Ree Drummond, the culinary queen of the plains, is back for another season of The Pioneer Woman, and this time, she’s tackling a subject near and dear to the hearts (and stomachs) of many: protein. In the season 39 premiere, “Eat Your Protein,” Drummond isn’t just rustling up chuck wagons and cowboy coffee; she’s offering a quartet of dishes designed to satisfy even the most ravenous appetites.
First up is a Fish Taco Salad, featuring spiced cod, a chile-lime yogurt dressing, and a vibrant mango pico de gallo. This isn’t your average Tuesday night fish fry; it’s a symphony of flavors and textures, blending the richness of the cod with the refreshing tang of the dressing and the sweet pop of the mango. For those seeking comfort food with a kick, Drummond’s Beef and Bean Stuffed Peppers promise a hearty, satisfying meal that’s perfect for a chilly evening.
But “Eat Your Protein” isn’t just about dinner. Drummond also whips up Egg White Bites for a quick and healthy breakfast option, and a Nut Granola Parfait for a snack that’s both delicious and filling. This isn’t just about fueling up; it’s about enjoying food that’s good for you and tastes great.
The Pioneer Woman airs Saturday, January 4 at 10:00 AM on Food Network.
