I'm so boring. My idea of a great day is just to be home with absolutely nothing to do.
Butter, cream, and bacon. That's such a great foundation right there.
I love nutcrackers, as I was a ballerina growing up.
I don't like bananas. I like to drive that point home.
My days are spent wrangling children, chipping dried manure from boots, washing jeans, and frying calf nuts.
With the exception of an occasional cocktail party with friends, my holiday entertaining mostly centers around smaller get-togethers with family.
I've set aside a nice chunk of my advertising revenue each month for giveaways, like a KitchenAid mixer. I like buying them for the audience, because without the audience I wouldn't have the blog or the revenue in the first place.
I'm working on a second cookbook and am working on my love story, 'Black Heels to Tractor Wheels.'
I didn't even know any cowboys growing up. When my friends heard that I was marrying a cattle rancher and moving to the country, they literally could not believe it. They started calling me the Pioneer Woman as a joke.
If you ruin the main course of a dinner party, it ain't all that tragic. Just laugh!
I'm a cinnamon roll evangelist.
I think deerskin work gloves are the answer to everything. You can give them to someone who gardens or someone who works outside. And you can give them to someone who grills; they're great for grilling. I wear them all the time, 24/7.
I'm pretty sure I could've ended up on 'Real Housewives of Orange County.' They need a fair-skinned redhead.
I'm a thirty-something ranch wife, mother of four, moderately agoraphobic middle child who grew up on a golf course in the city.
Oats are great - you can make meatloaf and use oats instead of bread as the binder, or you can make oatmeal cookies, my husband's favorite.
For a while, I Photoshopped too much. When you first learn what you can do, you really go overboard sometimes.
I think over-seasoning it is something I tend to do. If it's a good steak, salt, pepper, and butter are the three key ingredients. But just try not to overcook it, and you'll be happy.
As The Pioneer Woman has grown and the revenue has grown, the prizes keep getting better, and that certainly feels good.
I think people are drawn to 'The Pioneer Woman,' not because I am some fascinating person but because I present things that a lot of people can relate to.
Ninety-five percent of the time when I run a contest I've purchased the giveaway prizes with advertising money.
