I'm working on a second cookbook and am working on my love story, 'Black Heels to Tractor Wheels.

My days are spent wrangling children, chipping dried manure from boots, washing jeans, and frying calf nuts.

I'm a thirty-something ranch wife, mother of four, moderately agoraphobic middle child who grew up on a golf course in the city.

I want people to see how hard my husband and kids work on the ranch.

The truth of the matter is that I live on an isolated cattle ranch in the middle of Oklahoma and that's not going to change.

I'm a writer and a photographer - I'm totally aware that doesn't always translate to TV.

Knowing what I'll write about and what I won't has never really been a problem. I won't write about things that bore me.

I hate to play the I-live-in-the-country card, but it really takes all of the 'pack the kids into the car and run from here to there' out of the equation.

As The Pioneer Woman has grown and the revenue has grown, the prizes keep getting better, and that certainly feels good.

It never occurred to me that I was going to have to talk to a camera. I don't know if I can do this.

I had been teaching myself photography.

We are at a pivotal moment in our shared history. The global goals of a healthy planet, social equality, and economic opportunity for all are within reach. But we cannot prevaricate.

Perhaps I am no one. True, I have a body and I cannot escape from it. I would like to fly out of my head, but that is out of the question.

In the '80s, everyone wanted to be in opera. It was groovy.

Grace is not just about forgiveness but about life.

In general, markets know more than the people who write about them.

In this present culture, we need to find the means to work and live together with less aggression if we are to resolve the serious problems that afflict and impede us.

Everyone has an opportunity to be great because everyone has an opportunity to serve.
