Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'

20091026thepioneerwomancooks.jpgRee Drummond, aka the Pioneer Woman, will be the first to tell you that sometimes life doesn't turn out the way you'd expect it to. She was on her way to Chicago from Los Angeles when she met her knight in shining spurs and future husband, the "Marlboro Man." Before Drummond—once a self-proclaimed city girl—knew it, she was married to this unlikely man of her dreams and whisked off to a vast cattle ranch in Oklahoma.

While the story is pretty darn romantic, adjusting to ranch life wasn't exactly easy for the Pioneer Woman. The reality of life without take-out Thai food, fancy coffee, and weekly mani-pedis was a little hard at first. While whipping up a breakfast of sausage gravy, Drummond realized that the meat-and-maybe-a-potato diet that most cowboys embrace wasn't working for her. She went into the kitchen and decided that while she might not be able to win over the ranch hands with ginger-sesame noodles, she could turn out food that could please both city and country appetites.

Her cooking has done much more than feed hungry cowboys. A few years back she started a blog, mostly as a way to share photos of her kids with out-of-state relatives. Slowly she started incorporating recipes with beautiful step-by-step photos into the mix, starting with a pictorial of how to cook a steak. As the down-home recipes became more frequent, the hits started rolling in—The Pioneer Woman blog now gets an impressive 13 million hits a month.

Her new book The Pioneer Woman Cooks, which comes out this week, is more than a collection of tasty recipes. It reads like a scrapbook complete with incredible photos of her family—handsome husband, four beautiful children, adorable dogs, and more cows and horses than you can count. After leafing through this very personal and oftentimes touching book, you can't help but feel like you know Ree Drummond, at least a little.

As sweet as this cookbook is, it's also pretty high up there on the hunger-inducing scale. The book is filled with enticing photos of the simple hearty fare that Drummond makes for her family, and it looks like they eat very well.

Every day this week we are going to share some of the Pioneer Woman's most beloved dishes such as Migas, the Tex-Mex breakfast combo, Simple, Perfect Chili, paired with Fritos for a perfect cowboy lunch, and Creamy Rosemary Potatoes that are reserved for no boys allowed Cowgirls Nights.

besides PWC?

I would say "the girl who ate everything" is my favorite food blog. she is hilarious, she likes to jump in the air, and she likes manatees!

PWC - it's a keeper, even if the amount of butter scares me more than a little!

My favorite food blog? Not gonna lie, this one. It's everything. It ties up the other food blogs I read and opens my eyes to other food that I wouldn't have been able to stumble upon on my own.

Serious Eats, duh! :D

Besides Serious Eats, I like reading "Thus Bakes Zarathustra". And about a hundred more, including PWC!

I read so many food blogs and get so many great ideas and then my friends think I'm some sort of culinary genius. Thank you, food bloggers!

Smitten Kitchen!

I visit Serious Eats daily, often several times since your content keeps changing! I also like Michael Ruhlman's blog - learn lots from him - and Tartelette and Carol Blymire's Alinea at Home.

Besides Serious Eats and PWC? I'd have to say The Kitchn' which actually led me to SE and PWC!!

Besides SE I like Gluten Free Girl. My wife was diagnosed with celiac a year ago and GFG has been indespensible to me.

I love Pioneer Woman Cooks, I think she's hilarious and read it everyday! Of course Serious Eats and I'm also a big fan of David Lebovitz and his blog.

Besides SE, Heidi over at http://www.101cookbooks.com/ is the best, hands down.

Smitten Kitchen. Such beautiful photos and terrific recipes.

I love my Feisty Foodie!

i know right! besides SE and PWC...hmmm. i would really answer SE and PWC!

Serious Eats and Smitten Kitchen and Pioneer woman. Love all 3

Besides SE and PWC, My Kuglehof makes me want to move to Europe...

Favorite food blog? Pioneer woman. I have made so many of her dishes and they are soo fantastic!

Michael Ruhlman and Ree Drummond. Both of them are fabulous.

This is my favorite food blog. I visit it every day. I like Sushi Day as well, but I haven't had the time to make my own sushi in some time and so haven't visited it in awhile.

Lately I've been just sticking with SE and PWC.

Impossible to pick one
Cake Wrecks
Serious Eats
The Kitchen
Heavy Table
David Lebovitz
Simply Recipes

Out of the 20 or so I follow - PWC is my fav!

ditto to smitten and orangette! PWC knows what's up too!

Lots of folks must chase around the same sites as me-

Serious Eats
Smitten Kitchen
101 Cookbooks
Bitten at New York Times
Ruhlman
Stephanie Izard's self-titled page...
Avec Eric
Paupered Chef
Pinch My Salt
I Shot the Chef

Yeah, ok, so that's most of them. And PWC- congrats to Ree (how did she wind up with SUCH a country name??) for the bazillion book sales she's about to make. :)

Serious eats, of course!

Serious eats and Smitten Kitchen.

I love PWC, SmittenKitchen and Bakerella

The one, the only PWC! Love the photos, love the humor, love the recipes. Genius marriage of all 3.
Honorable mentions go to: Bake at 350, Bakerella, and My Baking Addiction.

Honestly, this one. I check it several times a day. After that it has to be Smitten Kitchen. She also rocks the photography amazingly well.

Aside from my two favorite daily reads of Pioneer Woman & Serious Eats, I also really like Artisan Breads in 5 Minutes a Day - they have some great suggestions that compliments their books.

I would have to say Pioneer Woman. I read it almost every day and all of the recipes of hers that I have prepared have been incredible!

eating our words, houston press and anything robb walsh writes.
a passion for food, kathy l chan
and this one!

Chocolate & Zucchini

I have several faves, but Wild Yeast probably tops the list.

Not going to lie, Pioneer Woman! She has simple, great recipes and I love her photos. She may be the reason my boyfriend is with me, I cooked a few of her recipes for his birthday! Thanks for the giveaway, good luck to all, but I kind of hope I win!

ThePioneerWoman is a favorite, along with Serious Eats. I love coming here.

For realsies? Serious Eats. Also, Smitten Kitchen. But I love you guys, because of the range of content, and the recipes are seriously delicious.

I think Culinary Concoctions by Peabody would have to be my fav! :)

serious eats. seriously.

Other than PionerWoman, I am a huge fan of Use Real Butter. The photography is stunning and her recipes are spot on, plus she's a lively and engaging writer.

Other than that Smitten Kitchen, Bitten NYT, and Matt Bites.

PW or smitten kitchen! It's a tie!

Serious Eats is definitely my favorite blog. I like the Paupered Chef a lot. I'm not really sure if it's a blog or a review site, but Chicago Gluttons is a riot. I've not heard of the Pioneer Woman, maybe I'm a mushroom being kept in the dark, but I see the light and I'm headed there now to become enlightened. Thanks.

Serious Eats, Pioneer Woman and Chickens in the Road. These are the first ones I look at every day out of about 30 that I try to keep up with.

I love pioneer woman. Although I don't have have it on my Google reader because all her other blogs will come up on the feed. No, this college gal in a dorm does not need tips on home schooling. : )

These are the big ones:
101 Cookbooks
All Appetite for China
Kyoto Foodie
Smitten Kitchen

and Georgia on my Thighs (when it gets updated).

And of course I check SE everyday!

I have several that I check in on almost daily but my top two always are...drum roll please...Pioneer Woman and Last Night's Dinner...

PW of course and Jaden's Steamy Kitchen!

There are so many fantastic food blogs out there, I am finding new ones everyday. Serious Eats, is probably the blog I visit the most often. I love the variety you never know what you are going to get. I like Pioneer Woman because I can relate ;-)

Besides Serious Eats and Pioneer Woman, Smitten Kitchen is pretty high on my list.

well, I love pioneer woman. i also keep track of amateur gourmet, a stove with a house around it, dorie greenspan's blog, and a few others. but, PWC is my daily go-to.

There are so many that I follow it is really hard to choose but since I am a bit of a chocoholic I would have to go with http://melanger.wordpress.com/ since she almost always makes amazing looking desserts. I am, of course, also an avid fan of PW.

Smitten Kitchen and then Pioneer Woman Cooks. I'm way more likely to make Deb's food than Ree's, but I love the whole PW site.

Smitten Kitchen ..PW...and recently found Serious Eats!

I also love some of the Asian food blogs..like A Daily Obsession and All Appetite for China!

ieatishootipost I love hearing about all the street food and stall owners

I LOVE her. It is my favorite site. I also follow a bunch more like Smitten Kitchen, The Crepes of Wrath, Joy the Baker...etc.

I've loved PW and TGWAE for a long time -- but I'll throw out a relatively new one: Sprouted Kitchen at http://sproutedkitchen.com/ has great food and beautiful photos.

In addition to Serious Eats, I also enjoy Chocolate & Zucchini and A Mighty Appetite.

Love, love, love PWC and Serious Eats! PW posts such deliciously droolable photos. Mmmmmm!

Paupered Chef. I really like the food projects and of course dinner tonight. What isn't there to like?

Really? I have to pick a favorite? Then I pick Jayden's Steamy Kitchen, mainly because she introduced garlic noodle crack into our kitchens.

Smitten Kitchen!

PWC is my fav. She lives about an hour from me and my wife and I follow her everyday. Going see her for her book tour kickoff tomorrow in Tulsa!

