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.

    I have a weakness for the 4 main food groups.- potato chips with dip, cinnamon rolls, coffee and white wine.

  5. Alyssa says

    My food weakness is butternut squash. I know that sounds odd, but I really can’t get enough of it. I don’t think there’s ever been a recipe with BNS in it that I haven’t leaped up to try immediately. And it’s how my fiance snagged me by using it in the first meal he ever made me 🙂

  10. Kristi P. says

    Cake. So much so – I cannot even have it around or I’ll eat WAY too much of it!!! drat. double drat! 😉

  11. tasha says

    Doughnuts for sure…a warm, deep-fried, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside sugar doughnut is my everything! lol

  13. Melissa says

    My food weakness is anything sweet. I didn’t develop a sweet tooth until after the age of 25, but it’s here, and it’s not going anywhere. I cannot turn down ANYTHING sweet, especially after a meal. It wraps up the experience with a perfect ending.

  17. Lindsey Gage says

    I’m obsessed with sweets! But lately I have been on a quest to make the perfect cinnamon rolls. I can’t wait for this cookbook!

  20. Michelle says

  34. Lynne says

  35. Barbara Justiss says

    My food addition is potato chips. I can eat the entire family size bag at one time if I need a pick me up.

  36. Cathy Pendrak says

    My favorites change but right now it is a Mango smoothie. It is simple to make but oh so good!!! If there were a couple of snicker doodle cookies laying there on a plate by the smoothie well then they would be my favorite also.

  45. mandy says

    well now that im about 3 mos pregnant, im sure not what ISN’T food weakness lol but as of late, ive wanted savory/salty foods – crunchy cheetos seem to be doing the trick along with a nice sandwich with lots of yummy toppings!!

  46. jill whitmore says

  47. Kim Williams says

    Ha! Weaknesses or incentives??!? I say incentive because I must limit myself:

    1. Häagen-Daz;
    2. Iced coffee: and
    3. Dark chocolate

  49. Debby says

    How do I pick just one?? I will say that bread, in many forms, is my main weakness. Our family has always used it as comfort food.
