Gotta have it
I was given the Pink Artsian KitchenAid mixer for Christmas...well not really...I got a gift certificate and bought it myself. KitchenAid was donating $50 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, part of their Cook For The Cure program. I’ve wanted one of these mixers for a long time. When I saw the pink one, I knew I had to have it, not only because I love girlie pink stuff but because I fully support that cause. Isn’t she pretty?
I bought mine through amazon.com. Well, I didn’t know it at the time but if I had bought it on Amazon through FreePledge, I could have had another 5% of the cost donated to The SGK Foundation. With that 5% I could have donated an extra $15.00. That really makes a difference. Every dollar counts to help find a cure. FreePledge - Shop, Donate, Feel Goodhas over 150 retailers to choose from. I would have paid the exact same amount and my donation could have been $65 rather than $50.00. Now that I know about this great program, all of my future purchases will go through them. You should definitely check them out. (See link image below.)
So, back to the mixer. I can’t believe I waited so long to buy one of these. Years ago I had some Sears brand mixer and it was ok but there is simply no comparison. I like to make my own bread frequently...no not the machine kind...and this mixer saves a ton of kneading time. I get my bread that much faster using it. I am totally in love with this appliance.
If you don’t like pink, and shame on you if you don’t, they come in a ton of colours. Colour is a matter of appeal. I’m sure they all work equally as well. If you are in the market for a heavy duty mixer, you need a KitchenAid. It’s a little on the heavy side but I keep mine on the counter since I use it so much. The price might be a little daunting, but it is soooo worth it.
I love mine!
Anyway, if you want any new appliance or kitchen gadget, make sure to go to FreePledge and access your favourite merchant through them. You have the ability to pick your own charity and you won’t pay more. Now that’s just cool. I’ll post my favourite white bread and cinnamon bread recipes next week. I know you’ll love that!
