That Sound You Heard was my Ego Imploding
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl
{From the About Page on Ree Drummond’s latest venture, Tasty Kitchen}
She writes. She home schools. She takes pictures. And, of course, she cooks. But who knew she was a gorgeous head turner in a pair of size 8s? How a woman who routinely makes love to sticks of butter manages to look so damn good will forever remain a mystery to me.
Good for her. She seems too nice and down to earth for me to begrudge her a pair of skinny genes jeans. But, still. Damn!
Of course she does!!!
She’s gorgeous. The only time I’ve seen her before was via Bakerella’s blog.
I’ll have to see what she’s all about now.
I’m right there with you.
I always wonder about women like her, how to they pull it all off? She’s amazing.
She is amazing. I can barely manage two kids and a couple of blogs. She has a fledgling empire and home schools her four kids. Clearly she doesn’t eat her stress away…so, what’s her secret? Kicking cats? Shopping? Yoga? I want to know!
Jules, you crack me up !!!!! yeah it is amazing. I can hardly keep up with my daily routines. LOL
You need to read her post about wardrobe bankruptcy and how cap sleeves are not her friends anymore:) It’s nice to see that she is human, too.
I have a theory on this, I have thought the same thing, how does she cook like that and still look like that? I think she’s too tired to eat. That’s my theory, wouldn’t you be with her schedule?
Nichole–if my arms looked half as good as hers, I would marry cap sleeves. It’s all in the perspective, I suppose.
Tristan–I think she eats like a horse, or at least like a regular human. She lives on a ranch and probably has an active life style to some degree but, more importantly, she is probably just naturally thin. She says she has been thin her entire life, so I think that is just her body type. Plus, she is 5’9! 5’9! I would look like a period at the end of a sentence standing next to her.
And her food is amazing…not good for your ego, but true. I’ve never made a Ree recipe that wasn’t too. die. for.
I KNOW! I was always secretly hoping (and ASSUMING) she was a nice size 14. UGH. I’m not ashamed to say that the green monster lives inside of me.
This post made me laugh out loud!!!
But I love Ree so much. That woman is amazing. Her food is amazing (every recipe of her’s I’ve tried receives rave reviews). Her blog is amazing. She has a gorgeous home (more than one!), adorable kids, a REAL COWBOY for a hubby…
She has been blessed. Everything she touches turns to gold it seems. I haven’t seen this picture of her, but yes, she I already knew she was drop dead gorgeous. I think she would argue that she doesn’t fit into size 8s, but still!
What was the point of my comment??? ha ha ha. Anyway. Like I said, she’s like the girl who’s so freakin’ genuine and lovely that you just can’t hate her. No matter how hard you try. Not that I’m trying.

Maybe she’s French. I just about snorted out my tea when I read your line about making love to butter. Isn’t that what croissants are all about?
