Pioneer Woman Recipes

I promised you all that I would share the yummy recipes I made this weekend. Do any of you watch the The Pioneer Woman? I have only seen her show twice, but I already love her. You should definitely stop by her blog & tune in for her show on the food network. Watching her seriously inspired me to want to get in the kitchen and cook something up!! On the first episode I watched she made Spicy Pulled Pop Pork. It looked so wonderful, I had to try it.

{This is a photo of her roast.}

It was super easy to make & it turned out to be delicious!!!!

Here is the recipe for PW Spicy Pop Pulled Pork.

One of the other dishes she made, to go along with the pork was Perfect Potatoes au Gratin. At this point I was feeling like a real chef, so I went ahead and tried these too!!!

They were AMAZING!!!!

I should have taken photos of mine, but I was so hungry after smelling the pork bake for 6 hours that I forgot :)

I hope you are inspired to get in the kitchen and make a fantastic meal. I am not a great cook by any means & it all turned out for me, so I think anyone could do it!!

On the Menu

I like to grocery shop for 2 weeks at a time and I plan my menu before I go. I find that this helps keep the cost of  my grocery bill down. I go through what I still have in my fridge, freezer & pantry before I plan my menu so that I am able to use up what I have. I just picked 4 meals off of my 2 week menu to give you all some ideas of what we might have the rest of this week. I know I am always looking for more meal ideas!!
