The Pioneer Woman

I actually enjoy the show and watch it faithfully each day. I've even tried a few of her recipes. Ree's bright smile and bubbly personality are adorable and a breath of fresh air. She uses a lot more sugar than I do, but it's a fun show to watch. My only comment would be this.....please start making the family wash their hands before diving into the food! E-coli (and other deadly bacteria) is alive and well. They are out fiddling around with cattle, horses and "cow patties" , playing in the field, even cleaning out an old dark shed for a 'man cave' for the kids and Ree shows up with food (some of it, sandwiches held in the hands) and not a sani-wipe in site! They come in off the 'prairie' and go straight for the food without stopping at the sink to wash. And the filthy cowboy hats at the diningroom tables are nauseating! If I spent the afternoon cooking a nice meal the hats would be left in the mudroom and my dinner table would be treated with respect. Just my 2 cents :-) Otherwise, love ya Ree!!!

I watched an episode today. I can only surmise that the overly sugary- sweet presenting style has come from all the literal sugar she adds to everything. She even said at one point, something like "sugar ALWAYS makes everything better." Uh, no it doesn't. It was almost as if she was addressing her critics by saying this.

How can she feed her kids all that unhealthy stuff? Does she eat all this stuff herself?

As for the person who wrote a previous review quoting how many hits her blog has etc etc, nice try bigging her up, whoever you are (Ree).

The camera person needs to spend less time on the host and more time actually filming the food and the cooking/preparing process.

This show and host is so warm and inviting. You get to see first hand her kitchen, ranch and family. Being from Texas and now living in LA, this makes me miss the South and the good cooking. It is great to see such a close knit family that instills work ethics and spending quality time with your family. My mouth waters at just about everything she cooks. It makes me feel like I am right there with Ree Drummond (the host) and have a personal invitation to visit her loving home.

To reviewers here who brag about Ree's profits: so what?

Phillip Morris is worth billions. That doesn't make the product a good thing.

Her recipes are Junior League cookbook knockoffs, and that has a certain appeal to a swath of America unconcerned with obesity and its effects.

It really is that straightforward.
