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.

    Rice Pudding! I know, right… strange. I think it’s a childhood memory that keeps me addicted to it…. my Grandma showed me how to make it the old-fashioned way. Love eating it today!

  12. Kelli H says

    Anything salty and sweet together! And chips and dip…and salsa…guacamole…anything with cream cheese… 🙂

  14. Rachael Kauffman says

    When I was a kid my weakness was oatmeal cream pies from Little Debbie. Now I love anything sweet and salty together like m&ms and popcorn. yum!!

  15. linda sue says

    Chips, salsa, salty peanuts. My husband is the other end of the spectrum and would eat sugar snakcs 24/7 if he could.

  25. Donna says

    My food weekness has to be comfort food. Love chicken & dumplings, chicken & dressing, mac & cheese. All these foods calm the soul! Love watching the Pioneer Woman & her family on food network. I would love to receive her new cookbook.
    Thanks

    Food weaknesses? Peanut M&M’s, movie popcorn, and if you’re asking for something a bit healthier– Cheese (of almost any variety) and strawberries!

  28. Regena Berg says

    My weakness is artisan breads from toasted with jam, to panini’s. Last night I served up a basket of various kinds of artisan breads with cheese and sundried tomatoes, basil and parm, olive and rosemary olive oil with sea salt to eat with homemade soup. I never buy regular loaf bread. Always looking for bread recipes!

  30. Amanda Tubbs says

    Cheese, all kinds of cheese, I always end up eating a quarter of the block when I go to grate it!

  38. Tori says

    Tortilla chips. Just plain ol’ salty tortilla chips. With salsa is great but if there isn’t any, then just the chips will do. And I never know when to stop while eating them…

  44. Kori Dahl says

    Cheesecake! Plain cheesecake, strawberry cheesecake, cheesecake pudding, cheesecake ice cream…..the only cheesecake I hate is chocolate cheesecake…other than that I live for the stuff!!!!

  45. Michelle Tacha says

    I have been sick lately (the last 4 years ) and my husband has made your ranch dressing pizza dough and i dont know what all else . But the other day didn’t feel like eating much but we watch you on food network. Tha episode with corn chowder and may I say it hit the spot. So my favorite is your corn chowder !!! P.S the cookbook would be for him. His name is Greg.
    We used to have cattle like you do but he got ill and we had to
    Sell our farm off in Sperry Ok. So now his new love is cooking.
