Karina Jones is a real-life ranch wife in the Nebraska Sandhills and one of the most highly sought-after speakers in the cattle industry nationwide!
I knew you would come back! Yesterday’s episode was such a cliffhanger. Did I leave your mouth watering with so many Christmas cookie options? So many options to make and let’s be honest, have any of us met a cookie we didn’t like, especially during the holidays?!?!
I love spending time in the kitchen baking with my girls….or watching them bake while I snuggle this new baby! Candy, fudge or cut out sugar cookies? Peanut clusters, no bake cookies or buckeyes? Chocolate crinkles or thumbprint cookies? Monster cookies or the good ole fashioned chocolate chip seem to always be crowd favorites! I guess with my girls baking so much now, they tend to steer towards chocolate. So, I rarely have to bake cookies.
But this time of year it is time for me to revert back to one of our old favorites, the Snickerdoodle! And let’s be honest, there is nothing more cozy that a soft, buttery cookie hugged in warm cinnamon and sugar this time of year. The good ole Snickerdoodle is a favorite when my girls walk in the door from school during the cold winter months. And I have yet to see my husband pass up a Snickerdoodle with coffee, if they are available in the kitchen.
So snickerdoodles it is! Tune in tomorrow and I will share my recipe. It is nothing too original or earth shattering, it just a Snickerdoodle. As you have come to know, the recipe will posted on the Your Ag Network App & website as well as the Ranch Raised Facebook page.
Karina ranches with her husband, Marty, and 3 daughters near Broken Bow, NE. She grew up in western NE, with roots also in southwest SD. The cattle industry and raising kids is her passion.
Watching the cattle industry go the path that it has gone, she could no longer sit quietly at home checking cows, fixing fence, and doing all the everyday tasks wondering when some else was going to make it all better. As she became more active and outspoken on industry issues, she was asked to join the R-CALF USA staff in September 2020 as the Checkoff Petition Campaign manager. That position transcended into her current role as full time Field Director for R-CALF USA.
You can hear her almost every Friday on Your Ag Network’s Hot Barn Report that is broadcast on 60 radio stations with coverage in 9 states, where she deep dives into cattle industry issues and highlights R-CALF’s work on industry reforms. Listen to Ranch Raised on a Your Ag Network hometown station or www.youragnetwork.com where she talks about her daily life on the ranch.
Cattle producers are her people. She will meet you at the county fair, at the sale barn, or anywhere the dusty trail leads.
