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
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
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
Enough! I’ve bared my soul now let’s hear from you.
Fresh, warm bread with butter! And all other SALTY things!
Food in general is my weakness! I love salty and savory things the most though. Oh, and cheese…I simply can not walk away!
Cheesecake….oh gosh, Ree’s blackberry cheesecake recipe is sooooo easy and so tasty….I gave up sweets for this lent season and guess what I’m gonna be doing the week after Good Friday…. 🙂
Chocolate malts are something I can’t resist.
Chips and fresh guacamole. YUMMY!
Bread. cookies, carbs.
My Mom’s Chocolate Ice Cream Cake Roll and a real Coke…these are my weaknesses!
My food weakness is anything buttery. Or salty. Or chocolatey. Or cheesy. Or…. I think I might have a problem 🙂
Chocolate Chip cookies – warm from the oven. Paired with a glass of milk and I can’t stop myself.
chicken piccata
Coffee cake drizzled with a white vanilla icing covered with walnuts and raisins!
Oooh – my weakness would have to be tortilla chips, or any kind of boxed salty cracker thing. One of the reasons I make so many of “storebought” things is I know that once I open the box I am unable to resist the call of the crunch!!! Knowing how time consuming some things I like to eat are, I don’t make them nearly as often!
My weakness is Dr. Pepper, chips & homemade garlic cream cheese dip, and peanut m&ms. I could live off these for days. Sigh…I wish I had them now!
Hmmm…food weakness? I have so many! I love my cup of coffee every morning, and lately I’ve been all about comfort food. Steak, mashed potatoes, polenta, and gravy. Lots of gravy!! I could go on all day!!
My weakness is brownies!! But if someone brings in something homemade I am weak for that too.
My current food weakness is Nutella…..love it on everything or just on a spoon 🙂
My food weakness is pasta, for sure! Thanks for the giveaway!
My weakness is chocolate!
Nachos are the one food that I could eat like crazy! You can have them so many different ways!
My biggest weakness are any pastry or anything deep fried or just in general, anything.
My food weakness? FOOD is my weakness! Especially home-made bakery, or chocolate, or a really good steak, or, well, you get the idea.
My weakness is cake! Any kind, made anyway!
My weakness has and will always be Potatoes in any form !!!! Luckily for me , my daughter takes after me 🙂
This is a wonderful giveaway and wish i get to win 🙂
My food weakness is probably pizza- you can always find room for one more slice. I’m also called out by my family for putting ranch on everything!
CHEESE! any kind of yummy scrumptious cheese, hard, soft, moldy, you name it, I’ll eat it!
Chocolate covered raisins are my absolute weakness!
My weakness is anything Ree makes because whether I watch her on her show or look at her website, whatever she is making, I want to make it too. I made her ‘Knock You Naked Brownies’ last weekend & they were delish!
Chocolate and caramel, of course.
I can never say no to chocolate layer cake, bacon, sourdough, or oreos. That’s why I have exactly none of these in my house.
My food weaknesses are definitely chocolate and ice cream!
My weakness is potatoes, any type, cooked anyway … add some cheese in there and I’m a goner!
Fresh bread hot out of the oven, slathered in butter….and chocolate chip cookies dripping w/hot chocolate chips
My last meal and my weakness is spaghetti with meatsauce – my jowls just locked up thinking about it! Love Ree – would love to have her book!
Donuts/doughnuts, sugar cookies, coffee cakes and/or strudels (anything layered with fruits, nuts and sugary, buttery pastry, really)…
Pretzel M&Ms!! Also milk and homemade chocolate chip cookies–keepin’ it classic.
I wish I had only one to list… but the main lifelong weakness is and always will be potato chips.
Any pasta with any cream sauce…I just can’t put down the fork!!
Pizza, Milk Chocolate, Peanut Butter-I could keep going-I have a lot of weaknesses!
My weaknesses in order are:
1) Sweet Tea
2) Chocoholic
2) Lay’s Baked Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles
Freshly baked crusty bread (preferably sourdough or country loaf) with butter. Yum!
Squeaky Finnish cheese still warm from the oven! Yum!
Apple pie! My grandmother used to let me eat a slice of breakfast when I visited. We had such amazing talks over apple pie at the breakfast table, just the two of us. Such sweet and yummy memories…
i cannot resist any form of chips and dip. and chocolate. preferably one followed by the other.
Diet Dr. Pepper , mocha caramel iced latte’s from Sonic, bread (especially cheesy bread), pasta, and chocolate. Yup that’s just a teeny tiny bit of them 😀
My weakness is bread and cheesecake and blue cheese….yummy!
Warm bread,butter and homemade jam!
My food weaknesses are fresh warm bread, and any kind of doughnut with glaze!
A good filet (and chardonnay).
Blue Bell Banana Pudding Ice Cream!
My weakness would have to be a good bowl of mashed potato’s or a grilled cheese sandwich.
