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.

    Baked corn pudding made from corn fresh off the cob is something that I just love! I could eat the whole pan!

  2. Jennifer says

    I love crispy bacon in the morning and for a bedtime treat is has to be chocolate mint ice cream OR pecan pie! I commented to my husband one evening how much I loved pecan pie. He said, “I wish I was pecan pie”. He has a new nickname now!!!

  4. Tricia says

    Butter, flour, sugar, eggs…in any combination with additions of chocolate, nuts and always a little vanilla. I could bake in my sleep….seriously 🙂

  7. Victoria Amrhein says

    Apple cobbler. I mean who wouldn’t love some Cinnamin sugar apples surrounded by a bread that requires 1 whole stick of butter and 1 full cup of sugar. Yum…. Throw some Bluebell Vanilla ice cream in and you have heaven via your taste buds.

  8. Janis Covington Stufflebean says

    Hot bread and butter, meatloaf and pound cake!! That is today, tomorrow would probably involve chocolate, lots of chocolate!

  9. Jody Champion says

    Anything with any kind of chocolate in any form, shape, flavor, scent, crumble, powder, whatever! Thank you!

  10. Maryclare says

    Mine, like your’s, is potato chips. I can’t keep them around anymore otherwise I will eat the whole bag at once.

  12. Kristen says

    Carbs! My weakness is totally carb driven…..doughnuts, chips,homemade bread, cookies. And I am also a gluten for cheese!

  30. Sandra Ruble says

    My weakness is ice cream…almost any flavor! It goes back to my childhood when my mom made homemade ice cream and dad put it in his two gallon (yes two gallon) hand crank freezer. That was one time that mom let us eat all we wanted and my sisters and I loved it.

  34. Elaine says

    Hot biscuits, butter and honey or strawberry jam. Takes me back to Friday night breakfast for dinner!

  36. Amy Abert says

    Anything with caramel. I can pass up chocolate or ice cream anytime, but drizzle some caramel over it and I’m a goner.

  38. Karen Jones says

    hmmmmm. does coffee count? if so, then it would be coffee, prime rib and fajitas …… if coffee doesn’t count, then it would have to be a big juicy cheeseburger, prime rib and fajitas!

  47. Erica says

    Cookies, cereal, granola bars, chocolate….I guess most baked goods and sweets are VERY hard to resist!!

  48. kate C. says

    Normally I’d have to say ice cream, but my new year’s resolution was to limit ice cream to only 2x a week and I have been successful!! And surprisingly, it’s actually decreased my cravings for ice cream. Strange! So I guess instead I’d have to say my biggest weakness are butterfingers (around Halloween is the only time we have them in the house and I can’t hardly stop eating them!)
