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.

    weakness? Hmmm.. which one? I love almost anything chocolate. MUST have my coffee in the morning, though, or my day just does not go as it should. LOL

    Ice cream. I’m not picky, I like everything from cheap twist cones to the finest gelato. As a dietitian I’ve never once had the heart to tell someone to give it up, because it would be like giving up joy. As a North Dakotan I will eat it in the dead of winter (see: joy). I recently discovered Talenti Double Dark Chocolate gelato…uff da!

  19. Tracy says

    Love, love, love tortilla chips with homemade salsa and guacamole! I could eat the entire bag/jar at one sitting! Also, my homemade butter cake with my buttercream frosting — just another reason to look forward to birthdays! 🙂

  21. Kristi says

    My food weakness is definately sweets! I love cakes, donuts and cookies. Oh and that Red Velvet Cake the Pioneer Woman made last week on the Food Network is next on my list to bake. I absolutely love her show!

  22. Becky says

    I love all of her comfort foods, I grew up cooking for a farm family also, when I was younger, so it was meat, potatoes, and a vegetable at every meal. Of course the meal had to end with a fabulous dessert, just like Ree does.
    At the moment, my husbands favorite is her BBQ bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers….They are yummy and there are never leftovers…..Great Cooking Ree, love your cookbooks and your new show on the Food Network, never miss it!! Keep up the good work

    Ice Cream. Hands down. And with Shamrock Shakes being out right now, I’ve gained 10 lbs! eek!!

  31. Stacy Lynn says

    My mom’s homemade bread. I could eat an entire loaf by myself when it is fresh from the oven.

  37. Laura says

    Gosh… so many. I am a sucker for anything PASTA!! (a very close 2nd is chocolate and peanut butter)

  38. Susan says

    Baked cheese & any drink with vanilla vodka – I know, vodka isn’t a food, but i only drink when I’m eating so it’s hard to separate the two!

  41. stephanie says

    all food makes me weak – especially when it’s been prepared by someone else, but my true kryptonite is chocolate in every form.

  45. Stefanie Obrenski says

    I was born with a sweet tooth for sure. I LOVE any dessert with cream cheese involved. Coconut is my newest obsession and anything with lemon in it always gets my attention!

  47. ML Spell says

    Cherries. It doesn’t matter how many recipes I have planned for them; I inevitably eat the whole batch out-of-hand before anyone else in the house can blink.

  50. Amanda says

    Dairy in general, but especially cheese. And cheese. And did I mention cheese? Sugar is a weakness as well, but I’m not supposed to say that, since I’m giving that up for Lent. 😉
