meet her. I completely spaced out when she was in LA. Missed her by one day! Oh well.

I asked Santa for her cookbook! Are you Santa? lol
Posted by: Allison | December 17, 2009 at 08:41 AM
Saw you over on Kates blog, Chronicles of a Country Girl, so I thought I'd stop by. Glad I did! Everyone seems to have such glowing things to say about PW. She certainly does have it all pulled together doesn't she? She sure did rock that Stevie Nicks look too ... only better than SN ; )
Hopefully you will enter my name in the drawing. The book looks wonderful!

Forgot to post my favorite recipe! I gotta say PW's lasagna. It takes awhile to make but it really is the best lasagna EVER.
Posted by: Allison | December 17, 2009 at 09:17 AM
How COOL that you got to meet her! I love her blog and am a member of Tasty Kitchen too! She has such fabulous recipes....I can't wait to try her cinnamon rolls!
Posted by: Carol | December 17, 2009 at 09:43 AM
I am too late i think for the competition now but i just wanted to say- what a wonderful thing to do and it is a really great and cool idea for a giveaway.
Posted by: Samantha ~ Holly & Zac ~ | December 17, 2009 at 11:34 AM
I'm not sure if you meant recipe in general, or favorite PW recipe, but I'll go with the later. Love, love, love the sheet cake, and hubby loves the BBQ Meatballs.
Posted by: Becky G. | December 17, 2009 at 12:06 PM
Oh man, am I too late! My feeder still won't update you so I decided to take a peak just now!!
Anywho, my absolute favorite recipe must be The Poor Man's Pudding; that stuff simply rocks! AND it fills that rich chocolate need that we women crave!
I wish I was there with you when you met her, thanks for sharing, Sarah!
