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.

    Sweets… ugh Sweets. Chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, Ree’s Cinnamon rolls. It’s a good thing it’s Lent!

  5. Belinda Cross says

    Food weakness – Snyders (bursting with flavor) mustard & onion pretzel bits or anything chocolate.

  10. Tiffany says

    Cheese! After living in Europe my husband and I absolutely love cheese… especially with wine 🙂

  12. May says

    I could eat spaghetti 3 times a week, love it with red sauce and meatballs, because i can pick out the meat! Love it with musrooms too, with no meat! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

  13. Carmen says

    Cookie dough! Yes, I know you’re not supposed to eat it, but it tastes so good. And this Christmas I discovered a recipe for cookie dough truffles that are dipped in chocolate and are fabulous.

  15. Joe Parajecki says

    Fresh Bread, Pizza, BBQ, Sausages, Bacon….oh wait I didn’t have to list them all did I?

  16. Joy says

    Food is my weakness. I love most any food, and have a special spot for doughnuts, pies and pastries, creme brulee, and a juicy hunk of cow. 🙂

  28. deanna middleton says

    I can’t deny a doughnut, either. Chicken fried steak is also one of my favorites, being from Texas.

  29. heidi bailey says

    Cheetos are my weakness usually it is the crunchy ones but I cant say no to the puffs or the hot ones either. When I was in college they didnt sell the hot ones so my mom would send me a couple bags every month

  32. Ali G says

    I have a hard time controlling myself with any fresh baked good: cookies, buns, or cake, it doesn’t matter. Fresh from the oven and I’m in trouble!

  42. Donna says

    ..like I have to name a category…food is my weakness…period!! Well, if I have to narrow it down…lets go with carbs…i’m on a low carb diet and I could just lay down in a field of pasta right now and roll over and just slurp my way through it!! Thanks!

  44. Brenda Massey says

    I have a few, but they are all because the people that made them have passed away so I can’t get them any more. If I could I would be SO FAT

    My Dad’s Webber Grilled Thanksgiving Turkey
    My Nana’s Peach Cobbler
    My Grandfathers Squash Casserole
    and my Great Aunt’s Rice Pudding!!

  47. Obidia says

    Food weaknesses…where do I start? Chocolate, peanut butter, desserts (frosted sugar cookies, brownies, cake, pie) and donuts. I think I have a major sweet tooth. Can’t go wrong with pasta and big juicy burgers too. sigh…

  49. Darlene says

    eggs benedict, nachos, French onion soup (well-done cheese), corndogs slathered in mustard, crabbakes, BBQ ribs