Since others have listed some old standbys here are my favorite DC blogs:
Pete Bakes!
Macheesmo
The Bitten Word
Arugula Files

PWC, without a doubt!

pdubs and smitten kitchen.

Besides Serious Eats and Pioneer Woman Cooks, I love to check out David Lebovitz, Cake Wrecks and Baker's Banter. Of course, that's out of a WHOLE MESS of others! When you don't have time to cook - you surf!

Serious Eats, of course, with Bakers' Banter in 2nd: http://blog.kingarthurflour.com

I love David Lebovitz, Smitten Kitchen, Serious Eats, Slice, This is Why You're Fat, Bakerella, Endless Simmer and Alinea at Home!

I've never heard of PWC until Serious Eats called my attention to it, but I think I'm going to have to check her out: My personal favorite blogs are Tea & Cookies, Vanilla Garlic, and Gluten Free Girl.

(No celiac here, but her food is delicious.)

I love Smitten Kitten and Leite's Culinaria

My faves are Pioneer Woman, Serious Eats, Real Mom Kitchen and Smitten Kitchen....but I could go on and on! I love all of them!!

Serious Eats
Cheap Healthy Good Food
Kalyn's Kitchen
Grub Grade

I love the Candy Blog at http://www.typetive.com/candyblog/, because I love candy.

PWC and Smitten Kitchen are also solid favorites around these parts. I've made PW's rosemary onion rolls twice already and am already looking for excuses to make 'em again.

I've got so many favorites (besides Serious Eats):
Smitten Kitchen
The Girl Who Ate Everything
Chocolate & Zucchini

The Wednesday Chef

smitten kitchen and pw!

p-dub has always been my go-to, my favorite. :) PW rocks!

The Food Pornographer
Grubgrade
Bitten NYT

Smitten Kitchen and Orangette!

Besides this one - Slashfood

Serious Eats
Pioneer Woman
Simply Recipes (the first one I read)

My favorites are the Food Pornographer, The Girl Who Ate Everything, and Gastronomy.

The Daily Dish ... more local information for SoCal.

Smitten Kitchen

Serious Eats
Simply Recipes
the Kitchn

PWC, SE and The Kitchn

PW, Alinea at Home, and Heavy Table -a Mpls-St Paul blog that rocks!

Besides PW: Serious Eats, Slashfood, Eat Me Daily, Amateur Gourmet, Vegan Dad, Alinea at Home...and so many more!

Bakerella
Smitten Kitchen
Serious Eats

I love the Amateur Gourmet (and Serious Eats, of course).

I love Pioneer Woman and have for awhile now.

Amateur Gourmet, PWC, Smitten Kitchen....lots of others!

Hands down Orangette. I love her writing!

P-Dub is my favorite, but close runners up are For the Love of Cooking and The Good Mood Food Blog :)

My favorite is Pioneer Woman. I read her and Serious Eats every day.

This is currently my favorite food blog! and the Migas recipe looks delicious.

Oh there are so many...
Of course Serious Eats
Pioneer Woman
David Leibovitz
Smitten Kitchen

I like Choosy Beggars as well as Pioneer Woman Cooks

Gluten-Free Girl - Google brought me right to Shauna as soon as I came home from the doctor's office. My disappointment regarding my gluten issues lasted all of that one short car ride. Thanks, Shauna (and Chef, and Bean)!

Most of my regular haunts have been mentioned already. Pioneer Woman, Serious Eats, Kitchn, and Smitten Kitchen. I sometimes love Mark Bittman's Bitten, and have recently discovered Stonesoup. Also Cheap, Healthy, & Good has returned (we'll see if the changes are good ones!)

Other than PW, I'm really liking Closet Cooking.

Smitten Kitchen - Everything I have baked from her blog is pure heaven, David Lebovitz, The Amateur Gourmet, and of course The Pioneer Woman!

I have to pick one? Hmm. I guess the one I look most forward to seeing with a new post is Simply Recipes. I've cooked a whole whack of meals off of Elise's site, and she has never done me wrong.

I can always look to Pioneer Woman's site for inspiration and practically drool over her food photography, she's really taken food blogs to a whole other level and I think it's awesome she has her own cookbook!

Try her bacon-wrapped anything....jalapenos, crackers, a favorite at any party!

My newest favorite blog is Dutch Girl Cooking: http://www.kayotic.nl/blog/

Pretty pictures, nice step-by-step instructions and recipes that turn out well every time.

Favorite is serious eats!

PW Cooks and Smitten Kitchen are my two go to blogs for recipes. Everything I have made from the two has been heavenly.

My favorite food blog is actually PW Cooks, so this book would be awesome for me!

Smitten Kitchen is so inspiring... And while this may not count as a blog, I've been known to log many hours on Tastespotting.

Smittenkitchen, The Wednesday Chef, The BittenWord...ugh too many to list!

smitten kitchen :)

Other than the aforementioned?
- The Bitten Word, because they're local (to me) and awesome
- The Cookie Shop, because her Tres Leches Cupcakes made me the most popular person on the party circuit this weekend

Serious Eats!!

Hate admitting that it's Eater because of the NY food gossip.

And Chez Pim.

Serious Eats,
Tastespotting,
Closet Cooking

I love Orangette and Wednesday Chef for their storytelling and, of course, Serious Eats for my daily fix of everything and anything food.

Smitten Kitchen, definitely.

Uh, Serious Eats. Newsy, recipe-y, and a bit controversial. Like NYT of Food.

I have to give a shout out to Kalyn's Kitchen.

http://kalynskitchen.blogspot.com/

Serious Eats, Smitten Kitchen and Steamy Kitchen!

Smitten Kitchen!!

www.chocolateandzucchini.com

Durn. Already have bought 2 of em. Anywho, I would say between you and PW's Tasty Kitchen, she wins.

Mine! http://nomonthis.com/
Seriously though, love smitten kitchen, bakerella and the kitchn. Three I check every day (in addition to Serious Eats of course!)

I love a lot of the blogs already mentioned, but I have to give the shout-out here to Tammy Donroe's Food on the Food, which has led me to a lot of fantastic local stuff.

Other than this one, Table Hopping by Steve Barnes. Even though I haven't lived in Albany for over a year, I still read it regularly.

smitten kitchen

I'll just go with my fave local food blog - winemedinemecincinnati.com :)

Oh man, too many to list, and now I see lots more new ones to add to the blogrolls. I have to say Smitten, Orangette, and PW are definitely at the top of the pile for the writing and photos.

I guess it has to be SE. I started reading Pioneer Woman for the recipes, but got hooked by the "Confessions" section.

serious eats and Kitchen Chick

SE, Cheap Healthy Good, and Closet Cooking

In all honesty, Serious Eats and the Pioneer Woman Cooks are my two favorite blogs. No joke.

if i can only choose one, i would have to say smitten kitchen. the recipes, the photos and the wit is unbeatable.

i also love the kitchen sink. the woman seems to read my mind with her choices. maybe it's because we're both from the midwest or something, but she always happens to post something that fits my current craving!

Serious Eats!

the pioneer woman cooks
smitten kitchen
the food pornographer
tastespotting

Hmm...Wednesday Chef for fantastic writing, but Paupered Chef for the great recipes that I would actually cook.

PWC is really one of my favorites, but SE is the site that comes up in my top sites. :) I visit several times a day, to lurk or post, and recipes posted here have always been delicious!

Just Bento and The Heavy Table

My core food blog readings (daily) are: SE (of course) The Kitchn, 101 Cookbooks, and Cheap Healthy Good.

Aside from Pioneer Woman and Serious Eats, it would definitely be Simply Recipes by Elise Bauer. No question.

SE
Smitten Kitchen
Amateur Gourmet
Cheap Healthy Good
David Lebovitz

SE
Brownie Points
Seriously Good

SE, smitten kitchen, PWC, the kitchn, new times chow bella, the scootabaker. oh, and makingitwithmeleyna.com. :)

There's way too many to list, but (other than Serious Eats), the one I've been making sure to keep up with lately is Cheap Healthy Good--it always makes me laugh out loud.

I like Bakerella, CakeSpy, Cream Puffs in Venice, Poor Girl Eats Well, La Fuji Mama, but all for different things.

Grub Street, SE. I'm addicted to both.

Besides, PCW and SE, I love Food Pornographer. I really enjoy looking at pics of food that is so different than what I eat. Sometimes it even inspires me.

Well, besides The Pioneer Woman, I would definitely have to say smittenkitchen.com!

So, so many to choose from! SE, PWC, SK, Bakerella, Simply Recipes, Sticky-Gooey-Creamy-Chewy. All so inspiring and with good recipes to boot!

Far and away, Serious Eats is my favorite.

It is too hard to narrow it down to just one! If I have to do a top 10 list, it would be:

SE (including AHT and Slice)
Cupcake Project
David Lebovitz
Dorie Greenspan
Farmgirl Fare
Homesick Texan
Ms Glaze
Rosa Jackson
Ruhlman
Vanilla Garlic

Serious Eats
then The Kitchn, PWC, Becks n Posh,...soooo many to choose from!

Besides PWC, I like Smitten Kitchen, Not Eating Out In New York, and Orangette. And y'all!

Joy The Baker, she is sweet, funny and everything I have made from her site has been amazing!

Serious Eats and Bitten NYT

I like the Pioneer Woman, Elise at Simply Recipes, Smitten Kitchen, and Cheap Healthy Good. Plus SE, of course.

