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.

    My biggest food weakness would probably be bread, give me warm, delicious bread – any kind, and I am in heaven!

  12. Denise D. says

    Home made donuts. I nearly freaked out when you said Ree has a recipe for that!

    Ice cream. Oh, wonderful ice cream.

    And bread. I love good homemade bread.

  16. Brie says

    I have many food weaknesses…I love food in general! My biggest ones are pasta, potatoes, and any kind of cobbler!

  18. Marsha Kummer says

    homeade bread straight from the oven with a slabe of homeade “Hooterite” butter straight from the Heartland Colony, Havre Montana!!!!

  19. Melony says

    The french toast and vanilla scones that Ree makes
    are truly my downfalls. They are delicious! I freeze
    the extra french toast for the boys to enjoy during
    the week!!

  26. Serena says

    Salt and vinegar chips, or maybe Lindt dark chocolate bars with a touch of sea salt. Mostly just anything in combination with salt.

  33. Marsha says

    Homemade bread, anything turtle….turtle brownies, turtle ice cream, turtle cheesecake. Nothing better that caramel, chocolate and nuts. Yum

  35. Explorer1 says

    I’ve never met a carbohydrate that I didn’t like! But I have to say that the worst is caramel and chocolate, with a close second of tortilla chips.
