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.

    I’m a sucker for cookies and brownies. Keep your cakes, doughnuts, and pies, but you might want to hide your no-bakes and chocolate chips when I’m around.

  3. Carla says

    Banana bread about 10 minutes out of the oven. Some times with a little butter, sometimes just straight from the pan.

  4. Jenn Hillman says

    Cheese, I love rich soft cheeses on crackers with salami and kalamata olives…oh now my mouth is watering!!!!

  6. Allison says

    My food weekendness are definitely cheese, pasta and doughnuts. Three things I cannot possibly say no to!

  8. socialkim says

    My food weaknesses: pizza, Nutella in any form, fashion or dish, especially just on a spoon, and cheese–the stinkier, the better! I can resist most anything else but these.

  10. Teresa W says

    Peeps. I just got through eating 2 bunnies. I can hardly wait for Easter to roll around and for them to show up in the stores.

  14. Mindy says

    Pasta. Some type of noodle, with some kind of sauce. I’m not picky. I haven’t met a combination I didn’t like. PW’s Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce is to…die…for. Definitely need the new book!

  20. Jennifer says

    I have MANY weaknesses, but at the top of the list would be anything Italian, anything fried in yummy BUTTER, and good ole’ steak and taters!!! OH…and my sweet husband in his Wranglers! 🙂

  21. Dawn Louise says

    I love love love Pizza. I could eat it every day if I could get away with it. It can be from a pizza shop or made at home it makes no difference. It can be just cheese or loaded with everything.

  22. AKM says

    Ooh, food weaknesses! Just discovered one: Trader Joe’s truffle cheese. Decadent!

    Also, pizza–any kind–I will always have to eat some.

  25. Penni says

    I could probably list so many, but I’ll go with these three…Buffalo chicken dip, ice cream, and really great bread (with butter, of course)!

    All food. I’m a foodie. I love to make old family recipes, create new ones…from using Arugula to Truffle butter to fresh ginger…a good stir fry or fresh bread to a decadent Sour Cream Chocolate cake….I’m a sucker for it all!

  30. ashley says

    My weakness is macaroni and cheese! There are so many ways you can make it, different toppings, different cheeses! It is a great comfort food

  31. Stephanie Reed says

    Chocolate. That’s my food weakness. I could eat it anytime of the day no matter what season or how full I may already be. I love it! White, milk, dark or otherwise, I love chocolate!

  32. Shannon Mulligan-Mayernik says

    WOW—I have a lot of food weaknesses but my one true weakness has got to be spin dip with a good pumpernickel bread. I could eat the whole loaf alone with all the dip! It’s not a healthy weakness—but boy-oh-boy—it sure does go down easy!!! Can’t wait to read Ree’s new book! Thanks for the chance to win!

  39. Karen says

    Wow, food weaknesses, huh? Definitely cheese, pasta, or anything that combines the two! Chocolate would be my weakness for something sweet. I just love food, and it shows! I also love Ree’s recipes, so I hope I win one of her books!

  40. Rinnie Kirk says

    My food weakness is french onion dip and wavy lays! I can eat an entire 16oz container of french onion dip in ONE DAY! Which is why it’s not allowed to be in the house!

  41. Jenny says

    Homemade Guac – I especially like Ree’s version which has become a staple at Tailgates and Pot Lucks! 🙂

  42. Jeryl says

    Pasta! Shell fish! Chocolate! Fresh crusty bread! Ripe peaches, melons & tomatoes! Shall I go on??? I could go all the way to PEZ candies.

  43. deb rodriguez says

    My one food weakness is homemade cinnamon rolls. The smell when they are baking is just the best.

  47. Libby Hanlon says

    My weakness is baked mac and cheese (my mother’s recipe). I don’t care if I’m stuffed to the gills, if its in the fridge, it calls my name until I give in and stuff myself even more. If there’s not enough left for a decent lunch or dinner serving, I’ll scramble it up with a couple of eggs for breakfast.

  50. Cindy says

    Mexican Food…..queso, enchiladas, tacos, salsa…YUMMY! Good thing I live in Texas where I can get awesome Tex-Mex!
