A few weeks back, in early November, my friend Jennifer and I made a huge mess in my kitchen. Flour was everywhere as we embarked on a cinnamon roll escapade of sorts with The Pioneer Woman Cooks as our guide.
Our plan was to make a bunch to freeze for Christmas parties and such. Four batches later, and a light dusting of flour on every surface in a four mile radius, we completed the task.
And now that the Christmas season is upon us, the cinnamon rolls have come in mighty handy. And yum? Oh yes. Yum indeed. The Pioneer Woman knows a thing or two about cinnamon rolls. Not to mention some other tasty grub.
That book is somethin’ else.
And The Pioneer Woman Cooks is not just a cookbook. No sirree!
It’s got purty pictures of all sorts of animals and people, and stories all throughout to keep ya laughin’ and smilin’ for sure. It’s a real page turner.
Where else can you find a recipe for lasagna…
And cute hunky cowboy pictures too?
Ree, The Pioneer Woman, is nearing the end of her book signing tour for The Pioneer Woman Cooks, which has topped several bestseller lists. So in celebration of her successful book tour, (and ’cause she’s so sweet and generous), 10 copies (that’s 10, T-E-N) of The Pioneer Woman Cooks will be up for grabs.
Ten.
(That would be ten separate winners.)
All you have to do to enter is answer a question.
In honor of the pioneer way and horses and horse poop and other horse things, here’s the question…
If you had a horse what would you name it and if you could ride it anywhere – anywhere on earth – where would that be?
Answer the question (only one entry per person) and you’ll be entered to win. You have until Wednesday, December 16 at Midnight PST. Winners will be announced Thursday, December 17 sometime after I get back from riding my nonexistent horse. Be sure to check back to see if you’ve won and if you did to claim your prize.
Merry Christmas everybody!
I would name the horse black beauty, since that was one of my favorite books as a kid, and I would ride it along the pacific ocean!
I’d go back to the name that I always wanted to give my horse (if I had one) way back when I was in Elementary school….Cinnamon! And there’s no better place to ride than right here where I live, in the prairies!
What am I doing up so late except waiting for you to post a giveaway? Thanks, now I can go to bed :-).
If I had a horse I think her name would be Belle; I would ride her at a full trot through a field of daises in Texas that stretches for miles and miles. Then I would need an air conditioned four wheel drive vehicle to come pick me up because I’ve never ridden a horse and I’m sure I would be too sore to ride Belle back to the barn. Somebody else would have to take the saddle back to the stall. ~Martha
p.s., what would you name your horse and where would you ride her?
I’d name him Billy after an old gray quarter horse we kids had while growing up. As to where??? Why, off into the sunset, of course!
My horse would be named Waffles, and I’d ride him wherever I darn well felt like it 🙂
Funny, just yesterday I was just thinking of what I’d name my dog if I got one… So if I had a horse, I’d name it Vanilla if it were black, chocolate if it were brown and sugar if it were white. Gosh I feel like such a dork now. And where would I ride it? Dreamy French countryside… Aaah! You just made my dream while wide awake.
If you had a horse what would you name it and if you could ride it anywhere – anywhere on earth – where would that be?
I would name it Constitution and I would ride it to Washington DC so he could poop on Congress. You know, kind of return the favor.
I hope to have a horse one day! I already have a name picked out – Willoughby. I’m not sure why I picked it, it just seems like a good horse name, even though Willoughby in Sense and Sensibility was a bit of a cad.
I’d ride him everywhere!
I think mt horse’s name would depend a lot on its coloring and personality, but I like the name Biscuit 🙂 I’d ride it right where I live, the Arizonan desert (almost spelled dessert ;)).
Great giveaway! I’d name the horse Mr.Ed. Too bad horses can’t really talk… I definitely would ride the horse on the beautiful beaches of the Dominican Republic.
We always named our horses based on their personalities and color…..always wished that we had one that the name Pumpkin would have fit! My favorite place to ride has always been my great-grandparents ranch in Texas….where the sky and land goes on forever!
i was just reading up on this cookbook, i would love to win this.
as for my answer, i would name the horse Pikestar and we would go to all the places Diane Lane’s character in the movie “Under the Tuscan Sun” went to. I am actually excited just thinking about it 🙂
I always liked watching Mr. Ed so I will name my horse that and ride him on the beach, in Hawaii.
Aren’t those cinnamon rolls to die for? I don’t know why I put them in the freezer. They only stay there three days max.
I would name my horse Smokey after a horse my uncle had when I was little. I was always petrified of that horse. I would learn to love him this time. Where would be a tough question. I have three places that I’d love to visit: The Grand Canyon, Italy or any beach on a tropical island.
Thanks!
Great Giveaway.
Horses ^_^
My horse would be a dark chocolate color named Chestnut. & I would ride it along the Atlantic Ocean along the Northeast.
My horse would be dark brown with a white patch on his forehead. His name would be Solomon and we would ride the trails along Grand Teton National Park or in Yellowstone National Park.
My horse would be sweet caramel color with a dark brown mane. His name would be Soul and I would ride him everyday on the warm beaches of South Carolina. Specifically Folly and Edisto Beaches. Ahhh…
My horse would be named Winchester, but I would affectionately call him “Whinny” as I stroked his nose and fed him apples and carrots from my hand. I would ride him all over South Carolina because we’ve got beaches but also mountain trails to explore.
Hmmm, never thought about a horse name before. I had a plastic horse when I was young that I adored. It’s name was Cochise. Not sure of the spelling, but you get the idea. I would definitely ride my horse on miles and miles of ocean beachscape. That’s on my bucket list if you must know. Someday, it’ll happen.
I would name him Big Brown Horse. And would ride him through the woods and down the beach and on Pioneer Woman’s ranch.
