We love that Ree Drummond (AKA the Pioneer Woman) keeps it real-from her easy kitchen tips to her line of affordable cookware at Walmart, she seems like she could be our BFF.
The Pioneer Woman recently sat down with TODAYfor an interview, and they asked her about the one food she couldn’t live without. And, honestly, her answer makes us love her even more (if that’s even possible).
“One thing I eat everyday would have to be cheese,” Drummond told TODAY. “Cheese of any kind. I will take it any way I can get it. I love melted Swiss. I love cubes of white Cheddar. I love goat cheese, feta cheese on a salad. The list goes on. I never met a cheese I didn’t like.”
Drummond has shared lots of cheesy recipes on her blog-from Cheeseburger Totchos (read: Tater Tot nachos) to Crispy Grilled Cheese-and while they sound delicious, they’re not exactly healthy. (Sorry, Ree!)
But, just like Drummond, we love anything with cheese, so we’re sharing five of our best cheese recipes-so you can get your daily dose of the good stuff.
Baked Mac and Cheese
Baked Mac & Cheese
We kept all of the comfort in this meal, but added some cottage cheese, whole-wheat pasta and spinach for a healthier take. Don’t worry, we kept the extra-sharp Cheddar and buttery breadcrumb topping.

Greek-Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
Greek Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
The saying “feta is betta” exists for a reason, and these Mediterranean-inspired ‘shrooms are proof. Serve these cheesy mushrooms alongside grilled fish, chicken or tofu for a super-satisfying main.

This lighter take on zucchini casserole opts for fresh mozzarella, fresh summer veg and basil for an Italian twist. To that we say, “mangia!”
