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.

Ree hasn't been to the store in weeks and she's still got another day to go before she can hit town. Over the next 24 hours she dips into her trusty staples to whip up some fabulous food from what she can find in her pantry and freezer. There's mom daughter dinner, breakfast for the kids and lunch for the whole family.
