It’s safe to say Ree Drummond (a.k.a. the Pioneer Woman) wears a lot of hats. She’s a wife, mom, Food Network star, chef, writer, photographer… need we say more? This spring, she’s dusting off her designer hat yet again — and we’re kind of freaking out over it.
Psst! This was the first dish Ree Drummond made for her husband.
Ree Drummond’s Newest Cookware
That’s right, Drummond joined forces with Walmart again to create the Pioneer Woman line, a collection of cute, springtime-ready cookware exclusive to Walmart stores and Walmart.com. Sound familiar? Followers of the Pioneer Woman might remember she teased the collection on her website back in February.
“While I’m supposed to be a good little (figuratively speaking) girl and keep it all under wraps, I think I’ve firmly established through the years that I am not good at keeping things under wraps,” she wrote on her site. “I’m terrible at it, actually.”
Best of all, TODAY reported the entire collection is under $100. Highlights include an adorable set of mason jar lids for under $4, four tumblers for less than $20 and a 25-piece pantry kit on sale for $69.
So what are you waiting for? Grab a slice of this collection before it’s too late! The only question that remains is what should you cook in your brand-new Pioneer Woman wares? We’re partial to her holiday favorites, which are delicious any time of the year.
Try these gorgeous spring desserts!

The inspiration for this cake came from one of my favorite flowers, the sunflower.

A pleasingly moist cake, this treat is the one I requested that my mom make each year for my birthday. It's dotted with sweet carrots and a hint of cinnamon.
