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.

    Anything with sugar. I should have been a honey bee. At least it would be ok to have a rounded shape! I dunno about the color scheme of my pjs but I can live with that!

  12. Brenda Nuland says

    Definitely chocolate!

    I preordered Ree’s cookbook for my granddaughter’s 10th birthday gift. She asked for it! I’d love to have a copy of my own.

    I have Ree’s first cookbook and it is well used. 🙂

  13. Treva Joines says

    I have so many!! Let’s see….all things cheesey, pastas, a good T-Bone on the BBQ with grilled asparagus and sauteed schrooms. I could go on but I won’t.

  18. Tina B. says

    Chocolate! Specifically, chocolate ice cream. Or warm brownies (corner piece because it’s deliciously crunchy-chewy) topped with vanilla ice cream . . . .

  22. Jill says

    Desserts of any kind are my weakness! I have more sweet treats saved in my “to try” folder than I’ll ever get around to making in my lifetime!

  34. Maureen says

    Your cookbook is next in my collection. Can’t wait! My food weekness is homemade caramels. We have a very old family recipe and my mouth waters just thinking of eating them while wrapping and laughing all at the same time. Great memories.

  36. Chelsey K says

    My biggest weekend is cake with LOTS of frosting! At family events I’m usually throwing elbows to make sure I get a corner piece that is overflowing with frosting;)

  38. Heather says

    One weakness? Any kind of cheesy pasta… from alfredo sauce to your classic macaroni and cheese 🙂

  41. Karen says

    My food weakness is nachos with cheese, salsa and sour cream. If these are in the house, that’s my snack.

  42. Nancy Adamson says

    My food weakness is anything chocolate! There’s nothing more comforting when things go wrong than anything chocolate to ease the hurt.

  44. Diane Troxell says

    Fresh-made guacamole and chips is my number one weakness. Other weakness include warm bread just out of my bread machine (any kind) slathered with butter; almost any kind of cheese; and a good wine to wash it down.

  47. Penny Westfall says

    Freshly baked homemade cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting, and a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee! Oh My Goodness…YUM!!!

  49. Marcia says

    How does one choose … pasta is a favorite and for dessert there must be chocolate but then there are all those comfort food casseroles that come to the table on chilly winter evenings ….. and new recipes are so refreshing!

  50. Vicki says

    I love fried bacon and sauteed onions with butter mixed with spaghetti (sp?) and a dash of oregano and lots of black pepper. If no one is around I eat it right out of the pot.
