Pretty Up your Kitchen Aid

I've been noticing around the web, pretty Kichen Aid Mixers. Hmmm....how'd they do that? You can buy decals, specifically for your mixer! WOW! It does look very nice, but with the price tag, they are out of my budget.

With my ever creative mind I thought, "I could go to the Dollar Store and get some of their vinyl decals, but I want it now!" (like I generally do..instant gratification) I got all my stickers out, which is a vast collection, and found the perfect ones! So, I went to work placing them on my mixer where I thought they would look best, and wah lah! I love it! And just think of the possibilities, switching them out whenever you felt like it! (and with me, that might be often)

So, here's a picture of mine, followed by a link to get more ideas:

Off to the kitchen to use my prettied up mixer now!

Batch Cooking, and Mix Making Day!

I like to have things ready for a quick dinner. You know, the nights you don't feel like cooking, or you are to busy. Eating out isn't an option for someone who lives 45 minutes from the nearest restaurant, which is really a good thing.....fast food....YUCK!

I also like to cook from scratch. Americans think we have a huge selection of foods available, but did you know most of the "inner aisles " at the grocery store are not even food..NO FOOD in the product? TRUE.....a lot of it is man made, chemical laden food "product". There is an awesome movie "Food, Inc" that will enlighten your views on food. It's available on Amazon Prime, rental, and is also a book.

Here are a few things I've made this AM, later I will turn a big ol' package of ground beef into precooked taco meat, precooked sloppy joes, hamburger patties, and meatballs. That way, come dinner time, this lady is ready for a 5 minute meal! OH YES!
