Ree's new Foodnetwork show airs this Saturday, August 27th at 11.30am (could be earlier or later depending where you live). You can click HERE to see a sneek peak.
You may remember that I started 'cooking my way through' Ree's cookbook back in early 2010. I would post a new recipe that I had tried to my cooking blog, aptly named 'The Cooking Den'. Then a few months later my friend Melanie wanted to join in with me. We decided to each take turns picking a recipe to try and I started posting about it here on my daily diary. You can see a link over to the left showing all posts about PW. I also had intentions of reposting the recipes to my cooking blog but I got a bit behind with doing that. Half way through summer I think I stopped cooking from the book, it was just too hot and I think Melanie had gone on vacation so we just didn't do it each week after that.
Now that Fall is on it's way (I hope!) I am getting the urge to start cooking again, from my PW cookbook :-) And I am so excited about her show too. From the preview it looks like her first recipe will be chicken fried steak, one of her hubbie's favorites. That is definitely one of my hubby's favorites too, but I think he'd prefer to just go out and order it rather than me cook it! Of course I'm not a bad cook, but I must admit that the few (and I mean VERY few) times I've tried to cook this I never seem to have great success. I followed a Paula Deen recipe once and the batter just seemed to fall off when I turned the steak over.
I've been trying to update my cooking blog with the recipes I've made so far from Ree's book. Some recipes I've actually tried and didn't even get around to blogging about! I will try to update those soon too. I did make the Jalapeno Poppers on New Years Eve and managed to get one quick picture before they were gobbled up. They were SO good, and I don't even like jalapenos!
I've also made her beans and corn bread. . .
Hopefully soon I can make a blog post about these recipes, and others that I've tried, and add them to my cooking blog. My aim is to start making something each weekend from Ree's cookbook. If anyone wants to join in by all means do so. You can get recipes off her site if you don't have her book. We don't have to cook the same things, I'm not even sure what I'll pick for this weekend, I'm leaning toward some scones because I have all the ingredients in, but nothing is set in stone!
Rumor has it that Ree has another cookbook coming out too, I just haven't heard when. Are you a PW fan?

She is pretty awesome. I love reading her blog too!
Awwww!!! You beat me to it!! I saw the commercial and I immediately thought about you. I was going to email you and tell you about it but this is the first time I've had a chance to get on the computer. Any way I'm glad you saw the commercial...I will definitely be watching. Hope you have a great week!! :)

Yayyyyy!!! I set my DVR yesterday to record her show!
I had no idea you were cooking your way through her cookbook! I can't wait to see how it comes out.
My favorite recipe from her cookbook so far is the lasagna.
Hi Denise, I bet her recipes are delish! Those jalapeno poppers look yummy!
Wasn't my little birdie so cute? I miss him...The lady told me to feed him soaked cat food and live meal worms. He was crazy about those meal worms! I really did not think he would live when Kevin first brought him to me. I was so glad he made it! I hope he's doing ok...he was so much fun. I really do miss him! Have a great day! Kristen
As it gets cooler I will definitely start making more from her book. Her cinnamon rolls were a huge hit here. Can't wait for the show.
