Last updated on July 15th, 2013
LAST WEEK, when my partner and I visited Charleston, West Virginia, we stayed at the drop-dead gorgeous home of our new friends Gary and Gary. I found it hard to believe that Gary-x-2 are not cooks. For on their kitchen counter was a Kitchen Aid standing mixer in a glowing shade of tangerine. That colorful mixer, or at least the new one I felt compelled to purchase the moment I arrived home, is the subject of this week’s random drawing.
I use my own Kitchen Aid mixer (a basic-black model) for simplifying all kinds of dishes. For instance…
Pain de Mie. The standing mixer, which comes with a dough hook, kneads the ingredients for this beautiful, buttery, easy-to-slice French Sandwich Bread in just minutes. Here’s the recipe.
Raised Doughnuts with Orange Cognac Glaze. Wanna make these adults-only doughnuts? The standing mixer will do almost all of the work for you. Have a look.
Souffles. Need to whip egg whites for souffles both savory and sweet? The mixer will beat those whites to stiff peaks in only seconds, as proved in my recipe for this so-delicious-you-will-swoon Strawberry Souffle.
Queen Victoria Cake. This easy but elegant tea-time dessert is composed of layers of sponge cake, with great gobs of whipped cream spread between. The mixer’s whisking attachment will accomplish hands-free whipping in the time it takes you to dash off a nasty email to your ex-boyfriend. The recipe.
Decadent Cream Cheese Frosting. And I do mean decadent. This lusciousness contains butter, cream cheese and Cointreau (an orange-liqueur), all blended to fluffy perfection with the standing mixer’s paddle attachment. I dare you to read the recipe.
Chocolate Layer Cake with Milk Chocolate Frosting. The paddle attachment will also cream butter, sugar, and (gasp!) molten chocolate for this perfect-for-a-birthday-party dessert. My step-by-step instructions.

Summer plans are somewhat pedestrian for me – keep the clocks wound and the garden watered. People think of the Pacific Northwest as being so wet, but we actually suffer terrible drought in the summer months. With many new things planted this past Spring, i’ll need to keep of top of the watering.
Oh, and there are new ukuleles to play!
Music and a garden. What more to we need really (save for a standing mixer). 🙂
Jeffrey Hernandez says
I’m interested in the Kitchen Aid Standing Mixture. It’d be a lot handier than the hand mixer I use. Thanks for all the interesting articles. I enjoy the garden stuff the most though.
Barbara Howitt says
Today is my birthday. I would love to whip up cakes to share . . .

Love your site Kevin. Pick me!

Heading to Kentucky this month to celebrate a friends 40th birthday. Spending lots of time in my yard tending my gardens. Love all the flowers and hummingbirds in my yard in Ohio. Towards the end of Summer we will head to Traverse City, MI. and cross a hot air balloon ride off the bucket list. What a fantastic Summer!! Would love the mixer. Such a great color. I could make lots of yummy things if I win.
Kelly McCoy says
Love your website, Kevin! You are so talented and an inspiration! Enjoy your summer! 🙂
Christina liebler says
Tangerine is my favorite color! Think I would start off mixing up a batch of that French bread you have pictured. Bread just makes life better and yours looks delicious. Happy summer my friend!
Louise Brouillette says
We are leaving for a Kenyan safari with our 13 year old grandsons in two weeks. It will my our 3rd trip to Kenya but the first for the boys–we’re all very excited!

Janet Evancho says
I intend to enjoy a glorious summer with my new boyfriend, Dale, and my new chickens: Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart and Florence Nightingale, and my four new raised garden beds and TEN new varieties of heirloom tomatoes which are growing like weeds. Next weekend we are heading to the Wallace Blues Festival in beautiful, historic Wallace, Idaho–nestled in the mountains near the Montana border. (Kevin, you and your partner should put it on your list! If you haven’t experienced the magnificent Pacific Northwest, you gotta come and visit! My chickens will lay fresh eggs for you and I will cook you something fabulous right from my garden.) I never owned a KitchenAid mixer and would love to have one of my very own!
Walt says
Orange has been my favorite color since before I painted my entire room (except for the black light poster wall) the color of that mixer. That is the orange 69 Camaro of cookery. I WANT IT!
Pam H says
What a generous give away…thank you so much! I will be spending my summer doing what I wait for all winter long…watching my flowers grow and bloom 🙂
Sara says
Happy 4th! Love your blog!

Tangerine Dream!
karen says
What a wonderful mixer, I have always wanted a Kitchenaid as they originated from the town I live in but could never afford one…This would be such a happy blessing at home in my kitchen! And I agree with Diane B. I would love to make all of the recipes you have posted here. Everyone have a Happy and safe Fourth of July!
Karin Loren says
What a lovely shade of orange this mixer is. Summer plans? Nothing big so far. Just hiking hiking hiking.
Rhoda says
Boo…I have none!
Yvonne says
Kevin I think I gained five pounds just reading this post! I would love to have the Kitchen Aid Standing Mixer as I my hands can no longer hold a spoon to mix batter (carpal tunnel & trigger fingers). We always stay home (Pacific NW Coast) and fish (Coho Salmon, Dungeness Crab and Prawns) during the summer. Thank you once again for the opportunity to win something beautiful for the kitchen,
Beth Thomerson says
Summer plans? Looking to try some new and different ice cream and cake recipes, not to mention getting a handle on our out of control gardens. Adore your website and you joie de vivre!
Sharon says
The mixer is awesome and would fit in my kitchen just fine. Thank you for sharing all your great wisdom with everything, I have learned so much and I have shared your posts so many times.
MaryAnn Quinn says
Kevin, you are so generous! I always say, what goes around comes around. I’m using my grandmother’s hand mixer out of the late 1960’s, can you believe that?
Donna S. says
Ooooooooo–clappity-clap-clap!!! I do so love this website. Thank you, Kevin!
Kim C. says
That tangerine mixer would rock it in my kitchen.
KimH says
Im planning on going to Texas to see my 2 granddaughtes.. One is 4 & the other 5 months. Im looking forward to seeing those sweet little babes… and my all grown up babe too. 🙂
Mary Howe says
Just enjoying the fact you don’t have to wear a coat. I would love to win this beautiful mixer, my kitchen aid is on its last leg.
Paula says
Oh Boy – so generous Kevin!!! I’m sure everyone is salivating over your delicious goodies as much as the mixer! Would love, love, love this mixer – help me keep up on goodies with 5 kids running around!! Thanks for everything you do!!
Kathy says
Oh how I would love that mixer! Mine burned up this winter while I was using the grater attachment to grate carrots for a birthday carrot cake. 🙁 And the nearest authorized repair shop is an hour away! I was SO disappointed!
I have to be ready for all that zuchini when it comes in, and we need to make a quadruple batch of relish this year. Whew!
And as for the vacation plans…we are headed to Sequim, WA this month for the Sequim lavender festival!! I am SO excited!! I am sure I will be shipping few things home (we will be flying). I found this event via a photo on Pinterest that I followed all the links on, and lo and behold, there it was. Serendipity. Lavendar, WA state, and this will be the first vacation without the kids EVER (yes, they’re grown now 🙂 ) as well as our 30th anniversary. Go us! Ha ha!!
Looking forward to seeing and reading more of your posts on your blog and Facebook! I have saved and used so much info from your blog! You are amazing!! Thank you again for all you share with us!!
Heidi K Owens Hart. says
Your baked goods look absolutely amazing. I am now craving something sweet!
Micron the Cat says
Well, I dunno about you, but I just don’t understand folks who don’t like cooking. 🙁
Lisa F says
Summer plans involve cutting grass apparently. We have had so much rain that it seems like we are cutting it in less than a week. Other than that, nothing great planned as husband just got rehired back on his job and he won’t be able to take a vacation until this winter….brrrrr!
Love the tangerine color and it would look great with my black kitchen cabinets!
Cindy Myers says
Hot Damn! I love this and need this!
Joan says
A happy 4th to you! I enjoy your recipes, gardening advice and decorating ideas, and the occasional glimpse of Lily the beagle always makes my day.
Carol says
I need a stand mixer soooo bad!!!
Marjean says
Puttering in the garden is about all I have planned for the summer. We’re changing over a large portion of the veggie space to raised beds this year. At the moment, we’re not-so-patiently waiting for the first tomatoes and cucumbers while watching the Ambrosia muskmelon and Sugar Baby watermelon for successfully pollinated baby melons. We finally had our first heat wave this week and everything has decided it will grow after all this year!
My stand mixer is on its last legs and tangerine orange is up there on my list of favorite colors. Thanks so much for offering such wonderful gifts, Kevin!
Mary says
My mixer has had a number of repairs, and while using it weekly to make butter (from a local farm’s raw milk), it makes such a high-pitched whine, it is hard to stay in the room with it! A replacement is in order!!
Margaret says
That beautiful Tangerine color gives me a heart ache.. My husband was a painter and I once remarked that I didn’t like orange.. He was startled and said, “How on earth can you not like orange?” He made beautiful paintings with bits of orange in them over the years..
He passed away in 2000, and I realised a few years later that I just LOVED orange, and had loved it for years!
And funny enough, our daughter and I have been searching for a KitchenAid mixer for the past week!
When I saw your post I almost plotzed! Your page has been fun to follow, but this is ridiculously fun.. Whoever wins it, good on you!
Amanda Wiersma says
My trusty red kitchen aid has seen better days and I would surely use the junk out of a new one! 🙂
Betty Blalock says
Excited that my daughter is taking me to St Petersburg, FL this month. I would love to be able to make dough in a mixer when I get home. Have never had a dough hook. Those recipes escape me.
Kevin Van Raden says
NIce Mixer!!!!
Lea Shelton says
A tangerine Kitchen Aid mixer would be just a perfect addition to my soon to be reprinted aqua kitchen!!
Scott Trudell says
My plans for the summer include searching for a new job. The greenhouse I’ve worked at for the past 15 years is closing!! Aside from that…. I’m sure I’ll be working in the garden a lot. Putting in a new pea gravel path through my shade garden… Pruning roses… Deadheading… Watering and fertilizing… And probably whipping up at least a few fabulous summer desserts. And while my old Kitchen Aid more than does the job… A new shiny model would be oh so fabulous!
Denise in NJ says
No summer vacation plans here. Too busy tending to my garden.
Teresa says
I would love to win ! Enjoy the 4th of July ! God Bless America!!

gloria says
Ahhh!! My kitchen is in tangerine.
Jen Cone says
I’ve always dreamed of having one of these, and all I could make with it as well!
Mark Boberick says
I would like nothing more than to present the Kitchen Aid to the folks at Equality House in Topeka to allow them to feed the growing number of visitors dropping by to see the wonderful things they are doing to promote peace and equality.
Leslie says
No vacation for me this summer. My family and I are moving across the country and that will be more than enough adventure for one summer.
Francine says
Hi Kevin! You are such a generous soul – and full of surprises! Not only would the mixer make a great birthday present (yes, my birthday is July 4th!), but it would give me incentive to try all those recipes I keep cutting out of the newspaper and magazines, and yours, of course! Thanks again for being such a treasure.
Jackie Lehr says
Tangerine!

Laurie Jimenez says
You blog is so beautiful and always entertaining. You are the consummate host, offering light refreshments that are to die for as we stroll along the gardens. I enjoy reading /viewing them and felt put very much at home. Thanks so much!
Larry Doyle says
Other than trying to pull these weeds between rain (storms every day for over a week–wasn’t there a drought last year), my summer plan is to make great-grandmother’s homemade custard ice cream. Bought grass-fed whole milk at the farmers market last week to try in it. What to have it with, though?
Sarah M. says
I can’t wait to use the cream cheese frosting recipe! I love to make homemade cakes for every occasion. 🙂
Zola says
Love to have one of course—Maybe for my Birthday, next week
The color is one I’ve not seen—Smashing Color
Linda Prater says
Would love the mixer to make all those goodies. Enjoy your pages and look forward to your emails.
Winnie says
What a wonderful give away! You are so generous! Glad you enjoyed your Charleston trip! We live along the Assawoman Bay by Fenwick Island, DE and already traffic is horrific with tourist coming in for the 4th. It’s never boring here and we enjoy it year round. We have The Freeman Stage just half a mile away and have concerts. Some are free but with the big name famous entertainers of course we gladly pay. I am blessed to live here and have many fond memories of our beach before it was discovered. We lived just 8 miles away, but still rented a cottage for part of the summers. My husband made my dream of living here full time come true and I’m glad he loves it too!
Kirstie says
Most of my summer will be devoted to my gardening however my daughter and I will be heading to the Binghamton area for a mini camping trip. With the rain it may turn into a canoe trip though!
I am hoping to get some canning done too!
Sandy Reynolds says
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! The recipes are to die for….. the mixer would make it soooo easy to whip them up!!
Rosiland Ball says
Would love to have this for mixing cookie doughs at the holidays!
Dielle says
Such lovely treats you showcased!
For summer we have a few trips planned, with lots of lazy time in the middle.
Laura G says
Oh my! I love your blog posts and your recipes. I have tried a few and they have been as tasty as described. Thank you. I would love to win this mixer. As far as our summer plans – we love to travel to visit family.
Martha Robinson says
I love reading your newsletter, and have learned so much from you. Mostly, you inspire me to enjoy life and celebrate beauty and if all else fails, pour a double gin and tonic and have a good laugh. Thank you for everything you put into this.
Brenda Johnson says
I missed you… and you missed my birthday (well- you came home on it…) so you owe me a sweet treat!!! 🙂
Becky says
Vacation, hmmm. So hot where I am, would love some time at the beach. Maybe we can swing some time at our favorite spot on the central coast of California, Pismo Beach!!!
Rebecca Wright says
I already own a Kitchen Aid stand mixer (red, of course) and I love, love, love it! My dear friends are getting married in the fall, and wouldn’t a brand new tangerine mixer make a perfect wedding gift?
Lora M says
It is such a joy to peruse your site. Thank you for all the neat ideas, beautiful pictures, and wonderful recipes.
MoLiver4u says
I think it’s almost impossible to bake without a stand mixer! They are imperative for all kinds of dough and batter manipulation! Love the photo tour of all your stand mixer creations!!!
Judi Kelly says
Holy Cow! What wonderful things I could conjure up> 🙂
Lisa says
Summer time is busy time. I just put in some new garden beds for my daughter and son in law. Planted clematis, blackberry lilies, red lilies, peony, coreopsis, creeping thyme and flax. I started working for one of my neighbors, weeding and dividing plants in her garden. Taking the grandkids camping for their first time, going to Newport with my daughters and possibly a trip to California to visit my other daughter. Whew, and in between all that, I will be tending my tomatoes, onions, eggplant, cucumbers and squash. Thanks for the giveaway! Have a great day!
Rebecca J says
If I had a mixer to go along with the handy dandy bread pan I recently purchased (thank you for the suggestion) I may, somehow, begin the path towards (gulp) learning to cook. Then one day my dinner will consist of more than Oreos.
Summer plans are backpacking in the Sierras and camping in the desert. Love summertime fun!
clanross says
I have always wanted one of these, but the $ has never come together just right. I use a cheap hand mixer now and a stand mixer would be such a help. Any color. I’ll paint the kitchen. 😉
Sandy Staples says
Orange is my great grandson, Nolan’s favorite color. I can imagine what he would say if I had that tangerine mixer in my kitchen. Am helping my son recuperate from knee surgery–he appreciates a mother who is a retired nurse. Look forward to your blogs every Sunday.
Kara says
Never had one. But certainly put one to good use. Love all your posts.
Thanks for always entertaining.
Paula Van Derven says
I wish I had this. I just finished baking mini cupcakes to create a flag cupcake cake to bring to the 4th of July potluck tomorrow. And, baking on a day when it is 113 degrees would have been so much faster with a new stand mixer.
My summer plans include dreaming of places I wish I could be and redoing my guest bedroom to resemble a beach cottage.
Hoping I win! 🙂
Trisha King says
Your blog and site are my get away, I lock the door and read everything. I have tried several recipes, so far the English Muffin bread is a favorite. I use a kitchen aid, but I do not remember when it was purchased its been a good work horse, but a new tangerine one would really perk up the counter top!
Kay Crichton says
We are planning to visit old friends in San Francisco in August. Till then I am just fighting the rabbits for the radishes and the slugs for the lettuce.
Cathy F says
Going on a tour led by a gardener Paul Parent of Maine to Vancouver, BC, Victoria and Butchart Gardens, and on to Alaska. …rest of time working on volunteer gardens and Cornell vegetable variety trials. ..

