I really hate giving Fenris any positive feedback on anything lest he go overboard, but this is quite the nice turn of phrase.

At least she's not as bad as that woman who made the Kwanza cake, Sandra Lee? Now THAT was disgusting.

The worst part?

She has gnarly man-hands. Stop photographing your man-hands, lady.

Her newest recipe, posted today: Seasoned Buttery Crackers.

Recipe:

Take 2 sticks of butter, seasoned salt and some herbs and melt. Dunk saltines in the butter. Bake on rack.

This is some elaborate put-on, right?

The things that i find annoying is the repetition of ingredients and quantities of them too!
Seriously - not only every meal with chilli and hot sauce, but every part of every meal with chilli and hot sauce.
Butter, in huge quantities. Sugar in bucket-loads...
And the fence! Why are they ALWAYS building the same fence! for years now.
In no way do i understand Ranching, but this seems a little strange.
Also, they must go through loo roll by the shipping container. I really can't imagine that their houses smell nice after eating that much fat, sugar and chilli day in day out.
I feel ill just watching.

The link doesn't work for me.

ETA: it may be because this thread is ancient and Rena revived it.

Hi, Rena! Welcome!

This is a very old thread. Try looking around and seeing if anything else strikes your fancy.

Um- my DIL bought me some Pioneer Woman stuff for Christmas. I know I'm the original OP on this thread, but Ree's alright. I've made some of her recipes before, with a few tweaks.

My recollection is that back in the day, her recipes were loaded down with butter and cream and cheese. Of course they were going to be delicious. But I can't eat like that every day! I need recipes that will help me turn lentils into something approaching comestible.

Also, she did and still pisses me off because she adopted a faux country gal aesthetic to appeal to working class people when she's never had to stretch a dollar in her life.

I’m put off by the way she repurposed others’ recipes and passed them off as her own.

It's in the OP, but also commonly discussed around the web. At least in her pre-television days she had a reputation for posting recipes gleaned from church cookbooks and others without attribution. I love church/community cookbooks as a source of good recipes. People submit the ones they know and love, so they're usually tasty, dependable, and don't tend to involve exotic ingredients. But it seemed to me that PW was not forthcoming about a lot of things when she was getting her blog empire off the ground, the source of her "inspiration" being one of them. It's a gray area because ingredients lists are not copyrightable, and the sixty seven pictures per recipe and associated prattle were definitely hers.

Haha apologies for the revival guys, it's a bad habit.
I did enjoy my rant though!

I wanted to dis on her but really I've never paid her much attention. Paula Dean, same. They don't appeal to my tastes. I cook that shit everyday with less ingredients and a cheaper price. I don't need some over rich woman telling me I gotta have perfect butter and expensive spices or I'm a bad cook. Pshaw!

I lightened up on her after she was forced to admit that she had developed diabetes and high cholesterol from eating her own cooking. I figure a karma ass whuppin like that is good enough.
