Christmas ideas. For me.

Y’all know I love me some Pioneer Woman.

And I put my money where my mouth is.

I bought the cookbook.

Not as a gift for my mother or best friend (I do love you guys, though).

For myself.

It did sit on my ‘wish list’ at Amazon for about 2 weeks before I actually bought it. But I finally, actually did. And I can’t wait to get my grubby little hands on it.

Today is the official release of The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes From An Accidental Country Girl. I might have to buy a couple more, for back up Christmas gifts. I mean, who wouldn’t want a book that combines commentary that makes you laugh out loud, stunning photography and crazy delicious food?

If you’d like to win one (or five!) of The Pioneer Woman Cooks, and a limited edition KitchenAid Mixer, head on over to her post here. There are only 31,675 other commenters, all hoping to win.

Pretty decent odds, I’d say.

    I tried to enter but I think I was too late. made her tres leches yesterday for Dave' b-day cake. I make a lot of her recipes (adapted to our allergy restrictions). So, is the cookbook all NEW recipes? If so, I must get one too (or five):)

    Stefanie,
    Not sure of your email address so I'm sharing updated info on "Dani" (Waiting Child) Pearl S. Buck, here. I also want to share with you that she is adorable.. I will forward you a picture via email, fyi. I really hope to find this sweet little girl a home.
    **UPDATE** An update received on August 11th indicated that, although she is still developmentally delayed, Danni has been making progress. She is now able to crawl, sit, and stand with adult support. She can feed herself finger foods but needs assistance with other foods. She is able to hold a pencil and draw lines. Danni can say โ€œMama,โ€ โ€œBabaโ€ (daddy), and โ€œJiejieโ€ (sister). She also can imitate whatโ€™s said to her. She is able to understand and comply with adult instructs (i.e. handing items to the adult). Danni also appears to understand facial expressions and understands what โ€œnoโ€ means.

    I want this soooo badly! I keep trying to hint at it to my husband, but he hasn't 'gotten it' yet. Sigh.

    My cookbook arrived yesterday and I spent HOURS last night flipping through it and marking recipes to make. I LOVE it!

    (Now I have to get to the gym to work off all the calories from her delicious recipes)

    I pre-ordered mine a few weeks ago and got a message a couple of days ago from Amazon that it had shipped. I can't wait to open it up!! Whenever I want to try something new, I always go to her blog to find the recipe. Not so heart-healthy, but oh, so good!! ๐Ÿ™‚
