Have you guys heard of the food blog The Pioneer Woman Cooks? I find that site, penned by Ree, totally addictive. Whenever a new post from her pops up in my Google Reader, I stop what I'm doing in order to see what she's created. She has a really quirky sense of humor, amazing photographic skills and the ability to use as much butter as Paula Dean.
In her most recent post she made a pasta primavera, photographing each step along the way (she must have incredible natural light in her kitchen, because those pics look gorgeous), including the dicing of the onion, the smashing of garlic and the whisking of the sauce.
Her archives are amazing as well. I recommend checking out her Brisket, Cinnamon Rolls and Twice Baked Potatoes.

For Brisket, I sometimes like to use these heavy, disposable aluminum numbers. Makes it easy to pop in the freezer if you want, or to transport it to a picnic, funeral, or tailgating party.
I didn't know brisket was appropriate funeral food, thanks for the tip!

I also made the cinnamon roll dough recipe but changed the maple/coffee icing to cream cheese/vanilla which my crowd loved. The dough recipe was flawless.
Ree is a joy to read, I really like her. Pasta is not negotiable for me though.

I would also recommend this site to anyone who doesn't really understand cooking; she certainly spells it all out for you and the pictures are amazing!

Your links and suggestions are great. This Pioneer Woman is a great blog and I'll be happy to read it ... and you're right, sheesh, she must have the best natural sunlight around. Look at those gorgeous photographs!
