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.

Hello and welcome to my home and table!
I’m Sandy—lover of food, family, cooking, THE BIG BOARD, travel, and bringing people together. Through great recipes and connection around the table, we become better, stronger, and more courageous people. Feasting on Life is real, and every time we do it, we grow a little more. Read more...
I host a community “Flour Fling” at my son’s cafe. We provide the mixers, the bowls, other cooking tools and basic pantry ingredients. We also provide wine and things to snack on.
Community members bring their favorite recipes and specialty ingredients. We bake and decorate almost 1000 cookies, which we then share and make plates for the local Border Patrol and first responders.
At the end of the day we are exhausted, full of sugar, and very happy. It is a great way to share.

I am currently a full-time student, but was a professional baker for years. I’m not much of a cook, though, so at my parties it’s always a mix of my from-scratch goodies and hors doeuvres, and potluck from friends. My Kitchen Aid mixer is the single most important piece of counter-top equipment in my kitchen.
With the Holidays coming up, a second mixer would be a godsend! So many cookies, so little time.

I do both, with the help from my KitchenAid products they make it a lot easier. Thanks for making good quality products! I also liked KitchenAid’s Facebook a long time ago.
Usually make all the food being the control freak that I am…but starting to think it will be a lot easier on me if I let others pitch in!

I usually do all the work myself since my friends don’t bake. Exhausting but satisfying. :)

The raspberry ice mixer is gorgeous, but I LOVE my Empire Red mixer!
and usually I cook everything – but I let others help!
I always make everything myself. And then I spend more time cooking, serving and cleaning than having fun. Someday I’d love to have the money to have a party catered.
