KitchenAid GIVEAWAY via USA Today Your Life Magazine
There’s a new publication that hit the stands today by USA Today, designed specifically for women.
It’s called Your Life: Guide to Women’s Health.
Christine Neff, from USA Today, wrote an excellent article in this fabulous magazine called, “Holiday Entertaining Made Easy!”
I’m honored that she included RE as part of the interview on each beautiful page of this feature.
Take a peek at these fabulous pages!
There are fantastic recipes, tips on bringing the outdoors in, simplifying during the holidays, staying sane and “putting perfections aside,” and most importantly, realizing the benefits of entertaining.
There are so many benefits to entertaining, the most obvious in my opinion being forging beautiful relationships!
Your Life is also full of good eats, tips, advice, and plenty of reminders that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Which brings us to our GIVEAWAY here today!
Do you own a stand mixer by KitchenAid? I think I’ve owned a couple in my 30 years of entertaining. I just wear them out, they’re used so much for baking, cooking, and canning. I tend to think of my KA as a friend, who I rely heavily upon. :)
Today in celebration of RE featured in USA Today, KitchenAid is giving away a 7-quart Stand Mixer. This product is brand new, so the winner will be one of the first to own it.
Here are the details (winner gets to choose between silver, black, or red):

Cooking for the Cure, presented by KitchenAid, reminds us that cooking with a purpose (and supporting the Cure) helps to bring an end to breast cancer in our lifetime.
Oh, how do I believe in this. My mom had breast cancer, and then ovarian cancer took her life. So cancer is fresh in our family and a reminder that we need to do all we can to help.

I like Kitchen Aid as well as the others, when we have family get togethers and holiday meals, everyone comes to our house and I normally do all the cooking. My kitchen aide is my BEST FRIEND, it out works any other product, I have ever had, and we fix alot of meals. Thank you Kitchen Aide. Next on my list is to get the noodle attachments, so I dont have to continue making them with out my kitchen aides help :)
I “like” USA Today Your Life on FB :-)

I have done both, recently it has been more of a potluck style, though
I like USA Today Your Life.
I tend to make everything myself. Only because we live several hours from family, so when they come for a visit, it’s difficult for them to bring something. Besides, I prefer to be in my kitchen and baking and cooking is my way of showing love.
PS I was a fan of Kitchen Aid on FB and they brought me here. I’ve also “liked” USA Today & Reluctant Entertainer. Which the name Reluctant Entertainer sounds like me. I don’t have the natural gift of hospitality, but I open up my home because it’s something that just isn’t done much these days & I want to cultivate close relationships.
I shared on Facebook!
i normally do not have a party at my house because i do not own a mixer. everything is bought. Please, i would love to own one!
Potluck, no doubt. Lots of food and I don’t have to make it all myself.
I posted this link on Facebook.
For most holidays, we do potluck though secretly, I like to do all of the cooking/baking myself. I love to cook and bake!
Shared the link to the giveaway on my Facebook :)
I shared the contest link on my own facebook page as well!!!! Thank you!! :)
Honestly, when I host parties, I do both. There are some times where I feel that doing the whole thing on my own is going to make for the best party. Other times, for instance Christmas gift exchanges, I think are made better when everyone can contribute their own “special” recipe to the party.
I posted on my blog about winning the kitchenaid! Thanks! :)

With having big extended families on both sides, usually the hostess supplies the main dish, for us usually some type of meat like the ham or the turkey, and then all the other family members bring side dishes. My favorite side dish, if you can call it that, comes from my dad’s side. His sister makes the best filled cupcakes thanks to her Kitchen Aid mixer. I recently finished college, got engaged and in the process of purchasing a house. A KitchenAid mixer would look great on my new countertop since the only gift I’m asking for at my shower is for all of my aunts to create a recipe book of their favorites for me. I enjoy cooking and a KitchenAid mixer would definitely come in handy!
Thanks so much! :)