I love the color of this mixer! I would love to have it in my kitchen. I really love cooking for my family and can’t wait to try some of your wonderful recipes!
Robert Meehan says
Thanks for all the tips and encouragement here. Not having a great summer so far. Not much time for the plants and the weather has been wet. This mixer would be a great addition for this fall when I’ll get back into baking more. Looking for those pullman bread pans now. 😉
Patty says
Tangerine…….What flavor is yours? That’s from a commercial from long ago! :). That brings a smile to my heavy heart……I’m from AZ and can’t believe we lost so many brave firemen this past week. God bless their families and send a prayer their way tonight!
Cara Stamp says
Off to Greek Islands to celebrate our 25th Anniversary!! I can finally take this off my ‘Bucket List’
Caitilin says
Made Pan de Mie again yesterday! I do it all by hand. Was dreaming of a standing mixer as I worked butter into dough with my aching hands!
I’ll still make Pan de Mie by hand, if I have to, though. Yummy stuff!
Linda P. Strangio says
Hi Kevin, Your desserts look scrumptious! My blackberries are dark, juicy, and plump this year. I’m suiting up and attacking the berry brair patch tomorrow moring. Have a safe and joyous 4th! Happy trails always, Linda

Wow! What an awesome giveaway. I recently started following your site because of all the gardening info, but this mixer would be very welcome in my home. Thank’s Kevin, have a great 4th!
Patti Martin says
I’ve wanted a KitchenAid mixer for many years and would be thrilled with any color…..even basic black! What a delight it is to share in your adventures……. I believe we all feel as though we know you. Thank you so much for all you bring to our lives.
Mary Frances says
Oh to have my own marvellous mixing machine………..I have to borrow my daughters one.

Dottie says
Really enjoy your site. It always makes me feel peaceful and relaxed….and hungry. Keep up the good work!
Erin says
Oh, the things I would do with a tangerine stand mixer. About 50% of them would be recipes you have posted. 😉 I have been enjoying 2013 – Iowa’s mercurial summer.
Cary says
Pictures of the Garys’ home? 🙂 Happy 4th dear Kevin! Welcome home. 🙂
Lisa says
Tangerine is my favorite color! I love your blog, too.
Jo says
Zucchini and Squash Oh my….. flowing in abundance out of my garden. Love fresh veggies that are not grown somewhere else that I don’t know where they come from. And the green beans are over flowing with blooms! Tomatoes and peppers are beautiful. Can you say Fried Green Tomatoes! 🙂
Claire says
I have an older model white Kitchen Aid and LOVE it. Would love to upgrade. I could easily use 2 at one time. We have been blessed this season with lots of rain so the garden is keeping us busy in the kitchen.
Melinda S. says
Tangerine! I love it. And each of those recipes are ones I must try as the occasion arises. Happy gardening!
Heidi Haas says
I look forward to your blog postings every week…I wish I was as organized and talented at cooking and gardening.
I am spending the summer attempting to help my poor dog (Chewbacca) recover from a severe bout of separation anxiety. He has literally eaten chunks out of my fridge! I am currently making do w/ a small mini-fridge locked in the front hallway. As he also learned to break into the cupboards, dry goods also being kept to a minimum.
Happily we seem to be making great progress, however, I have a lot of free space on my counter now, and this mixer would fit right in! 🙂
Karen K says
Would love to mix with Tangerine mixer! My summer plans are spilling over into September when I will do a one week silent retreat. Before then I will hike, attempting to get into better shape.
Susan says
It’s ‘7am but all I want right now is a cup of coffee and a big hunk of your Chocolate Layer Cake with Milk Chocolate Frosting! I am new to your site within the last month and am inspired. Of course I might be even more inspired with a new stand mixer on my counter.
Time to dig into that 10 pound box of fresh blueberries taking up room there first.
Happy 4th of July!!
kathy says
I have always wanted a kitchen aid mixer but if I win I would give it to my daughter. She is getting married July 13 and this would be perfect in her new house.
Beth Stoneking says
I would love to win! Love all of your photos, recipes and garden tips. Thanks for all you post, really inspiring.
Madeleine L says
What a lovely gift this would be. Happy July 4th Kevin!
Donna says
Happy 4th of July Kevin Love ur site… Blessings……
Katrat says
This is the 2nd most important small appliance to have in the kitchen and I would love to give one to my daughter to use for her family. It would look so nice on her counter and compliment her orange walls. Happy 4th!
KT Lowe says
I usually make fantabulous marjolaine, except for this one time. I recently took a job in Northern Michigan. While I was prepared to order my favorite go-to cooking ingredients (porcini salt, Cluizel 62% baking pastilles, Edmond Faillot walnut dijon mustard), I was not prepared for the huge differences in cooking time and temperature from my old home downstate. My meringue whipped up, sort of (it was a humid day and I had no mixer), and when I went to bake it, I ended up with a gummy, burnt mess. I salvaged enough of it for the marjolaine, and my coworkers said they liked it… but they’ve never tried it at my best.
elizabeth heelan says
This post just made me very hungry!! All those beautiful baked goods!!! Mm mm mm mm.
Donna Cota says
Would love to win this absolutely amazing mixer since it would make my baked Christmas Gifts much easier to prepare. Thanks and have a glorious summer!
Maren says
Happy 4th, love your site. If I don’t win an orange Kitchen Aid, I think I’ll have to save for one to go in my orange walled kitchen.
Grandma Sandy R. says
Love your website so much . Always fun! Love all ideas for zucchini this time of year. Bake for my grandsons but only have a handmixer. Would love that one to be on my countertop! Icould bake some bread this winter.
Thank-you and Happy 4th of July!!!!
Katey MM says
I have to work most of the summer. The one week I do have off, will be mommy daycare week and I will be spending time with my 6year old daughter. I usually use that week to visit musuems and take “field trips”. I have a garden we are tending to this summer, altho with all the rain (upstate NY) it’s more like a jungle. Good luck to everyone who comments! May the mixer do you well! 🙂
Mara B says

Olena B. says
I wish there were more people like Kevin and more gardens that would cheer everyone up!!! My plans for the summer are to learn to live without my late brother, to find joy in my kids and continue to plant my garden.
becky says
I would LOVE that mixer!
Sherry says
Here in eastern Ontario we really have not had a good summer so far. Frost in June. My garden is doing well though-tomatoes are growing like crazy. We go into the cottage-20 minutes from farm – son and grandkids are there and he cooks us an amazing dinner every night. Water is still a little cold..
Heather says
We won’t be having a vacation this year. We opened a bakery/cafe’ in May, so our vacations for the next few years are tied up in the shop! 🙂
Now, I’m going to check out your milk chocolate frosting, and the donuts. Orange Cognac glazed donuts too. Yum!!
Heather
Maureen says
I would love to replace my 20 year old hand mixer with this. It looks like it makes the cream cheese frosting so much easier.
I love your website. It has the most helpful information ever!
Karen L. says
Wow if I win the tangerine mixer the first thing I would make is the Pain de Mie. Yum.
Janine B says
I would truly love to win this mixer. I am exploring the new world of baking the past two years, mostly around the holidays. My husband and I belong to a small group that meets weekly for dinner and I usually bring a new cake recipe that I’ve found. Thus I have acquired the new name, “The Cake Lady”!
Love your site, mostly for the gardening tips, but the recipes are very interesting too.
PattyM says
Mmmmm recipies look wonderful!! I get so many great ideas from your website! No Summer vacation this year – awaiting the birth of our second grandchild. Thanks for the chance to win the beautiful mixer!
Wendy says
I will be hosting various groups here, then, when the short people are back in school, I will spend a week on the gorgeous Gulf Coast.
Rosanne Braslow says
Moving to Wisconsin and exploring prairie country!

Hi Kevin,
Just a quick note to let you know I served the lavender shortbread with freshly picked strawberries…..what a hit that was. Thank you so much for the delicious recipe, it is a keeper…Shirley
Sandra C says
Winter sown veggies doing great, thanks to your tips!
Cool color for a mixer
Kristi says
I would love to win this item. I have always wanted one but they are so expensive they have been out of my budget. Our vaca plans are camping with our two dogs in Connecticut. 🙂
Barbara Lane says
I haven’t seen the tangerine before. I need a mixer to replace the 50 year old Sunbeam stand mixer that belonged to my grandmother.
Tris says
We’ve already hit the local zoo. Tonight we are going out to watch fireworks. That is about it for our summer vacation plans. Rather boring but it’s nice to stay at home with the kids for a few days instead of rushing off to work. Thanks for the chance to win this mixer, Kevin!
Sandy Poole says
Gorgeous color, would be put to good use in my kitchen!
Gail says
I have always dreamed of owning a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer but alas, I was given a cheaper imitation and I never developed a passion for using it. It would be the culmination of my long career as a home cook if I were to win this one.
Penny says
Awesome Blender, would love love love to win it!
Bob Barr says
Staycations in Florida. This weekend it is Daytona for my first NASCAR experience. I hear the people watching is unbeatable at a NASCAR event. Next up after that is a 7 mile float down the Ichetuknee river.

Earen Hummel says
My summer plans are to keep working on painting the rooms of my victorian house. Every room needs painting to remove the vestiges of the 1960s ( the last time it was painted!) – turquoise, orange, pea green.

Thank you Kevin!! My poor old kitchen aid is struggling along but may die any day and a nice racy orange will jazz up the kitchen

Laura Bremer says
Oh Kevin, Pick me, Pick me!
Lisa says
Would love to be able to do away with all the different appliances I have to do what that one mixer does. None of them work like they clam to. Would be more inspired to bake more with a Kitchen Aide Mixer!
Mary Walker says
I got a KitchenAid for Christmas–my daughter loves it! I told her she could have it when I die…if I win this one, I’m giving it to Rosalie.
Joan E says

Tim Fitzgerald says
KitchenAid is great!!! That mixer would make my day!!
Valerie C. says

Wendy says
LOVE my KitchenAid; have had it forever. I would love a new, orange one. 🙂
Honor says
We don’t really plan summer vacation…we make it up as we go along. We’ll do some day trip with the kids, volunteer at our favorite animal shelter and spend a good bit of time just being lazy. And spend most of the summer weeding– after these last two weeks of rain the weeds are out of control!
Jenny says
I started following your blog a couple weeks ago when searching for non-toxic – to humans and animals – ways to kill weeds. (The vinegar worked – yay!) Your blog actually inspired me to get up half an hour early every morning to work in my gardens and yard. Amazing how peaceful it is to be outside the early and how much I can get done. Thanks for the inspiration!
Denise in Colorado says
Happy 4th, Kevin!! I’m staying home, working in my high country garden and enjoying summer! I love the color of that mixer!! It would replace my ancient white one!! 🙂
Tamara Berthelson says
Summer for me…. time with my grandson,working in my garden and doing genealogy… doesn’t get any better than that !!!
Lauren Shuman says
Summer (or any other seasonal) vacation? As in leaving the ranch for more than 24 hours? Hasn’t happened in 40 plus years so I’m not holding my breath! Currently gathering the calves to sell next Wednesday (annual paycheck) and simultaneously preserving/canning the garden bounty. Assuredly, never a dull moment in these parts!
Goes without saying…love your blog and your generous gifts.
Vicki says
Heading to Lake Okoboji for our first “get away” family reunion. Can’t wait!

Spending time working in my garden and working on my tan! Thanks for your wonderful blog!

Tammy

What a fun giveaway! I’ve only ever had a hand mixer but would be so handy! My garden has benefited greatly from your blog this year – happy tomatoes. Headed to a cabin in the northwoods for some fishing and time among the tall trees later this summer.
Don Janiszeski says
Would love to own this classic stand mixer. Thanks for the opportunity to win it.

New Hampshire White mountains and Prince Edward Island red sand beaches…..it would be lovely to win
Jeannette T. says
Happy 4th of JULY !!! Great info on your blog. Thank you.
Janet Ortega says
We have already gone on our vacation, ending last Sunday. We live in AZ and decided to go to South Lake Tahoe, CA which was an 11 hour drive for us. It was a beautiful drive through small desert towns, through the desert then we started to climb and saw the beautiful snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevadas. As we climbed up and down mountains there were lakes that we passed by, remnants of burned out areas from past wildfires and lovely wildflowers all along the road and fields. The last mountain we climbed (the final climb and descent) we nicknamed “SCARY MOUNTAIN” because it was just that, EXTREMELY SCARY climbing up to 8000 feet then rapidly descending (it was shorter coming down so it was much scarier lol) to level out at 6000+ feet in Stateline, NV and as soon as we passed a few casinos, we were in California without even knowing it. The drive was part of the destination for sure. It only got better with lush forests to be hiked and boat trips across one of America’s deepest lakes. They said it would take 700 years to drain it. After a fabulous week there (btw we left AZ and it was well over 100 degrees and it was 31 degrees at night in Lake Tahoe and low 60s during the day), we were ready to start booking for next year. Or maybe we could go again at the end of the summer….pllleeeaaassseee???
Janet Ortega
Dawn Stanley says
Love your blog thanks for sharing. Hope I win the mixer I need one. Wore my old one out!!
Brenda Viloria says
Good Afternoon Kevin, I would like very much to ditch my tiny handheld Mixer for a mixer with a bowl and stand I have never owned one. I always enjoy looking at the beautiful plants in your windows and u have a real talent for beautiful table settings with elegant dishes. Your Partner is very lucky as are your guests that u entertain because all your recipes always look so fantastic and yummy. Please contact me if i am selected as the winner. Thank you for all your blogs and posts regardless.
S Lovina says
I love the tangerine color.

Nikki says
Hi there! What great timing on my part – found your blog tonight as I searched for a recipe for garlic scape pesto (thanks for that – YUM!) and then spent a lovely hour reading your archives. I kept sighing as I read recipes that are much easier with a stand mixer (since I don’t have one) – would love to win one. Thanks for a wonderful blog, I’ve bookmarked it.
Rita Steiner says
Oh how I wish I had found your post on blackspot on roses a month ago. My poor roses have succumbled to the darn disease. Will be trying the milk water treatment to see if I can help them any this season. Just found your blog today. People that blog, love flowers, food and renovating are in a good group. Happy fourth and I would see fireworks if I won a Kitchenaid mixer. Lovely color! Keep up the good work!
Karen G. says
I just found your website while browsing for ideas to put down the weeds in my back yard. Wow! This is a treasure trove of great ideas. Now I feel enthused about doing something that will have a very positive impact in the yard. Thanks very much. I have added your site to my favorites.
Michelle Darensbourg says
Oh to have a dough hook! I have been making lots of sourdough bread and pizza doughs.
As for my summer…it involves finding a new place to live and kind of starting over.
I sit here and hear people hollering out “AMERICA, F**** yeah!” Followed by hoots and woo hoos. It is 4th of July evening and people are awaiting the wondrous displays of fireworks that will soon be illuminating the sky.
Carolyn Contois says
I still use my mom’s hand-me-down Kitchen Aid mixer from the sixties! Works perfect… but I could do them in stereo….
Kristin Breinholt says
I have crazy garden envy of your amazing gardens! Someday I might be so lucky.
Zoë Scott says
I am not taking a formal vacation this year but take every opportunity to enjoy the summer here at home near the beach. I would love to whip up some treats for my 3 boys with this fancy appliance! Yay for tangerine mixers!
Durelle says
A Kitchen Aid mixer with dough hooks is on my wish list! Love the color – who wouldn’t want to whip up some of your awesomely elegant desserts with a beautiful machine like that? Love your blog, your garden tours and oh yes, your sharing of recipes I would otherwise be afraid to try.
Summer plans were delayed, due to a very late spring planting of crops here in Iowa. Looking forward to getting away from the farm to do some traveling with the camper before harvest starts this fall. Love to travel the back roads and the Great Lakes are calling us back this year.
Moriah Jagoda says
I have a small business ,myself. I make for and sell at the local Farmers Market, beautiful baked goods and homemade old fashion drinks. I have been longing for a Kitchenaid for a very long time. They make things so much easier than any other mixer I have tried. Thanks for your time Moriah
Janet says
My husband would love this mixer, as he is just now starting a career as a chef, something he has wanted to do for a very long time. This mixer would bring him such delight! Thanks!
Chris says
Love your blog, Kevin. Right now I’m making great use of your Preserving the Harvest tips.
MaryAnn Guiles-Lashway says
Hi Kevin-I found your site while searching some info on wildlife rehabers. We took an injured fawn to Jane Beaven yesterday…and I found your story on the swifts.