Pioneer Woman and Smitten Kitchen, for sure.

Smitten Kitchen, Serious Eats, Pioneer Woman, and Cheap Healthy Good. Food blogs are so entertaining!

My reader includes Serious Eats (of course!), The Kitchn', 101 Cookbooks, Bitten, Orangette, Ruhlman, Simply Recipes, Smitten Kitchen, and The Food Librarian. :)

I also follow a bunch of the same and more on Twitter, including the Pioneer Woman and Jaden of Steamy Kitchen. :)

And lets not even start on the massive number of food blogs I have tagged in Delicious that I search when I'm looking for a recipe. It's slightly out of control.

Pioneer Woman
Steamy Kitchen
What's For Lunch, Honey
and natch Serious Eats!

I think Serious Eats is my favorite, but I look forward to Bakerella's posts every Monday. 2 Stews also has great recipes!

Probably French Laundry At Home and now Alinea at Home, although I adore Boots in the Oven, The Amateur Gourmet, Smitten Kitchen, and about a ton of others.

Pioneer woman
Joy the Baker
Serious Eats of course!

I am going to shamelessly plug my own..passionfoodie :) But I really love PWC and smitten kitchen. They're the ones that got me hooked!

Excluding my SE addiction of course, I'd have to say Simply Recipes. It's great for simple reference, like how long to roast a head of garlic, and Elise seems really approachable and not condescending.

Pioneer Woman is definitely my favorite !!

Also, Joy the Baker, Smitten Kitchen, Sugarlaws and Ezra Pound Cake.

Smitten Kitchen!

My fave five (can't pick one!): Bakerella, Closet Cooking, Pioneer Woman, Serious Eats, and Simply Recipes.

Pioneer Woman is my favorite blog. Followed by Smitten Kitchen!

I have been a huge Pioneer Woman Cooks fan and have entered every contest, read every entry and fallen madly in love with her and her family.

The Pioneer Woman Cooks IS my favorite food blog.

Smitten Kitchen!!

Oh my, let's see. Of course all the parts of Serious Eats, Noble Pig and Simply Recipes. There are some for the humor and recipes, P Dub, and some for the photography and recipes, 101 Cookbooks. There are more that I peruse occasionally. Thanks to all of them for adding to my cooking expertise.

blondie and brownie - i love the tandem-blogging style!

I visit this one SE and Simply Recipes daily... smitten kitchen, 101 cookbooks, David L., chocolate and zucchini occasionally, oh, and simply breakfast. I like to see what's for breakfast every once and a while.

serious eats, hands down

Serious Eats is my favorite. Any of my other favorites, including Pioneer Woman, I read about here at SE.

SE for quantity. McGee for quality.

I have more than 60 food blogs bookmarked! Thank goodness for rss feeds. To pick just one blog is difficult, and I will have to go with Still Clumsy With Chopsticks. Like its previous incarnation Obachan's Kitchen & Balcony Garden, the blog entries are personal, entertaining, and warm. Visiting the blog is like reconnecting with a good friend over tea and swapping recipes.

I'd have to say The Kitchn.

Besides Serious Eats and Pioneer Woman Cooks, I love to check out dutch girl cooking. She is amazing !

Actually, besides SE it's Pioneer Woman!

I visit SE pretty much daily and consider it one of the best among all blogs. If SE disappeared I'd draw great solace from the Homesick Texan; greatly due to my family heritage and the memories it conjures.

I love Serious Eats and The Kitchn, but the one nearest and dearest to my heart is Homesick Texan, as I am a homesick Texan myself.

PWC, RecipeGirl and Savory Sweet Life!

I have the same favorites as a lot of other readers here: Smitten Kitchen is my number one, but hot on her heels is Orangette, Simply Recipes and Gluten-free Girl.

My favorite food blog besides Pioneer Woman?

Smitten Kitchen :)

In Mol Araan - food and linguistics.

PWC and Smitten Kitchen!

Love this thread because I'm getting ideas for lots of new blogs I have to check out! Other than Serious Eats, I love Heavy Table.

Pioneer Woman and Smitten Kitchen

I hate to offer nothing but a repeat of the blogs already mentioned but... PWC and smitten kitchen offer up such inspiration that I can't help myself.

Pioneer Women cooks is a favorite of mine, along with Serious eats, and Rhulman's blog.

I love Ezra Poundcake and Smitten Kitchen among many others

Smitten kitchen has delicious food, great photos and now even a cute baby. But of course serious eats is equally enjoyable!

Serious Eats, FoodTease, David Lebovitz

I would LOVE to win a copy of her book!

Besides her, my favorite food blog is probably Orangette (who is on a bit of a hiatus right now). I own her cookbook as well!

Serious Eats, Eat Me Daily & PCW

Aside from Serious Eats, I love to browse on The Old Foodie, especially the quote for the day.

I love the pictures and the insights at French Letters.

I am forever loyal to The Pioneer Woman Cooks! FOREVER LOYAL!

I like Serious Eats. I love The Kitchn because it has so many great links. I also read Smitten Kitchen and I love Mark Bittman's blog as well.

PWC, Serious Eats (duh) and Simply Recipes.

That's it!!! thepioneerwoman is the first blog I turn to every day!!! (Only to be bummed if she's been to busy to update...). I say it all the time, she has developed such a "voice and following" from her blog - amazing! I would love to get this book!

Pioneer Woman, Bakerella, and Steamy Kitchen, Serious Eats and Simply Recipes are the ones I check every day

Besides SE, I check Baking Bites every day. That's the blog that linked me to PWC.

The Pioneer Woman of course. Honestly though, I've made several recipes from her site and have loved them all. I would love to have her book.

I like LastNightsDinner a lot, of course PW and Smitten, love Steamy and also like Closeted Cook, a lesser known blog written by a guy who seems to have my same palette and love for dips and sandwiches.

Do I have to choose? :D

Pioneer Woman is one of many that I like to visit!

serious eats is my only regularly read food blog

Serious Eats, of course. Not Eating Out in New York is pretty good too.

Serious Eats, PW Cooks, Smitten Kitchen & Sweetnicks

smitten kitchen, and serious eats because i need more frequent gratification.

I love Ree's food blog. I read it often!

Serious Eats...I'm addicted to you. Excellent all-around.
Love Cake Wrecks...never ceases to make me gasp with shock and awe.

Smitten Kitchen, Serious Eats, PW Cooks (hilarious!), and David Lebovitz. Now to quit procrastinating and get back to work...

besides pwc i love orangette and anything ruhlman!

Serious Eats and Eat Daily

Serious Eats (anything truly important or fabulous on another site will end up here anyway.)

Besides SE, smittenkitchen.com is my favorite

streamingourmet isn't bad but doesn't compare to se!

smitten kitchen and joy the baker

for the love of cooking.

PW rocks,but i personally like "www.mattthebutcher.com

The Pioneer Womans entire blog is great! Pick me! Pick me!

pioneer woman, of course!

There's a guy here in Seattle that does restaurant reviews under the name "surly gourmand".

This beats the boots off a breakfast strata!

I love to read Pioneer Woman ... but I also like Smitten Kitchen and Bitchin Camero.

Pioneer Woman & Serious Eats. Pioneer Woman because she is truly inspiring. I'm actually a newcomer to her blog but in the short time I've been reading I've tried 2 new recipes based on recipes I read on her site just from memory and they were both a success! Very exciting! Serious Eats because I love reading about new restaurants, food trends, and all the latest haps in the food worlds.

Roots and Grubs.

PW, Smitten Kitchen, and Bakerella

I gotta commend Michael Ruhlman and David Lebovitz, along with SE, of course.

Simply Recipes, Pioneer Woman, Rasa Malaysia, Smitten Kitchen, White on Rice Couple, What's for Lunch Honey, Steamy Kitchen, Masak Masak, La Tartine Gourmand, Eating Asia, Just Hungry, Orangette (until she stopped posting regularly), Last Night's Dinner, The Kitchn, Chubby Hubby, Kalofagas, Serious Eats and I don't know, a 100 others! I'm addicted to surfing food blogs, its eating all my time :P I get hungry looking at the photos, then I look for recipes and go make something to eat, then I return to the computer and the face-stuffing begins again! Every day...

other than P-dub and SE? I like Joy the Baker.

I like Pioneer Woman and Serious Eats of course.

SE and Foodgawker for everything-- along with PWC, Deep South Dish, Mennonite Girls Can Cook, Aggie Cooks, and too many more to remember. I just subscribe to the feeds and then drool away.

I'm supposed to pick one favorite? geez. I'll have to go with Smitten Kitchen for her humorous writing style, beautiful pics, and deliciously reliable recipes.

Honestly, Pioneer Woman and SE.
No brown-nosing - those really are my favorites.

Cheap Eats. PW Cooks. Food Porn Daily. This is why you're fat.

Serious Eats - always has interesting things in it.

smitten kitchen and pioneer woman, awesome pictures!

Simply Recipes. About half of the "go-to" recipes in my kitchen binder are printed out from Elise's site. She's writes in a very simple, easy style, and her dishes are diverse, but grounded - she doesn't use a lot of hard-to-find or niche ingredients.

Serious eats is definitely my favorite food blog - and Cupcakes Take The Cake!

I love Orangette, Smitten Kitchen, and Serious Eats of course!

Serious Eats, Smitten Kitchen and Orangette are the food blogs I follow regularly although I check in with a dozen more on occasion.

