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.

  2. Elaine K says

    Potato chips are my utter weakness! I can’t get enough of them so I try to keep them out of my house…but sometimes I just can’t resist!

  6. Julie says

    My food weakness is anything that is glaring me in the eye waiting to be eaten. It could be chocolate chip cookies, homemade bread, or bananas!

  9. Gloria says

    Anything sweet especially apple dumplings with vanilla ice cream on top !! Love me some chocolate too !!

  11. Pamela says

    Oh, I have so many food weaknesses. Probably in the top spot would be a fresh, warn home made cookie, preferably still a little gooey from the oven, I also love cheese in most forms. So good. I could go on and on! And those donuts look incredible,

  12. Lisa says

    CARBS! PASTA with butter, salt and pepper, baked or mashed PASTA with the same. BREAD with butter.. and if it’s fresh with crunchy crust and tender insides.. I am doomed! Oh.. and Rice Krispie Treats. Those are the 4 food groups as far as I am concerned… pasta, potatoes, bread and Krispie Treats!

  19. Cindi C says

    Cookies!! Chocolate chip, chocolate chocolate chip, macadamia chocolate chip…see a theme here! Cookies are not safe in my kitchen!

  20. Lauren W. says

    My current obsession (pregnant with #3) is cinnamon rolls. I crave them like crazy! In a normal circumstance, I cannot pass up a cookie or candy without a taste.

  26. Jill says

    I love fresh baked blueberry muffins and anything related to chocolate! LOL
    Would love this opportunity to win her new cookbook. Thank you!

    Blessings,
    Jill

    My weakness these days is bread. I found a new bread recipe that is so easy to make and soooo delicious. My husband loves it, so I find myself making it for him (ha) almost every other day! I’ve put on a pound or two.

  35. Kathy says

    Dark chocolate covered power berries from Trader Joe’s. They are amazing, but I can’t buy them very often because I can’t control myself around them!!!:-)

  38. Jennifer S says

    Lately it has been pancakes, I am pregnant and cannot get enough of them! I have started making all different varieties (banana, blueberry, Carrot Raisin, Applesauce) so my family doesn’t get too sick of them, but I am always looking for new recipes!

  43. Jill says

    Where to start! Chips & salsa, oatmeal butterschotch cookies, ooey gooey cheesy pizza, and and pretty much any Mexican food, especially things covered in green chili!
