THE PIONEER WOMAN's Ree Drummond Sits Down with CBS SUNDAY MORNING

Ree Drummond, known to millions as TV's "The Pioneer Woman," is just a mom feeding her family, she tells Alina Cho in an interview for CBS SUNDAY MORNING to be broadcastSunday, March 10 (9:00 AM, ET) on the CBS Television Network.

"I'm not a famous actress. I'm not a famous type," Drummond tells Cho. "I'm really a mom who cooks for her family."

Don't tell that to her LEGION of fans that follows everything Drummond produces, from a popular cooking TV series on the Food Network to five best-selling books, a hotel, restaurants and more built around "The Pioneer Woman" franchise.

As fans know, she's a fan of butter, basset hounds and Ethel Merman. Drummond attributes her success to being just a regular person making comfort food and talking with an audience, not down to them.

"I'm not a trained chef. And so I have a level of accessibility," Drummond says. "I'm not going to show them anything that is BEYOND their skill. And I also use a lot of ingredients that are pretty easy to get."

Cho visits Drummond at her family's cattle farm in Pawhuska, Okla., near Tulsa, where she talks about her career, her food, and her husband, Ladd Drummond, and the growing reach of her company, which includes a magazine and home goods at Walmart. The couple also talks about what they've done to transform their hometown into a tourist destination.

Despite their astonishing success, Drummond says she'll never use the word "empire" to describe what she and her husband have achieved.

"I just think of the word EMPIRE as being in a position where you just sit and reflect on everything you've done," Drummond says. "And I just don't have time to do that."

CBS SUNDAY MORNING is broadcast Sundays (9:00-10:30 AM, ET) on the CBS Television Network. Rand Morrison is the executive producer.