Samantha S.S. says
I just happen to run across this website just about 2 weeks ago and found so many useful tips, recipes, etc! I recently got a greenhouse from my sweet honey for my birthday and can not wait to try everything I’ve found useful on this site…and winning a new kitchen aid mixer would just be grand (I’ve wanted one of these for a very long time)! Thank you for the opportunity!
Josh says
Summer plans include doubling the the size of the garen to hopefully have a fall harvest.

Ooh! A Kitchen Aid mixer! Count me in for sure. Thank you Kevin. Keep on rockin’!
Sandy says
Thanks for sharing your life with everyone, I really love your woodland garden. I have a small one of my own.
Sharon says
Beautiful orange like my calendulas, I do believe this mixer would find itself used quite often in my kitchen.
Rosie Depew says
Summer plans include expanding the pasture for the sheep and cow, converting another 1/4 acre into an edible forest, updating the housing for poultry and fowl, and making tons of delicous food from our garden.
Just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed the orange cognac donuts. Your recipe happened to come up just when we were craving homemade donuts so it worked out fabulously.
Helen says
Hi,
I found your blog while searching for deutzia, believe it or not! Love it. I also have an old house, but considerably less grand. This mixer would look great in it! I love orange.
Lauren says
My kitchen is screaming for color. If I win this, my summer plans will include all sorts of baking fun. If I don’t win, I’ll just stare into the white kitchen abyss…
Michelle says
Pick me, you random generator. I am desperate for one of these!!!
😎
Diane from Boston says

Mary Lou in Central NY says
Summer plans. Right now at my brother’s in NJ for a graduation party, then sending the son off to camp for a week. He comes back on a Friday, then we are leaving the next day for Niagara Falls. Should have plenty of time in August for whipping and paddling and dough hooking! Thank you so much for this giveaway. You are a gem!
Patricia Sturdevant says
I love your website & facebook page! The Kitchen Aid Mixer would be a great addition to my home!
kelli says
My summer plans is to learn to grow, can/preserve, and cook home foods so that our house can become more independent and help my kids learn the value of food. Many kids don’t fully understand where food comes from, so I’m tearing out that horrible grass that I don’t even upkeep, for a place to grow tomatoes, peppers, and fruit trees. It’s coming along great. Thanks!
Kate says
Stumbled upon this site while looking for gardening info and am really happy I did. Summer plans include camping in the Adirondacks and long weekends exploring Columbia and Green counties by motorcycle.
James Creel says
My summer plans are to stay home.
Would like to win that Kitchen Aid mixer.
Doris Troxell says
Vacationing at the beach! We will be in cabin on the beach near Alepena, MI. Can’t wait!
Cherylann McGuire says
I would love the kitchen mixer as those cakes look yummy! My summer plans? I am leaving in a couple of weeks for the Ozarks in Missouri where I will help teach bobbin lace at summer camp. After I get back I will hopefully harvest my garden (which my hubby has promised to keep watered!) and get ready to go back to college! Eighteen credits this semester will keep me busy I think.
Vicki says
No summer trips planned this year. Too much to do here. When not at work, I am trying to rescue our gardens from this crazy weather. But since I am home I would love to have a new tangerine Kitchen Aid to use to whip up great food!
Janet O. says
OMW!! I love the color of that Mixer and the recipe for Pain de Mie in a Pullman Pan makes me want to run out right now to get the Pan & ingredients for it!!!
JoAnne says
I love the tangerine color! I will have a new color scheme if I win! Of course, to say nothing about the wonderful foodI could make with that!
William B says
Here in southern Georgia we are having cloudbursts almost everyday. Luckily we have been able to preserve our vegetables for the winter.
Ken Vollrath says
I would love to win this Kitchen Aid standing mixer, I’ve always wanted one.
V Joanne Heyob. says
Taking care of a big garden this summer, battling potato beetles can keep one very busy. We are waiting till October to go to Topsail Island for a week vacation. Would just love to give that mixer to my youngest as a wedding present. Love your blog and all of the food tips and gardening tips. Keep it coming Kevin. “)
Gina says
Nice color!!
Erin says
So pretty!
Beth says
Ooooh, tangerine! I think I’m in love!
Erin Brady says
You are so generous! No major summer plans here, just staying cool and working in the gardens very early to beat this heat.
Cathy says
I am a longtime fan of your site, Kevin, and I pore through each newsletter for tips and recipes. The most recent recipe I tried was the chicken breast in tarragon cream sauce and it was delicious! I really appreciate how you have broken out the garden chores into monthly segments that organize maintenance and upgrades into manageable bits. I would love to win the tangerine Kitchen Aid mixer– it would complement my Ibiza/Greek island-style kitchen, the color palette for which is tea-stain neutrals spiked with deep green, peach, sunny yellow, and paprika red. When I’m not at work, my summer plans include finishing the remodeling of the master bedroom, working in my custom-designed raised-bed garden, and a camping trip to Cook State Forest in Western PA.
Colleen Edwards says
Am full time care giver for my Mom. The mixer would be invaluable in speedy food prep.
Barbara Bruneau says
Every year, my raised-bed garden grows a little bit as I try something new. This year, in addition to my stand-by tomatoes (all heirloom), peppers, spinach and lettuce, I’m growing celery, carrots, and pole beans. And I’ve put in some rhubarb transplanted from a friend’s patch; so next year I’ll be able to make some yummy rhubarb concoctions with the help of that stand mixer.
Susan says
Summer plans are canning, camping and a trip to Zion Illinois for my first yearly follow up at CTCA Midwestern. Taking the SS Badger Ferry across lake Michigan this year to avoid driving thru Chicago.
Susan says
I never thought I would have the space for a kitchen mixer – but this orange one sure would make an exception. I think I would use it more for making breads than cakes – just watching the calories 🙂
Eleanor says
Hi there,
As I was going through your posts, I was thinking how much I’d love to have you guys as my neighbors. Thank you for sharing all this great information. I have no special plans for the summer. I am going to “try” and change the entire format of my back yard to make it more of an entertaining area. This will be quite a challenge. You are more than welcomed to come and give me some input! Have a great summer Sweetie.
Kate Mahoney says
Kevin, Thanks for all the great inprirational writing and posts. You are always a bright part in my day. My summer plans involve tending my organic garden and spending lots of time with my sweet rescue pup! I would LOVE this mixer to give to one of my favorite girls who will be married in August!
K Tremmel says
Always the cook, following in my mother’s footsteps, now my newly married son, a firefighter and Paramedic, joins me in the kitchen. I’d love to win this mixer as a gift for my son to assist him in continuing our tradition. 🙂
Ngoc Nguyen says
Thanks for this great giveaway!! *swoon*
My family just moved from Chicago to rural Michigan, so that’s our summer vacation! We’ve been adjusting, exploring, and settling in 🙂
Diana says
My plans for the summer: mix lots of delicious breads, cakes and cookies when I win the tangerine mixer. (Power of positive thinking!)
janet c says
I would love to win that mixer. I love the color and because I live in a cabin it would go well with my pine walls. Like it was art. lol
Jane says
Always wanted one! And how cool that you are offering that yummy color.
Melissa SMith says
I have been wanting a mixer forever. I currently mix eveything by hand. 🙁
Leslie B says
This girl from Florida needs a “tangerine” mixer! Thanks for the fun opportunity.

Shelly Brotherton says
I just love, Love, LOVE your posts!!!! They are amazing and inspiring!!! Keep up the good work and thank you for being YOU!! XOXO!!
Ted Fesz says
I’m trying to lose some weight, eat more healthy, and get away from eating all the “processed” foods that are in the stores. This would go a long way in helping me reach that goal. Making our own bread has always been a goal in our house.
Carol Fouser says
Kevin is the name I chose for my first born son…..Naturally, I was attracted to you and your great posts. You are a great teacher!! We share a love for good things. Continue to educate us with your wit, wisdom and your life and give us all great ideas for clever things to do. Your knowledge is awesome – thanks for sharing. xoxo
June says
Going to Maine, rented a cabin right on the lake (Mooselookmeguntic)!!
Chris A. says
I love reading your posts and seeing the beautiful pictures of your corner of heaven. I would love a tangerine mixer!
Katreader says
I’ve always wanted a kitchen aid mixer…even though it would be sitting on the counter taking up room. I could make the tangerine color work-but I’d kill for a metallic purple! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Kelly says
How could Gary x 2 not be cooks! A mixer that color is just crying out “cook with me! Bake with me!” I love out! I display all my appliances -how beautiful tangerine would be!
Cathy says
Summer plans: becoming a grandmother for the first time! Will be cooking up a storm surrounded by grandchildren in the future, teaching them how to safely use this sweet tangerine KitchenAid mixer! Thanks for the opportunity to win it, Kevin!
Alecia says
Love love love your blog and recipes!! Thank you!
KathieMT says
I don’t do any of the “fancier” cooking and baking since my health took and downward turn but I sure do miss my stand mixer. You would think it should last longer than 36 years! I love the color of this one, so much better than the basic white!
Sue Sifakis says
I have a spot in my kitchen that is just waiting for a tangerine mixer !
kathy says
That color is as hot as the weather here in Maine~
Love all the photos of your culinary creations.
Jan H says
No real summer plans, I foster dogs, have three of my own, but always have a foster that needs TLC, so I don’t travel. But I am busy putting up fruits and veggies, peaches, beans, squash already with more coming from a local organic farm. Even cooking for the dogs! I can’t wait to try some of your recipes, love that chocolate cake, printed out he Blueberry Yogurt pie this week, hope to make that soon. Love, to check out your blog and FB page, always a welcome relief to a hectic day! Got to try the vinegar on my weeds too, great tip! Thanks!
Jimmyc says
I could be doing lots of relaxing while baking with a tangerine mixer
Diana C says
A tangerine mixer for a Florida home! Perfect!
Judy A says
Last weekend I made your Blueberry bars and that was a huge success! I already feel like a winner! Thank you.
frederique jennette says
As a new reader to your wonderful blog, I follow all the garden advice and now would also like to try out your luscious recipes – but, don’t have a mixer!
Susan Marie Bolden says
Oooh! *LOVE* I’ve wanted a KitchenAid standing mixer since I was a young’un in HomeEc.
This particular one, should I win, will grace my countertop beautifully when not in use, while adding much needed color to a mainly black and stainless steel kitchen. LOL The number of uses it will be put to are much too numerous to list in a single post!!
Lori Mancini says
Mom had a kitchenAid in pale yellow that she used for everything. She even had an attachment that she used when canning her tomato sauce to grind the tomatoes. I would love to have one the possibilities are endless
Martha says
This would be so fun to own! Love the color! Thank you!
Donna says
I just added this site to “my favorites”.
Tracy Bozzo says
Thanks for the articles, but I would like to get more information on how to keep plants drowned by the rain from dying. Also, on transplanting to pots to keep them from dying back, lost 2 this way and a lot of cilantro from the rains earlier this year.
Diane E. says
I would so love to win this mixer. I’ve been wanting to get one, but just can’t afford it yet. I use to bake all the time, but I am physically disabled now and I can’t do the stirring and kneading that most recipes require. It would be one of the most exciting days of my life to be able to bake for my family and friends again.
Sherry says
Thanks for the advice about pinching off the suckers on tomato plants. I did it last year and my plants were wonderful! I’ve done it again this year, but my plants are still small. I’m sure they will be pretty big before long though.
Jennifer Mullinax says
Oh the fun I could have with a kitchen aid mixer!!
Dorie says
Your pictures always make me drool!!!!! One of my plans this summer is to make one of your delicious, beautiful looking desserts. That Kitchen Aid would make it all the easier! Have fun!
Michael Davis says
Tangerine orange is my new favorite color.
Dee Tejada says
Lovely!!!
Donna says
Would love to win such a tangerine dream 🙂
Jodie says
Love your blog Kevin. The photos of the gardens and your house are inspiring but the recipes you post are awesome. Have tried many of them and thank you each time I do! We are summering in southwestern France, midi-Pyrenees area of the Aveyron. We just took a holiday to the Alsace region of France to attend an amazing Mineral and Gem show this past weekend in a quaint little village called Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines. I have beautiful green granite countertops in the house in California and that tangerine mixer would be eye-popping beautiful sitting there! Cheers!
Sheila says
My 79 year old husband has taken over the cooking at our house. He thoroughly enjoys it. I share your recipes with him.
I believe he would feel especially appreciated if he received the Kitchen Aid mixer.
Just imagine what he could do!!!!!!!!
Deborah says
Love Love Love your site. We are transplanted New Yorkers to Arizona and miss the Hudson Valley soooooooo much. Our goal….to come back ‘home’. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes and awesome photos of lush NY.
Carole says
Love your newsletter and trying out some of your recipes. Umm Umm good !!
Esmerelda33 says
Mmmmm! I want to make a tangerine cake!
jan says
Haven’t had my vacation yet. But a bit later in the year, when it cools down a bit. Then we do something for a few days…xxx
Kathy Reamy says
Our summer plans are fluid this year, just like the overabundance of rain Ohio is receiving this summer. Makes up for the super dry summers we have had the past few years. We want to visit our grown children but between Jury duty and doctor appointments and our son relocating from NJ to Atlanta in a month not sure when we will manage it. Before you know it my husband will be back to his teaching job. Oh well, the pool and gardens keep us busy here in the summer anyhow.
Deb says
would LOVE this!! I do a lot of baking…and yes, I do try your recipies! the cream cheese icing is beyond words! not only would I love to win it…I NEED to win it as I only have a hand mixer now! thanks for the offer and I will continue to watch and read. love your home and all you share with us!
Allison says
I love the color!
Lorraine Blanton says
Two teenagers on summer break means keeping on top of computer camps, Girl Scout camps, visits with friends, family reunions, beach trips, water park adventures, Disneyland, Universal Studios…I’m tired just thinking about it!
Laura Hogan says
I NEED this! Its so pretty! 🙂
Will Hogan says
My wife is making me enter this lol. I would love her to make me some bread and cookies with this though!
John McDole says
Always such great ideas, and delicious temptations! Thanks for helping those of us not as creative as you……and even those who are. 😉
Andi Riggs says
I love all your recipe & garden posts. I’m living the dream vicariously through you! 🙂
Thank you!!!
Julie B says
I have a stainless steel mixer to match my kitchen but must say that I LOVE that jolt of tangerine.
This summer involves too little time off from work and a lot of time rehabbing the garden and catching io on household projects. Next up is all-house carpet cleaning.
karen flynn says
I’m looking forward to spending my first grandchild’s first birthday in his soon-to-be new home in TN.
Kari Mackay says
I love my 20 year old Kitchen Aid mixer, but it is getting tired. I love the vibrant tangerine!
Gail Gullang says
Win or not, I’ll post you pix of my mina lobata when it blooms. An exotic looking plant that’s really just a cousin of the morning glory.
gari says
i love the tangerine. . . and i’m sure it would love me too. ;P
Dennis R says
my summer plans include visiting 2 of my favorite hudson valley gardens
& gardeners on August 17th..(must remember to bring cat & dog treats!)
Mary Ellen Hern says
The tangerine mixer needs turquoise bowls next to it!
This summer I’m having some mini-vacations: long Memorial Day weekend at the CT shore, a weekend in early August in Cooperstown to see the art museums, Glimmerglass Opera and Brewery Ommegang, and a week in late August in the Blue Ridge mountains. Thanks, Kevin!
Shawnee Sheldt says
Just found you on bloglovin’–an additional way for me to know that you’ve updated–but mostly I plugged you in because I only follow a total of three blogs–and yours is the one I share with anyone willing to listen!!

