I’ve been a fan of the Pioneer Woman for a long time—even before I went to visit her on her ranch in Oklahoma. I have tried out many of the recipes from her blog in my own kitchen—from delicious chicken tortilla soup, to fig-prosciutto pizza, to restaurant style salsa—and the dishes have wowed many a taste tester. And there have certainly never been leftovers!
If you’re like me, you discover a lot of recipes on blogs . . . but there’s nothing better than actually cooking from a real-live cookbook. (Let’s just say I’d rather splatter a page with batter or olive oil than my keyboard!) With the Pioneer Woman’s new cookbook, on sale March 13, you can find all of the recipes mentioned above, plus many, many more. The cookbook is also packed with step-by-step photos and gorgeous scenes from PW’s ranch.
This week, we’re giving away one copy of The Pioneer Woman Cooks. Here’s how you can win!
TO ENTER: Comment on this post and tell us who your favorite blog-to-book author is.
CONTEST DETAILS: One winner will be chosen by random.org from among entries received by 5 pm CST on Friday, March 2. The winner will receive a copy of The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier. Prize must be shipped to a North American address. Good luck!

I love Ree! I’ve been following her blog for a few years now and really enjoy the tales of life on the ranch and the cooking section.
I love Ree! I am also from Oklahoma but am living elsewhere and she just always reminds me of home. She is my favorite food blogger hands down!!
I’m excited about the forthcoming book by Sherry & John of Young House Love: http://www.younghouselove.com/
My current obsession is Sherry and John with Young House Love/Young House Life. They have a book coming out in the fall and I CAN NOT wait! http://www.younghouselove.com/
And before that I was in love with Julie & Julia which was written by Julie Powell.
I follow Ree’s blog for many reasons..I like seeing pictures of her dogs and of her family as well. Thank you for a excellent giveaway!

Don’t have a favorite blog but saw a recipe from this book on Pinterest within hours of reading about it on The Book Case… I felt ahead of the game, would love to have a copy!
We love the the down home of Ree,Pioneer Woman also,her cinnamon buns are so good ,I get recipes there often,love to have this cookbook as I cook also.
I’m going with the only one I know of…Julie Powell, author of Julie and Julia.

Ree Drumond- she’s just so down-to-earth! Love that! And, of course, enjoy her recipes too!
Ree Drummond
YAY! New cookbook from Ree! LOVE her.
My other favorite blog to book author is Melissa Ford. She writes the very thoughtful blog: http://www.stirrup-queens.com/
and wrote the very funny book “Life From Scratch”
Love Deb Perelman’s blog Smitten Kitchen and that little boy of her’s is adorable!
Definitely Ree Drummond! She’s so funny and talented in many areas. Plus, I am a “city girl” married to a cowboy, so I can empathize with her situations. I just wish I could be as humorous! I’ve got her first cookbook and would love to have her second.
Favorite blog to book…. Ree Drumond’s “Black Heels to Tractor Wheels” possibly to be replaced by Jill Smokler’s new “Confessions of a Scary Mommy” due out soon. Someday to be replaced by my very own…..
Would love a copy of the book. I am trying to be a better cook for my 11-yr old who has been a vegetarian for 2 yrs. Her father and I are not so I am being pushed to the limit to be creative, Thanks
Well, I was happy to discover that Ami McKay had humble beginnings as a blogger and is now the published writer of “Birth House” and most recently, “The Virgin Cure!”
There’s hope for us all, it seems.

I like 168 hours – a time mgmt blog.
Definitely Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman). I think she is funny and love her recipes!
I’m really not aware if some of the authors I enjoy began as bloggers. But, it’s certainly something to aspire to! Thanks for the great giveaway! The Pioneer Woman is the best!
Ree’s blog is the first blog that I’ve followed faithfully. I found it a couple of years ago while searching for a new way to cook potatoes. I stumbled upon her Crash Hot Potatoes and I’ve been a fan since. I’ve made several recipes from her first cookbook. Ree’s Chocolate Sheet Cake is a family favorite.
I have to say The Pioneer Woman since she is the only one I know. This is a great giveaway and would love to have a copy of her cookbook!
I honestly don’t read blogs. Maybe Bookpage can give us all some good links……. but would appreciate winning this cookbook. It sounds great.
I haven’t seen a cookbook yet, but the recipes found on Suzanne McMinn’s blog “Chickens in the Road” will make you run for your mixing spoons.
My daughter introduced me to Pioneer Woman via her cinnamon rolls..worth every calorie…then I started reading her blog and found a woman I admired and respected because of her love for her family and beautiful photos..I am looking forward to meeting her in Dallas on her book tour to have my books signed. Not only does she have cookbooks with easy lucious recipes but a novel she wrote about her romance with her husband “The Marlboro Man” so so sweet..
Can’t wait to read the new Pioneer Woman cookbook! It looks wonderful. Always enjoy trying out new recipes. Besides reading Pioneer Woman, I also enjoy the blog: http://threemanycooks.com
Thank you for the contest!
Love, Love, Love the Pioneer Woman! I wish I were her! haha! Actually, I try (minus the cows). Anyone who can take the time to write and take care of a house, on top of homeschooling is awesome. I homeschool 3 kiddos and it can be so time consuming, but the most rewarding thing ever! My husband writes novels and I know the time that is involved with that. He just published a fiction thriller – Money Clip (which SO ironically is about a Dallas Medicare Fraud group). So, the fact that Ree can do so much is great! Good for her!
I’m a big fan of Ree as a blog-to-booker, but I really like Cathy Erway, whose blog became the book The Art of Eating In. She’s a great writer and a good inspiration to value home-cooked meals!
I’m also going to say The Pioneer Woman. I’ve made a recipes from her first cookbook.
It sounds like I am taking the easy way out but truthfully, I have been following The Pioneer Woman’s blog (aka Ree Drummond) since I first found out what blogs were.
I would LOVE to win her book. My friend got it for Christmas and sends me the “OMG you have to try this recipe emails since”.
Maybe NOW I can send them to her:-)
