Pioneer Woman's pretty cool

I discovered a new show on food network a few weeks ago about Ree Drummond, aka, the Pioneer Woman. After one episode, I knew I was hooked. I've visited her blog a few times when checking out a recipe I've heard someone talk about, but never really took the time to look through it...aka blog stalk it. I have to say her recipes and their way of life is pretty amazing. She's got a kinda quirky, dry sense of humor that I love. Watching her show and reading her blog made me want to move off to the country and live on a ranch. I told Kevin that...it didn't go over so well. I don't think he's quite ready to throw on some chaps and become a wrangler yet. So for now, I will just cook all of her mouthwatering recipes, and pretend like I'm on a ranch while I'm doing it. Seriously, if you haven't checked out her show or her blog you should. It will make you happy...she's one cool chic in my book! I also came across a few other great food blogs that I will be copy catting this week, so check it out!

Hunter's 1st hunt

Kevin and his Dad took Hunter dove hunting last weekend, this was his first experience at hunting, and he loved it. I didn't know what he would think about the birds, but Kevin said he really got into it by helping them find them and putting them in the bags. I could tell he had so much fun doing this, and I was so glad that he got a little one on one time with Kevin and his Dad. Hopefully this will be the first of many trips! I sent my camera along with Kevin and told him to take lots of pictures....he actually did a great job capturing the hunt. Hannah and I took advantage of having a "just girls" day and went shopping, then came home and made homemade malted chocolate chip cookies. Then, we put our jammies on and watched Tangled while eating way too many cookies. If you want a great chocolate chip cookie recipe, visit my recipe blog next! I'm posting a bunch of new recipes and these cookies were amazing!
