‘The Pioneer Woman’ Star Ree Drummond Shares Emotional 9/11 Tribute on Instagram
Ree Drummond is the star of The Pioneer Woman, a cooking show on Food Network where she prepares meals for her friends and family. One of the fun aspects of this program is that it combines aspects of her life and teaching new techniques for cooking. Drummond’s weekly recipes inspire viewers to make the meal in their home and replicate the taste. As one of the most beloved television stars, it was nice to read an emotional tribute she shared on Instagram remembering 9/11.
How did Ree Drummond pay tribute to the 20th Anniversary of 9/11?
The Pioneer Woman is a callback to the America of yore and how the tradition of uniting families around the dinner table continues to be magical. Drummond always has good vibes and sends her best wishes to all of her followers. On September 11, the Food Network star took some time to pause and share her thoughts on the 20th anniversary of that horrible day.
“None of us will ever, ever forget the details of that day…where we were, who we were with, and the despair we felt as the realities of the terror attacks unfolded before our eyes,” she posted. “I remember it like it was yesterday. I also remember the way America came together in a common anger and grief.”
Drummond continued, “I pray for comfort for everyone who lost a child, a sibling, a parent, a partner, a friend, or any loved one on September 11, 2001. I can’t imagine carrying that pain all these years, and I’m holding them in my heart today.”

‘The Pioneer Woman’ star reunites with longtime friend
The September 11 anniversary also serves as a reminder to cherish the time you are able to spend with friends and family. Although Drummond runs a whole empire, she still takes the opportunity to share time with those she loves. She recently posted a moving post about her longtime friend known as Joy the Baker.
“Joy the Baker and I go way back (in food blogging years!) and the rare times we get to see each other are always concentrated and so special to me,” Drummond wrote. “We laugh and laugh, and I don’t know…she’s just a treasure to be around and I’m so glad we met so many years ago.”