Smitten Kitchen, though PW Cooks is a close second.

My sister Jilly and I love Ree! Somehow we feel she is a long lost sister. We live about three hours apart and talk every morning before we start our work day usually while looking at the PW website and chatting about it and how we would love to go there! She makes us laugh and cry and salivate! We have tried many many recipes and all of them fabulous. Can't wait to get the book!

I am addicted to food blogs. I read Serious Eats, Pioneer Woman Cooks, the Kitchn, David Lebovitz, Not Eating Out in NY, Eater, Choclate & Zucchini, & Grub Street on a regular basis.

Pioneer Woman, Smitten Kitchen, Joy the Baker, Under the High Chair...

I love PWC, Serious Eats and SF Eater!


toss up: Smitten Kitchen, TGWAE, or David Lebovitz!

Bakerella, Serious Eats and the Pioneer woman are my favorites!

Brown Eyed Baker

I'll give a shoutout to Serious Eats, Smitten Kitchen, Georgia on my Thighs, and Ree's. Not sure I can choose.

The Pioneer Woman is my favorite. Visit it everyday.

I have to visit Pioneer Woman and Blackenedout.blogspot.com on a daily basis

While they may not all be blogs, I read serious eats, chow, and epi every day

Pioneer Woman, Smitten Kitchen and Food Librarian

SE and the Vicarious Foodwhore.

Pioneer woman is my fav

Serious Eats remains my favorite food blog, keeping me up to date in the most simple, attractive, but still exciting way.

SeriousEats and PioneerWoman are two of my visit every day blogs. And The Kitchn. I follow Smitten Kitchen and Baking Bites too!

PioneerWoman, SeriousEats and Milwaukee Magazine: Dish on Dining!

PWC, Smitten Kitchen, and Cafe Fernando

There are a ton of blogs I check up on daily, such as Serious Eats. A few of my favorites include Baking Bites, Smitten Kitchen, Nook and Pantry, and My Baking Addiction =)

Serious Eats, 101 Cookbooks, and Smitten Kitchen.

I believe there's a saying about great minds...?

Smitten Kitchen, just because it was probably the first food blog I came across and therefore has a special place in my...stomach!

http://www.honest-food.net/ aka Hunter Angler Gardener Cook
Humanely harvested fish and game, curing meats, olives, making pickles, growing vegetables, experimenting with weird ingredients.

Walk on the wild side!

well i am on serious eats and grubstreet everyday so... i do love PWC though :)

I like "almost vegetarian".

Besides Serious Eats, UMAMIMART is a great website. Love the recipe for the Japanese style cheesecake. YUM!

closet cooking

i love thepioneerwoman.com! she makes me laugh. and of course, i love serious eats.

I love Homesick Texan.

Oh gosh, I subscribe to so many. But PW consistently provides good recipes and makes me laugh.

You're kidding aren't you, it's Serious eats silly!

Serious Eats! But I seriously love Pioneer Woman too, amongst many others.

PW Cooks is my favorite, with Homesick Texan and Serious right behind.

PW Cooks is the first on the list to check. I don't know why I always think I have one chance in 25,000 to win a kitchen aid mixer. Everything I have made from her website has turned out beautifully. Also liking Bread & Honey blog. SE HAS TO BE THE MOST FUN though. Always look forward to this one... thanks!

It's impossible to narrow it down to just one blog but lately, I've been really enjoying White on Rice Couple. Great stories, food and pictures.

I tend to consider the blog world as an onion with a gazillion layers. Unfaithful as I may be to a certain "congregation" of bloggers, I don't seem to pledge myself to any single group of blogs. I enjoy many and continually discover more. I've discovered some I like. Mainly American's who have chosen residence in Europe. My Kugelhopf and Cowgirl Chef are currently holding my fascination. It's more about what makes them tick and where they are going as much as it is about the food. Its the content for me. I am tempted by Pioneer Woman and all her success and have enjoyed reading her blog. So yea, wouldn't mind being among the winners of her latest baby.

SE, The Food Pornographer, CHOW, and White On Rice couple!

SE is the only one I visit daily, and if I go elsewhere, it's often a link from here. I don't recall what originally drew me here, but as soon as I arrived, I was hooked.

Smitten Kitchen and Steamy Kitchen, among many others!

PW! Its my go-to blog, SE is a close second!

the Smitten Kitchen

besides all the great ones stated above, i really like What's For School Lunch. Not only is it interesting looking at lunches from other countries, but all the USA School Lunches motivate me to make my kids lunches.

The Pioneer Woman rocks it at the top!

The Pioneer Woman Cooks is one of my favorites, which is why this post grabbed my attention. Someone on a message board posted a link to her Crash Hot Potatoes, and I was hooked. Ironically, my other favorite is Vegan Lunchbox, which couldn't be more different. I think I love both for the beautiful photography. Thank you for the terrific offer!

So many to choose from - too many on my RSS reader... Probably my fav and most useful is Chow Times cause they're local to me and have pretty decent recipes and great reviews of restaurants =D

that's like asking my favorite dessert--it's impossible to choose just one. that's my answer, and i'm sticking to it.

Really? No one else has posted for some Thursday Night Smackdown.. ? It's got snark, food, & Top Chef, among other things.. what more could I ask for?

TNS!!!!

Besides Serious Eats, I like David Lebovitz and Chocolate & Zucchini!

Last Night's Dinner for inspiration and Smitten Kitchen for inspiration and reliable recipes ! I check them daily and suffer withdrawal symptoms when they don't post for few days.

There's so many!

Smitten Kitchen is definitely up there. I like Annie's Eats, and I'm a little in love with MattBites.

cdziuba@aol.com I love Jersey Girl Cooks.

Aside from PW which is somewhat a given for most at this point, whether you love or hate her, I visit http://meganscookin.blogspot.com/ I'm not really sure how I came upon her, but her we'll planned yet casual dinner party menus are a delight! She incorporates great food with friends and family!

i have a number that i currently read.... but my current obsession is Bakerella. i just love those lil' cakepops!

Orangette. Lovely writing, yummy recipes.

PW IS my favorite!!

favorite...has to be PW!

How to choose among the dozens that I follow? Well, besides PW, one of my current faves is Chaos in the Kitchen.

I do love the food section of Blog Nosh. Some great recipes there. But the butter loaded recipes of PW are some of my faves :)

PW Is definitely my favorite ever. I love her personality and she had made learning about cooking terribly easy.

I like Bakerella's blog, too!

Serious eats and Smitten Kitchen.

If I had to go with blogs whose recipes I actually make on a regular basis, it would be Pioneer Woman or Homesick Texan. There are plenty of food blogs I enjoy just drooling over, though!

Of course Serious Eats but I also love Food Network Humor!

The Cookbook Chronicles is great. Lorna posts about all sorts of food-related goings-on. PW's Tasty Kitchen is great for browsing everyday recipes.

Serious Eats & PWC.

Dinner With Julie. Maybe because she's Canadian, maybe because she works in media -- whatever, I identify with her.

Well, PW, of course!

I love the Pioneer Woman but am new to Serious Eats. It may soon become one of my favorites!

I just recently discovered PWC, so she is currently my fave!

It's so hard to pick just a few! I love PWC, Kalyn's Kitchen, and Karina's Kitchen

Definitely Pioneer Woman cooks.....easy, funny and good...what more could you ask for? I'd love to get this cookbook....

It's a toss up between PW Cooks and Smitten Kitchen - though I just signed up for Serious Eats, so my mind may change after I have time to really check out this site!!!

PWC, Love it!!

I love annies-eats.com
and Pioneer Woman Cooks.
And Joy the Baker
And Brown Eyed Baker

Love Ree and can't wait to read the book!

I've been a fan of Pioneer Woman for a long time now - visit just about every day so it must be my favorite!

My favorites have to be PW- she covers it all, and Smitten Kitchen- I love the way she writes and her recipes are great!

Smitten Kitchen -- recipes have never let me down!

Aside from the obvious PWC and SE, I'm a huge fan of Smitten Kitchen. All 3 give great ideas/recipes/inspiration for dinner in my house on a regular basis!

Other than PDub, I would say Orangette. Though there have not been too many recipes lately, Molly always speaks to my soul! GF Girl is also in my top three! :)

It just has to be PWC just absolutely love her!

Pioneer Woman, Bakearella, Smitten Kitchen. All great.

Pioneer Woman, Minimally Invasive, Bakerella…

I would have to say Pioneer Woman. I just discovered her website which has lead me to several other food blogging sites such as this one.

Pioneer Woman. I didn't know anything about food blogsites until a friend told me about hers. I don't even know what else is out here!

I enjoy Eat Me Daily, Pioneer Woman, and this site. I also like Cakewrecks for a good laugh.

Joy the baker! She is so sweet and her pictures are great!

PWC is my fav. Although, I am finding more and more every day!

I love The Pioneer Woman!! I have cooked dozens of her recipes without fail. I have learned a ton from her step by step photos and instructions.

I'm new to Serious Eats and Pioneer Woman is the only site I go to regularly.

My absolute favorite is Pioneer Woman Cooks of course but I also totally love Smitten Kitchen and Southern Plate with Christy Jordan.

PW, that's the only one I've found at this point until now. Serious Eats looks interesting. Thanks!!

i don't have lots of time to peruse food blogs with 2 babies, but PWC and i've started to get into smitten kitchen. but lots of time i just look up an ingredient on foodnetwork.com and see what pops up lol

Serious Eats, Pioneer Woman, Bakerella, Smitten Kitchen. I do love PW though.

