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.

    Chocolate, salt and lobster are my weaknesses. I bought 2 boxes of Entemann’s donuts yesterday and a container of brownies. I just was diagnosed with seafood allergies, so that’s saved me from moving to Boston to be closer to it. And I’m not kidding about moving!

    My food weakness is BREAD…and all things that have anything to do with bread. Especially fresh baked bread, then made into toast, and a great cup of tea to dip it in! mmmmm

  13. Ronda says

    Dark Chocolate is my weakness. I’m always look for new recipes and chocolate shops while at home or on the road!

  17. Alesia Bryant says

    My food weakness is “anything” with sugar, especially homemade butterfinger ice cream. I am a Dessert Diva!!

  22. Cindy S. in MA says

    Oh my just send me dark chocolate… I can’t even have it in the house because it disappears so quickly without my knowing who devoured it … wink!

  24. janice says

    ashamed and i truly love to cook and do but i have to have my fast food fix at least once, sometimes twice a week.

  29. Sara M says

    Chocolate, peanut butter, and bananas in any combination or all together! Nutella is a sure weakness.

  35. Missy W says

    Anything that gets to be dipped…I love dip, cold dips, hot dips, sour cream based, cheese based, bread dips, veggie dips…even humus! And I consider flavored cream cheese to be a dip…

  37. Julie says

    I LOVE pasta, but a true weakness is the cookies my aunt makes for Christmas. She makes dozens of different kinds, and if I am at her house, I try to sneak as many as possible! 🙂

  39. cookinggram says

    My weakness is chicken escarole soup in cold weather and in the warm weather it is homemade coleslaw with burgers.

  45. Leslie H says

    Anything salty, or fried- french fries, potato chips, chicken fried steak….When that sort of thing isn’t available, just give me any old carbohydrate.

  46. marie anderson says

  49. LouAnn says

    My all-time food love is potato chips. Plain, ol’ greasy (Lays) potato chips. If there’s ANY in the house, they’re gone in a matter of minutes. (I don’t even buy them for parties or tailgates, cause there might end up being leftover chips in the house! Imagine that!)
