The Pioneer Woman Cooks Giveaway! (WINNER ANNOUNCED)

  |  

Congratulations to Mandy, BreAnn, Grace, Amber, and Tammy, the winners of this competition! 

If I had just checked the mailbox earlier on Lent Eve I would have seen Ree’s new book, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier, sooner. It arrived the night we’re supposed to empty our flour and sugar bins and use up all the excess butter to make (and overdose) on pancakes.

It was well past dinner when I gathered the mail and spied Ree’s book. Thankfully the dishes were done because once I started paging through the book that was it for the night.

The first picture that caught my eye was an incredibly well behaved bejeweled cat:

How did she get her so poised? Our Chloe would never stand for being decked out like that.

But it was her four-page Homemade Glazed Donut tutorial that made me stop. Why hadn’t I checked the mail sooner? Instead of pancakes I could have made doughnuts for dinner! It had all the same ingredients as pancakes– sugar, milk, eggs, butter, flour. Plus they’re fried, making them even more decadent for the day!

There’s another reason I should have fried up a batch of doughnuts last Tuesday night. As I later confessed on twitter, I have three weakness: potato chips, doughnuts, and a good stiff gin and tonic, and I believe we’re meant to enjoy our vices that night.

Gail of One Tough Cookie tweeted back asking if I planned to give up all three for Lent. At the time I didn’t commit, but I’m ready. Yes, I’ll give up potato chips. A reluctant yes to gin and tonics. But since I missed my shot at making doughnuts last Tuesday, I’ve allowed myself–at least today–a couple of Ree’s.

And having experienced Ree’s Homemade Glazed Doughnuts first hand, I think they’re pretty much the ultimate–pure featherlight delights, like warm Krispy Kremes rolling off the conveyer freshly showered with glaze.

Besides the perfect doughnut recipe, Ree’s new book, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier, consolidates all of your favorites from the site along with some brand new ones. (Photos too!)

There’s another reason to celebrate. Ree has generously offered Three Many Cooks five copies of her new book for a giveaway. And here’s the added incentive. Since the book isn’t officially available until March 12, five lucky winners will receive their copies a wee bit early.

To win one of the five copies of Ree’s new book,  The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier, simply tells us your food weakness(es). Giveaway ends Sunday March 4th at 9 PM ET and winners will be announced the next morning.

Enough! I’ve bared my soul now let’s hear from you.

    Freshly baked bread with butter and cinnamon or sticky buns.I make them at home to share with my daughter’s families on the week-end (but I secretly covet a pan just for hubby and me.)

    I have a real sweet tooth and crave sugary treats.. but then there is nothing like fresh baked bread slathered with butter… ok and some cheese… I love all kinds of food… especially the things that are bad for you…

  10. Maureen says

    Sweets – cookies, ice cream, etc. I just try to not have them in the house because I can’t behave myself.

  11. Wendy says

    I have been asked the question,” if someone woke me up in the middle of the night offering me anything I wanted to eat, what would be the first thing to pop in my bedhead?” For me….red pull and peel licorie! Anytime, any place, anywhere!!

    My mom’s chicken and dumplings. I have yet to try to make them because I know they won’t be as good as hers!

    I have too many food weaknesses! If I had to chose just 1 I would have to say CHOCOLATE! I love Easter when they have the chocolate covered marshmallows in the egg cartoons!! Good thing they only have them once a year (if they have similar things other holidays or year round please do not inform me…lol…let me believe they are just once a year 😉

    I’m 7 months pregnant with my first child and my only weakness this entire pregnancy has been donuts. I cannot get enough of ’em! Thankfully, my husband has helped me limit how many I eat so baby and I are healthy (but Daddy’s stomach is starting to expand from his “rationing” method of eating the donuts before Mommy can). 🙂

  39. Kathy Flowers says
