“The Pioneer Woman” star Ree Drummond has shared hundreds of recipes with her fans over the years — while making those simple, satisfying meals for her family. Drummond’s brand has always been about feeding the people she loves. Even though she and Ladd are now empty nesters, each one of their kids still has a list of their favorite dishes.
Ree Drummond’s Oldest Daughter Alex Loves Pasta and Casseroles
For years, Ree’s Cajun Chicken Pasta has been one of her oldest daughter’s go-to dinners because it comes together quickly and easily. But for Alex Drummond, 27, her absolute favorite comfort food is her mom’s recipe for Fettuccine Alfredo.Â
When Alex’s daughter Sofia was born, Ree prepped French Onion Chicken Casserole ahead of time and it was a huge hit. This rich casserole is a savory dish that is loaded with caramelized onions and melted cheese.
Paige Drummond Was a Star On Her Mom’s Food Network Show
Ree’s second daughter Paige, 25, regularly appeared on “The Pioneer Woman” when she was growing up. Fans often saw her helping around the property when she wasn’t being homeschooled.
One of Paige’s favorite recipes is Perfect Potato Soup, with a slice of crusty bread. She’s also a big fan of Orange Chicken — when it comes from Panda Express.Â
“To three females who live on an isolated ranch, being less than five minutes away from drive-through Chinese food is enough to keep us going back to co-op week after week,” Ree once wrote.
Because Paige’s order was always the same, Ree put together a homemade version that is “extra citrusy and lightly sweet.”
The Pioneer Woman’s Son Bryce Is a Big Fan of Broccoli and Cheese
The Food Network star says that her son Bryce, 22, loves anything with broccoli and cheese. He loves his mom’s Broccoli Cheese Soup because it’s rich, smooth, and full of flavor. And, one of his favorite comfort foods is Broccoli with Cheese.
“My boy Bryce loves broccoli with cheese sauce so much that there’ve been times I’ve actually feared he would turn into broccoli with cheese sauce,” Drummond joked on her blog.
Bryce is also a big fan of the old-school classic Salisbury Steak, which goes perfectly with mashed potatoes. Another one of his favorites is the Sloppy Joe, which is easy to customize with a grilled bun or a little spice.
Ree Drummond’s Youngest Child Todd Grew Up On Screen
Ree’s youngest son, Todd, 21, was just seven years old when his mom’s show premiered on The Food Network. He literally grew up on television and has appeared with Ree on the cover of her magazine.
The University of South Dakota student is especially fond of Ree’s Smothered Pork Chops, which are simmered in a creamy skillet gravy with peppers and onions. But, his favorite is her Chicken Spaghetti. She’s even sent a few frozen pans to his dorm.Â
“It’s chicken, cheese, pasta, and a few sneaky vegetables,” Ree says.
For dessert, Todd’s favorite recipe is “The Pioneer Woman’s” Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie because it’s rich and creamy. But the dessert that’s been a staple of all four kids birthday parties is also quite popular in the Drummond family — Chocolate Sheet Cake. This classic is Ree’s go-to for celebrations, and is always “the first dessert to disappear.”
