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.

    CAKE… chocolate cake with chocolate frosting my favorite…. Ice cream cakes a very close second. Not sure really if its the cake or the frosting. :0)

  22. Lisa S. says

    My weakness is my Mom’s homemade flour tortillas smothered in butter.. I stand over her as she makes them and eat them as soon as one is done!

  23. lilmangiarone says

    ice cream, peanut butter, and bacon. separately, not together… though i hear there are people who like that… i like to think I’m a purist.

  30. Cassandra J says

    Anything my mom cooks. In particular, her biscuits and gravy, fried eggs, pasta toss salad…I could go on and on.

  32. Rachel says

    Sugar lol…but if I have to pick something…a good batch of French Toast usually does the trick!

  35. Christina says

    PEANUT BUTTER. This addiction started, ironically, a year ago during Lent; when I had decided to cut out desert from my life and ended up overdosing on peanut butter.

  41. Barbie says

    Like you I LOVE potato chips – I’ve never met a chip I didn’t like. 🙂 you can keep the donuts but if you put chips and dip in front of me I’m a happy girl.

  42. Paula Gossman says

    My weakness is CHOCOLATE….ANYTHING with beautiful Milk Chocolate on it is my food of choice, anytime, anywhere!

  47. Allie says

    PW’s cinnamon rolls! It’s a must for my family on all important holidays, and all other days in between…

  49. Nyssa says

    Bananas! I love them in my cereal (or peanut butter oatmeal), caramelized and topped on everything, with peanut butter, and making them into bread.