I'm a long-time fan of Ruhlman's blog and 101 cookbooks.

www.chickensintheroad.com

I enjoy YumSugar as it is a reader's digest of many different food blogs complete with links in case I want to read anything in-depth.

Orangette (though she doesn't seem to be posting anymore).

Pioneer Woman is definitely my favorite food blog....

I love the Pioneer Woman- but Florida has an Awesome Fresh from Florida blog that has recipes and much much more... check it out!

My absolute fave happens to be PWC...followed closely by SmittenKitchen.

I just joined Serious Eats and I LOVE the Pioneer Woman! Yum, yummmmmy!

Pioneer Woman ofcourse!!

Besides Pioneer Woman and Serious Eats, I have really been enjoying Three Many Cooks in Pam Anderson's Kitchen.

It's a close one between Serious Eats (duh) and Pioneer Woman (double duh)- best photos and the most informative!

PWC, and Smitten Kitchen. And now, Serious Eats!

The Pioneer Woman Cooks is one of my favorite food blogs along with Kaytoic Kitchen.

Pioneer Woman! Just found out about your site so you might be next on the list!

The Pioneer Woman!!

Serious Eats, Pioneer Woman, Picky Pallette...I could go on and on. I love food blogs!!!

5$ dinners and mommy snacks

Bakerella, Tasty Kitchen, PW Cooks...I just found your site on Pioneer Woman, so I assume I will have another favorite now :)

PW is my fave blog ever. I have been reading her blog for almost 4 years now.

PW has always been my favorite food blog...I have tried others, but nothing lives up to her!

P-Dub...it makes my day, everyday!

I started off with PWC and it opened me to so many great blogs, regular people doing a great job with awesome culinary skills. Food Gawker is another awesome place to drop in!!

-Ruh

Definitely PWC. And Bakerella. YUM!

PW, Serious Eats, TheKitchn, egullet are all favorites.

Gotta be PW.... I start my morning every day with her...
Just hooked up with your site and there are some "serious eats" on the blog... will be spending sometime checking everything out...

I'm so boring. I thought Rachael Ray was the only cooking spot. I need to branch out and check out some of the sites listed here in the comments.

Love Love Love Bakerella (and Smitten Kitchen, too)!!

I love the Pioneer Woman. Smitten Kitchen or David Lebovitz are also cooking blogs I frequent quite regularly!

Of course PW...I have made so many of her recipes...always a winning dish in my house

I love PWC, that is definitely a fave. I also like this sweet blog called Dine & Dish as well as Baker's Banter, the baking blog for King Arthur flour.

I read PW every single day. She is by far my favorite!

Pioneer Woman is my favorite food blog.

There are so many!! I love PWC and Smitten Kitchen though :)

Gotta give it to Ree. She's very entertaining!

'Crash hot potatoes' was my favorite blog by Pioneer Woman. My Uncle sent it to me and it was the first time I had heard of her. The potatoes are delicious too!

I've never gone wrong with a recipe from My Kitchen Cafe - recipes are fabulous. And of course PWC is a huge favorite!

The Pioneer Woman Cooks! I'm getting some great ideas from many of the other comments as well!

i love pioneer woman. and i love this contest so i can find MORE blogs! yay!

Pioneer woman and Bakerella

I have to say....PWC is my favorite. I keep a laptop in the kitchen with her page on...just in case I have to refer to directions or pictures for recipes. It is the first place I look when I have to figure out "what to make".

I like "Make Life Delicious" - and of course, Pioneer Woman!

Pioneer woman and bakerella are my favorites that I check out daily!

It has to be Tasty Kitchen.

The Pioneer Woman is inspiring...gotta give kudos to Ree for an entertaining writing style on her blog, too. My Baking Addiction is picture poetry. Always fun to visit!

My favorite food blog is Smitten Kitchen. Everything I cook or bake from her site turns out amazing!

Obviously Serious Eats -- but also the ones so often mentioned like Smitten Kitchen and Closet Cooking -- but also Homesick Texan and Living in the Kitchen with Puppies. Their recipes never let you down - and the writing and photos are top quality.

Tastespotting! Leads me to great spots, like PW, Noble Pig, and this one!

I read a good many food blogs, but Pioneer Woman is my favorite.

Just one favorite food blog??? Impossible! :) I love PW, Smitten Kitchen, Food Blogga, Vanilla Garlic, Simply Recipes. But PW has my heart the most - she's from my state!

Gosh, there's so many good ones - PW, Smitten Kitchen, Steamy Kitchen - and I absolutely adore Bakerella!

Kathy

I never really looked at Serious Eats before, so maybe it will by new favorite! Currently I look at Smitten Kitchen and PW Cooks everyday. Love them both!

PW of course.

My favorite food blog is by far Kayotic Kitchen (www.kayotickitchen.com)

Yes, Serious Eats is my favorite food blog, hands down! Keep up the good work!

Ree seems absolutely charming. I am very excited for her cookbook!

so many...but I think my favorite favorites are Pioneer Woman, Smitten Kitchen, and Wednesday Chef.

Pioneer Woman for sure, then Homesick Texan.

Well you never forget "the one who brought you"- so I have to give a nod to Orangette, but thanks to her I have found so many new blog friends to enjoy! Thanks Serious Eats!

Pioneer woman is definitely my most-oft checked foodie blog.... And I love Eat Me Delicious also! She has good vegetarian food and a beautiful kitty :)

of course PW is the best! really any cooking blog where you dont have to sign in, signup or log in is great. But hers definitely has the best recipes I've found.

Pioneer woman is my favorite.... I would LOVE a copy of her cook book.

Next to PW I would say ourbestbites.com

Smitten Kitchen!

I know I love personally working on my food blog (Nutmeg Nanny) but to read I'm a huge fan of Peabody. She takes such great pictures!

I love the Pioneer Woman food blog and the Paula Deen website. I love their food since it is things that my house full of picky eaters would actually eat.

PWC - can't do without it.

I found Serious Eats through TheKitchn, my top two. There are other food blogs I love to read, but TheKitchn has the most recipes I actually end up flagging or making.

Pioneer Woman is my all time favorite!!! I also love Smitten Kitchen and Bakerella

Ree on the Pioneer Woman, then http://kayotickitchen.com/

Pioneer Woman Cooks...such fabulous photos!

I LOVE the Pioneer Woman Website. A friend sent me the link, and I read it almost every single day now (all parts - not just the cooking part!). Ree is so funny and quirky. She reminds me of someone who I would want to be friends with. I love to cook and when I need something new to try, I almost always go to her website to get a recipe. YUM!

Definitely the PW. Everything has been so delicious and it is so easy. love the humor too!

My day is never complete without reading whatever Pioneer Woman has posted in one of her categories. I am halfway through her story of how she met MM in the Black Heels stories! I also read Smitten Kitchen daily and love, love,love that Deb has shared her beautiful son with us!

Favorite blogs? Definitely Serious Eats. Followed closely by Pioneer Woman Cooks.

If we're not counting those two, then David Lebovitz's blog is a great read!

I like all the serious eats feeds, and am especially fond of slice. I also love cake wrecks, and PW.

After PW, my favorite is smittenkitchen.

Can't wait for that cookbook!!

Wow, Pioneer Woman which has led me here. So happy to discover you!

I hope I win!!

Pioneer Woman, absolutely. Her pictures are gorgeous and she always makes something I'm actually interested in eating.

userealbutter.com I love the pictures. :)

other than PWC, I'd say Multiply Delicious

Pioneer Woman, for sure. I also like to check out Smitten Kitchen and others. I have just discovered this one now, so it too, will be a favorite, from now on.

Oh and I'm not the Stacey of Stacey Snacks, but I do love sharing her name :)

I read dozens of food blogs every day and have to say that Serious Eats is one of my favorites. PWC is on the list as well, along with a bunch of local (Baltimore) blogs. It's all good, all informative, all entertaining.

For different reasons: PW Cooks, Smitten Kitchen, and Ono Kine Grindz

Wow, such similar tastes!! Smitten Kitchen is my favorite though -- her pictures are amazingly gorgeous and I've never had one of her recipes fail. The first thing I ever cooked on my own was her version of "Ratatouille's Ratatouille"!

PW cooks IS my favorite... and Tasty Kitchen... I promise I'm not just sucking up...

Thanks for the giveaway~ :)

smitten kitchen :)

My first and favorite is Ree's cooking section. She has introduced me to others that I enjoy, including Bakerella and Smitten Kitchen

My Wooden Spoon is my favorite. I won a food processor from her once!
smchester at gmail dot com

Dessert Comes First! La Tartine Gourmande! There are just so many other excellent food blogs!

Serious Eats, of course and I really enjoy Abra Bennet's French Letters.

I l check PWC every few days and really like Dorie Greenspan

I really enjoy Good Things Catered.

grub street, amateur gourmet, baking bites, ruhlman, 101 cookbooks...serious eats!!!

I love SE and P-Dub!

Its a toss up between smitten kitchen and orangette, though PWC is a fave as well.

Definitely Closet Cooking, Eating Well Living Thin, 30 Bucks a Week

I read The Pioneer Woman daily. Just love her funky sense of humor!

the pioneer woman...of course!

