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.

    oh my, anything sweet actually. but if it’s chocolate-y or tiramisu, i will probably eat it whole and not share one single bit 😀

  11. Kristin Gideon says

    I hate to say it, but fast food is definitely my food weakness. I just love the convenience…and maybe the grease too lol. What a great giveaway, I love her first cookbook!

  13. Carmell says

    My biggest weakness is homemade mac and cheese, its impossible to resist multiple servings in one setting:)

  15. Louise W says

    Most food is my weakness, but if I had name something specific I would say a good dish of Macaroni and Cheese!

  20. Amy Swanson says

    It would have to be chocolate…chocolate cake, chocolate doughnuts, chocolate ice cream, chocolate covered anything! You see where I am going with this right??? Chocolate is oh so yummy 🙂

  24. Laura says

    I’m a chocolate, mashed potatoes, fried shrimp, Mexican food, doughnut kind of girl. I craved all 5 both times I was pregnant 🙂

  25. Elizabeth Smoot says

    I know this may be hard to believe but it’s popcorn. And only popcorn made with oil on the stove in the same pan I’ve been using for nearly 30 years! I could make it every night but I try to maintain some discipline and limit myself to twice a week. No butter but lots of salt!

  26. Chris Weidig says

    Anything with cheese! I love Ree’s style of cooking. I received her first cookbook as a gift two years ago and I love love love it! Can’t wait to get the second one!

  31. tonya says

    desserts with caramel or cream in them….caramel apples, salted caramel tart, eclairs….that sort of thing….Mmmmm!

  33. Melissa M says

    I have to admit total powerlessness over: Chocolate Chip cookies and my good friend, Karen’s brandysoaked figs wrapped in arugula and bacon, topped with a bit of bleu cheese and drizzled with honey. Ridiculous.

  34. Jen Poirier says

    My weakness is pasta in any shape or form. I can have it morning, noon or night. Pasta with tomato sauce made a thousand different ways. Just thinking about it has me planning our pasta dinner tonite!! I was married to a full blooded italian and my daughter makes the best sauce in the world, so I always know where to turn to when I need a fix of OMG I want the best sauce for my pasta!!

  37. Pam P says

    I have a weakness for just about anything sweet. But I guess I would have to list my Mother’s Banana Cream Pie.

  44. Amanda says

    1.) Macaroni & Cheese, the old-fashined powder kind.
    2.) Fried Chicken
    3.) Thai Chicken & Basil, as hot as possible!

  46. CarolinaGirl says

    My weakness is pretty much food in general!! But it really seems lately that I cannot get enough sweets!

  49. Jennifer says

    My weakness is kettle cooked salt and pepper potato chips. Give me a bag and I’ll eat it in one sitting. I also love Butterfinger ice cream. I don’t think I could give that up for very long.

  50. LindaHAZ says

    For starters: chocolate, peanut butter, nachos with lots and lots of cheese and sour cream…. Ooops got carried away… but I have a lot of food weaknesses.
