‘The Pioneer Woman’: Ree Drummond Shares Her ‘Strange, Unhealthy Tendency’ When Traveling for Work
The Pioneer Woman star, Ree Drummond, is one of the most beloved personalities on Food Network. Her following continues to grow as her empire expands. Drummond recently launched a clothing line as an extension of her brand and just released a new cookbook with “Super Easy” recipes. While promoting the latter, the famous redhead has revealed a “strange” and “unhealthy tendency” she has while traveling for work.
Ree Drummond traveling for work
Drummond had a busy week traveling to promote her new cookbook. The Pioneer Woman star appeared on numerous talk shows like The View to showcase her cooking skills and talk about her new book. After a long week, Drummond took to Instagram to share a tendency she is calling “strange” and “unhealthy.”
“My strange, unhealthy (or maybe it’s been healthy in the long run?) tendency when I travel for work is to go out and accomplish my work, then hole up in my hotel room and get caught up on emails, rest, relax, and restore,” she shared on the social network. “I learned many a book tour ago that if I spent my free time exploring the city and seeing friends, I’d use up all my internal resources and wind up crashing and burning somewhere down the line.”
Despite thinking she would crash and burn, Drummond said that she took the opportunity to give herself time to see her friend David.
“David lives in NYC, traveled to Oklahoma for many years to work on my cooking show, and he’s so dear. He’d retired from the show a year or so before the pandemic, so we hadn’t seen each other for over three years,” Drummond explained. “He was a sight for sore eyes, a salve to my soul, and a reminder that I can always rest and restore some other time. Connection is so important.”

Drummond reminded all of her fans that connecting with people you cherish in life is important. Working hard for what you love is respected, as long as one takes some time to smell the roses. Following Drummond’s powerful message, her fans replied with words of support acknowledging the importance of it all.
“To ‘Connection is so important.’ Something the pandemic has taught/ reminded us all I hope,” a fan replied.
“Things do feel different now! Glad you got to see your friend!” a follower commented.
“Beautiful post. So glad you got to see your friend David. Friends are rest places for the soul,” an Instagram user noted.
“Oh yes, connection is restorative and energizing in itself!” another fan added.
“Reconnecting is so important and restful,” another follower mentioned.
“Sometimes we must push ourselves. Especially for those special people,” another Instagram user said.
Ree Drummond ‘births’ cookbook
A day prior, Drummond shared with her fans how excited she was about releasing her book titled “The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Super Easy.” Drummond explained that all the recipes were inspired during the quarantine.
“My house was full of humans and I had to find ways to save my cooking sanity (and keep myself from losing my love for cooking, if I’m being honest.)” she said.
The Pioneer Woman airs on weekends on Food Network.