I like PW and Tasty Kitchen.

Besides PIONEER WOMAN ...I love AMATEUR GOURMET ....and newenglandbites.com Lots of food and fun !

Smitten Kitchen and Orangette.

I love love love Pioneer Woman. BUT...after poking around here I think I've found another love. Great site!!

The Pioneer Woman! So smart and witty.

Pioneer Woman and Tasty Kitchen are my two favorites!

I love PW and Bakerella, and love looking at sweetsugarbelle's cookies they are amazing.

Besides PW, Serious Eats

I love,love,love PW!! I have been making nothing but her recipes for the past couple weeks and my family is loving it!

My favorite food blog is Smitten Kitchen.

i SO want this book. pretty please? i love PW, smitten kitchen and wednesday chef.

I check PWC every day. Only problem is, anytime I make one of her "man pleasin" recipes, my husband won't leave me alone!

My favorite is The Pioneer Woman. She is just so funny and sincere, and her recipes all make my mouth water. I also enjoy Simply Recipes, 101 Cookbooks (mostly to look at) and The Amateur Gourmet (but he doesn't post a lot anymore).

It is so hard to pick just one, but my first love was The Amateur Gourmet.

I like Joy the Baker Pioneer Woman Cooks.

Pioneer Woman was the first blog I ever read, food or otherwise, and I still read her several years later. I also read a bunch of the blogs listed in other comments, and in scrolling through found several more that I've just added to my reader - so thanks everybody! One blog that I didn't see mentioned was Fooducate...they don't have recipes but they talk about food issues.

Smitten Kitchen and Pioneer Woman are my absolute favorites. Their writing is so natural, and they seem so down to earth!

Pioneer Woman is great.
I skim through a lot of others.
I also like gluten-free girl.

PWC is my fave.

Bakerella! Mouthwatering, adorable and impressive, I know it's just desserts and such but man are her pictures gorgeous!!

I've been reading Ree since her earliest days...before she segmented her blog into niches; obviously she's a favorite. I can't believe I haven't seen more people shouting out for Paula Deen in this comment thread (though I only skimmed content) and though I peek in on others, these are my "go to's" for recipes.

And yes...I'm crossing my fingers I win one of PW's cookbooks!!

xo

I'm addicted to SE and PWC, but I also like The Old Foodie for the interesting historical food information.

I definitely love the Pioneer Woman and have been reading her blog for years, but when it comes to versatility, variety of recipe styles and food news, Serious Eats is the hands down winner in my book.

Serious Eats is my favorite!

Coconut & Lime is a long time favorite for me. I started reading PW in the last 6 months, but I've already tried a few of her recipes. I'd love to flip through her whole book!

Pioneer Woman is the one I read every day. Another one I love is Cooking for Engineers.

more often than not, i find myself going back to smitten kitchen for recipes.

PWC is the best!

Michael Ruhlman, Stacey Snacks and Serious Eats!

Other than the Nasty Bits section on Serious Eats, I really like the Frugal Kiwi:

http://frugalkiwi.co.nz/

Ohhh and No Pattern Required (check out the weekly Mid-Century Meal):

I read Pioneerwoman everyday. She makes me smile

I just recently found Pioneer Woman--love her site and recipes, and Ethel Merman impersonation. :) Wonderful pictures--nothing better. Love Paula Deen's site as well!

Well, I have read PW for several years, but a newbe to food blogs. Do like what I see here have signed up for the newsletter and put you on my favorite list!

Definitely PWC. : )

Although I love Pioneer Woman too, my favorite is probably La Tartine Gourmande.

I love Vanilla-Garlic! It makes makes me drool and itch to cook something!

I love "Nuts for Nutrition" done by a Colorado registered dietian, "Homesick Texan" because I am married to one, and of course, PWC!

Serious Eats. It's varied, there's always new content, some of it's serious, some of its not. What is not to love, I ask you?

I'm between David Lebovitz, 101 Cookbooks, Foodie At Fifteen (Now 16), and Smitten Kitchen.

PWC and Serious Eats

I'm just getting started on getting hooked on food blogs - Cake Wreaks and PWC are my first and favs

There are so many good ones!
PWC is an all around great blog not just food
Seriouseats
FoodGawker (technically an agregate not a blog but I still love it)
Bakerella
Proud Italian Cook
Bake at 350
ruhlman.com
I could go on and on really.

Serious Eats is my favorite food blog. I also like A Hamburger Today, Baker's Banter, Homesick Texan and Candy Addict.

Seriously - Serious Eats, I have a tattoo to prove it.

Love Smitten Kitchen. I'm new to PWC, but definitely enjoying it.

101cookbooks.com. healthy, creative, and tasty! not to mention beautiful photos.

PW (Cooks, confessions, and photography)
Smitten Kitchen
Simply Recipes
101 cookbooks

I love Southern Plate, in addition to PW and SE.

Hmh...so many to choose from, but aside from SE, I'd have to go with ieatishootipost which blogs all the yummy Singaporean food I miss since I moved back to the US!

CakeWrecks or ThisIsWhyYou'reFat. :)

So many to choose! Use Real Butter, Orangette, 101 cookbooks to name a few...

Pioneer Woman! I read it all the time and every recipe I have tried of hers has come out wonderfully! Especially that chocolate sheet cake.. :-)

I check in at the Pioneer Woman blog EVERY day - many times a day. I also cannot live without blogs like: Use Real Butter, Bakerella, Steamy Kitchen, Bake at 350, Smitten Kitchen, the King Arthur Baker's Blog... There are so many wonderful food blogs - It's so difficult to choose just one!

Thank you for the give-away!

I like Slashfood!

I do love me some Pioneer Woman, but I have to say that Hungry Girl is definitely more in line with my healthy lifestyle goals!

Mine is "Mahanandi" filled with wonderful, never-fail Indian vegetarian cuisine. It is a window into Indian home-cooking of a type never found in restaurants.

101 Cookbooks rocks -- but I feel like I need to branch out in order to not repeat many of the above favorites... So how about:
Eat, Drink & Be Vegan
A Veggie Venture
The Daily Struggles of the Domestic Un-Goddess
The Nourishing Gourmet

The list could go on!!

closetcooking!

This is my first visit to Serious Eats, so who knows, it may become a new fave. Longtime fan of PW and also Heidi at 101 Cookbooks.

PW of course and the kitchn and foodgal and bakerella and smitten kitchen..hhmm think I have a problem

smitten kitchen was my first, and my favorite. but SE, PWC and the girl who ate everything are not far behind!

Has to be PW, without a doubt. I check it several times a day.

Has to be Ree Drummond. A farm gal myself, it's fun to see how the young gals are cookin' on a ranch.

So many - but lately SE is my first read

My favorite food blog is David Lebovitz, but PW Cooks is a very close second.

Pioneer Woman Cooks -- I want to be PW when I grow up. Cooking her food lets me pretend I am on the ranch.

101 Cookbooks, Serious Eats, David Lebovitz and of course PWC

Simply Recipes, cheaphealthygood.blogspot.com, PW, Serious Eats. And 101 Cookbooks.

Smitten Kitchen, PWC, and of course Serious Eats!

Serious Eats (*butt-kiss*butt-kiss*)
101 Cookbooks
and
The Food in my Beard
are my go-to's.

PWC, Smitten Kitten,
Chocolate and Zucchini and Poorgirleatswell

I love Smitten Kitchen!

Okay, my absolute favorite is A Wee Bit Of Cooking: http://aweebitofcooking.co.uk

But a very close tie would be Whats for Lunch, Honey: http://whatsforlunchhoney.blogspot.com
since it is so beautiful!

I'm going to try to avoid the ones people have already mentioned... how about Not Exactly Bento (which is bento-geared but also so much more, and has a really approachable style and gorgeous photos)... and... hmm. Oh, Midtown Lunch... even though I don't work in Midtown... lol

Pioneer Woman and Cake Wrecks

My Google reader is organized in queue with the blogs I love:

1) Cannelle et Vanille & David Lebovitz
2) 101 Cookbooks
3) The Girl Who Ate Everything; The Amateur Gourmet & A Passion for Food

Tartelette, Alpine Berry, and Serious Eats.

Matt Bites, despite the intermittent posts, I have my fingers crossed every time I go to the site.

Bakerella & Pioneer Woman Cooks

Orangette! I miss her.

smitten kitchen

The Pioneer Woman Cooks is probably my favorite foor blog. I've been to serious eats in the past (usually linked from PW), but don't cook enough to have more than one favorite (if I only had the time...and the $)

PWC! Fun, delicious recipes that remind me of home!

PWC and userealbutter :)

PWC, of course. Also love 101 Cookbooks--couldn't be more different.

Smitten Kitchen and David Lebovitz!

I love Elise's Simply Recipes and Dorie Greenspan's baking blog from Paris!

Pioneer Woman
Tartlette - the most amazing photos
Smitten Kitchen
looks like I'm not the only one with this list!
Serious Eats is a newbie for me......

alongside SE and PWC, I'd add Metrocurean

Oh, there are so many incredible blogs out there. PW. for sure, 101 cookbooks, Smitten Kitchen, Edible Aria. But I also read a few of the "alternative" food blogs like Nourishing Days and the Nourishing Gourmet. Love food blogs!! Yours is new to me and I can't wait to dig in!

Of course it's Serious Eats!

PWC -- Marlboro Man's Favorite Sandwich -- yum!

