Black Heels to Tractor Wheels

I finished Ree Drummond's (aka The Pioneer Woman) book earlier this week. I loved it, wanted more, and was so sad to see it end!

Ree is such a talented writer so it is no surprise that her very popular blog is award winning and her books have done so well.

The Pioneer Woman Cooks Recipes From an Accidental Country Girl

Charlie The Ranch Dog

This book is about how she met, fell in love with and married her  cowboy husband whom she refers to as Marlboro Man.  The way that she tells the story is so captivating. It draws you in and makes you laugh and cry right along with her. If I didn't know better I could have fallen in love with her cowboy myself.
She had to have kept a journal throughout their courtship to have remembered their love story with such colorful detail.

This book was definitely a delight to read and I am looking forward you reading her next book.

I frequent her website, own her cookbook and love making recipes of hers.  A couple of weeks ago we had friends over for dinner. On the menu was the Marlboro Man Sandwich. Here is {my link} from another time I made it.  I was talking to my friend about how much butter the recipe calls for and that I didn't even use half of it seeing as I am trying to lose weight.  Lauren, my butter loving child, couldn't believe her ears. She started calling her the "butter lady" and all through dinner kept talking about how she wants to meet her since they both love butter so much.  I tried to get her on video but of course it is never as good the second time around or when you have a camera in their face.  But here it is.



She loved the "meat and butter sandwich" and was still talking about it and the butter lady days later!

Lauren mentions a movie because we had been talking about how the book is going to be made into a movie starring Reese Witherspoon!
