Pioneer Woman's newest book

I love that you can make the topping ahead of time!

Yum!

Pioneer Woman's newest cookbook came out a few days ago. I want to make everything! I decided to try the Make Ahead Muffin Melts for dinner last night.  Be warned! Do not make these for your family for dinner on a night when you have to run 60 minutes of hills! I couldn't help myself from sampling a few too many bites of these before I headed out for my run. Lets just say that I didn't do so great on the run last night and leave it there. The muffin melts were divine. A great hearty and filling dinner for everyone. I did enjoy one when I got home at 8:30 last night. I just know to not make anything that tempting before a run. I halved the recipe and still had leftovers. Everyone enjoyed one for breakfast this morning.

Book signing with Pioneer Woman

On Friday I went to Cincinnati with a group of friends to meet my favorite cookbook author/blogger Ree Drummond. We went down last month to get advance tickets for the signing at Rookwood Commons. I brought my beloved cookbook and her newest novel to be signed. It was such a wonderful night hearing her talk and meeting her in person. She is lovely! So elegant and sweet. She was laughing and joking with everyone she met.  I was able to show her my cookbook and how well loved it is (aka messy)! It was such a great night for all of us. After the signing we went to Sur La Table and picked out a few things and then headed to YAGOOT for frozen yogurt. This was definitely a favorite night.