Of course it's Serious Eats!

PWC, Smitten Kitchen, and Simply Recipes.

Smitten Kitchen, goodLife Eats, foodblogga

The Food in my Beard

PWC, SE, and Simply Recipes

That's a hard one! Stacey Snacks, Smitten Kitchen, PWC, Simply Recipes and Serious Eats. :)

Serious Eats!
The Girl Who Ate Everything
Epicute
Cannelle et Vanille

In addition to the Pioneer Woman, my favorites are DCFoodies and The Bitten Word because both are local food blogs. DC Foodies keeps me up on all local food related happenings and The Bitten Word inspires me to use all of those cooking magazines I receive each month in the mail.

Pioneer Woman Cooks is definitely my favorite food blog. Gotta check it and Tasty Kitchen each day!

smitten kitchen! beautiful new baby and delicious food...

smitten kitchen! beautiful new baby and delicious food...

PWC, 101 Cookbooks, and Bitten

Too many to pick! Pioneer Woman, Smitten Kitchen, Wednesday Chef...

Serious Eats & 101 Cookbooks are tied for favorite, with Herbivoracious and Chocolate & Zucchini close behind.

Pioneer Woman and Serious Eats are the only two I read :). Who's recipes do i make more often? Probably Ree's. So bad for you... but so good!

Besides PWC, my favorite blog would have to be bread and honey. It's simple and unassuming, but the writing is engaging and the pictures are breathtaking.

PWC and Smitten Kitchen plus a whole lot more!

Love PW's cooking section and Bakerella.

PioneerWoman! I have made many of her recipes...usually with a little less butter though ;-)

I don't know if any blog beats PWC, but I do have a soft spot for The Amateur Gourmet. It was the first food blog I discovered, and as an amateur myself, I adored it immediately.

Serious Eats, of course! It's my one-stop food fix, and often leads me to other interesting pages as well!

Besides Serious Eats of course, Luxirare (fashion + food) is a fav.

Definelty the Pioneer Woman!

Pioneer Woman, Smitten Kitten, Steamy Kitchen, and so so many more

I love Serious Eats, PWC, Cheap Healthy Good, Vegan Dad, and a local one for me, Poor Girl Eats Well.

Besides SE, I love Cupcakes Take the Cake. It's my favorite place for yummy cupcake food porn :)

I love this recipe site called southernfood it's just a recipe site, but the stuff always turns out so well!

maangchi for korean recipes because i can't read korean cookbooks - takes too long to translate!

I like Serious Eats because it covers ALL the facets from cooking to eating and everything in between.

I also love Cakewrecks because it always, ALWAYS makes me laugh out loud!

Although I visit a lot of food blogs I would have to say my favourite is PW. I made a bunch of her recipes for Thanksgiving and they were a hit!

I really love Cheap Healthy Good. That and The Kitchn are probably a tie.

Honestly, PW is the only one I read. I go to other recipe sites, but hers is the only blog.

Serious Eats is at the top of my food blog reading list. As for individual blogs, I think Smitten Kitchen is the first one that shows up from the top.

Besides Serious Eats, my fave has to be Joy the Baker . . .

First stop is always PW, but close seconds are Joy the Baker and Smitten Kitchen.

First stop is always PW, but close seconds are Joy the Baker and Smitten Kitchen.

My newest favorite food blog is www.monsoonspice.com!! So many fabulous Asian recipes!!

SERIOUS EATS for me!!!!!!!

Besides this one, I have to go with Smitten Kitchen. Beautiful pictures!

Serious Eats and Pioneer Woman are the only two that have made the cut on to my rss reader…

I'd have to go with The Pioneer Woman or Culinary Concoctions by Peabody.

Serious Eats and Smitten Kitchen! And Joy the Baker, because she loves all things sweet, just like me!

besides SE?? David Leibovitz, Orangette, Homesick Texan...there are so many!

I love the Pioneer Women ....OwlHaven...and Hungry-Girl ..and of course Serious Eats and does Cake Wrecks count as a food blog, because Jen is soooooo funny!

I would love to win The Pioneer Woman Cooks! I have cooked some of her recipes from her website and it is so good.

Favs are The Pioneer Woman, of course, and Bakerella. The Pioneer Woman because I love the fresh tone of her blog and I read ALL of them :) even the homeschooling one. And Bakerella because how can you not? She makes such cute yummy things?!

oh my goodness - it IS hard to select a chose few. I love PW, Leite's Culinaria, and diana bauman's spain in iowa

Serious Eats! KAF!! Smitten Kitchen!! Pioneer Woman!! Why only pick one?

My favorite food blog is Pioneer Woman Cooks.

The Pioneer Woman all the way!

In addition to Pioneer Woman, I like Serious Eats, Smitten Kitchen, Simply Recipes. Now if only Ina Garten would have a blog!

My favorite is Ree, followed by Proud Italian Cook, Bakerella, She Wears Many Hats,Savory Sweet Life, Chocolate&Zucchini, and on and on!

visit Serious Eats

Too many in my Google Reader, but I love Matt Bites and David Lebovitz, to name a few.

Pioneer Woman! I visit her site every day and she is responsible for 2 of my current (and maybe all time) favorite recipes!

I really like Ree's blog, in addition to Bakerella, Noble Pig, Big Red Kitchen and Chaos in the Kitchen, I'm very much fond of blogs that have step by step pictures :)

Pioneer Woman mostly, tho I peruse a few, just too bad they all make me want to eat more than I should ...

I love Pioneer Woman Cooks, Bakerella, and Brown Eyed Baker, oh yeah and Serious Eats of course.

I love PW! Her lasagna is so yummy. My favorite blogs are Bakerella and My Happy Meals

andrus.shelly at gmail.com

So many foodie blogs, so little time but...

I read Serious Eats every single day...it's like the NYT for foodies
I go to PW often...love her humor and down-hominess (but no Minnie Pearl here!)
Lady Disdain and EAT LA are also faves.

I love PW, but I go to Bakerella for cute baking and decorating ideas. I just made one of her recipes yesterday!

I go to PWC EVERY DAY! But also to Serious Eats. And RecipeZaar (not a blog, though.)

I real PWC and Serious Eats every day, But I also read www.mennonitegirlscancook.blogspot.com

Good recipes!

I like Pioneer Woman Cooks and Eatingkorean.com and of course Serious Eats. And 101 Cookbooks

Pioneer Woman Cooks, Amateur Gourmet, and Serious Eats. In no particular order :)

PWC and Smitten Kitchen...and Bakerella... and...oh nevermind. I could go on forever :-)

i've never had a recipe turn out wrong from orangette. the photography of smitten ktichen makes me drool, too!

culinate is a great read
the kitchen is also fun and inspirational

Simply Recipes. Love it.

For the past two years, Pioneer Woman Cooks has been my go-to, culinary mecca when I need inspiration and a chuckle. Ree is phenominal and I love whole whole site just as much as I love the cooking section. She is the foul temptress that fills my house with apple dumplings and pan-seared steaks. And I thank her for it.

Serious eats is my second favorite :o)

Pioneer Woman is definitely my fave, but I'm also a big fan of A Hamburger Today.

The ones I visit daily are Serious Eats,and Simply Recipes, but I think my favorites are not really blogs. Tastespotting and Food Gawker.

Mango & Tomato (mangotomato.blogspot.com) - This is one that I found recently and just fell in love with. The Recipes are mostly simple but absolutely mouth-watering.

SE, PWC, and Dinner Tonight!

Pioneer Woman Cooks is my favorite.

PW and Bakerella

I love Pioneer Woman Cooks. She is so funny.

Serious Eats, Simply Recipes, 101 Cookbooks and Smitten Kitchen. Orangette and Steamy Kitchen from time to time as well.

But, having just discovered The Pioneer Woman Cooks, I have a new cooking blog to check out. That site looks amazing.

I like Bitten.

My fav food blogs are Serious Eats, Pioneer Woman and Chickens in the Road (although maybe that's technically a food blog, but it has tons of step by step recipes for good country food.

I love smitten kitchen and pioneer woman. I've just discovered serious eats and I think I'm falling in love again!

serious eats, pioneer woman, for the love of cooking, joy the baker, real mom kitchen, closet cooking & blog chef.

pioneer women, cookie madness, baking bites, and serious eats!

pioneer woman and bakerella and smitten kitchen and serious eats...

Oh gosh... well, I'd be remiss if I didn't plug my own blog, Dena's Recipe Exchange. And I also really love the Pioneer Woman, truth be told. In fact, I discovered her when you guys mentioned her a couple of years ago!

Pioneer Woman, of course!!

I'm a HUGE fan of Joy the Baker, CakeWrecks, and Serious Eats. I'm also a fan of The Kitchen.

I love to read: Cooking with Trader Joes http://blog.cookingwithtraderjoes.com/

I really enjoy the King Arthur blog and Taste and Tell blog. Both are daily stops for me.

It's a toss-up between David Lebovitz and the lovely Ree...

My favorite is Chocolate & Zucchini, but I also like many of the others mentioned above and found some new ones to check out.

PWC, David Lebovitz, SmittenKitchen, Elise.....

Viet World Kitchen--it's the gateway to eating exotic Southeast Asian cuisine.

