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.

    Chocolate. Oh and ice cream. And Brandy Alexanders. The things I love just keep popping into my head.

    My food weakness is for fresh hot cookies right out of the oven…Any cookie will do, but my all time favorite is for chocolate chip with walnuts……I eat one out of each pan as I pull them out of the oven. So I always have 11 on the sheet….and if I make a double batch WOW…look out!! ha!…No supper for me….

  12. Cory S. says

    Homemade bread, warm out of the oven with real butter slathered all over it! Winning!! Oh, and any flavor of cheesecake. I will give away state secrets for a bite!

  14. Leanne says

    Warm bread with butter, cheese, and ice cream. A day without icecream is like a day without sunshine!

  19. Melinda says

    Anything involving cheese…hot and gooey, preferably with pasta. Never met a cheese I didn’t like. And a really good steak, cooked perfectly. Avocados anyway you can eat them. And ice cold coca-cola, in a can–the straight stuff–not the diet or caffeine free stuff (why bother). Although coke isn’t a food, but since you asked. Oh, and my grandmothers angel food cake with that 7 minute frosting, tinted the palest pink for my birthday. Should I stop now?

  20. Kathy says

    Chocolate and Cheese lover here 😉 And of course, if that doesn’t work ~ something salty 🙂 And you know what that means….hahaha 😉

  22. Sarah Lynch says

    As I am currently going through chemo I have to say York peppermint patties, they get rid of the yucky chemo taste!

  26. Juliet says

    BROWNIES…my whole family loves brownies…I do not make them often due to potential overdose….LOL

  34. Becky McIntire says

    Anything with cheese. Any kind of cheese. All the problems it creates in my daily aroma is worth every bite!

  35. DawnO says

    Sushi and pizza—not at the same time. Then again, I’ve never tried them together, so I shouldn’t rule it out!

  36. Megan says

    Ree’s “Knock You Naked Brownies”, they are delicious!! My husband was after me to make them for him and they are so hard to stay out of!!! Delicious!

  45. Sandra H says
