I met Elizabeth Poett in Waco, TX after we both started filming our shows for The Magnolia Network. Elizabeth is the rare combination of movie star glamour and a down-to-earth rancher. Those things seem an impossible mix and yet, Elizabeth pulls it off with rugged elegance. She has a passion for her traditions, her land, and her family, which makes her so relatable.

[GIVEAWAY! Scroll to the bottom to find out how you can win a copy of Elizabeth Poett’s new cookbook!]

Her new cookbook tells the story of her picture book ranch, filled with cattle, honey bees, lavender fields, and views one could never get tired of. Most importantly it is where her family has lived for seven generations.

I am decidedly a city dweller but I am so captivated and curious about her bucolic world. If you’ve seen her show, Ranch to Table, you’ve probably felt the same pull to ranch life. You can get her recipes and stories in her new book, The Ranch Table, which includes this family-favorite peanut butter meringue pie. Be sure to check out Elizabeth’s show! Season 4 just launched on Magnolia Network.

  1. Hi Zoe, my all-time favorite pie is sour cream raisin. It’s an old family, favorite and I always have to make it for my mom and my husband on their birthdays. And because of your influence, I have become a torch fan as well browning the beautiful Swiss meringue that sits piled on top of this rich clove, infused sour cream pie. Thanks, Julie.

    My favourite pie is an upside down pecan apple pie where the top of the pie (when inverted) is the pie crust topped with pecans and brown sugar. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of homemade whipped cream. Favourite peanut butter recipe is a chewy peanut butter chocolate chip cookie made with a mix of milk and semi sweet chocolate chips.

  3. Fresh strawberry pie is my favorite!

      My family is a chocolate peanut butteraholic! I love her family’s rich history on the farm. Ranch to table is like a beautiful trip into the Wild West.

  4. Fav pie- banana butterscotch.
    Fav pb- oatmeal pb cookies

  5. Krystal Gonzalez

    My favorite pie is apple pie, love how the warm spices smell up the home. I just love the basic and classic peanut butter cookies and to spike it up a bit.. I love to add chocolate chunks!

  6. My favorite is banana cream pie!

  7. Jill Hunt-Thompson

    Hmm. Chocolate pie, fruit pie, vegetable savory pie..clearly, I like pie!

    Favorite pie is Magnolia Table Lemon Pie! Easy to make and oh so yummy

    • So many pies to choose from as well as peanutbutter deserts. My favorite pie is probably pumpkin and my favorite peanutbutter desert is just a spoonful of peanutbutter, my siblings and I called it a “peanutbutter lollipop”.
      Before packing of items became so difficult to open, we would help our parents carry in the Saturday weekly groceries and rummage through the bags to find the peanutbutter, if you found it first, you would open it and take a finger full, especially the swirl of peanutbutter. Inevitably, one of the siblings would swoop in the steal the swirl from you as you where hold jar in one hand and lid in the other. Sounds silly, but it was fun.

    • My favorite pie is peach, I actually use a recipe from Zoe, best peach pie I ever had. Peanut butter dessert is hard, love them all, but Salted Peanut Butter cookies from Smitten Kitchen are divine!

  9. I ❤️ anything with peanut butter but my fav would be a peanut butter pie with chocolate ganache.. YUM!

  10. Lemon meringue all the way!

  11. I love peanut butter blossoms and the peanut putter brittle I make

  12. Kimberly griffin

    Freshly harvested ,from the garden ,rhubarb pie with a very flakey crust. Perfect.

    • Suzette Carlin

      I can’t say I have a clear favorite in the pie category because I have a favorite for different times of the year. If I had to pick one it would be a coconut custard pie.

  13. Favorite pie: toss up between blueberry and chocolate cream. Favorite peanut butter dessert: peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. What can I say – I’m basic 🙂

  14. So hard to choose a favorite pie, but black raspberry would probably take first over Coconut Cream and Sour Cherry. Favorite peanut butter dessert would be a peanut butter mousse with chocolate.

  15. Mary Germain

    My favorite fall pie is a spiced pear pie. I just made one yesterday.

    • Debra Paterson

      Lemon Meringue pie! My grandmother made it for us for every special occasion. I’ve never been able to accurately re-create the recipe. Mustards Grill in Napa Valley, California has a fabulous lemon meringue pie. I seek it out every time I go to Northern California.

      • Michelle Shumate

        My favorite Peanut Butter dessert is a deep, dark chocolate cake with homemade peanut butter icing — a perfect combination. Even better, my hubby doesn’t like PB, so I have it ALL TO MYSELF!

  16. Beth Engelhardt

    I do like a really good peanut butter pie, or pecan or lemon meringue. Geez it’s hard to pick as I like pie and more importantly desserts. I have thought I would like to open a dessert restaurant with a 4 course dessert menu. Eat dessert first and then you won’t fill up on the meal.

  17. My favorite pie is Lemon Meringue Pie. It brings back many memories of my grandfather who taught me a lot about baking! (I love peanut butter too!)

  18. I love a delicious banana cream pie!

  19. Danielle E. Keel

    My favorite pie is a fresh strawberry pie and unfortunately I’m allergic to peanuts in large doses so a rare handful of Reese’s Pieces or a no-bake cookie is the totality of my peanut consumption.

  20. Favorite pie…salted caramel honeycrisp crunch apple pie. Favorite PB recipe – chocolate PB macaron. Tons of others too, but always this apple pie

  21. My favorite pie is french silk. It’s so rich and creamy and the chocolate shavings on top make it even better!

    • My favorite pie is butter pecan pie Southern butter pecan pie at that, living in Wisconsin now coming from North Carolina, I always make this pie almost every weekend it stairs up so many memories from my childhood my grandmother taught me how to make pecan pie when I was 11 years old and since then I have loved to bake.

    My favorite pie is pecan cream , and I love peanut butter cookies❤️

    • Hii, my favorite pie is the classic apple pie with some vanilla ice cream on top

      • Tina Bryenton

        My favorite pie is s custard based banana cream pie. Favorite peanut butter recipe is peanut butter cookies. I can still remember my mom making them and the wonderful smells!

    • Ohhh! I’ve never heard of a pecan cream pie and it sounds delicious!

    • Oh wow, I love both of your shows and all your amazing recipes!
      And I have to also tell you, Zoe, how much I love your hair! Absolutely gorgeous 🙂 I think that every show, so I figured I’d just mention it here 🙂

      I’m pretty simple… a super gooey & chewy brownie… or good chocolate chip cookies, with the crispy/chewy edges amd a soft center…… oh boy I definitely need to make those again soon… well, once its cooled down more 😉

  23. Gail Fickle

    My favorite peanut butter dessert is a jar of peanut butter. I can and do eat it every way, even on grilled hamburgers.

  24. It’s so hard to choose my favorite pie, but I’m going to say key lime—although cherry comes in a close second!

  25. Lena Gilley

    My favorite pie is a tart cherry pie and homemade pumpkin pie with vanilla bean ice cream.
