The Pioneer Woman

Ree Drummond is making things easy with four great recipes, from pork carnitas, that take less time than usual in a multicooker, to slow-cooker Irish oats for a get-ahead breakfast.

Ree makes a fantastic cocktail-hour spread, complete with Bloody Mary shrimp cocktails, steak and brie bites, glazed mini brownies and more.

Ree Drummond opens up in a fun Q&A session about kids, with some of the questions coming from her pint-sized fans. Her answers include an 11-carrot cake and ravioli à la Bobbi, named after one of her young questioners.

Ree shares four recipes that can be on the table in less than 40 minutes, including chicken with pesto cream, Cajun veggie pasta, sheet pan shrimp puttanesca and skirt steak with bok choy.

Ree goes over the top, taking some of her favourite recipes to the Nth degree, including mac-and-cheese-stuffed peppers, grilled French toast, fried chicken pizza and funnel cake sundaes.

Ree mourns the loss of her mother-in-law by preparing a variety of dishes for the family based on her favourite meals and classic recipes.
