For home cooks, nothing beats spending a long, leisurely day preparing dinner for your family while savoring every flavorful step. But let's face it: Few of us really have the time to do that anymore with school, sports, work and activities pulling us in all directions.
What busy home cooks really need are doable recipes to solve the challenge of feeding their families wholesome food that tastes good day after day, week after week, without falling into a rut.
Drummond provides readers with her best make-it-happen dishes, pulled from her own nonstop life as a wife, mother of four, food lover, and businesswoman.
"The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Come and Get It!" includes more than 125 of Drummond's best solutions for tasty, nutritious meals (with minimal fuss) for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a mix of flavors, Drummond makes it easy to whip up simple, down-home recipes without a lot of stress.
Drummond's website, The Pioneer Woman, was founded in 2006 and showcases her cooking, photography and anecdotes about country life. Her cooking show, "The Pioneer Woman," premiered on the Food Network in 2011.
A lover of Ethel Merman songs, Lucille Ball, and "The Godfather," she lives on a working cattle ranch in Oklahoma with her family.
