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 adore bread, chocolate and just about any kind of party foods. Sigh…I could go for any one of those right now.

  3. Jenni Campbell says

    Sugar…………ANYTHING with SUGAR, including maple syrup, liquid sweetener, brown sugar…………… I sprinkle it on ground beef, cabbage, fish, my scrambled eggs in the morning, tomatoes, pizza…… you name it! Maaaaaybe it’s because I’m hypoglycemic and crave it unwillingly that I do this………alas….and regardless, SUGAR is my weakness! Ahhhh, the glorious cloud-colored yummy stuff is my fav!!!!

    My favorite or weakness food is Pasta! I could eat Pasta 24/7 just can’t get enough. Must be my Italian heritage. Would love to win Pioneer Woman’s cookbook.

    My weakness would be PIZZA!!! Homemade fluffy crust, just a light bit of sauce and tons of cheese, ham, and veggies!!

  20. Hannah says

    My weakness is a Cuban dish my great aunt makes (her and my grandma are Cuban) arroz amarillo y pollo aka yellow rice and chicken! I also blame them for my weakness to a spanish candy called Turron and my addiction to bread soaked in olive oil.

  23. Christa Banister says

    My total food weakness is pasta. Penna alla vodka. Classic macaroni and cheese. Spaghetti with basil pesto. Just some fusili with butter and parm. Absolutely heaven. And if there’s tiramisu for dessert, well, even better.

  24. Chrissie C says

    My weakness is chocolate chip cookies. I can be so good and follow my diet but when I see a chocolate chip cookie, it’s downhill from there!

  25. Judy Hammack says

    Chocolate cheesecake and homemade chocolate pie that is cooked on the stove and poured into a precooked pie shell. My mother would sometimes make one for my brothers and me to be able to eat a warm piece when we got home from school—-YUM!

  29. Judy Ree says

    Cheese & any gooey cheese sauces…makes anything taste better! Millionaires aren’t so bad either 😀

  31. Kathy Powell says

    I cannot believe this but I would have to say…Avocados…and I am a chocoholic….but there is something about the rich, buttery, pale green …oh, yeah….avocados!

  34. Shirley Taylor says

    CHEESECAKE!!! I overdosed on Pumpkin (I made two),during AND after Christmas,there’s an Apple Pecan Cheesecake in the frige right now that I am trying HARD not to have another piece of!! Cheesecake!!

    Bread…Fresh and warm right out of the oven!!! Reminds me of my grandma, she made the best rolls!!!
