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.

I love peanut butter. I cannot stop eating it. I only let myself buy the little to-go peanut butter cups so I portion it out. LOL. Whatever gives me some peanut butter.
My weakness would have to be mint chocolate anything.

Potato chips and dark chocolate, not necessarily together, but that would be good too!
That would be chocolate and dr. pepper. =)

My weakness is Motlen Chocolate Cake by Sweet Streets.
Red Velvet Cake and Guacamole, and YES, I will eat them together!!!!!!! Don’t tempt me!! lol
Fried chicken, eggplant parmesan and other dishes where cheese is a main ingredient, any dessert with condensed milk or mascarpone….the list is endless.
My weakness is everything Mexican! Thanks for hosting the giveaway, looove Ree and her recipes.
tacos. mexican/tex-mex in general, but I’m such a sucker for tacos it’s not even funny.

Chewy cookies – I don’t care what kind.. chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, this cookie monster will eat ’em all
Anything sweet is my first. Shrimp is a close second.
My food weakness is actually a beverage weakness…..coffee. I would drink a good latte any day before actually eating a meal of real food. Not good, luckily I dont replace meals with lattes too often!
BACON, BACON & YES, MORE BACON …. Oh geez even chocolate dipped bacon, yep I have an addiction 🙂
The little foil wrapped Reeses P-nut butter cups. Several come to bed with me each night along with whatever I am reading, oh the shame!
No matter what dessert is served at the end of a meal, I’m never done until I have a chunky chocolate chip cookie!!
Most things salty, savory, followed by chocolate.
Hmmm. Just one? I like salty savory things, but dark chocolate with sea salt is a close second (esp with a good glass of red wine 😉
French onion dip and chips. So, if we have chips and dip along with our hamburgers, you better serve yourself quick before I get to it! One container of dip is one serving, right? I would love Ree’s new cookbook. My hubby loves her recipes…uh, hum…my recipes, heehee. Thanks so much for doing this giveaway!
My food weakness is any kind of sweet bread pudding; it is my very favorite comfort food as my dad use to make it for dessert. I love trying different versions, but my dad’s recipe will always be the best..