My favourite colour AND it complements my Titian-colored hair, it’s been on my wish list for the last year, and as I bake for a living….Win, Win, I say!!! Xx
Beverly, zone 6 - eastern PA says
“Summer vacation” no longer applies since I have stopped teaching. I am 100% retired and have 12 months of vacation annually. However, I know what you mean…. where are we all traveling… I am unable to tear myself away from the garden in the growing months of April through October. Any trips we take occur in February or March. Our favorite trips so far have been to Paris where my brother is located. TOO MUCH FUN!!!!
Shannon Marie says
Hi, Kevin! Thanks for another great giveaway, you’re the bees knees!
Rosarito says
Love the tangerine color!
Suzanne says
would just love to win the mixer.
Courtney says
Just found your blog recently and am slowly starting to work my way through your recipe box. A tangerine mixer would make me smile every time I got to use it.
Marita says
We are spending our summer visiting Grandkids all around the state and Gardening!
We have a big veggie garden, 300 strawberry plants, 40 ft of raspberry canes, 10 blueberry bushes, 20 fruit trees. We have a big food dehydrator and a big freezer, so will be doing lots of that. as much as we can eat we do and the rest is for winter.
Keith Bowen says
Thanks for all the sharing… your pics and food make my day! Keith Bowen
Claire Gardner says
I saved your garlic scape recipe from last year, counting down the days to 2013 scapes. But, our CSA had a poor crop of garlic this year with hardly a half pound for each share. I had some mail-ordered in (from Washington State to Maryland). I pulled up your recipe and now have 2 batches chilling. I’ve enjoyed ‘clicking around’ your site–amazing ideas, suggestions and recipes! Thanks!
Nina G says
Mostly just relaxing, but we are planning a week in Glen Arbor, Michigan…absolutely georgous beach town!! Also, a trip to Arkansas for my Dad’s 90th!
Judy says
Such a lovely gift to offer someone! Thanks for the chance to win it 🙂
Gladys says
I love the colour, so cheerful.
Michelle A. says
I always enjoy at least one camping trip every summer. Sleeping in a tent in the woods by a lake is the best!
Btw, your garden is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen in pictures. I couldn’t imagine how breathtaking it would be in person.
Thanks for everything!
Keila says
Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July! Thanks for the opportunity to win this lovely prize!
Sandy Douglass Abalos says
My summer vacation plans are to stay home, since I’ve starting raising chickens & guineas. Maybe we’ll take a trip when they’re older & it’s cooler–like autumn!
mike says
Well, automation hasn’t made it to my kitchen. Not yet, anyway. I’m still in the early 1900s…spoons and paddles are my mixers. I keep trying for the food processors you so generously give away, but alas, no luck. I make a loaf of whole wheat bread every three days…the old fashioned way…by hand, using a spoon for mixing, then kneading using blunt human force. This could revolutionize my bread making and my outlook! Thanks, whether I am THE winner or not. Thanks for your fine blog, my blog-mate!
Soledad Song says
I have always wanted a Kitchen-Aid mixer of my very own. My last mixer was stolen by a shady ex-roommate, so I am mixerless at the moment. Thank you for holding this contest! 🙂
Kathy Petersen says
I love to Bake
Kara says
My current (sad) mixer has a haphazard left mixer arm that falls aimlessly out of it’s rightful place. . . I am in desperate need!!
Misty Morgan says

You are always offering something really cool and this time it is REALLY COOL! I would love to win that beautiful machine, because I enjoy baking breads, cinnamon rolls, pizza and more. Thanks Kevin, for a chance to win this machine!
Wilma Tyler Dibelka says
Odds look pretty good and I sure could use this tool, especially since I would enjoy being even half the cook Kevin is.
P.S. Thanks Kevin for all the tips, recipes and fun.
Diane Kratz says
You are too generous!
Luckily we are planning a family beach trip (Surfside Beach, SC) this summer and I also get to fly solo to California to visit my brother. Will also do some baking with blueberries!
Lisa Grandstaff says
I’m putting off my “normal” summer plans of travel so that I can go to Hawaii for two weeks to spend time with my brother and sis-in-law. He was just transferred there! Instead of traveling, I will hunker down on the house and property. No losers in this summer’s unfolding!
Paula Schima says
I’ve always mixed everything by hand. Think it would be a treat to use a Kitchen-Aid mixer.

Next week I turn 50. Celebrating with family and friends. This summer I hope to spend as much time with my grandkids as possible. My house is up for sale, buyer to sign off on conditions this Tuesday. Hoping to move onto a houseboat full time with my husband. This has been a dream of ours for a long time. Can’t wait to do some cooking and baking on the boat and having dinners on deck. I think a tangerine Kitchen Aide Mixer would be a nice piece to my galley.
Pat says
I would love to win this. Love the color.
Karen Chickering says
Kevin, I love your posts, and your tantalizing recipes that always work (thank you for that!). I would repaint the kitchen around that amazing tangerine color! meanwhile, back to the garden, after singing a beautiful wedding outdoors yesterday. and biking, and mowing 🙁
Madfortulips says
Vacation….Paris next week!
Betty G says
That would look awesome on my avocado colored counter top from the ’50’s ;-).
Btw, I made that delicious Spinach, Fennel & White Bean Gratin and changed out the half and half to almond milk with some cashew butter added to make it creamy. Wow I will make it again, nice combo.
Rose Anne Warmuth says
I look forward to your newsletter every week. Thanks for all of the great receipes and gardening tips. Winning the Kitchen Aid would be a wonderful bonus.

Enjoying your blog!
Bonnie Atkins says
Thanks for your fabulous website; I’m making better use than ever of my farm share this summer….I love the kitchen aid, dream of the kitchen aid, and adore the color!
Celebrating the overturning of DOMA this week! So happy my 3 year old son will not remember that his family was not protecting by law…. More needs to be done….not much time off this summer but trying to savor the long days! A kitchen-aid would help!
Ilene says
Would absolutely love the tangerine stand mixer….garden veggies are on the way …it would make using them much easier. Always looking to try new recipes!!

Gads — Your baked goods are gorgeous to look at!!! I too enjoy reading your newsletter every week! Thanks Kevin.
Rhonda says
I have small, very small vacation plans for the summer. A few friends and I are going to Hershey Park to ride the roller coasters and see the botanical gardens. My real vacation will be in September when I go to the panhandle of Oklahoma to pick grapes on my friend, and former boss, and her husbands small vineyard. I have been helping them cut the grapes since the beginning and really missed it last year when I moved east for a new position in the eastern panhandle of WV. From one panhandle to another 🙂 Have a great summer everyone!
Trudi Dido says
Thanks for the smoothie recipe . Its an interesting version of one I’ve made in the past. I like the addition of the almonds , That new mixer sure would be nice in my kitchen! Now that I have entered I can go on with the rest of your email and see what s growing in NY this week
.In Atlanta we have knee high weeds from all the rain. That makes it easy to pull them out roots and all when the ground is wet!
Dianna says
I would love to win this mixer because I lost mine in a house fire.

With all the baking I do, this would be a wonderful addition to my kitchen! Love the color!

Hi Kevin. I’m. New to your web sight and can’t believe your generosity! I love to bake and all those deserts look worth making. My summer plans are establishing a perennial garden and roses. And in the pool. Babying these flowers thanks for your help. You are a blessing!
Anne Eby says
I especially like the pictures of your garden. It inspires me.
Woody says
I need a vacation and something orange in my kitchen . . . bad.
ateve says
summer plans? work in the garden, work in the garden, and… oh, work in the garden! and, since our son is entering college this fall, the garden is our new kid — we’d never be able to take a summer vacation without hiring someone to garden-sit. and this is totally cool. there are worse obsessions than gardening. now for that mixer… since it is close to the color of my kitchen it would be smashingly good looking on the counter (oh, and finally i’d be able to add baking to my culinary repertoire).
Karen says
I’ve started making baked goods, mostly from organic goodies I grow on our little farm, to sell at a farmer’s market. Love your recipes, and could really use the mixer to speed up my production!
KZ says
Would add a bit of fireworks to my kitchen. Always look forward to your weekly email. Thanks!

My summer has been busy with 50th reunions. Class of 63 both myself and my husband, different small schools in Kansas. Also had lunch with my freshman college roomies just 50 years later . What fun. In September will celebrate 48 years of marriage . Now you know how old my kitchen aide is no bread hook back then.
Barbara Zakrzewski says
Kevin, I love your site and look forward to each newsletter from you. Yesterday I made your Gruyere Cheese and Thyme Gourgeres. I probably didn’t spell it right, but, they were absolutely delicious! You have a lot of recipes I would love to try if I had a stand mixer.
Regina Patz says
These are amazing machines, even more so in brilliant colors.
Polly Jones says
I enjoy the newsletter…..Keep the great recipes coming…..Fun to try new ones….
Maggie says
Good job this is a random drawing Kevin, I’d have absolutely no hope of winning! Just look at all the comments you’ve already received, and some really clever ones at that! And the list seems to be growing! Here’s hoping to win the lovely Tangerine mixer! I’ll definitely put it to good use.
Laura Johmson says

Monique says
Thank you for this giveaway. I have a very old Sunbeam mixer but it’s still chugging along. Love the tangerine color.

I grew up with a stand-up mixer, but have never bought one for myself. Would love to have a tangerine one!! They make cooking even more fun!

Suzanne says
Enjoy your comments & recipes. Love the photos of the garden. I will try the zucchini freezing.
Beth says
I am spending the hours between rain storms creating a woodland garden in the back yard. Thanks Kevin for all the tips and pictures you have posted about your own wooded space. You have been an inspiration. When I am not in the garden, I am making frozen fruit soufflés in the kitchen. Oh how handy this pretty orange mixer would be sitting on my countertop.
Kathy Bergman says
Thank-you for your inspiration, I look forward to opening your e-mails, my many blessings come your way….
Shawnie says
Hello
I love love love your recipes! 🙂
Vacation? Well, as a family, it was decided to do a homegrown roadtrip.
In our newspaper, there was an article about “105 things to see” in Kansas. So we picked a handful of things -to -see and then spent a over a week doing it.
Itended up being a fun and interesting trip. 🙂
Sylvia Shelnutt says
I receive your post each Sunday. I look forward to my weekly visity with you to find out what you have been doing in the past week. Thank you for the photos of your home and gardens and the detailed photos and directions of your recipies.
Jan says
Those photos look scrumptious! I don’t have a mixer that pretty. After almost 30 years of marriage I’m still making do with my hand held mixer. Truth be told if I won I would give it to my cupcake loving daughter who would use that mixer every day to whip up treats for her family, friends, and strangers alike. I’d just take pictures of her enjoying the mixer.
Grazyna says
I’m happy that the number of your followers is growing (judging by the number of comments). Who wouldn’t want to havea tangerine mixer. I certainly do. You made me hungry for some sweets with your posts today.
Sheila says
I have been needing one for a long time, keep looking at yard sales.
Leslie says
I don’t care if I win the mixer, although I would like to. I mostly want to say thank you. I’m a novice gardner, and your site gives me confidence.

Would love to have a Kitchen-aid, that’s like the Mercedes of the mixing world!
Denise says
I have a 35 year old plain white 4 qt Kitchen Aid and would love to upgrade to a new brightly colored one to make lots of new things.
Helen says
Love the color! What fun in the winter. This Summer I am trying to keep up with the gardens which is a full time job. Luckily I only work part time in the Summer at my paying job so I find roughly half the lettuce before it bolts and half the squash before they are too heavy to lift.
Erin Henderson says
Yum, the cream cheese frosting looks incredible!
Margaret says
Summer plans? So much to do, work in the garden, mow the lawn, enjoy the granddaughters, help with vacation bible school, keep preparing the gluten free food that I so need, to name a few things. I have to be gluten free and so make almost all of my own breads, desserts, etc.
When I saw the tangerine Kitchen aid I immediately loved it!! I appreciate your blog so much, I love seeing what you are doing with your gardens and your house. I have tried a lot of your recipes and have made them gluten free!! It usually just takes using GF ingredients so I have really loved the recipes!! My co-workers and friends have loved them also!! I always give you all the credit and give them your blog information so they can follow you also!! Thank you for your recipes, inspiration and every you share with you readers!! Margaret
Wendy s says
Just in from picking raspberries before the hottest part of the day. We’re doing a stay-cation this year but are taking lots of day trips. Have a great summer!
Sue says

Every year on my birthday I make my own cake. It is a tradition that my grandmother instilled in me. This year I think I’ll make one of those Queen Victoria cakes. It looks yummy!
Karen L. says
My vacation this year will be a “staycation” as we just sold and bought a new to us house. Lots to do and money to save up so going no where this summer. Sure wouldn’t mind winning that mixer to enhance that “staycation” though. It’s a beauty!!! Love your blog. You share so much great information and recipes. Thanks for doing that.
juanita says
Thank you for our generosity for having wonderful prizes. I love your website. And, the tangerine color just say happy all over it.

DD Burns says
Hi Kevin- I LOVE your weekly letter! I sit with a cup of coffee ( or glass of wine, depending on the time of day! ) and read through each section. I especially love your little side comments! No big plans this summer for us, just enjoying the garden and the pool.
Kelly says
Kevin, I hope your random pick ends up being me! I have always wanted a stand up mixer but they are so pricey that I can never justify spending all that money when there is always something else I should be spending it on. So I hope I am your random draw!
Pat O says
I’ve needed a buttercream frosting recipe for a long time! I love your blog, Kevin!
Cindy Chornyak says

Nancy says
Hi
I do love your blogsite.. many helpful and handy things.. I am retired and do more cooking.baking and gardening than ever before.. I am so enjoying it. A Kitchen Aid mixer was something I have always wanted.. but raising children then college etc.. I always seemed to put myself last and their needs first, so I have never gotten one..
This Tangerine one is to die for… Its not just a Kitchen Aid.. its a Tangerine Ktchen Aid Stand Mixer.. Love it….
Sylvia says
The recipes are beyond scrumptious looking. The mixer is great, but the color . . . oh, the color! Thank you for the chance to win, but more importantly thank you for all of the interesting information you provide and the most engaging way you provide it.
Torie Baldwin says
Wow! What a great color. I’m entering for my Aunt, who doesn’t have a kitchen aid mixer but wants one. I hope she wins!! Thanks!

I am planning on making the Queen’s Cake for my next cancer survivor meeting, using this tangerine mixer would make me feel like an extroverted 5 star baker.

This mixer would get years of service!
Thanks for the opportunity.
Nancy McNeal says
I would love, love, love to have this mixer!
Mary Jones says
Last year I was able to go to France for the first time in my life, to visit my daughter who had just spent the year there. She lived in Tours, a city with which I am now in love, and we visited several of the chateaux in the Loire Valley. I also hopped over to England to visit my deer relatives, whom I hadn’t seen in 16 years, and then we packed up her apartment and stayed a few days in Paris before coming home together. It was idyllic. The French people were so kind and patient with my long-ago-one-year-of-college French. I came back only to fly down to be with friends who rented a beach house on the Jersey Shore with their family. After all that, this year my budget demands that I spend very little. In fact I am teaching summer school for six weeks, which begins tomorrow!
Christina Giordano says
I’m happy to have a chance to win this lovely appliance. Love your postings and have cultivates some African violets following your instructions.
Matt says
I would love to have this mixer. I love to cook and it reminds me of the one my mother had when I was growing up. I love the Cream Cheese Frosting.
Carolyn Jones says
Smoothies-what a delicious way to get your day going, thanks Kevin! A tangerine mixer-sounds like the perfect thing to brighten my kitchen. I keep on dreamin’!
Eloise says
Thank you, Kevin, for such a fun contest! I’d love this mixer. But even if I don’t win, I will console myself by enjoying the largest, most lush ferns I’ve ever grown, thanks to you. Miracid and daily watering is working magic here. Great blog, Kevin! Look forward to spending every Sunday morning with you!i
James Hanna says
I enjoy the great article’s and wonderful recipes featuted on your news letter. We spend time neutering and tending our garden in anticipation of a bountiful harvest. Our harvest is canned and frozen for year round enjoyment. I get along fine with my hand mixer, however I have often been tempted to purchase a counter mixer. Maybe if I don’t win this one I will break down and buy one.
scott says
What a great prize! I can see lots of breads with this great machine.
Joni Davis says
Oh what a joy – to win this mixer!! Love Sundays when your newsletter comes!!!
Trisha Grant says
I have been using my grandmothers Sunbeam stand mixer that is at least over 40 yrs old. It just broke! That tangerine mixer would make a fabulous replacement!!!!!
Helen says
Orange mixer – awesome! Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
Kate Stalter-Mastro says
This would be the perfect for the “Climax Kitchen” equipment addition. The color is perfect and the Kitchen has been in need of a standalone mixer forever. This month I added an Excalibur dehydrator and a Pressure cooker canner. This mixer would be in good company if it came to my house. Wish me Luck!
Nola Stowe says
Summer Plans… spend as much time with my aging grandparents as possible! Grandma is 92 this fall and Grandpa is 89. I remember Grandma showing me how to make banana bread and I wrote down her recipe where she had the amounts for 1x 2x and 3x the recipe. She is not able to cook anymore, confined to a wheel chair.
judy chambers says
orange my favorite color would never be able to afford one of these
Senlin Long says
I look forward to your email every week. You always have such good recipes and gardening tips. Would love having the Kitchen Aid to make your recipes.
WendyMac says
I am trying out your suggestions for killing the weeds in my garden, doing a test patch of the newspaper. Thanks! I want to encourage my toads and discourage the potato beetles so I don’t want chemicals. What would I do with a mixer? I would give it to one of my sisters. I could not live without my own white beast. I make three loaves of bread each week, and give two away. I would never undertake this without the help of a mixer.
Great emails, thanks!
Betty says
My summer plans involve traveling to the weddings of my nephews.

