Pioneer Woman Challenge: 2010
Our love of The Pioneer Woman’s cooking blog is older than our own blog. Her eclectic home-style kitchen creations sang to our heart-songs, and we’d been devotees of her recipes long before Jennie received the Pioneer Woman Cookbook for Christmas in 2009. Emboldened by our friends and family’s warm reception of our young blog, and since we’d both recently read Julie and Julia, we decided we needed a project. In February of 2010, the Pioneer Woman Challenge was born. It seemed like a simple plan. 65 recipes in a little under 12 months seemed like a comfortable pace, and it was for a while. By Autumn of 2010, however, we started to feel the crunch. The last few months of the PW Challenge were a frenzied race to the finish line, and we loved every second of it. We learned to trust the Pioneer Woman and to trust each other. We also gained about ten pounds of butter weight. Read through the PW Challenge posts to relive the madness.

This pot pie was out of this world. Stop reading this. Go make it. You won’t be sorry.
