Pioneer Woman Cooking - Update

To bring you up to speed - I am on a mission to make some of the Pioneer Woman's recipes from her cookbook that Michael requested and some from her website. Here is the running list with the new tries in blue:

  1. PW's Potato Skins
  2. Hot Artichoke Dip
  3. Cinnamon Rolls (she's famous for these - has even been on many morning shows making them)
  4. Breakfast Burritos
  5. Migas
  6. French Breakfast Puffs
  7. Maple Pecan Scones
  8. MarlboroMan's Favorite Sandwich
  9. Spicy Pulled Pork
  10. Macaroni and Cheese
  11. Beans and Cornbread
  12. Cowboy Calzone
  13. Perfect Pot Roast - Was an easy recipe. We cooked ours in a crock-pot instead of a dutch oven and the only other thing I would do different would be to trim more fat off my Chuck Roast before cooking. Michael and Greyson both LOVED this.
  14. Chicken Pot Pie (Perfect Pie Crust) - First off, her crust is the flakiest crust I have ever seen. I left out one tablespoon of water and could have probably left out 2..it was a bit sticky. I followed the pot pie recipe to the T and it was unbelievable. We will make this one for sure again but maybe not too soon with the cup of whipping cream and 4 tablespoons of butter not to mention the cup and a half of vegetable shortening in the crust.
  15. Meatloaf - Followed the recipe to the T but decided to add onions. I loved the moistness (from bread soaked in milk and 4 eggs) and the bacon on top. Think next time I will blend the recipe we normally use and hers by adding mushrooms, red pepper, and more onions. Michael was not a huge fan but I think with the blending of the two recipes he will be happier.
  16. Cheese Grits - We had these with steaks, cauliflower, and asparagus. Will say...there was a bit too much garlic in it for everyone and will probably leave out one clove next time. Might also add green onions and some bacon as well. FYI - we made a half a batch and it could have fed an army.
  17. Comfort Meatballs
  18. Creamy Rosemary Potatoes
  19. Olive Cheese Bread
  20. Flat Apple Pie
  21. Mocha Brownies
  22. Peach Crisp with Maple Cream Sauce
  23. Sour Cream Noodle Bake (from website) - This is the perfect mix of sour cream, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese and noodle of course. Easy recipe for using ground beef. It will be a good recipe for Greyson. Michael's only complaint....not enough meat.
  24. Sweet Cinnamon Scones - coming soon since I finally found the cinnamon chips