Brenda Schmidt says
My mixer is a portable one that we got at our wedding shower 41 years ago. I have always wanted the kitchen aid to replace this one when it bites the dust. HA HA!
Lisa says
Oh, how I would love to win the tangerine mixer!!! Thanks for all the great info!!
Cindy says
So enjoy your newsletter. I have used many of your delish recipes and find the gardening tip very helpful. Boy, making all of this zucchini bread ( big crop this year ) could be made a bit easier with a beautiful Kitchen Aid instead of my mixing it by hand. Might be able to increase the loaves I make at one time.
Jeanne Dwyer says
This is a very generous giveaway, Kevin! I thank you in advance for having randomly picked me. 🙂 I have made so many of your recipes posted on this blog. I look forward to continuing the tradition with my new mixer!!!!

So far we have gone to a cubs game and taken the train to the Blackhawks parade. Next I want to take him on a canoe. Building memories.

I pass your site on to all my friends. BTW would love the mixer,
Thankxxx again,
Jane says
I have a wonderful old 1950s Sunbeam standing mixer that has served me beautifully for decades, but its motor is finally wearing out. I’ve looked longingly at the new ones, but the price for a good one like this is simply beyond me. I’m generally not big on entering contests, but this one I can’t resist. Here’s hoping!
Leslie says
I think my summer adventure is hanging around the house and watching the plants grow! In between mixing up treats in my new, brightly colored Kitchen Aid! I can dream can’t I?
Rebecca Dare says
Other than the yearly Permaculture Convergence weekend that we’ll be going to in August in Oregon, we don’t have any summer vacation plans — because we can’t leave the garden!! This winter, however, we’re dreaming up a trip to Mexico City, Oaxaca, Caracas & Quito (a dream, but we’re hoping).
Chip Barkel says
Love your posts Kevin. So, how does one get on your ‘friend list” 🙂 You are a true inspiration. Thank you.

Oh boy what I could do with that mixer! And Kevin, I too have an 80 year old linden tree in my back yard, right next to the deck. And it’s loving all this rain.
Maria says
My Mom just passed and I plan on using many of her recipes to share with family and friends in remembrance and this would be so handy!

I don’t own a mixer as mine died so winning a new mixer would be fantastic. At the moment though, I want one of those doughnuts with my coffee! lol.. Thank you as always!
Apryl Kingsley says
I can imagine the tangerine mixer on my counter. Have to get a matching tea pot. Love the color.

I have been wanting to experiment making my own bread for sometime now – that color would fit my kitchen perfectly!
Heather Kathleen says
I love your site! I am so glad you posted about the pullman pan–have been wanting to make bread for the kids lunches, but it’s always too tall for the containers…heading to amazon.com right now to order one.
Camille says
Awesome color mixer that would compliment just about any kitchen & assist the cook in preparing the delicious goodies for family/ friends. Thanks so much Kevin for sharing your recipes & gardening tips, love reading your page! Ocean vacation soon!
bob steffens says
I enjoy all gardening info and have learned so much. the mixer would be nice as I have more time to us one since I retired this last April. keep the info coming.
Pat says
Oh, the things we could make with a tangerine blender: pineapple sage shortbread, mint chocolate cookies, scented geranium pound cake. Yum!
Jen says
After twenty years, the mixer I have would love to go into retirement to welcome a new mixer to our busy kitchen. Thanks for the opportunity! And the happy, bold color only adds to the culinary inspiration. (;

This looks like my lucky number! My daughter and best friend LOVE their Kitchen Aid mixer!!!!
rebecca firestone says
My husband has asked for stand mixer for the last few years. He has promised to bake breads, cookies and anything else we’d like. Unfortunately budget has kept it from happening. Think the 1st recipe I’d ask him to make is your French sandwich bread.
Suzi Jackson says
Wow!! Tangerine! What a wonderful addition this would be for my kitchen. Love all your recipes and garden tours.
Phyllis says
My summer plans are to enjoy being on the farm. Love being outdoors!!!!

RubyRider says
Orange Crush!! Have a great summer!
patti panuccio says
I had to sell my last one in a move, sure could use another one, it’s hard to get used to a hand mixer when you’ve used a stand mixer.
Barbara says
I’m using a ’40s model Mixmaster and this beauty would be like a ray of sunshine on my kitchen counter. Love your blog, Kevin!!
Sara says
What a fab mixer! Now, let’s see the creations! Your web page is great.

One of the first things I do on Sunday mornings is read your newsletter. Love it!!!! I enjoy your house “tours”. Do you have problems with deer?? They’ve decimated my hosta and daylilies this year. Any deterrents??
Linda lloyd says
My mouth waters every Sunday when your blog post arrives! Tangerine? My new favorite color! I’d love this sweet baby to adorn my new kitchen! We are building a house after a wicked fire destroyed our last home and I decided ( this morning) that tangerine Must go with it!!!!
Rachel Ginther says
Thanks for sharing your world…..
Kimberly says
I would love to win!
Laurel Moehring says
Hi Kevin, I really enjoy reading your articles! I live in Florida, but grew up in New England, so although I can’t grow some of the plants and don’t have snow, I can still relate! I loved watching my bulbs and early perennials come out every spring. My husband has become a wonderful cook over the last 30 years (yup, we just celebrated 30!) and he drools over those Kitchenaid mixers. I would love to win it for him! And that tangerine color is very inspiring! Thanks for the offer!
Carol in MT says
Ooh, a new shiny mixer would be so nice!
Laurie Lewis says
Love the blog,the garden tours,and the recipes.Would be thrilled to win the mixer.
Janet E says
Hi Kevin, love your blog and all the recipes!! We’re keeping busy trying to keep the deer from jumping the fence into the garden and away from the fruit trees. Have already picked 2 large buckets of plums and about 3 times that many left – you know what I’ll be doing this week.
Thanks for the chance to win that beautiful tangerine gem, I could really put it to good use!!!!
mel says
I was going to comment on the smoothie page, but might as well say it here. I had an issue with low potassium a few weeks ago which landed me and my soon to be kiddo in the hospital for an overnighter on ivy’s. Since then I have been making smoothies with the standard yogurt and frozen fruit, but now I am adding a big handful of spinach from the garden and coconut water to thin it out. The coconut water is filled with electrolytes and the spinach is just plain old good for you. Depending on the fruit used (often frozen strawberries, mango and banana) and the proportions it may be a bit green, but it still tastes sweet and delicious.
Polly Snodgrass says
Would love this. Now that I am retired there is more time for bakig.
Joyce says
A beautiful tangerine mixer would be just the best to keep me happy indoors as the rains keep coming and keep me from doing much in the garden. Haven’t had to do much watering this year. After two years of drought we are now 15 in above normal in rain fall and more predicted for every day this coming week. Got the Wet In Georgia Blues.
Cheryl says
I know better than to accept a dare…..did it anyway…I looked at the Decadent Cream Cheese Frosting recipe and now have to make a cake to use it on! It sounds fantastic and I can’t wait to taste it. I have my two youngest Grand-kids this summer, so they will be extra taste testers. Thanks for the chance at the Kitchen Aid, what a cheerful color!
Gerianne Pati says
The garden photos & advice are my favorite. This whole site is just beautiful! The mixer is a very nice giveaway!
Dianna B says
I got a real deal on a tangerine immersion blender that the tangerine Kitchen Aid
Mixer would love to sit by and be friends for life. Thanks for all you do with the
garden and recipes that you share with us….people like you are rare and always
a spot of joy in life.
Sandie says
Oh the wonderful things I could make on a tangerine mixer now that I’m retired!
Thanks for the work you put into your site. Look forward to it each Sunday.
Cindy L. says
It’s always been a dream of mine to have a Kitchen-Aid stand mixer. I am now retired and have time to enjoy cooking and baking, but my old mixer is difficult to handle due to arthritis in my hands. Thank you for the opportunity to possibly win one! = )
Lynn says
I do!! I do!! Pick me!! Pick me!! Thanks for the opportunity to dream about being a possible winner for a few days.
Margaret says
Always wear a stylish hat – I favor my father in law’s panama hat – and a pretty silk scarf when you garden. Skin cancer is very expensive, and annoying.
Anna Lapping says
Wow, there’s a lot of interest in this contest! I love the color and would love to replace my ancient Kenwood (British, not sure if you can still get them in the US) with a beautiful tangerine Kitchen Aid.
Glenn Dickerson says
Summer! Roses and tomatoes says it all for me. Thank you so much for sharing.
tony pires says
Kevin, always find articles in your blog that we can use, we have three different kinds of zucchini planted this year and will be able to use today’s freezing guide. Thanks
Mary Lou says
Would love the mixer as a gift for my engaged daughter.
Ava says
I’ll have the usual staycation here in Asheville, NC…Biltmore Estate, art galleries and shops downtown. Any other spare time will be spent working on my woodland garden. Love all the great info. I do think the milk on my roses is helping.
Michelle Snow says
I just got back last night from a week long trip to northern Michigan. Fifteen hours in the car yesterday! Today my plan is to head out to my garden, see how it fared while I was gone. We had plenty of storms while I was gone, so I don’t need to water, but I imagine there are sticks and leaves down all over. Time for some cleanup.
Jacquie says
I already have a mixer—-old standard—–but how nice to have a new orange one. I love your newsletters—–recipes, gardening tips and all. Thanks.
prairiecactus says
I want this for my son and daughter-in-law…plain and simple….he and his young wife are saving every penny to build a life and there are so many things I know they would love to have in their kitchen, this being one….I hope the randomness generator chooses me so I can see this in M&M’s kitchen!
Shirley W says
I never knew the mixer came in that gorgeous color ! I’ve just started getting your newsletter and loved the tip on freezing zucchini … intend to go back and read more articles after I enter this !!
LD says
How do I know about this? Because here in the ATL is has not stopped raining and cannot go out to work in the garden since it is a soggy mess. Thus I am now catching up on my blog reading and now I am hungry for cake! Thanks for the recipes!!!
Gary says
Thanks for all the interesting articles and recipes.
Heather O'Shaughnessy says
Oh wouldn’t a Kitchen Aid standing mixer be a wonderful thing to have…I have always used a hand mixer because as a single mom for many years I always could find something else that needed the money….lol. I look at them in the store over the years and marvel at the colours…retro colours, new colours….they are so pretty…and to have a mixer that the motor wouldn’t whine when I tried to make heavy doughs or carrot cake….lol. Good luck to everyone!!
DodieR says
Learning so much from your site, both cooking & gardening. Would love to have the mixer to do the kneading of your bread recipes. Doing it by hand is getting harder every day in my old age…lol.
Ava lansbery says
I so look forward to your newsletter, thanks much for your hard work.

Great website for info. Has helped my gardening and my kitchen. Wouldn’t miss this site for the world. Such good ideas and recipes. Glad I found the site and all the good things it offers. Summer plans are just to work around the garden and dehydrating the good things it gives us. Canning and freezing as also on the work list.
M Brown says
Married 57 years. My kitchen aid mixer is worn out. Love your blog.

Thanks for all of the yummy looking recipes! I also love the retro look of the mixer!
CF says
Summer plans – a little gardening, a lot of office work.
Your life seems so much more fun than mine! But I try to whip up a few goodies every week, and a new mixer would be delightful.
Thank you for such an inspirational blog!
Ellen says
Since I already have a stand mixer this will make a wonderful wedding gift or my daughter next month.
My summer is filled with preparing for the wedding and working in my flower gardens. I hope it will look beautiful for all the family visiting for this special occasion!
Jan Atchison says
My 91 year old mother has just moved in with my husband and I. She still loves to bake and has been using my hand held mixer. The end results are yummy BUT the process is a bit messy. Her eyesight isn’t the best and after each mixing “episode” there is batter dripping off the cabinets and walls. I’m thinking a nice bright mixer with a large bowl is just the thing!
Cissy Kross says
Luv your site; yum yum yummm…luv that mixer…summer plans? trying to keep ahead of the weeds while not getting heat stroke in Boca Raton, FL!
Julie Brooks says
I was so happy to see the fennel recipe just when I picked some up from my CSA Community Supported Agriculture, The Three Plaid Farmers. I had never tried it before and this was the perfect recipe. Thank you. I so enjoy going on your garden walks!
Lisa Horner says
With 6 kids 11 and younger, I would love to win this cool mixer!! And the color is so pretty!! My grandma used to have one and I have fond memories of her and her chocolate chip cookies she made regularly in hers!
Kristina says
I would love this as my kitchen is finally large enough in my new house for a standing mixer!
Carrie says
If I won this mixer I would make all of those posted recipes, especially the cakes and breads and donuts. (Oops, that would be all of them). And I would have a great time making them, folk music playing, cats offering advice, hot summer breeze blowing in the window.
Faye says
Orange! Yum. It would look fabulous on my kitchen counter. Thank you for the opportunity and the detailed recipes.
Pat G. says
A chance to give up my hand mixer…that would be a great joy. I love the flash back photos you posted. All your completed food dishes look great. Do you use a tripod/timer to get those photos of your hands and ingredients or a helper who is willing to be your taste tester? Happy Summer!
BarbaraL says
Only recently found your site, and am enjoying it immensely. Never have had a standing mixer, so would be happy to welcome one home.
Joyce Ross says
i like your website very much
Gerrie Rousseau says
This Kitchen Aid mixer would be a superb partner while processing my homestead garden.

Rebecca Peterson says
I’ve recently moved into my boyrfriends farm. I’m from the city and he’s always lived on a farm. I have never been a baker, nor cooked much. He’s used to his mothers cooking growing up with all types of home cooked treats. I would like to extend this luxury to him and learn how to bake these treats. This would item would give me inspiration. Thanks for the opportunity! Rebecca.
Deborah says
Wow! What an eye-popping color. No matter, if it does all the work who cares what color it is! Thanks for sharing all the mouthwatering recipes. Will definitly try a few. Thanks for the chance to win. Deborah

Gosh, the only mixer I’ve had for many years is my right arm & a whisk or a spoon. Fingers crossed:) Thanks for the chance! xo
Sandra from WA says
I am not going anywhere this summer, but hosting family and friends at my home this summer.
I use my mixer for everything, especially love to make double batches of cookies, and the Kitchen Aid rises to the challenge.
Enjoy your news letter and all the things you make and care for.
Have a wonderful summer.

Lynn says
I would love to give this to my daughter who has practically worn out her old one!
Pam says
Loved the picture of you with the grand kids. Adorable. Thanks for sharing your joys with us – garden, kitchen, family, friends, and home. Hugs from Texas.
Alison Neely says
I grew up with a mother who cooked for economic reasons. Later in life, she began cooking for fun and started accumulating kitchen gadgets. The first mixer we had was an ancient red and white model; I can’t remember the manufacturer. However, all culinary endeavors changed when she got a Kitchen Aid standing mixer. I can still see its avocado green color, which was in fashion at that time. That mixer survived 20 years of loving use with her before passing on to my older sister. It is still in operation.
I have never owned more than a Kitchen Aid hand mixer but love to have the standing model as well. Its versatility would be an asset for me in baking for both my home and my high school students.
Thank you.
Pamala says
Love your site with the mixture of the gardens and cooking . . . the tangerine mixer would be a great addition in our house.
Mary Roberts says
Decadent Cream Cheese Frosting with Cointreau……..Exquisite! Your beautiful home and gardens, as well as your recipes are food for my soul. Thankyou,thankyou for sharing your life with others.
May I please be entered into the Kitchen Aide mixer drawing?
Sharon says
Would so love to give this mixer to my daughter and son-in-law, both of whom love to cook but still use an old hand-held mixer. Thanks for the drawings you hold regularly, Kevin – always lovely items, and none more lovely than this one.
Mary Alice says
I’d love to have it!!! and I love your blog!

