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.

    My food weakness is/was brownies! They have been so hard to give up since I found out I am prediabetic but I am staying strong.

    Chocolate cake, spaghetti and potatoes. I wish fruit and salads could fill those shoes. Darn carbs!

    My weakness is cinnamon rolls! The Pioneer Woman has the best recipe but you can’t eat just one!

    I love to bake, so anything sweet is a major weakness of mine. It’s hard not to taste test my own creations! Self-control is highly overrated. 🙂 Desserts with fruit and chocolate are at the top of my list of weaknesses.

    Love breads and pastas and desserts! All the things we are supposed to moderate. Oh, and add butter. To everything! Yummy!!!

    Pam, I am SO with you – Donuts are my FAVORITE FAVORITE! I prefer them, ANY kind, over any dessert on the planet :))) (Baklava is a close second!)

  35. Kirren says

    I have a lot of food weaknesses, but potato chips, cheese, and Nutella are at the top of the list.

    Ice Cream…I can’t just have one scoop. If I’m going to eat it I’m going to eat the entire pint!

  39. Kim Amado says

    I have a weakness for anything sweet, or chocolate, gooey, cakey, nutty, salty, savory, soupy,chunky, baked, fried, frozen……. I love it all.

  40. Becca says

    I’m a crabaholic! Yes, I admit it – crabs are my downfall. Boiled crabs! Fried softshell crabs! Aw man….now I’m drooling on my keyboard.

    Oh, and Hershey’s kisses! Mmmm…crabs and kisses!

  41. Sandy L says

    My weakness is sweets!!! No, no wait..potato chips, yah, chips. Oh and I like pizza. Just too many things to list. 🙂

  42. Linda VanDervoort says

    Pizza….in any shape or form…..oh, and with some warm nacho cheese to dip the crust edges!

  43. Heather H says

    Potatoes. Potatoes with garlic. Potatoes with cheese. Potatoes dripping with butter, sour cream and chives! Baked, mashed, fried. You name it, I love it!

  44. Pam Bumlp says

    A good rib eye steak, cooked to perfection with blue cheese! Yummy!! I love PW! My family loves PW!

  45. Springsteen fan says

    My weaknesses are almost everything in Ree’s books, but in order of their kryptonite-like power over me:

    Brownies a la mode
    lasagna
    hot rolls w/butter at a French restaurant with cloth napkins
    Ruffles potato chips and onion dip

  48. Toni Burdette says

    Since I’ve had my Lap-Band surgery, my weakness pleasure is warm, gooey straight out of the oven Peanut Butter Cookies.
