I love this time of year when Christmas is in full swing. Our tree is decorated with ornaments collected through the years, mantle adorned with swags of fir, and Christmas music playing throughout our house – O Holy Night and Handel’s Messiah being my favorites.
And it is in the spirit of Christmas I am happy to announce a special giveaway on Savory Sweet Life. Ree Drummond’s cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl has only been released for five weeks and has already achieved being a #1 New York Times Best Seller in its second week. Each tour stop, fans wait 5-6 hours to have their pictures taken and their books signed. I’ve even seen people tweet about these Pioneer Woman Tour t-shirts being handed out. Everyone loves Ree and I love how she loves everyone right back – including me.
In October I posted my review of “The Pioneer Woman Cooks” along with a giveaway for a signed copy. Since then I’ve enjoyed cooking and eating our way through it with joy. My favorite recipe so far is Rib-Eye Steak with Whiskey Cream Sauce. I love all things Pioneer Woman – I have no shame confessing this. Ree Drummond is an amazing woman with an incredibly generous heart. So it’s with much excitement to announce that Savory Sweet Life in partnership with Ree, is giveaway 10 copies of The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl!
What is very special about this giveaway is that four of the ten copies will be given away to members or their spouses in the US Military. I appreciate the men and women and their families who serve this country sacrificially. My little sister will be leaving for her 2nd deployment to the Middle East in a few weeks – its to honor her I’m setting aside copies for military personnel.
To enter the giveaway just share a favorite part of Christmas or this Holiday season in the comment section. And if you are in the US Military or married to someone in the US Military please make a note of this as well. Giveaway is open to US mailing addresses only including Military AFO/APO boxes.
Contest will be closed 1 week from today on Friday, Dec. 11th at midnight PST. Merry Christmas!
*Giveaway is now closed and winners have been announced here

After enduring the never-ending adventure of holiday travel, it’s arriving home in Minnesota, driving the few hours to my mom’s home on a lake, surrounded by a mostly undisturbed layer of fluffy snow. My mom, stepdad, brother, brother’s girlfriend and I all commence to brainstorming food plans (aided by a good share of wine) and spend most of the afternoon catching up, sauteeing, chopping, baking, and drinking – all in all, the essence of home to me.
My favorite part of Christmas is the creation of new traditions every year. Now that my 2 daughters are married moms, they are adding to the collection of traditions/memories we’ve had for many years. For example, my older daughter bought matching jammies for her 3-year-old and 8-month-old little girls for them to wear Christmas Eve and all through the winter. She plans to do this every year. Our very favorite family event is to worship at early Christmas Eve service, then have dinner together at The Cheesecake Factory. We started this tradition when we were just a family of 4, newly relocated to Texas, with no family or friends. Now our family has increased to 9, with even more family and friends who tag along once they hear of our plans. Soon we’ll take over the entire restaurant! Merry Christmas, everyone!!!
My favorite part is getting together with family and Christmas , playing games and just being together!
Oooohh – I love PW! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
Count me in! I’d love to win this!
See that? I am always too late for everything. Went to bookstores and
tried to find Ree’s cookbook. No luck.
However, did find a food mill so that I can make the ketchup that
sounds so good. Looking now for a le creuset dutch oven for , just
cause I want one. At 77 years old, I guess that I should get what I want.
Don’t you think? I am on the site every day. janet