I will put my name in for this mixer also. I’m not much of a cook, but I have a friend who would love this. Thanks for your generosity.
lynn furbish says
My daughter is the baker among us. She has made her kitchen décor orange, so what can I say….this would be a perfect birthday gift for her, if I luck out to be the winner!!
Cindy says
Lots of yummy recipes, now the hard part–choosing one to try!
Lori G. says
Summer vacation is done and doner! My hubby and I went to Colorado to visit my Mom and see some sites. We were there mere days before the Royal Gorge caught fire and burned up. Otherwise, summer plans include gardening (what else?) and enjoying my new Kitchenaid stand mixer in bright tangerine. 😉
Cecile says
I don’t have a standing mixer, just a hand held old standby. That orange hue would go well with my bright orange T-shirt and matching bandana. Your recipes are so luscious.
Cheryla says
Vacation time for us, is the fall! Fall is the best season! For us and for our dear doggies!
Robert Grunden says
Love your website… First got hooked looking for a vinegar solution to my landscape weeds. The white vinegar worked like a charm. Can’t wait to try some of the delicious recipes.
Carolyn Lawlor says
whole tangerines, tangerine juice, tangerine salad dressing, tangerine frosting, tangerine fruit salad – a tangerine mixer, PERFECT !!
Susan says
Oh my gosh, the tangerine is gorgeous, my kitchen is in all fiesta colors and this would fit in perfectly!! I would love, it. Any great ideas to keep mosquitoes away, they are so bad this year, we srayed with the fogger and alos put the granules all over and on top of that had afire going and tiki torches and citronella candles in buckets and they were still too bad to sit outside!
COBAYLEY says
Kevin
Your recipes and enthusiasm for what you do are appreciated. Not just by me, but by all that I share your articles with. I’d love a new stand mixer. Mine has many, many miles on it…but I’m sure it will keep on trucking…Thanks for all you do..
Linda says
I have been thinking about buying a stand mixer. This one would be BEAUTIFUL, in my kitchen.

My summer plans are to settle back into a gentle and open STAYCATION. With the Texas heat, I plan to cool off at the association’s pool and keep my patio jungle as vibrant and healthy as I can.

Oh I would LOVE this as I do not have a mixer! The bread recipe is makin me drool on my keyboard. Well so is the donut one, oh and the choc cake too. And and and…
Patty Gaspar says
I took your dare and read your cream cheese frosting recipe. My favorite part is “scrape down the bowl with a red spatula…” Color is everything isn’t it?
That’s why this kitchen aid is so spectacular!
Kathleen Julson says
I’ve wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer for ages. After looking over you’re recipes, I really feel the need for one. Keep those yummy recipes coming!
Nadine says
I have the biggest garden I’ve ever had so I’m watching it and weeding and enjoying it. Then I have a lot of new native plants in my yard to help provide for native pollinators. I am part of a dance troupe, and we are gearing up for a performance in a couple of weeks, so we get together as often as we can to polish up. Cooking up my fresh veggies is a challenge due to a busy schedule, but I do what I can.
Sharon says
LOL. My “vacation plans” consist of supervising the construction of “Daddy land”, a senior-friendly apartment build out in my attic, complete with walk-in whirlpool tub, open floor plan, and walk-in/roll-in closet for him and a chair lift for the stairs to get him up there. My Dad is going to be 90 in Jan. and has the beginnings of Alzheimer’s so he can no longer live alone and coming to live with me is the optimal solution right now. So I’m housebound with the contractors and cooking is my only escape!
Evelyn says
Cheers to the sweet tooth!!!! Absolutely love frosting.
Lauryn says
That brilliant sunset orange is beauteous indeed. Think of all the wonderfull things I could make with that mixer……
Laura Elliott-Ross says
Gimme that mixer please!

We visited Washington DC with my 11 yr old this summer and he had an amazing time.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this wonderful mixer. Tangerine? What a cool color!
Christina Pearson says
I just love it when I see an email from A Garden for the House in my inbox!
My hubby is the cook in our house….boy wouldn’t he be surprised if I won this mixer?!
We’re headed to Cincinnati later this summer for a long weekend – we’ll take in a Reds game (I’m a loyal fan), visit the Findlay Market, the zoo/botanical gardens and maybe a brewery or two!
Karin says
yes,great give a way,can picture it on my counter now.
Leslie Stewart says
Baking is my thing, would love a new kitchen aid mixer.
Jan Jacklin says
It would be the best to make Swiss Meringue Buttercream Frosting….Decadent Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies……or Sunshine Cake….I am so there….
Linda King Pruitt says
Oh my lands! A tangerine Kitchen Aid! It would make me smile every time I came into the kitchen. Your blog makes me smile every Sunday, by the way.
Susan says
Love your site. Just tried your Angelic Zucchini Fritters. Marvelous!
Angela Despain says
Love your site and the wealth of knowledge. I have a Kenmore stand mixer, but it’s not as nice as the Kitchenaide. I’d love to have a ‘real’ brand. 😉
Julsie1231 says
Kevin, you can freeze your raspberries and use them to turn Greek yogurt into ice cream! Just one cup each frozen fruit and Greek yogurt in your super blender and hit the ice cream button. Voila, the best soft serve ice cream for healthy eating. Ice sometimes use chic milk and frozen berries too. Yummalucious!
Karen gryb says
I LOVE your website…!!! I look forward to it, and I use the recipies often….I have also wanted a kitchen-aid mixer for a long time…cooking is my passion…,,,but have not been able to justify the expense…thank you so much for the opportunity to try for one!!!
Carol says
As my husband plans to head off on his annual Harley ride with his 2 sons, I plan to redecorate come August. I Can’t wait, I will be bringing in the antique Hoosier, the treadle sewing machine, the 1910 stove and setting up a colorful and old fashioned pantry. With the new flooring, new paint and a bit of creative decorating, washing clothes will be ever so much more enjoyable. If I win the mixer, then on to the kitchen,…..
Teresa Sopher says
A Tangerine Dream! Next time you come to Charleston, just drive up to Beckley and I`ll cook for you!

Tangerine is perfect for my kitchen. This workhorse would free up my time to do some much needed work in my garden. Love your gardens.
Holly C says
Hoping to spend many afternoons in my bean and cucumber covered teepee that is guarded by giant sunflowers. Just sitting, daydreaming, listening to bees and hummingbirds, gathering strength for the fall harvest.
CheyAnne says
Oh my goodness, of course I clicked ‘like’. I love this newsletter and would love the chance to win one of these. I’ve always wanted one and I will have one so, it would be really sweet to know I won it. And I adore tangerine orange too, so how perfect. Thank you so much.

This mixer all I can say is Yummy!
Ann Prospero says
I’ve made many mistakes in my life. One bad one was giving my Kitchen Aid stand mixer to my daughter when I moved to NC. Boy, do I miss it. I would love to win it and will take great care of this beloved kitchen helper. And I need it now more than ever since I’m becoming more disabled with multiple sclerosis.
Deena says
My summer plans have been taken over by my garden and greenhouse. Our warm weather has caused my garden to be super productive. I have lots of picking, canning and freezing to do.
Joyce Vanderlinden says
Kevin: I enjoy your blog. Especially enjoyed the renovation on your home. I’m excited to enter the KitchenAid giveaway contest. Keep up the good work!!
Angela says
Our house is renovated and completely Tommy Bahama..the orange on the mixer is the accent color I have used throughout the kitchen/family room area..maybe I’d bake more if I could have that on my counter!! Absolutely love A Garden for the House! Thank you and keep em coming!
anne says
Thank you for your generosity.
Mary Leach says
Your food and garden pictures inspire me. I also love the house pictures. My husband and I started a restoration project of an old farmhouse, but had to move before we finished. I can look at your house pictures and imagine what the finished project might have been like.
Eileen says
What a fantastic color for this generous giveaway! I bought a pullman pan to make bread in because of your post but haven’t done it yet…too hot here right now! Thanks for inspiratin and have a great day

Lyn says
I know it is random but I will say that I will be celebrating 40 years of marriage, including cooking for my family, and I have NEVER had a stand mixer. A little hand mixer has been part of my kitchen. I’m on my second one. The first, a wedding gift, finally quit and I had to purchase a new one. If I were to win your giveaway, I would be thrilled. There are, however, young families that could use it more, I’m sure. I enjoy your Sunday letters! Thanks!
Maggi says
Were you there for the 150th birthday celebration? It was amazing. My sister lives there and I visit often from Kansas.
Dyhana says
ooh, I would love it! And I love color, too!
Garry says
I would love to win this kitchen Aid mixer as I don’t have one and have always wanted one.
Anne says
I would really enjoy putting this great mixer to good use. Really enjoy your newsletter. I get lots of ideas and practical help.
Hilary says
I stumbled on your site searching for non toxic week killer. What I found was a plethora of wonderful information so I subscribed right away. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. Oh, and the mixer would be nice. 🙂
Garden Coach Karen says
Form, Fit, Function – the Tangerine Kitchen Aide would work beautifully to fill all three. My accent wall is orange, my old hand mixer is not functional for what I need and I have the space in my life/kitchen for a great new tangerine stand mixer to make delicious treats for my friends and family.
Theresa says
I don’t really have vacation plans, because my husband and I just retired to a small farm in southeast WV. I’m completely immersed in putting in a new garden, harvesting great fresh foods, and freezing & canning. Having a great time. And every day feels like a vacation in the beautiful place where we live. Your blog is filled with great info to encourage me in the garden and in the kitchen. Thanks!
Kathy Munn says
Too much rain here in Tennessee! And no end in sight! Would love to conjure some magic and send it to those areas that desperately need it. Wouldn’t that be nice?
Heading north to visit friends and relatives in New England. Hectic and wonderful to catch up with everyone.
Would be lost in the garden without your site. Look for it every week.
Blender would be a lovely 46th anniversary gift to me. And my husband would so appreciate it!!
Thanks for all the time and energy you put into your blog.
Susan in MI says
{repared the strawberry souffle using a hand mixer. It was devine!

theresa Weindl. says
Love your website Kevin.I am a passionate gardener and creative cook. Since I am getting older ,having an appliance like like the KITCHEN AID would simplify my time in my kitchen a lot.
Steve says
I would love to win this mixer. I’ve been wanting to try my hand at a souffle, or a fluffy butter cream icing. Our current stand mixer is a hand-me-down that is on its last legs. With this I could also try my hand at sausages. I recently got some organic flour from Greenwillow Grains that I’ve been wanting to try in some various recipes. But due to my dodgy mixer, I’ve been having to do much of the mixing by hand. Thank you for all the wonderful yummy recipes and ideas!
Michelle says
My favorite Sunday morning read!!! I feel as though I’m tagging along (drink in hand!) while touring your beautiful gardens and home. Thank you for the visual treats, and great recipes! Oh how I’d love to win!

Chris Moreno says
Pick mine, pick, mine.

Love your site! The posts are interesting, informative, and beautifuly photographed. I will be heading to Florida for vacation, a real vacation. Very excited, Universal Studio, Aquadica (a water park), and some place that is a zip-line park. I hope you and yours have a great summer,
Heather says
My Kids call me the “Homemade Momma” as all their friends have prepackaged foods, and they have the homemade goodies(which they prefer). They have been without a lot of treats lately as our mixer has passed away. I made the mistake of letting my husband talk me into a cuisinart, after our old faithful Kitchen Aid (15+years) needing replacing a few years ago. I am a Kitchen Aid Girl!
Sue Miller says
My sister-in-law has a Kitchen Aid Artisan and just loves it. The color looks more like butterscotch, tho.
Bill Watson says
I’m going to try my hand at bread making. I have some recipes I want to try, and this mixer would be a great help.
Karen Long says
I’m so excited to see this giveaway! My daughter is just starting out in her own home and is finding it hard to cook without my KitchenAid…so this would be a great surprise for her. Thanks for the offer!
Judy says
A friend of mine has a Kitchen Aid (hers is red) and uses her ice cream freezer attachment to make the best gelato I’ve ever had!
Jason says
It is so awesome of you to do these drawings!
Laurie Dimino says
As I read this weeks blog post I am sitting out side my “new” vintage trailer on the patio, glamping at home. She’s a 1975 14foot Dutch Craft, and I just spent the last month “re-doing” her. I am in heaven! Thanks for the great Blueberry Smoothie recipe…actually going to try that a little later today, as it is HOT here on Long Island today!
Thanks too for the chance to win that beautiful mixer!!!
susan says
I NEED THIS!!!!!!
Jennifer says

Loraine Pross says
Tangerine – what an awesome color :-). We have MANY Kitchen Aid appliances (brushed silver if you please) – but our daughter REALLY needs to get started on HER collection! This would be just perfect for her.
We are new to the site – but will surely be regulars after this.
Kris Fox says
Since the rain and the mosquitos are keeping me out of the garden for weeks (not days!) on end, I would love a spiffy new tangerine Kitchen Aid mixer to cheer me up and put a little color in the kitchen, if not the itch’n!
Psn says

BETTY CODY says
Well, I finally reached the ripe old age of 70. But weird things are happening. For instance, the 4th I went to the store, and when I got back home and turned on my computer, and could not find my mouse. I looked all over the house twice. I am going crazy, because my computer and I are best buds. Well, eventually I found it. IN MY PURSE!. Well, that’s just being 70. Love your recipes.,
Judy Tolbert says
Kevin, I LOVE this site, and I am most definitely going to make the delicious looking granola tomorrow. Thanks for offering a mixer to win!

Linda says
These are wonderful machines. What a joy it would be to own one!
Dianne Berry says
One of favorite things on Sunday is to read your blog. Love all the recipes and gardening tips. I am on the board of a Victorian museum home so all you go through when you take the house to its original state is so wonderful. Would like to have the Kitchen Aid Tangerine mixer sounds divine and would be so fun to make breads and wonderful treats!

Bob says
I love baking bread, cookies and cobblers. I use a bread machine for bread and I have a nutrimill to mill fresh organic flour for my baking. Currently I borrow my daughter’s stand mixer when I do cookies so I would love to have one of my own
Kathy says
Sure would beat my hand mixer! No pun intended, lol. Thanks for the give away Kevin and all the yummy receipes.
teresa alltop says
I,m new to your website, but I really like it and your recipes. I have always wanted this type of mixer but could never afford it. I’m semi-retired because of health and I have a condition where eating certain foods cause severe pain. Everything has to be natural ingregients, etc. So I’m learning to make my own bread, juice, salad dressing, you name it, I’m trying to make it. So this mixer would really make my life easier. Thank you for all your info on your website.
grace says
i live in the desert in an old rickety 1970’s trailer and have acquired my daughter’s herd of Nigerian Dwarf Goats. in a couple weeks i’ll begin making cheese, yogurt, etc and came her to look at your recipes for the mozzarella at the suggestion of an online friend and through Valarianna. went on through fritters and spinach and beans, all wonderful because of
your love of ingredients at least, and then got to the ricotta, OH and read to save the
whey for breadmaking…BRILLIANT as i do not have a pig…and then, for the first time
EVER i will put my name into the hat for this Tangerine dream….
you are just Great. Thank You!
Laura Redmond says
Kevin. Thanks for your ideas and recipes

Ann says
I just cut back a bunch of borage that was overtaking my onion patch, dug the onions to cure, and cut back the calendula, which was very leggy. And it’s really hot here! (maryland) Thanks for putting up such a nice prize – hope I win.
Gail says
Love following you, you have some amazing posts!

I could make that yummy chocolate layer cake you shared the recipe for above. If I only had that Kitchen Aid standing mixer in a glowing shade of tangerine. I love to bake but I can not afford to purchase a mixer so nice. Please pick me.
Lisa says
I truly enjoy getting your weekly newsletter! I find your information helpful, your recipes scrumptious, and your house gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!

