It's all about work, food and fun on the Pioneer Woman's ranch where she's cooking up a fabulous spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta lunch for her hungry kids. Then, with the kids on a sleepover, it's a rare date night, frontier-style. Ree's rustling up his-and-her versions of Ladd's Favorite Sandwich and a Drummond classic, Egg-in-Hole, for breakfast. But stand by for dinner and breakfast crashers, as well as a cool, refreshing Oklahoma-style Cherry Limeade and one accidental ranch wife who is not planning to help with the fence painting.
Ree Drummond uses Calabrian chiles, sundried tomato pesto, basil and Parmesan in this version of her pantry pasta dish, but the key is to experiment with what you have on hand and enjoy!
There's a battle of the sexes going down on the ranch where the guys like their food brown and hearty. There's a blind taste test to see if punchy Penne alla Vodka can win a coveted spot on Ladd's approved list. Then when the guys are away, eating steak and potatoes, the girls will play, and Ree's throwing a cowgirl's dinner the guys would hate with elegant, sophisticated Goat Cheese with Fresh Dill appetizers, chilled Sangria, and a hip Fig-Prosciutto Pizza with Arugula.
Ree Drummond takes a traditional pub salad and spreads it out on an eye-catching board, arranging stacks of pickled green beans, crispy prosciutto flakes, pickled beets, white cheddar and luscious soft-boiled eggs.
Ree Drummond makes a magical sundae starring orange sherbet, strawberry ice cream and crispy rice cereal treats, and she tops it off with a bright red and blue chocolate ganache drizzle and -- of course -- a cherry!

Five crafty cookie makers turn back the clock with their own interpretation of a young Santa and Mrs. Claus before hosts Ree Drummond and Eddie Jackson decide which designs stand the test of time. Then, the bakers reach deep into the roots of Christmas by building cookie greenhouses with edible windows where Christmas trees can grow and thrive. Their gorgeous greenhouses will be infused with fresh herbs, including basil, rosemary, tarragon, and sage. The cookie maker who constructs the grandest greenhouse will earn some serious green with the $10,000 prize and the title of Christmas Cookie Champion.
Five talented cookie makers reveal who's on Santa's list by creating one cookie that shows someone doing a good deed and another with someone being naughty! Hosts Ree Drummond and Eddie Jackson decide who ends up on Santa's good side and which naughty cookie-maker goes home. In round two, the cookiers create the nicest displays of all -- cookie angel figurines. They'll have to use good spirits in their festive figurines, like cinnamon schnapps, mezcal, honey liqueur and white chocolate liqueur. When the heavens clear, only one cookie maker will emerge with the $10,000 prize and the title of Christmas Cookie Champion.
There's no hiding when Eddie Jackson tasks five of America's best cookie makers with creating Christmas character masks made of cookies. Judges Vivian Chan, Ree Drummond and Dan Langan decide which masks are marvelous and which are just misses. Then there are more ho-ho-hijinks as a mischievous elf pops up in the pantry and all over the workshop! Inspired by his antics, Eddie asks the cookie makers to create delightful 3-D cookie displays capturing the elf's adventures. Mischief and mayhem abound as the cookie maker who best captures this tiny terror earns $10,000.