Even though it's not all food all the time, I love Farmgirl Fare.

i'm a great collector of cook books and i do not have this one

So Many to choose from -
so here is my top 5

1. The Pioneer Woman
2. Serious Eats
3. Bakerella
4. This Week for Dinner
5. Smitten Kitchen

The Pioneer Woman, Tartlette, and Use Real Butter- all amazing blogs!!

I have Pioneer Woman, Smitten Kitchen, Serious Eats, and Pham Fatale on my blog reader; even though I read others as well, these are the ones I look to most for inspiration and recipes.

I love Pioneer Woman's site. But I'm not terribly loyal to just one site, and end up hopping all around!

My favorites (in no particular order):
-Orangette

My favorites are Thursday Night Smackdown and Bye Bye Pie.

I visit Serious Eats daily and Smitten Kit. weekly.

Smitten Kitchen and Orangette!

Serious Eats
Cooktobang

Actually - Pioneer Woman Cooks is my favorite. The pictures are so pretty!

Recipegirl.com, Bakerella.com, cakewrecks.com! :)

Oh, and how could I forget crockpot365.blogspot.com ???

TGWAE - love the photos, love the tone - & it's how I found SE

Tigers & Strawberries taught me how to make an amazing Chinese stir-fry. It used to be my very favorite, but the posts lately haven't been technique focused (either they've been non-food or specific recipes), so it's not at the moment. Still - the older posts on technique are some of my very favorite cooking blog posts of all time.

Pioneer woman, Smitten Kitchen, minxeats, Serious Eats (of course!). Yeah, I'm just one of the sheep. :)

I do love me some seriouseats...I've also got some of my friends hooked :)

Serious Eats, follwed by the Kitchn

I like Foodbuzz.com Great ford porn pics!

My favorite is probably Pioneer Woman Cooks, because of the gorgeous pictures, great commentary and regularity of postings. My other favorite is Simply Recipes. With its basic format, good photos and straightforward recipes, I get a good vibe from the site. Plus, I made the hamburger stroganoff the other day, which still has me high.

Pioneer Woman, Smitten Kitchen, Lunch in a Box, and TGWAE!

I love PWC and I'm here every day but the first food blog I really got hooked on was Smitten Kitchen.

I love PWC and I'm here every day but the first food blog I really got hooked on was Smitten Kitchen.

Orangette, Chocolate & Zuchini, an Ordinary Life and of course Serious Eats.

Serious Eats NY is my favorite, followed by the Paupered Chef

SavortheThyme.blogspot.com

I have to say that Pioneer Woman is my favorite, followed by a close second--Serious Eats. I have used several of her recipes...and she's a source of inspiration everyday.

Besides the obviously two =) here are a few of my other favorites:

Sugar Plum
Bakerella
Smitten Kitchen
Picky Palate

Serious Eats, Ruhlman, Eater LA,

I liked Whipped and John Thorne's Simple Cooking. I just wish John posted more.

Smitten Kitchen. I also love bakerella and of course serious eats.

Besides Serious Eats? I love Steamy Kitchen, Pioneer Woman and Simply Recipes.

Although technically not a "food blog" it does feature food. I love Cakewrecks.

For a real food blog, I go for PWC and Bakerella.

I really love PWC actually! And Bakerella....pretty things...

serious eats, of course!!

I read Tasty Kitchen and Pioneer Woman. I love both sites.

besides PWC, i like "how to eat a cupcake" and "adventures in bento making."

of course there's always zagat buzz (sf edition) and serious eats. duh!

I enjoy "Dessert First" because obviously dessert is the best part of meals!

http://www.dessertfirst.typepad.com/

Pioneer Woman is one of my favorites and the poppers are fabulous. And of course Serious Eats as well as Bittman's Blog

Pioneer Woman is one of my favorites and the poppers are fabulous. And of course Serious Eats as well as Bittman's Blog

Serious Eats
Pioneer Woman
Arbor Teas

Use Real Butter, Smitten Kitchen and ruhlman.

Other than Serious Eats and Pioneer Woman:
Smitten Kitchen
Amateur Gourmet
Slashfood

Pioneer Woman, hands down. I read it everyday.

Simply Recipes and 101 Cookbooks were my introduction to food blogs many years ago (ok, maybe only 5 years) and remain some of my favorites today.

Besides SE, Closet Cooking would have to be my favorite.

Besides PW, Apartment Therapy: The Kitchen

Besides Serious Eats, I really like Cannelle et Vanille.

I read the following foodie websites everyday:
Serious Eats
Cake Wrecks
Smitten Kitchen
This is Why You're Fat
Epic Portions
The Pioneer Woman
A Hamburger Today
Joy the Baker
Boots in the Oven
Fancy Fast Food
and The Food in My Beard
I think it's safe to say I'm obsessed with reading, cooking and eating foods of all typess.
Ree's pictures however take the cake on drool-worthiness.

For the writing, Thursday Night Smackdown. For the recipes, Our Best Bites, which comes in far behind SE.

Cooking Ventures
The Girl who ate Everything
PW is my fave

Smitten Kitchen!! But I must say, I do love me so me Serious Eats, too.

It really is The Pioneer Woman Cooks site... has been for a few years now.

I love PWC! There are lots of favorites! Hard to pick just one. So, I'll plug and toot my own horn at Fire up the oven! (Well, I just started it and I surely don't want to have to pick out of all my favorties. I have a whole folder of favorites in my browser!!)

Love The Pioneer Woman and SmittenKitchen.

My favorite foodie blog is raspberry eggplant. I love her desserts!

Serious Eats of course! and Orangette.

Serious Eats, Smitten Kitchen and Pioneer Woman are the three food blogs I'm most excited to see pop up on my rss reader!

Pioneer Woman Cooks and Serious Eats, hands down favorites.

PWC, SlashFood, Serious Eats

Serious Eats, of course...but also PDub and 101 Cookbooks, for my nicely balanced life!

Pioneer Woman and Southern Plate several times a day each! Then there is Bakerella, Joy The Baker, Serious Eats, and nearby to me here Enlightened Cooking, of course. Many, many more but these are my really favorites!

serious eats of course!

I have a serious Serious Eats addiction.

Use Real Butter

The ones I read all of the time is Pioneer Woman and Southern Plate. We just had Ree's Onion Strings for dinner tonight!

PWC AND Simply Recipes

Smitten Kitchen, PWC, serious eats and green & crunchy http://www.greenandcrunchy.org/

PWC and Serious Eats!

Serious Eats and 101 Cookbooks

www.yourhomebasedmom.com has amazing recipes!

Sorry, Serious Eats. My favorite food blog is Pioneer Woman's. She's so funny. She makes me feel good. Her recipes look so tasty, so classy, and so easy.

A year of Crockpotting is a favorite of mine. I have made several of her recipes. I made a turkey breast today in my crock pot. Yummy..semtaylor(at)yahoo(dot)com

I read her blog every single day and just love it!

I really love PWC

101 cookbooks and smitten kitchen

Viet World Kitchen and Smitten Kitchen

PWC, thekitchn, seriouseats

I love the Pioneer Woman's site.

Most definitely PW, smitten Kitchen,Serious eats, Bakerella.

Besides Serious Eats, I love Apartment Therapy's The Kitchn.

Besides Serious Eats, I love Apartment Therapy's The Kitchn.

Hands down, PWC. SmittenKitchen, too. Just found this one, will have to stick around awhile and browse!

I really like Karina's kitchen for gluten free recipes. The PW site is also, of course, great.

Pioneer Woman and Serious Eats, no lie!

PWC and Serious Eats are my top two. I do like SmittenKitchen and just discovered Bell'alimento for my italian fixes.

This one, and smitten kitchen.

101 Cookbooks probably tops the list. I'm not even vegetarian but I learn so much from there. That's not to forget, of course, PWC, SE, smitten kitchen, Kalyn's Kitchen, bitchin' camero, and Simply Recipes

I love SE and Alinea at Home. Carol is hilarious.

I love SE and Alinea at Home. Carol is hilarious.

I read Serious Eats, Pioneer Woman Cooks, and Smitten Kitchen pretty much every day.

I love Smitten Kitchen, it is truly a source of inspiration on a very regular basis! It was fabulous when Deb from Smitten visited Ree's Ranch as it provided some very interesting recipes on both sites.

To be perfectly honest, SE is the only food blog I have in my "favorites" section. I've never entered a cookbook giveaway, but this gal seems so have some serious fire.

Serious Eats, the often SE-linked Good Wine under $20, Bitten, and Chow are four of several I read daily. Smitten Kitchen is good, but not updated often enough.

On a side note, I wish Jill Santopietro would make more Tiny Kitchen videos for the NYTimes' Moment blog.

Pioneer Woman is by far my favorite and her blog is what got me into blogs in the first place! I would love this cookbook!

I love PW, she has great pictures and it's always fun reading her posts.

Mark Bittman's Bitten blog is great. Smitten Kitchen, been eating the leftovers from one of her recipes all week, delicious. And Serious Eats, of course. Also, Carpe Durham for keeping me up-to-date on the local food trends!

the paupered chef!

Pioneer woman and, of course, serious eats! PW is funny and the photography takes food porn to a whole new level. SE on the other hand has loads of informative and interesting content.

I love so many and I'm new at finding most of these but my top right now are :
serious eats (seriously!)
pwc
smitten kitchen
joy of cooking
mark bittman's bitten blog
the purple foodie

thanks!!

Serious Eats is the one I visit everyday.
But since this may not be a qualifying answer... let's say David Lebovitz.