Kat says
I have an Oster mixer that I got from my Mom, that she got in the mid 1980s. It’s a fantastic workhorse but not up to the level of a KitchenAid. I’ve been salivating over KitchenAids for years, but haven’t had the opportunity to get one.
Carol Ellis says
Kevin I love you darling!! Let’s have some diabetic decadent recipes!! Quite a challenge, heh????? Are you up to up???? LOL! !!
Mrs. Handyverger says

Lu Biery says
Kevin, I really enjoy your blog! Summer is such a busy time w/ all that there is to do outdoors, but I always find time to check your website! And now I’m off to the kitchen to make your chocolate cake w/ milk chocolate frosting with my KitchenAid HAND mixer!! ; )
Peggy :Lupo says
Kevin:
I am one of your biggest fans, I share your website with everyone I know. Fabulous, fabulous.
I live in coastal Sonoma County, Ca. The incredible heat here (which has now broken) was great for my vegetables which always come n slower than inland. Thanks for all you do for we fanatic gardeners!
Carol M says
A tangerine mixer would bring a little more color to my kitchen with all black appliances & a black sink..
Arlene says
I don’t cook much in the summer since I am by myself. Maybe that cute tangerine mixer would get my cooking juics going! A blueberry smoothie sounds really yummy about now!
Risa says
We spend all summer at the lake on our beautiful boat. I love your blog!
Risa
Michelle says
I bake for my family all of the time. It’s been a little less lately since we are preparing for baby number 5. This mixer would be a welcome addition to our household to help mix up something special to welcome baby home!! :0) Oh, the things I could mix!!
Lynne Hammes says
I am just dreaming of all the recipes this will open up for me (and mine).
Peggy Herron says
I would love to make that yummy looking chocolate cake with my new tangerine Kitchen Aid Standing Mixer/ I just started reading your website, having found it from a Facebook friend who lives near Hunter Mountain.
I am drying lavender that I cut yesterday for your lavender shortbread cookie.
I have to research how long to dry the flower buds before can cook with them.
Mercy says
I’m aching to try the pain de mie and the Victorian sponge cake and … well, EVERYTHING! This is NOT the website to visit while on a diet!
Maybe that’s why I love visiting!
Ellen Peavey says
I could make the brownie cake so much faster with that beautiful tangerine stand mixer, it sure beats the wire whisk I’m using. Got the garden in just waiting for all the green tomatoes to turn red, and the peppers to get bigger. Lost all of the melons to all of the rain we have had here in north east Georgia. Thanks Ellen from Georgia
Nancy van Ginkel says
Kevin: Fell in love with your blog, we seem to have lots in common. From the old Victorian home, to a love of gardening, cooking, and baking. Have tried lots of your recipes and have had great success.
Don’t know if you ship to the Canadian East Coast, but would love to have a new mixer, the old one has seen her day, and I love, love, love the color 🙂
Nancy
Ann says
The mixer is at the top of my wish list and would make the kitchen work a lot easier. I am teaching my great-granddaughter to cook as well as garden. Your site has wonderful information for that purpose.
Constance Clark says
Wow! Very cool give away Kevin! That would be lovely to have, since I have to do everything by hand and my wrists are hurting faster these years.
The garden is doing alright. I gave up on the lettuce and spinach, going to try doing them indoors as it is WAY too hot here in Sacramento. My tomatoes and tomtrillo (sp) are doing really well, Squash are blooming and some are dieing….corn not sure about those yet……
Anthony says
My daughter will love this color !
She will just melt at the sight of her new mixer 😉
Keep the passion alive Kevin, thanks !
Rick Polenek says
LOVE the tangerine! And love your recipes!

I love Kitchen Aid Mixers!
Our family took our big summer vacation during the month of June. We traveled to Oklahoma, Minnesota and Illinois to visit children and grandchildren. Ice cream seemed to be the treat of choice at each place – Braum’s in OK, Flapdoodle in MN, and Spotted Cow in Illinois. It was Wonderful!!! (visiting AND the ice cream 🙂 )

Leslie Thistle says
This is a beautiful mixer in any color but this one would be the most fun!
Maka says
As my mixer died a few years back and all mixing has been by hand, this beautiful bright Kitchen Aid mixer would be a very welcome addition to my kitchen. Tell Gary and Gary thank you for being so kind and you too Kevin for the chance to win such a great appliance. Very appreciated.
Angela Creais says
Lots of company coming over the summer! Must bake!! xo
Karen Hellmuth says
I recently bought a house, it’s a real fixer upper and our “studio” has a second kitchen in it. The entire design of that studio is very retro seventy-style. Light green walls, some flower decals. white cabinets. You should see the yellow-greenish counter tops it came with and yellow bar stools. I use all different color Le Creuset pots to make if fun. The Tangerine color would go well with the theme. Oh and the things I would be able to do with this mixer …
Debbie R. says
Dreamsicle Orange…..oh la la! What I could do with this marvelous piece of kitchen equipment. Your blog is awesome! Pick me, pick me.

Seeing this gorgeously colored mixer reminds that I need to drag out my older, drab one and start mixing up some goodies. What a generous giveaway. Love your blog; I take away so many great ideas.
jo says
I look forward to your weekly updates, and I marvel at how you can accomplish so much with all you have to do with the house and garden. I am retired and it takes me all day to concentrate on one area.
Anna says
My holiday plans involve… gardening. And sailing in Sweden. I’ve never been to Sweden, so I’m very curious.
Because of food allergies I usually bring most of my food on holiday. Maybe the mixer can help me prepare 🙂
Michelle Sparks says
I used to have a Kitchen Aid Mixer, but in all my moves I had to leave it behind. I really need one now. Thanks for offering one for free.

I always wanted a Kitchen-aid Stand Mixer, but . . I lost ‘most’ of my vision to glaucoma and now I will never be able to afford one. If I were to win this mixer, why, I’d whip up some yummy dessert and have it delivered to the Soup Kitchen so I too could pay it forward.
LOVE my walk with you on your garden tours 🙂

Wow that mixer screams summer! How fun and it would match my fiestaware beautifully. My vacation is finished-we took a week long camping trip with the kids and dog to Yosemite. It’s been HOT here in California so indoors with the AC on seems to be the mood this last week.
Amy says
Love the recipes and the gardening tips! Thanks for the chance to win such a wonderful kitchen tool!

This soon to be 69-year-old grandmother of soon to be 13 grandchildren has never had an amazing mixer like this. Afraid I have done my baking the old-fashioned way and would love to step into the 21st-century! Enjoy your lovely pictures and your detailed instructions.

Been trying to win this mixer on many sites. I am allergic to wheat flour and my little mixer is getting slower. I hope the random site picks me!! Crossing fingers x_
Julie says
Summer vacation? Who has time for that when there’s a new tangerine Kitchenaid Stand Mixer on the counter and mouth-watering recipes to try?! Not to mention tending to the garden… first year in our home – radishes were awesome (just the right heat) – beans, peas, cucumbers, 4 diff tomatoes – can’t wait to harvest the black cherry tomatoes! Rhubarb is looking great (for next year) – not sure about the blueberries. Thanks for all the recipes, gardening tips, and how-to’s!
Leslie says
Just a mini beach vacation to watch my son play baseball in a summer tournament.

Yesterday was spent with my sister and cousins, seeing our grandparents’ old home in East Elmhurst, NY…a place we have not seen in 50 years. We all fondly remembered our Christmas Eve gatherings there with a big Christmas tree, pepparkakor cookies, and ghost stories around the breakfast room table. It was a lovely day, and one item fulfilled from my sister’s bucket list!

I have enjoyed watching the plants I started last March in their milk carton greenhouse flourish in the garden. I am excited to do it all again next winter, this time with the benefit of experience.
Alice Fish says
Well July 11 is our 49th wedding anniversary and I attribute my love of cooking for my hubby and family as one of the reasons our marriage has lasted. I know it’s old – fashioned to say that the way to a person’s heart is through the stomach, but it has worked for me! Secondly, I love ORANGE!
Marilyn Foster says
My faithful old white KitchenAid mixer has been working hard in my kitchen for the past 30 years and she’s definitely showing her age. If I win this sweet tangerine baby, I’ll be able to buy a drawerful of attachments and start some serious playtime in the kitchen! I can taste the homemade ice cream, zucchini relish & bread right now. Bring it on!
Thanks for your blog and zany sense of humor. I always read your site first thing in the morning and you definitely brighten many of my days!
Maggie Lyczak says
I love your blog! Where do you find the time to do everything? Gardening and working in the kitchen, my two favorite things in life. I have an old Kitchen Aid from the 60’s. I sure would love to have a brand new one!

I enjoy your newsletter very much and it has inspired me to lay out new gardens in the yard.

Thanks for all of your tips, recipes and inspiration.
Karen in Arkansas

Summer plans: working 2 jobs plus a 3 week house-sitting gig. Someone has to keep the home fires burning while others are away on vacation, right? Might as well be me.
Cate hesser says
Absolutely LOVE that orange color! Trying to stay home and stay cool for the rest of the summer – traveled too much already! Need to garden, grill, bake & cook some more.
Mary Mac says
It’s raining again here in the mitten state. We were able to get our hay bought for the year in between rains! Good for my gardens, bad for hay farmers and my husbands job. He works in water and sewer lines construction. Can’t work when it’s raining.
I finally got all my milk jug plants in the ground. Probably a little late for some. Oh well. Not like I don’t have more than enough:) Thankyou for the idea of winter sowing. I had about 50/50 % success. But it saved me tons by not having to buy plants. And…really looking forward to my new MIXER;);) Have a Great Day!
Shirley Kelln says
An awesome mixer, I always seem to stop and look at the mixers while shopping at Bed, Bath & Beyond; however, not workable in my budget….so would love to win the orange mixer. 🙂
Susan says
Hi Kevin,

Summer plans for our family are staying close to home this summer. We have a bigger garden, which we are enjoying this year and this is our first year of composting, so we are learning a lot. We will spend lots of time around our fire pit in the evening and enjoy the hammock under the trees in the daytime. We hope to sneak in some camping and will definitely go on hikes in our beautiful state of Oregon. We may not be going on vacation, but are blessed to have what we do have.
Verilee Herpich says
Well, I’ve had my Sunbeam Mixmaster since 1974, and she has served me well. I would love to replace her with this tangerine beauty! I promise to share my Orange Kiss Me Cake with you if I’m chosen and the recipe with all! It’s a favorite that was handed down from my Mom. Also you have posted this on my son’s 37th birthday and I could pass my old mixer on to him.
Vacation plans? I’ll be right here, caring for the garden, freezing fruits and veggies, canning tomatoes and salsa, curing garlic and sneaking out some tiny potatoes. and enjoying my many furry housemates and feathered coop friends.
Sandy says

jean harrison says
That tangerine color is beautiful and I could really use a new mixer!
Rosalie Romano says
Kevin,
I am off work for the summer and am finally able to take time for all the inspired recipes and garden tips you offer on your delectable blog!!!
The chive pesto is dreamy, especially spread on baguette slices, then with a slow roasted tomato to top it, adding a sprig of fresh chive stem. Lovely and delicious.
The garlic scape and white bean dip turned out to be a hit for a dinner party on the deck. Creamy and aromatic, the garlic scapes offered a mild adventure and foil for the smooth smooshed beans.
The chive vinegar is simply a work of art! Pink and vibrant in the jar, when mixed with olive oil and fresh herbs, it matches mesclun/goat cheese/beet green salad perfectly.
Waiting for local tomatoes to come into season so I can make that luscious tomato tart from last summer. I must have had a dozen requests to bring that tart to picnics and parties. Wow!
Thank you for the many gems of photos, wit, ingenuity and inspiration!!! Your fond fan, r2
Jean Dowling says

Nora McDowell says
I love your your website and your give-aways are wonderful.
I remember when my trusty stainless steel upright dies and I took it to the appliance repairman who gave us the bad news. He said “You will not be happy with anything but a Kitchen aide. So be it.
Maxine says
I’ve been watching my father put his KitchenAid through its paces for years…. He didn’t start \baking until after he retired, but now routinely whips up sweet buns, cakes, eclairs and other indulgences. I’d be more likely to use it for gluten-free treats, but a stand-mixer is definitely on my “life list”… (By the way, Kevin, I just decanted my second round of chive-blossom vinegar made with the flowers from the younger, later-blooming clumps…. Almost time to start in on the lemon-herb vinegars; I have lemon-thyme, lemon-balm and lemon-verbena this year….)
Joanne Halter says
A standing mixer has been on my wish list for a long time. Enjoy your newsletters and have tried lots of the recipes you share.

I’ve used a little hand mixer all my life so a big girl model like the Kitchen Aid you are giving away would be quite a new experience I’d be willing to give a whirl. Or, maybe it would being a gift for the next grandchild wedding. I laughed my way through your ‘Swoothie’ post. 350 pounds, indeed! Lily the Beagle and Camille made my day. Thank you, Kevin, for your most enjoyable blog.

I owned a mixer back in my 20s but didn’t ccok much. I have no idea what became of it but I don’t recall having one since that time. I’m now gardening and cooking more at home and have been thinking I need to get one. Several friends have the KitchenAid mixers but not that fabulous shade of tangerine! I may have to remodel my kitchen if this cooking passion continues! Marble tops, stainless steel, magnetic knife strips… oh yeah!
Love the newsletter! Well-planned and displayed!
Carmella Fatland says
Kevin, I can’t tell you how much I love your website!

I would LOVE to win this mixer; my mom had a “stand” mixer when I was a kid; she was always baking from scratch. I have hand held mixers; when they stop working, I buy another one; they cost about $20. The tangerine color is beautiful, and would look SO NICE in my kitchen; I would gladly send a picture of the mixer in my kitchen!! I truly enjoy your website, and have lerned a lot. It inspires me to work, even if for only a few minutes, in my garden. Thank you for providing such a beautiful site. Sincerely, Carol Belvedere; Staten Island, New York

Heidi says
I’m thrilled to say I’ve already enjoyed 2 trips this summer. A weekend in Vegas and a jaunt from Cali into the Pacific Northwest helping to move a friend into Washington State. In Vegas we went to see Cirque de soleil ‘O’ a definate must see. Fantastic acrobatics and synchronized swim. While there we visited with friends Lenny and John. Lenny was turning 50 and we enjoyed his birthday with him, first visiting the Lion Ranch Habitat then South Point Casino, ending the day with a fantastic meal at the OSAKA bistro all in Henderson, Nv. Yesterday I just returned from a road trip taken with 2 longtime friends. We traveled the I-5 to Vancouver, BC. Each of us had relatives that we enjoyed visiting with at different stops along the way. The scenary was beautiful and the people friendly. We spent the 4th of July watching fireworks on the shores of Bellingham, Wa. after a 10PM sunset.

We have already made our summer trip. Went to Bruges in Belgium and stayed at the wonderful
L’Orangerie hotel where the breakfast was recently voted Best in Belgium. Bruges is a fantastic mediaeval city, wonderful for walking around and biking in. Fabulous restaurants serving mussels and beer – great combination.
We visited Passchendale, Ypres and heard the Last Post which is sounded every night at the Menin Gate since 1927. On the Gate we found my husband’s Great Uncles name, Lewis Green, one of 56, 000 unburied young soldiers whose names are inscribed on the Gate. Unbearably sad.

Hi,I am new to this blog.Last night I was really depressed since my husband just lost his job and I was surfing the Internet to find a reasonable mixer so I can start baking and earn some money to support my family.Baking is my passion but I was diagnosed with severe Arthritis in both my hands so I had to cut back on my baking because I use to do all my mixing with my hands,so while surfing I came across this blog and saw this vibrant color mixer which made me start smiling again hoping that I might get a chance to win this mixer free and honestly I feel that my prayers will be answered if I am lucky enough to win this mixer.
Kay says
That has GOT to be the most gorgeous thing ever! I always thought I wanted a RED one but WOW, My hands are getting so I can’t knead anymore and this would make my husband very happy – I could make bread more often.

Well, I’m spending the summer growing herbs and making my own line of healing salves. The first was to celebrate the Summer Solstice, and the second to soothe sorrow.

This is on my bucket list of to get before I die..so this give away is just perfect. Wonderful color!!!
Jann Walter says
Just got back from the Lake of the Ozarks! Weather was great, the 90’s have set in for this week though. The mixer would be an awesome addition to my yellow & orange kitchen(Sunflower accents)! It would be great to use with all my winter sowing (36 milk jugs)veggies, edibles and herbs.
Thanks for your emails and help.
God Bless,
Jann
Jaycee says
Hi Kevin,
We’ll be doing a staycation. Fixing up the house and enjoying the yard while we can! Looking forward to the bounty of summers harvest! That mixer would be awesome for making an ape pie or a lemon meringue! I’ve never made one of those before. Maybe that mixer could help! Thanks for all your lovely weekly inspiration!

