KitchenAid Artisan Giveaway… and a short mixer story

The fun continues!  There’s still time to enter this very cool Stella & Dot giveaway, but I have another one for you! 

Though I don’t use my stand mixer every day, it’s one of those appliances that I am so grateful to have.  Certain tasks are just infinitely easier with its help.  As a funny aside, I will tell you a short story about how I acquired a mint green KitchenAid…  

I was feeling a little down in the dumps after yet another failed in vitro attempt before finally becoming pregnant with my second son (after going through the same emotional process with my older son–for anyone struggling, have hope). For some time, I was regretting letting my grandmother’s old KitchenAid go to auction…that’s another story for another day!  I decided a shiny new model that matched the tile floor, which was sort of a rustic verdigris, would be just the thing to cheer me up.  My husband was ever-so understanding when I mentioned the lofty charge for this spur-of-the-moment purchase, and I have loved that mixer for so many reasons ever since.

Interestingly, I just read that a stand mixer is a poor choice to put on a wedding registry.  The thought was that people who are about to get married are likely not in their “forever” house and don’t know which of the many fabulous color choices may match–or not–their future kitchen.  I, for one, will say that I have moved since my purchase, and my mint green mixer doesn’t match my current kitchen, but I love it more now than I did then.  It even survived a thunderous crash when it careened off my kitchen counter while whipping on high speed.  (Note to self: Do not turn your head for a nanosecond when the mixer is whirling away at top speed.)  Anyway, the wood floor suffered a small dent, but the mixer was, shockingly,  no worse for the wear.  

So if you’ve been longing for a high-capacity, quality stand mixer but haven’t taken the leap, now is your chance.  I’ve joined with a wonderful group of bloggers to celebrate summer and help one lucky reader become the proud owner of a 5-quart KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer.  Good luck!

    My current mixer is vintage 1974. Although it has served me well, it’s time for an upgrade! Need one with kneeding capability as I have arthritis in my hands and it is painful to kneed dough.

    I would kike a artisan mixer because Im tired of kneading dough by hand and I heard the dough hook gets the job done, plus I’ve always had my eye on the artisan but I was never able to afford it.

    I want a KitchenAid mixer to make baking and mixing easier. I have inexpensive hand mixers and they always break after a few months. I need a mixer for baking and cooking weekly.
