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.

When doing holiday parties, I like to make everything. While I wouldn’t mind if guests did bring something, I’d prefer if they stuck to just a bottle of wine. That way they can come and relax and enjoy their time.
I absolutely love making everything myself.. Ok who am I kidding? I love being in control of what’s being served, and I hate asking people to bring stuff :)
But seriously, I love being able to have people come over & just enjoy themselves. All the trouble & pre-party stress is worth it as soon as all my friends & family arrive.
Nothing feels better than spending time with those you care about :)

I try to make all of it myself so if anyone does bring an item, it is just extra and not expected.

When hosting holiday parties,I make everything myself!
I prefer to cook everything myself that way I can show my creativity and Ii know that every dish complements each other and is served just the way I like it
I make everything myself for holiday parties. I like knowing that people are tasting food that I put time, effort and love into making.
I generally try to do an organized potluck to save money, and that way I know what everyone is bringing.
When I host holiday parties, I do more of a potluck affair where everyone brings something to share, but the things I make are always homemade. I’ve discovered some great dishes this way because my friends & family usually bring something I never would have thought of making.
It depends: for my annual “faculty party,” I provide everything myself. But for other parties, I ask friends to bring a dish.

I have masochistic, control-freak tendencies when it comes to parties, so I usually make everything myself and then miss most of my own party in the kitchen refilling/tending to the goods, lol :)
