Just when you thought your holiday menu planning was under control, Ree Drummond rides in, not on a horse, but with a sleigh full of festive food advice. In the upcoming “Ask Me Anything: Holiday Favorites” episode of The Pioneer Woman, Drummond tackles viewer questions about holiday dishes, offering solutions to culinary conundrums just in time for Christmas.
This isn’t just another holiday special; it’s a deep dive into the Drummond family Christmas traditions, starting with a breakfast that might raise a few eyebrows outside of Oklahoma: Fried Quail with Biscuits and Gravy. Now, while most of us aren’t rustling up quail before opening presents, the segment provides a glimpse into the Drummond family dynamic, reminding us that holiday traditions, no matter how unusual, are the heart of the season.
But for those seeking more conventional holiday fare, Drummond also demonstrates how to make Short Rib Spaghetti Sauce. Because nothing says “festive” like a rich, slow-cooked ragu, right? And because no holiday feast is complete without a show-stopping main course, she’ll also be preparing a Herby Sticky Spiral Glazed Ham, offering tips for side dishes to complement this centerpiece.
Finally, for those with a sweet tooth (and let’s face it, who isn’t craving sugar during the holidays?), Drummond presents a quick and festive dessert, the Sticky Toffee Braid. It’s the kind of treat that seems designed to disappear within minutes of hitting the table.
The Pioneer Woman airs Saturdays at 10:00 AM on Food Network.
