The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels: A Love Story
by Ree Drummond
Yes, my review is influenced by my love for all things Pioneer Woman. I think Ree Drummond is a down to earth woman full of heart and down home cooking. So many things in my house are The Pioneer Woman at Walmart line. I have owned every single one of her cookbooks for years; I follow her on Instagram. Despite these things, I have never read this book. Shocking, right? I have had it on my shelf.....but finally (after coming off of the intense "I'll be Gone in the Dark") I picked up the book.
It was an absolutely delightful read. The romance between Ree and her husband is so sweet and passionate. I felt their love (and seeing it play out in real time, I can tell it is still accurate.) Her stories about acclimating to life on the ranch, tending to cows, battling fires, and eating steak after being a vegetarian are awesome and hilarious. Finding out about the less than perfect honeymoon and the first foray into breastfeeding reminds readers of just how normal Ree is as a person. A lot of Food Network personalities change the longer they are on the airwaves. My hope is that Ree continues to buck that trend.
I also love seeing the recipes in the back of the book (especially ones that she references in her story.) But they are also in the cookbooks ;)
