She does help on the farm. Nothing wrong with treating the men in your life. 🙄
Yeah it just seems like everything is “the boys will love this extra cheese...” etc. Every show! Like the only reason for a woman to cook is to please the men. Plus I just don’t like cheerful people.
She found a niche and targets her audience, that's all. Don't let the just plain folks thing fool you, either. They are well off and have been since way before her blog and subsequent TV show took off. They have plenty of help around the ranch!
That’s what I was going to say....they have laborers, she is too busy making $$$$ by putting together a tasty sammich on camera. Plus she likely feels a need to take responsibility for feeding her children.
Although I would absolutely LOVE to watch a show called Bitter Pissed Off Wife Trapped On A Ranch Cooks. Like, she could start screaming in the kitchen and then storm out to spend the day heaving hay bales and cutting the nuts off young steers.24 -

Yes, the family is one of the largest land owners in Oklahoma. I think the Drummonds have a net worth somewhere around $250 million.9 -

Is it that much? I knew his family had a lot of land and was very well off. She's not from nothing, either. I looked her up a long time ago out of curiosity (being a fellow okie girl; this was before the TV deal back when she just had a blog).2 -

And they work on a ranch and play sports...pretty sure they're living a healthy lifestyle.
Also, "calorie laden" is subjective. I used to work landscape construction and play sports...I ate everything I could and still had a hard time keeping weight on.
Thank you! I was reading through this thread to see if anyone had mentioned that they live on a working ranch. Her kids are part of that, they're probably far more active than the typical kid.6 -

Except on this one they all come in and eat moon pies and swill RC cola while the kids strip down to their underwear and run through the sprinkler in lieu of a bath 7 -

That was my quick Google search just now, I'm not sure if it is completely accurate. But I think it's safe to say that the initial "well off" description was accurate and she's very successful in her own right too.
To be fair, a lot of that family "net worth" may be based on the land they own. I know that it's not uncommon for ranchers to be very wealthy on paper but not have the liquid assets to reflect that. Still, I don't think she's spending any time in the kitchen that isn't by her own choice.9 -

It doesn't surprise me that they'd be worth that much. Plenty of people were critical of how she portrayed her life in the blog even way back then. She's no simple prairie girl. Brilliant marketer though!6 -

It's part of why when I watch it, I tell myself it's a sociological observation! Because it's like, no, sweetie, you *aren't* a typical farm family, but you keep marketing yourself that way.6 -

I believe she actually is a big city girl but moved to the ranch when she met her husband. I just watched my first episode while working out just now, "Shipping Cattle." She is making a pancake bar, and uses a vanilla bean in a sauce, and is all "well, how in tarnation did this get here, I just happened to have one in my drawer!" (I added a few words for color).
Also, when she is referring to "the guys" out working, her daughters are also getting their butts out of bed before sunrise to do the ranch work, but I noticed the dad got up earliest of all to get the kids horses groomed and saddled for them. He is fortunate enough to have someone who loves him enough to ensure he has a hot breakfast waiting after hours of work, and she is fortunate to have someone that hardworking and thoughtful. Sounds like a great foundation for a strong family and a strong business.15 -

Except on a ranch! I'm now trying to figure out the mechanics of hay baler + alcohol + manicure, but just can't make it work in my head.
It could be some great product placement for Hot Pockets, when her family comes in from their morning of hard work and she screams at them about oppression.8 -

I looked it up...I was thinking she grew up in a big city, but she grow up in a country club milieu of a town of 35,000 in OK, then went to LA for college and was planning on going to Chicago for law school when she met her husband. She also originally majored in broadcast journalism, which explains a lot! Here is a good New Yorker article on her: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/05/09/o-pioneer-woman6 -

If they own that much land in OK, then they probably have mineral rights on that land as well--that's where a lot of the money lies. A family friend owns a potato farm in Michigan, and while they do just fine with their potato contracts, the mineral contracts bring in 6 figures A MONTH!
And--her father is an orthopedic surgeon and she attended the University of Southern California back in the late 80's--her family was doing well economically...3 -
Not sure if this little detail has been mentioned, but this Pioneer Woman and her family own a (working) farm, and they run their cattle the 'old-fashioned' way in parts.... There is a difference between life on the couch and life on horseback. This extends to the average calorie requirement, too. If you ever had to drag haybales through all kinds of weather, you'd know, a few extra calories won't make the bathroom scale explode... 4
