Meet my new KitchenAid Mixer, thankyou matchbox.com.au – and your chance to win one too!

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife December 14, 2011September 11, 2018
December 14, 2011September 11, 2018

Recently I published a post hinting to my hubby that I would LOVE a KitchenAid mixer for Christmas and how gorgeous the new KitchenAid Platinum edition colours are.  

Matchbox.com.au saw my plee and they ever so kindly have played Santa to this little blogger and gifted me a KitchenAid Platinum ‘Raspberry Ice’ Mixer.  I was beyond shocked and squealed with excitement when they contacted me, I am so very grateful for to matchbox.com.au.  Matchbox.com.au have made me a very happy blogger!  

Writing this blog and managing the facebook page takes a lot of time and at stages through this year there has been some tears, as I struggle to keep up with my emails and needing to find a happy balance between blogging and family.  To receive this is a wonderful reward for all my efforts.  I enjoy writing and sharing photo’s of how I organise around my home and I look forward to continuing through 2012!!

Full details of giveaway HERE 

Find some retro inspiration from Super Kawaii Mama, she is glamorous, beautiful and dresses ooh so elegantly vintage.  I am sure you will find some great tips on Candice’s blog.

Meet my KitchenAid Mixer

I love baking, I have always been a happy to bake from scratch.  Baking with my kids has been a great experience, it a wonderful way to spend time together and also educates them on weight and fractions.

Look… I’m sharing!!!!

 

 

I received it on Friday and so far I have made a banana cake, pavlova, quiche, raspberry muffins and a banana and pecan loaf.  Will share recipes soon, but here is a peak….

So far each recipe has been absolutely beautiful, with the standout being the icing for the banana cake, it was not grainy or lumpy and was so silky.  I’m glad that I have a spot for it on my bench as it is very heavy, which is perfect as I know when I am cooking and turn my back it won’t move.  To my amazement the bowl is very light, to the eye it appears to be heavy, KitchenAid have worked their magic to make it a perfect weight, so it makes pouring a cake into the tin quiet easy.

Do you think you could bring that in your suitcase to Kuala Lumpur and give to me?!! Hehe. Do you know, I’ve been mixing with a no brand mini hand mixer for nearly 20 years now – well, I’ve gone through about 5 of them in that time because they keep blowing up. I’m dreaming of one of these for our kitchen one day. How awesome Kat!

Hi Katrina, love reading your blog 🙂
Just wondering if you were still in love with the Kitchenaid? I’ve just returned my second Breville Kitchen Wizz mixer (should have bought the Kitchenaid I wanted in the first place!) and just wanted to see if you were still happy with it?
Thanks!
Kerry

In all honesty though, I have a lot of boxes I like ticked when picking the perfect vacuum cleaner. Visit the link in my bio to see if Miele’s first handstick vacuum managed to tick all these boxes for me!

My day has consisted of a moment of binge watching My day has consisted of a moment of binge watching Firefly Lane. Then running kids around. 

I’m putting a candle on to sit for a moment. Then it involves more mums taxi. I’ll cherish these moments though cause they will stop soon enough. Then what am I going to do when I’m not running kids around? Ooh the thought 🤪
White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies 🍪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This recipe was contributed by Tracey (a lovely member of our community!). She suggests using an ice cream scoop to shape the cookies, which should give them a lovely rippled texture on top. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The base recipe without the white chocolate and cranberries can be used for any alternative ingredients like dark choc bits and macadamias. The full recipe is on my blog! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

PS - I would suggest adjusting the sugar quantities to your own tastes if you prefer cookies to be less sweet! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
