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 with buttercream icing and Ice Cream an added bonus is if it has candles on it to warm the frosting slightly. Delicious!

    Homemade banana pudding. I cannot, will not, don’t want to resist. Fortunately, it’s not in too much favor right now. However, PF Chang’s has a banana spring roll that is incredible – I’ve never wanted to lick a plate before, but my husband had to stop me that night.

  13. cindy maulin says

    food weakness huh??? ummmm…let’s see..too many to tell!! CANNOT resist warm homemade bread in any form…crusty, soft, wheat ,rolls..doesn’t matter…. my best yum…

  14. Mary says

    It would have to be either my red velvet cake (recipe was my mother’s), I make it for my daughter’s birthday every year, or my potato rolls (my great grandmother’s recipe). Both are so yummy and bring back happy memories.

  18. Pam McG from Ohio says

    Potatoes of any way shape or form. Mashed, baked, scalloped, french fries, hash browns, fried potatoes au gratin etc, etc. I’ve never met a potato I didn’t like and that didn’t like me back!!!!

  22. Christine says

    My weakness is Ham, I love to cook a ham in my necsco and then have it with cheesy potatos and I could eat the leftovers for every meal until it’s gone.

  24. Barb M says

    My food weaknesses are: cheese (especially a good cheddar), chocolate, potatoes(any kind), and bread.

  28. Grandmere Joanie says

    Bread and any of its relatives: white, sourdough, foccacia, pumpernickle, rolls, tortillas, cake, on and on and on…

  30. Sharon says

  32. Marilyn Jones says

    What would anyone do without ice cream? My favorite is chocolate chip or some kind of decadent chocolate. Ummmmm.

  41. Paula Brown says

    I love her recipes, her blog and her craziness. I would love a copy of her new book for sure!

  42. Paula C. says

    Basically any food that is loaded with carbs. Breads, desserts, crackers, chips. If it’s loaded I have trouble resisting.

  43. Andrea T says

    My weaknesses? Anything carby! Bread, danishes, donuts, cake, pasta. Chips and pretzels don’t tempt me at all but I can’t quit the carbs.

  44. Lynnel says

    Butter, mostly, on most anything. Except cake, which my dad always did but I never could get into. But most anything else – veggies, bread, even meats are better with herbed butter on top. Clearly I need therapy
