Remember when I mentioned my outfit I wore for the TV shoot back in September?  Well, now you will get a chance to see it.  My close family girlfriend Ree Drummond, aka The Pioneer Woman will be featured on the Food Network’s show Throwdown with Bobby Flay.  The show will air Wednesday, November 17 at 9:00 pm EST on the Food Network.  Here is the premise  of the show:

What happens when you combine a pinch of city, a dash of country and a scrumptious Thanksgiving Feast? You get Pioneer Woman. Meet Ree Drummond, former city slicker turned cowgirl. Do not be fooled by her sweet face — Ree makes a mean, hard to beat Thanksgiving feast with all the fixings. We’re sure city slicker Chef Flay has his work cut out for him in this exciting Thanksgiving Throwdown!

Ree invited my mom, my daughter and myself to hang out in the kitchen with her during the taping.  There was a large crowd of people on the other side of the kitchen who were the main “extras” in the show.  We were part of the family crowd that included Ree’s mom, godmother and best girlfriends.  The taping was an “all day” event with lots of escapes outside to get some fresh air.  The lodge at the ranch was a perfect setting and I think the New York production staff for Bobby Flay really enjoyed the wide open space.  Both Bobby and Ree produced an amazing Thanksgiving spread.  I won’t tell you who won and spoil the surprise, but I will say that Ree’s was my personal favorite.  I grew up with this style of cooking, so what’s not to love!

I wasn’t allowed to take photos, but did manage to sneak in a few of the ranch from where we parked. Thought you would enjoy seeing the magnificent beauty of Oklahoma.

Hope you will tune in and watch Throwdown with Bobby Flay Thanksgiving Feast and leave a comment if you see me!  You can visit Ree at www.thepioneerwoman.com and read her post about the challenge here: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/11/hilarity/
