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.

    gosh, where do i start. anything sweet and sticky homemade. anything savory cooked on the grill, anything canned for the winter by my mom

  3. Kelcey says

    my weakness is pasta – fried chicken & gravy over noodles…….but now I have grown really fond of Ree’s beef tenderloin from her first cookbook!

  4. Jessica Palmer says

    Im a total sucker for anything chocolate and peanut butter!!!!!!
    And chips and salsa. 🙂

  5. Michelle L says

    I love all kinds of bread, fresh out of the oven is best and pasta I could get it dry or cooked. Anything with pasta a cheese, like mac n cheese, especially Velveeta shells and cheese, I could eat the whole box.

  7. Rebecca says

    coffee milk, definitely a New England drink. It is sweet syrup swirled into milk and I usually shake the bottle to make it frothy…so delicious..It’s even better than coffee ice cream!

  8. Patti says

    Bread and pastries and chocolate, of course. I gave up all sweets for Lent, which is hard but I have lost 2 lbs already!
    Love Ree and her cookbook!

  11. Kristan C. says

    My weaknesses are bread and wine! Both of which I gave up for Lent! It’s been a rough two weeks!!!

  13. Georgann Ganas says

    Peanutbutter. And cookies (but oddly enough, not peanutbutter cookies). Oh yeah, and pasta. And soft pretzels.

  14. Kim Monger says

    I love Chocolate, so anything with chocolate and I must try! I love Ree Drummond’s cookbooks, would really like to win this one!

  23. Meghan R says

    Definitely chocolate! I don’t think I could do without it. I also LOVE potato chips, donuts, and other fried foods, but I could probably give those up for Lent and be fine, but chocolate is a whole ‘nother story!

  24. Heidi says

    Cheetos…what can I say? I don’t even think they are classified as food, but definitely my weakness!

  33. Kimberly Kukla says

    My weakness … chocolate chip cookies! I guess I should say … anything with chocolate!

  34. Lequitta says

    My weaknesses for food are oh, so many! My Granny’s Chicken and Dumplings; Roast Beef with rice and gravy; barbecue…. but the heavenly Brownie/Cake/Fudgy delight that my Granny calls Texas Sheet Cake is irresistible!

  38. Vicki says

    CHIPS, CHIPS and more CHIPS, then Chocolate, Chocolate Raisins, then CHIPS again, can’t have a bag in the house or else, they will be eaten fast,
    Especially the Lays , lighter salt ones, whole bag in one sitting

  41. Lynn says

    I have nearly no willpower where french fries are concerned!! 🙂 And occasionally nearly anything chocolate. Yikes.

  42. Darby says

    Quesadillas…piled full of good stuff and overflowing with cheese! Guacamole on the side? Don’t mind if I do!

  44. Anna says

    I have many vices such as Ree’s cinnamon rolls. They are amazing, plus chocolate, avocados, and potatoes. I love food!

  50. Sarah says

    My weakness… Pasta. Never met a pasta dish I didn’t like. Just leave out the green peppers and I’m in heaven.
