You may be seeing a trend in my favorite recipes…but Jared and I have a special affinity for the Pioneer Woman’s food – it just speaks to our souls. If you were to walk into my kitchen you’d see every Pioneer Woman cookbook and her place settings to match. Meals for hungry cowboys & cowgirls really hit home during supper time. Many of you reading this may already have dinner reservations at your favorite place in town, but if you want to skip the crowds and Valentine’s Day traffic, try whipping up one of her recipes at home!
Jared & I will not be hitting the town for our Valentine’s Day celebrations. And we are totally OK with that. Like most nights you can find us home and in bed by 9 p.m…..sometimes we even make it to hear the weather on the 10 o’clock news! Now I know what you’re thinking, “Once you get married you never do anything anymore..blah, blah, blah.” In our case, our social life hasn’t dwindled because we got married…Jared and I are at it alone for bringing new calves into the world. We both work hard all day and then set our alarms every 2 hours each night to check cows. If there is an emergency, we bundle up & head to the barn, no matter the time. So far we’ve had 43 calves – a small dent in the herd. This month will be a big month for us and each night we’re praying to wake up to 6 calves to speed things up a bit 🙂
Jared and I went to a concert with some friends on a Wednesday night. We didn’t get home till 2 a.m. and had to go to the barn at 5 a.m. to help a heifer with a calf. I really thought about starting to drink coffee that day….
Next week Jared & I are going to take a swing at making Ree Drummond’s Beef Fajitas. We absolutely love Mexican food and can proudly say we can eat an entire jar of salsa in two days.
I advise checking out her blog post about making them. It’s sure to make your mouth water!
