Last week I hosted the 2nd Annual Pioneer Woman Potluck Party for some of my local
blogging friends who love the Pioneer Woman as much as I do.
You know me, I looooove P-Dub.
Met her at her book signing a few years ago. Have her 2 cookbooks, her book & all her Charlie the Ranch Dog Children's books. And, we watch her show every Saturday morning!
The Pioneer Woman is my favorite. I want to go to her ranch soooooo badly!

I hosted a PW Potluck Party last summer & it was so much fun we decided to make it an annual party.
Each person brings PW dish (from either her cookbooks or her blog) & I had them email me what they were bringing so there were no duplicates.
If you have been to my house (or seen one of my parties), you know I LOVE fresh cut flowers :)
The Table:
Here was this year's Menu for the Pioneer Woman Potluck Party 2.0
Last year, I was 39 weeks preggo with Luke when I hosted the party. Here we are this year, with me drinking a glass of PW's Sangria. YUMMMO.
Drinks Served were:
Sparkling Water, Sparkling Lemonade, Berry & Lime Infused Water (pictured), Chardonnay & PW's Sangria.
I served all the drinks out of my blue mason jars.
I made name tags by stamping names on mailing tags.
Now, onto the food!
Appetizers:Corn Dog Muffins
I made her Watermelon Pico De Gallo
It was SOOO good & refreshing! And, pretty!
Bruschetta:
I could eat bruschetta everyday.
We had Soup & Salad next.
Perfect Potato Soup
Grilled chicken, feta, corn & blueberry salad
Totally random combo, but I loved it!
Pizza:
Fig Prosciutto Pizza with Arugula
Pasta:
Roasted Red Pepper Pasta
The lovely ladies during dinner:
Dessert Time!
White Texas Sheet Cake and Baked French Toast
Monster Cookies
All of the food was delicous! Just like last year, I hadn't tried any of the recipes on the menu, so it was so fun to try out new things.
My favorites were:
Sangria, Bruschetta, Watermelon Pico de Gallo & The Chicken, Corn, Feta & Blueberry Salad & the Pizza.
After Dinner....Full & Happy!

We missed you Jessica & Keri!
It was a fun night filled with great food, great conversation & even greater people.
Some ladies I have been friends with for years, others I have met because of the blogging world.
It is so fun when we all get together. Ladies who love the Lord & Love to blog. And, love the PW.
If you are a PW fan, I highly recommend having a PW Potluck Party!
