This Is Where All That Leftover Food Goes When The Pioneer Woman Finishes Filming
Filming a cooking show is no easy task. As someone who's done it before, I can attest that it's full of long days, tired feet, and way too much leftover food. Celebrity chef Ree Drummond knows this scenario all too well, having filmed her Food Network show "The Pioneer Woman" in her ranch lodge (which you can tour!) since 2011. And when the cameras stop rolling, someone has to eat all that food -- it turns out it's usually her family. Drummond and her husband, Ladd Drummond, have five children. The pair welcomed four kids in the years after their marriage, and their fifth child, Jamar, joined the family in 2018. This means Drummond has plenty of mouths to feed, so her food has plenty of places to go. Drummond revealed on her blog in 2020 that her kids and husband eat the leftover food. And if it's too much even for her family to enjoy, she turns to others: her hard-working crew. " If my family doesn't finish it off, the crew definitely will," Drummond said.

Depending on the length and complexity of each recipe and theme, multiple episodes can be shot in one lengthy filming day. With that said, there could be times when Drummond has anywhere from 12 to 16 leftover recipes -- and maybe some she regrets making -- to dole out to those around her. But as of 2025, all of Drummond's kids are out of the house, with Alex and Paige both married, and Bryce, Todd, and Jamar all in college. That's likely where Drummond's crew steps in. While the kids are still home often to visit, they aren't around every time Drummond films an episode, which fans know just from watching. With that said, Drummond has mentioned she has a film crew of between 15 and 20 people, so it seems she will never have to worry about having more leftovers than she knows what to do with.

Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond, 56, reveals very simple secret to staying married almost 30 years
Food Network star Ree Drummond has opened up about the secret to her nearly 30-year marriage to Ladd Drummond. The TV personality and her husband, both 56, will celebrate their 29th wedding anniversary in September. In her latest Pioneer Woman blog post, the mother-of-four — whose son's license was just revoked — revealed that the couple's favorite date night activity is a long drive in her pickup truck. 'At the risk of sounding like an old married couple, we love to take drives together,' the redhead beauty shared. She explained, 'There's something about the peace of the pickup. That diesel engine is like background music, and we are focused only on each other. No laptops, devices, TV' such a great time to catch up.' In her latest Pioneer Woman blog post, the mother-of-four revealed that the couple's favorite date night activity is a long drive in her pickup truck About their destination, Ree said, 'Honestly, it's different every time.' She added about their Oklahoma drives, 'Sometimes we stay on the county roads and check on fences or cattle; other times we'll drive east to Pawhuska or west to Ponca City, stopping to get a convenience store Dr Pepper when we get there. 'Other times Ladd will drive into this pasture or that, to show me an area of a creek that I may not have seen before, or — again — to check on a cow or a fence.' The husband and wife are parents to four kids — Alex, 28, Paige, 25, Bryson, 22, and Todd, 21. The star also revealed in her 2020 book, Frontier Follies: Adventures in Marriage and Motherhood in the Middle of Nowhere, that she fostered a son named Jamar in 2018. And they welcomed their first grandchild, Alex's daughter Sofia, in December 2024. Ree said in the blog post written by Kelsey Hurwitz, 'Now that we're empty nesters, it's not like we don't have lots of time alone at home already. 'But there's something about the safety and sanctity of the pickup that sparks the very best conversations.' The TV personality and her husband, both 56, will celebrate their 29th wedding anniversary in September; pictured at their 1996 wedding in a 2020 Instagram post In December, the author gushed about becoming a grandmother in a heartfelt blog post. She announced at the time, 'My sweet little pookie head granddaughter Sofia was born ten days ago, so I thought it would be the perfect time to show you some of my favorite snapshots of the first week-and-a-half of her life.' The proud grandparent even said she considered buying a house in Texas to be close to her daughter and the baby. 'I got to stay in Dallas just long enough to fall hopelessly in love with her, and I would be lying if I said I haven't checked Zillow for houses not only on Alex and Mauricio's street, but also on their block and actually right across the street from their house. 'It's sort of like when I return from a vacation in Vail, Colorado and I start searching for houses to buy in Vail because I just don't want that vacation feeling to end. Well, in this case, it's even more profound: I don't want my time with Sofia ever to end, and though neither "second home" scenario is very likely at all, a girl (and a grandmother) can sure dream,' she penned.

In a new blog post, the Food Network star detailed that some of her favorite date nights with her husband, Ladd Drummond, include hopping in their truck and going for a ride, which they started decades ago when their five children were little and life was busier. "At the risk of sounding like an old married couple, we love to take drives together," she wrote. "There's something about the peace of the pickup. That diesel engine is like background music, and we are focused only on each other. No laptops, devices, TVs — it's such a great time to catch up," she wrote. Ree noted that on their drives, she and her husband talk about whatever is on their minds – which often includes their family and their Oklahoma ranch. "There's something about the peace of the pickup. That diesel engine is like background music, and we are focused only on each other. No laptops, devices, TVs — it's such a great time to catch up." As for their destination, it's "different every time." "Sometimes we stay on the county roads and check on fences or cattle; other times we'll drive east to Pawhuska or west to Ponca City, stopping to get a convenience store Dr. Pepper when we get there."

Ree and Ladd, who have been married for nearly 30 years, are now empty nesters. The couple tied the knot in 1996 and have five adult kids: Alex, Paige, Bryce, Jamar and Todd. "Now that we're empty nesters, it's not like we don't have lots of time alone at home already. But there's something about the safety and sanctity of the pickup that sparks the very best conversations," she explained.
