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.

    Give me a white cream sauce on anything!!! (Biscuits, pasta, chicken fried steak……………etc.) Mmmmmmm delicious!

  5. Katie says

    What an awesome giveaway!!! Jamocha shakes (especially when they used to come with oreos)… and mini Reese cups… and pizza rolls… YUM. Thank you for the chance to win!

  11. Stephanie says

    Soda cracker crunch (layers of saltines, toffee, chocolate & chopped walnuts)- I only make it at Christmas because I would be huge if I made it year round – love it!

  14. Joyce says

    Dare I say my weakness is cookies, cookies and more cookies? And, bacon! Found the perfect remedy….chocolate chip and bacon cookies…there is a God!

  15. Amber says

    Cookies…..sugar cookies to be exact. I could wipe out an entire batch in mere days. And anything slathered in butter. Which is one of many reasons why I love Ree, she uses “real” butter and LOTS of it!!

  16. Martha Wheeler says

    Cheese….plenty of cheese!! Shreded cheese w/mayo and green onion on a cracker!! (or olives instead of onion! or BOTH!)

  20. Ilse says

    I am addicted to anything cheesy and creamy. Oh, and noodles. Not particularly good for you (understatement of the year), but oh so delicious.

  21. Leah S says

    Anything homemade! I love making and eating dishes that were made with love. Last week we ate at a friends house and she made yellow rice with chopped up grilled chicken, layered with beans. To finish it off, homemade curry sauce. YUM YUM YUM!!! So good that I made it at my house 3 days later! LOVE IT! 🙂

    Homemade bread, toasted, with cinnamon honey made by my childhood friend Bay Woodyard of Honey Pie Hives and Herbals http://www.facebook.com/#!/HoneyPieHivesandHerbals

  24. Rachelle Lamberson says

    I absolutely and completely love the brussel sprouts with cranberries that Ree gave the recipe for. Hard to believe right? BRUSSEL SPROUTS!!! How is it possible to love something like that? They are yummy though and I make them often. I bought a bag of dried cranberries from Costco – just for my sprouts 🙂

  28. Sally says

    Don’t eat it often, but real hot fudge is just the best. Fortunately I’m not a big icecream fan,so the occasional splurge is ok.

  29. Tiffanie says

    There are too many! I would say my top one is Reese’s peanut butter cups! 🙁 Can’t believe I just admited that! Thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway!

  33. Jenn Hannifan says

    I am helpless when it comes to Sweet Chili rice chips. I have to limit myself to one serving, or I’d eat the 4-5 servings in the bag! They are that good!!

  40. Debra says

    Whatever Ree is cooking on food network is my current weakness,also had to go to the grocer’s for pita chips after viewing “meatless BLT” recipe on her websiteso could try this unique recipe!

  45. Kathryn says

    All baked sweet goodies: cookies, muffins, brownies, breads – I can’t get enough of them! I love to bake them, but I have to quickly get them out of the house or else I’ll end up eatting it all up! Needless to say my husband’s coworkers are more than willing to do the eatting for me 🙂
