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.

    Pizza will always be my food weakness, but thankfully I’ve also learned to make my own at home so I can make a more healthy version.

  4. Barbara says

    My food weakness…anything with chocolate. I have a particular weak spot when it comes to Callebaut chocolate…oh yum. My daughter introduced me to this chocolate and it’s absolute heaven.

  6. Sarah says

    Food weaknesses depend on the day. For savory cravings, a good burger (especially a blue cheese and bacon burger with BBQ sauce)…for sweet cravings, anything chocolate or caramely. Mmmmm.

  16. K. Ahlborn says

    My weaknesses are as follows: nutella, chocolate, oreos, chocolate chip cookies, Ben & Jerry’s, french bread, cheese, and Chai. This list is too long for my personal comfort, but I can’t help this.

    Candy! I can’t pass up candy corn in the Fall, all Christmas Candy, candy hearts for Valentine’s, Peep’s for Easter, etc… Ugh! I even hide it from my daughter!

  18. Heather says

    Red Velvet anything……..cake, cupcakes! Can’t wait to try Pioneer Woman’s Red Velvet sheet cake.

  19. tara says

    wow! where do I start…. I love desserts preferably a baked fruit. Dairy is included in many recipes; but overall I consume alot of onions and bellpeppers. My daily intake generally includes both of these at some point.

  24. Kelly Otwell says

    My weakness is a big pan of creamy mac and cheese or a sweet fudgy brownie! Make me hungry right now!!!!

  27. Stephanie says

    I LOVE chocolate!!! Anything CHOCOLATE!!! It is my worst weakness ever!! If chocolate isn’t an options then I choose BREAD!! I guess you could say I’m a carbs junkie!! Ree has made my cooking and baking experience with both of these so much better!! I use to HATE to cook and bake until I bought her cookbook and realized it really isn’t that hard. The step by step tutorials make a world of difference for a visual girl like me and I can’t wait for the new cookbook. I LOVE to COOK now and NEED this new book!! =)

  44. LeAnn says

    My food weaknesses are: anything with melty cheese, any French desserts, and anything my mom made when I was little – especially her desserts!

  45. Erin says
