Ree plans the night before for a cowboys and cowgirls lunch at the lodge after a big morning working calves on the ranch. The next day, everyone's up at first light and when they head out to the range, Ree slams pop pulled pork in the oven to slow cook and fits in some photography for her blog. With time to spare Ree heads back to the lodge to finish making a well earned lunch for the entire crew of hungry cowboys, kids and family.

School's in at the lodge where it's homeschool Co-Op day. The night before Ree gets ahead with strawberry oatmeal bars, then before the bell rings she's serving up make ahead muffin melts for the kids. Then up at the lodge they're joined by the other moms and kids where strawberry jam is the first period in a cool lesson mixing science and cooking, followed by a nature trail around the ranch while Ree makes lunch for the hungry kids- broccoli cheese soup on hollowed out bread bowls.

It's chocolate day at the lodge and Ree has challenged herself to shake up three great knock-it-out-of-the-park easy but impressive chocolate recipes for the blog. The kids can't wait to turn into taste testers – it's a cook's kid's best perk. Their dinner is an incredible corn and cheese chowder, and their mom's got a real surprise: dessert, then soup as a treat. Let the choc fest begin.

It's potluck Sunday at the church and comfort food to the max. Ree is making three great dishes that are guaranteed to be wiped out first. Then it's all hands on deck at the church the next morning where the entire family turns out to help Ree get the food on the table, and eat it.

It's Ladd's birthday and while it's business as usual on the ranch Ree's conjuring up a fabulous birthday dinner for Ladd, the kids and Cowboy Josh with all Ladd's favorite foods.

Ree's doubling up on dinner and making one meal for her crew and one for cowboy Josh.

Then for dessert, Pecan Pie, good for the holidays, good anytime of the year. This is two portable feasts to go.

A rancher's work is never done, especially when there's fence to fix, and today the crew needs some serious sustenance.

Ree holds a slumber party for Paige and her four very best friends. They kick off their day of fun with Cinnamon Baked French Toast before they go horse riding on the ranch. Ree delivers them a picnic by the creek with Prairie Sushi and Kid Friendly Pasta Salad. Then there's some soccer to play and a seriously fun treat up at the lodge, decorating Hand Cookies, the perfect end to their day of prairie adventures.

With the boys away, it's quality time for the cowgirls! There's a beautiful veggie-packed Pasta Primavera for lunch, before it's time to get back to the real world; the guys are coming home, so dinner is a Drummond crowd-pleaser that's loved by cowboys and cowgirls alike, Perfect Bacon Cheeseburgers and Perfect French Fries.

It's time to saddle up for a big day of horse riding on the ranch. Ree's handing out Granola Bars to the kids as they set off on horse back for a riding lesson with Josh and his uncle Lee.

For dinner, Spicy Lemon Garlic Shrimp with hot crusty bread followed by a fabulous Raspberry Tiramisu.

Christmas is coming on the ranch and everyone's in the festive spirit.

Today Ree is celebrating all the things she loves on the ranch.

The cowboys and kids have a long day hauling cattle so a hearty tailgate lunch is the way to go.

It's all about frontier style food to go and Ree has got two special deliveries to make. First she's taking ravenous kids and cowboys a well deserved breakfast in the pens — delicious Sweet Orange Rolls and Peppered Bacon. Then she's making a big hearty dinner of Root Vegetable Beef Stew and Creamy Cheddar Grits, and sharing it with her best friend Hyacinth as a delicious thank you gift.

It's all systems go when Ladd calls the ranch to say their friends Butch and Julie are coming over for dinner right now. Ree's got to fix a super fast meal from what she's got on hand.
