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.

    peanut butter filled pretzles – fortunately i do not know how to make these from scratch however the tubs that my grocery store sells them in do NOT make for easy portion control!! only thing worse that these (or should i say better) are the ones covered in chocololate!!!

  10. Susan says

    Chocolate….wine……shrimp….crab……pasta…….my grandmothers swisschard…..sour cream cookies……french fries……ripe peaches…..fresh warm bread…….roast beef or pork and mashed potatoes and gravy…..roast turkey….. I could go on!

  17. Connie says

    Chips and hot sauce…I could sit and just eat that alone all by my lonesome without sharing….Yum!!!

  24. Sabrina5000 says

    Chocolate!, who doesn’t luv chocolate? cookies, cakes, candy bars and oh, did I mention doughnuts?

  26. Kristi says

    I cannot pass up freshly baked chocolate chip cookies or cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven. yummmmm!

  30. Pamela Bicart says

    My weakness is any kind of gummy candy…. gummy bears, gummy worms, Swedish fish, hot tomales, licorice. You get the picture 🙂

  32. Patti Thames says

    Pastries, crisp on the outside,flaky on the inside, with or without fillings. I like them warm, fresh from the oven. I have to ban myself from pastry shops. On very special occasions I’ll give in to my indulgence, almond croissant from C’est La Vie in Hattiesburg, MS.

  37. Charlene Glover says

    Hard to choose just one weakness…cheesecake, chocolate cupcakes, sugar cookies and brownies. Would love Ree’s new book, have the first one and love it. Thanks for the chance to win.

  40. Tiffany says

    I don’t just have one weakness…I have several! Anything chocolate and if you mix some peanut butter in there then it’s even better! Pasta…anything with pasta is…comfort food! Lastly, pizza – yum!

  42. Summer Lopez says

    Toss between Tex Mex (Enchiladas or Tacos!) or Good Home Cooked Southern Food….the kind that sticks to your ribs! I’m a Texan, but born & raised 12 years in West Virginia, so I might have to go with my Aunt’s HOMEMADE Buttermilk Biscuits w/ Sausage Gravy.

  43. Laura says

    potato chips, chocolate cake, almond croissants, french macarons, burgers…I’m all over the board!

  45. Tessie Kempen says

    anything chocolate, pastries, coffee drinks, french fries, this is beginning to sound bad, fancy breads…I must stop thinking about food

    B-U-T-T-E-R
