A little PINK in the kitchen :)

Drumroll please.....

This weekend I was over the moon excited to buy my new mixer-a PINK Kitchen Aid handheld. It's beautiful, lightweight, quiet, and splatter free. If it's possible to be in love with a kitchen appliance, then call me cupid ;).

My new mixer was an unexpected blessing to me. After my old mixer kicked the bucket, we started looking around for new ones in the "under $20" mindset. Just for fun, I really got into researching all of these kitchen appliances, and then I saw it...the pink "cook for the cure" mixer by KitchenAid. Of course I was a bit starstruck by the infamous KitchenAid name...add to that the o-so-cute pink color and I was a goner. While I had made my peace with Hamilton Beach, I secretly started to dare I say covet the pink KitchenAid. After all, I do use a mixer ALL THE TIME. But, it was a lot of money- much more than I would normally spend on a mixer(but not as much as those super expensive stand mixers, whew!). Maybe later, but now I thought, we'll stick with Walmart/Target.

And so after I had resolved to part ways with the idea of pink, my queen fairy mommy decided to surprise us with some unexpected cash, just for the mixer she said. How sweet a surprise it was! I was giddy with excitement on our way to Bed, Bath and Beyond, and just LOVE my new kitchen helper. As far as I can tell, it totally lives up to the name. Plus, it goes perfectly with my Pink apron and measuring cups I got for Christmas :) Who knew Kitchen appliances could be this exciting! Thank you Lord, for a wonderful kitchen to enjoy and for pretty pink and quality tools to cook with!

PS-In case you were wondering, that's just a smaller bowl above. My batter usually doesn't look like it's about to erupt over the sides, lol. Although, there's no such thing as too much batter...