Hi Kevin,
Our summer has been busy and will be thru September! We are part of a group that plans, organizes and promotes a bluegrass festival the 2nd weekend in June in northern Indiana. It was a huge success, and a lot of work. Next we are having family from the east coast in for a july 20th family get together. If that wasn’t enough, we leave for a 2 1/2 week trip to Alaska in August, then go to Minnesota for a wedding.
I love to make bread- haven’t bought any store bread for probably 2 years now. My husband’s favorite is seeded rye… I enjoy your newsletters and admire your gardens.
All the best to you!!
Ellie
Kathy says
Brought my niece and sister over to pickle beets. We made 18 pints and this is after I made 20 pints one month ago. Now if only the tomatoes would ripen I would be able to make pizza sauce and then use that mixer for pizza dough. YUMM!
Deborah Rogers says
Some of our best vacations are “staycations”, especially now when money is tight. I love that beautiful stand mixer, and would love to see what wonderful dishes I could make with it if I win. It would certainly make the time at home more fun and productive.
Nadira says
I am the 1023rd contender for the mixer! Ther’e will be as many more I bet. Good luck all.
Jan Bach says
Just got back from the UP of Michigan. Lovely weather all week, but the bugs were plentiful. 🙂

A wonderful mixer in the color of my favorite fruit what could be better?

Thanks.
julie close says
Love reading all your articles on gardening.
Saved my milk jugs and tried the winter
sowing for the first time. I think we had a
medium success rate. Will try again next
year. Love the Kitchen Aid brand.
Christine says
Kevin, please choose me to win – I’m trying all your recipes and they would be much more delicious, if made completely your way!!! I’m a senior and cannot afford one of these without a little help from my friend!

Thanks for the chance to win the beautiful KitchenAid mixer!
It is nice to see milk chocolate frosting instead of the trendy (and I know-healthier!) dark chocolate. My favorite frosting is milk chocolate.
David says
MMMMMMMMM…………
Raised Doughnuts with Orange Cognac Glaze.
Lennett says
Thank you for the opportunity to have a chance to win a wonderful mixer. It will make mixing so much easier.
Opal says
Since the purpose of a vacation is to relax and unwind, my everyday life is a vacation now, as I am spending it outside in the garden growing fresh vegetables, enjoying the cooling breezes, listening to the birds, and then joy of joys having fresh just picked vegetables on my dinner plate.
Faith says
I have always wanted one of these & the pretty colors always have caught my eye.
Mona Tammaro says
I love your website and your tips and recipes. The giveaways are a cherry on top. Thanks for the opportunity to win this fabulous mixer.

I enjoyed my winter seeding and I’ll be planting them this fall in the garden.
Thanks
Revenda` says
I love mine and would love to be able to give one to my daughter-in-law who bakes and cooks for her 6 men in her family. Her husband, our son and their 5 boys love baked goods and desserts.
Mary Law says
Love your recipes, etc. Tomorrow my husband turns 80 and I will have to use my old hand GE mixer to make his birthday cake. It has worked since 1955. Every time I use it I think this will surely be the last time before it “konks” out. Would love to win your beautiful give-a-way.
Dawn Fischer says
We spend time camping in our. 5th wheel, we
traveled to Kentucky to a Nascar race.We also are camping with our children and grandchildren in mid- michigan. Love your website.
Elaine says
Wow! Just started a new job as a baker for a coffe shop….but alas we have no mixer at the bakery/coffe shop! A tangerine Kitchen Aide would be a Godsend! Thank you for the chance to win one! I absolutely love your blog, it makes me laugh out loud every week!!!
Patricia says
Would love to have this on my kitchen counter!!
Love your website. Learned so much about winter seed sowing!!
Kathy says
My mom used to have a standing mixer, back in the 50s. I’m on my third or fourth or maybe fifth hand mixer. I bake a lot and would love a standing mixer. Thanks for you site, with both gardening and cooking ideas!
Suzanne says
Love the orange. Need one so I can make marshmallows ♥
Pam says
Love the Tangerine color of the stand mixer! Have never owned one and often wondered if it might improve my baking (or at least speed it along). All the rain and humidity this summer has chased me inside and forced me to turn on the dreaded air conditioning. One good side effect is that it makes me want to bake more! Thinking of making your lavender shortbread cookies this week and then inviting some friends for iced tea on the porch. Really enjoy reading your blog…. the pictures bring me right in and your sense of humor is delicious. Keep it up!
Jen says
Summer vacation plans are trips to the beach, our nations capital, Georgia, an lots of day trips close to home 😉 I love the color of this mixer!
Kandace White says
Love my old KitchenAid.
Carol Durusau says
OOOH! That’s lovely. I’m waiting to hear.
Teri says
Thanks for your site. It is so informative, entertaining and yummy! I have enjoyed making many of the recipes and your site has helped me as I worked on creating our community garden at our library. Thank you for sharing your passion with us all!
Barbara Lewis says
This would make all of Kevin’s yummy recipes REAL easy to prepare when mixing is required. Clemson Orange…GO TIGERS
Jean says
What a wonderful give-a-way!!! Would love to win. Thanks, Kevin for all the great ideas, You rock!
Joanne says
Was out mountain biking through a forested and mountainous area and spotted a bloom of tangarine chanterelles today. Sautéed slowly with a bit of butter , yum!
Paulette says
Thank you for your mulching technique using newspaper. The flower beds where we used the newspaper and black mulch are still perfect. The one we hurriedly did (company was on their way) without the newspaper, only black mulch, has weeds popping through. Would love to win the Kitchen Aid Standing Mixer, the only question would be whether to make the Queen Victoria Cake or the Chocolate Layer Cake or the Strawberry Souffle or the……..oh so many wonderful choices.
Thanks for your great, inspiring ideas!
Robin says
I have one ,but my friend commented she would like one. I can’t afford to purchase her one so I’m hoping I will win her this little beauty.
Sheila says
Love the color!
Sharon says
Thank you for the giveaway 🙂
Cindy Marino says
Tangerine….didn;t know they made that colot BUT I will find a special place for it when I win it. Just love your newsletters!!! Can’t wait to read on how to freeze zucchini!
kathrin says
Me! Me! Me! Let it be Me! 🙂
Linda says
Wow! I see by the numbers of comments, your followers have definitely increased since I first started reading your blog. Must have something to do with your fun information, beautiful pictures, and good recipes! 🙂 So far this summer, 2 grandchildren have gotten married, and a family reunion coming up. The mixer would be a great addition!
jeanne says
I Love orange – even my bike is orange! I do not have a standing mixer and sure would appreciate one. Thank you for the chance 🙂
Sharon says
I would love to have this mixer. Just think of all the wonderful eats I could make! For my summer plans the grandkids come over most days and swim in my above ground pool. Every day is fun in the sun. My grandkids love to cook with me and at least once a week (every day if they had their way!) we are in the kitchen making something.
Thank you for your site. I love your recipes and photos.
Susan L. Espersen says
I am the queen of multi tasking, though it sometimes comes back to bite me (one can not fall asleep while ‘resting one’s eyes’ when 24 eggs are boiling for a huge plate of deviled eggs to greet company for the 4th celebration)! Fortunately, the eggs were on sale and the black charred circles at the bottom of the expensive pot dissolved! Whew! Am I cured? I should say not. With a stand mixer, I could do at least 3 other things while the 4th is mixing away all on its own! 🙂
gayle hajek says
Wow! Good luck everyone!!
Candace says
Amazing recipes
Marlene P says
I’d like to give it to my sister to match her new burnt orange and tangerine kitchen!
Kate says
Later this month, my mom, siblings and I will go to Hawaii to celebrate our dad’s life and scatter a small amount of his ashes under a sunset the color of that tangerine mixer.
Becky Hicks says
I would love to win one of this. Growing up my mother had a similar one and it was awesome!
Naomi Shelton says
Goll-EE, lots of responses! That mixer is coveted! I would love it, as I recently got rid of my stand mixer which was altogether too light-weight to do much of anything but maybe whipping cream. SO, I would so love to have that orange!! wonder!
Lil says
Just love the whole idea of Kitchen Aid mixers, but the tangerine absolutely takes it over the top. And like Opal, I’ve been in vacation mode since Spring & first put the spading fork to earth…
Kathleen says
Love your site, the recipes with wonderful pictures and explanations, and your friendly nature – it’s like hearing from a dear friend. Thanks for all you do.
Linda C says
Would love to try some of your beautiful recipes but hesitate to do so with the old hand mixer I have. I have looked at the Kitchen Aid many times but it seems like a luxury and there are always other priorities. Would love to win it. Love your site, Kevin, and look forward to it each week.
Suzie Peterson says
My husband is retiring at the end of July and we are treating ourselves to two weeks on Tybee Island, GA. We are very excited, as we have only spent a week there each year. Would love to win the mixer…love the color.
Joanie Murphey-Cope says
I have always wanted one of these but that tangerine color makes me want one even more! LOVE IT!
Robin L Gauvreau says
Love all the recipients you offer up. I’ve tried many with great success. I’ve all but given up baking because I’ve burned out every hand mixer I’ve ever had. It’s tough to get half way through a recipe and end up having to mix it by hand… things just don’t turn out the same way.
Love the website!! I hope my number comes up!
Robin
Laura Graham says
Kevin, I am having a real hard time choosing just one of your decadent recipe selections to make on the first day I receive my beautiful tangerine Kitchen Aid Mixer, should I be so lucky to win.
Terri Schmidt says
I’ve desired a Kitchen Aid Mixer for YEARS! I have a standard Sunbeam mixer that has a good bit of age on it with no fancy gadgets to attach.
I hail from north-central Maryland where it is HOT right now, but always beautiful with rolling hills and farmland in abundance.
Barb Ahlrichs says
That’s a lot of comments so far. I’d love to have a new Kitchen Aid mixer. I wore out the one I received in 1963 as a shower present and haven’t been able to replace it. I sure miss it. My small hand mixer just doesn’t do all those things a Kitchen Aid does. I’m hoping to visit Idaho this summer.
Rebecca Taylor says
I love, love that color. Have always wanted one of those wonderful mixers. I appreciate all of your advice on gardening and the wonderful recipes.
Tom B says
Summer plans??? To enjoy every day to its fullest!!! Also, trying to find a frosting that will hold up in heat!!!
Sylvia Wilson says
We’re having nothing but sunshine here in Surfside Beach, SC…the mixer reminds me of that! ☼ Love the yellow!! 🙂 I love to cook and try all your fabulous recipes. I also love the great tips you give on gardening!! Hope you’re enjoying your summer as much as we are. Sun on my skin, ocean breeze in my senses, a drink in my hand, and a good meal with the mixer that Kevin gave me!! 🙂 lol Life is Good, but God is Better!
Heidy W says
When summer finally arrives here in Oz I hope to take my baby girl to the beach. Get her feet wet and build a sandcastle, all the stuff I liked to do when I was little.
Brian Michaud says
Tangerine would look nice on my black countertops!!
Annie Berg says
I have an old white Kitchen Aid mixer. It has been used for baking and canning, sausage making and pizza dough. I have used it to make hundreds of cakes including my daughters wedding cake in 2009. I don’t think tangerine was even thought of back when I got mine.
Wesley Tyler says
what a great mixer!
Valerie says
No big vacation plans, but just a few days off by the lake before my sister’s wedding. Making a few cakes between now and then 🙂
Linda J says
Camping in the UP.
sue allen says
I miss my mixer. I used it so much while my kids were growing up. I made cakes for everyone and decorated them. The mixer was an awesome helper until it died. Because I have developed arthritis in my hands I can no longer use the hand mixer to make the icing and be able to decorate the cakes too. I have made so many doll cakes for little girls and football cakes for little boys. I have made wedding cakes for friends and family. The oddest cake I ever made was a coffin with raspberry filling and lilies on top. My friend’s son was turning 20 and she was having a “death of his teen years” for him. Like I said, it was odd… LOL… But then again so are some of my friends!! When I did the wedding cakes I usually did the flowers for the wedding too. No wonder my hands hurt.
I want to thank you for the lovely pictures you post.And to tell you that I so enjoy your email and the suggestions. I have used several and have told my husband about some of the garden suggestions to help him outside.
Thanks again!
Sue
Angelique Lloyd says
Love love love the color! I am in the process of choosing a color scheme for my kitchen remodel. If I win this, I may use that tangerine as my inspiration!
Also, it will be a nice replacement for my hand mixer, which has lost the ability to function on slow speed. It goes from “off” to “high” no matter what setting you actually put it on…..gets a little messy 😉
Lori O'Leary says
I’m sure you get this a lot, but I just LOVE your site! Thank you for all the wonderful recipes and your great sense of humor is sprinkled in just the right places 🙂 Summer finally made it to MN and the veggie garden is really taking off. We built 4 4×8 raised beds this year and the kale is especially happy. Enjoy your summer!
Joan says
Hi, I have had a KitchenAid for 20 years. It is old and I would love one of the new ones that don’t splash flour all over the counter when I add it! I bake a lot and so look forward to your drawing:) Good Luck to all!
Cynthia says
Ohhhhhhhh! This KA beauty would look tres cool in my – just relocated to San Francisco – apartment kitchen AND be a welcome replacement to my very old, very used, and very tired plastique hand held mixer. Thank you for sharing this beauty with some lucky follower!
Paula says
My goodness, that’s a lot of comments/entries! Looks like I’m lucky #1090! Great number. BTW, I just made your lavender shortbread yesterday. Delicious! Keep the recipes coming!
Jane Childs says
I have fun reading your regular newsletter standing on my head here, down under! Everything is topsy-turvey in Australia…..the seasons are opposite to yours, and so are many of your ideas Kevin! It is so good looking at everything from your perspective,,, nice change! Just saying……!
Diann MacRae says
Because of inertia and illness Lamium has escaped and proliferated throughout what was a pretty nice garden – this summer I work on eradicating it!!
sue roper says
my old mixer must be older than me (no joke!) and doesn’t have a bread hook, so what a fabulous mixer to have.
Arianna says
My son was 14 when I finally inherited my mom’s (circa late ’50’s) chrome Hamilton-Beech stand mixer. He was amazed that you didn’t have to hold the bowl! It’s died more than once and I can’t find anyone to fix it this time. I hope I win the Orange on the Range mixer!
Despina C. says
Hi Kevin
I love reading your very informative blog every Sunday.
My kitty Max looks like your Camille. My Max is a mackerel tabby.
Thanks again Despina
Michele says
Gorgeous color and fabulous machine! I need it!
Love your blog!
Pam E. says
I love your posts, especially seeing your beautiful home and gardens. I also enjoy your recipes. Youmight add a little kale or spinach to your blueberry almond smoothie for an extra healthy drink!
florrieusa says
Wonderful color! I love to read your reports.
Connie says
I would love to win this mixer then I can make more of your recipes. ps- I freeze my zukes the same as you. Makes life so easy and summer all year long.
Beth E. says
Love your blog and all of your useful tips and info! I just used my old mixer and said that I can’t wait to get a new mixer someday. Maybe this is my chance!
Bonnie says
I love your stuff and I have shared it with all my family members. Great recipes also. I have begin getting a green thumb with all your great tips. Thanks for taking the time to share with us all. I have bad luck so I hope someone that really needs this wins. Bonnie
Sunnieh says
That tangerine Kitchen Aid would go perfectly in this OSU (Oregon State University) household! Would assist with making all those game day delights too!
Susan B says
I just discovered your website a few minutes ago and love all your recipes. I can’t wait to use the beautiful tangerine Kitchen Aid mixer if you would be so kind as to pick me as a winner. Great website!!!!!!
Lynne Kuntz says
Love the color….have never owned a stand mixer but would love to have one!!!! Thanks for all the great recipes!
Dolisa says
I have never seen anything more beautiful in my favorite color!!
sharon hutchings says
I would love to win the tangerine Kitchen Aid mixer. It would be perfect in my new kitchen and my old, old version just bit the dust. I also want to commend you on your most useful and entertaining site, look forward to it always.
Thanks!
Barb says
Hi, What a happy color to have in the kitchen. Would whip up some of those wonderful recipes right now, if I had a new Kitchen Aid hands-free mixer. What wonderful newsletters. Thank you for each and every one of them.
Nancy MacArthur says
Hi Kevin…
I’m a fairly new reader of your newsletter and I just love it. I bake and cook by hand, so I can do without a mixer. However, I know some people that would really appreciate one. We have a small charity in town called “A Place Called Home”. It provides temporary emergency housing for men, women, children and/or families who find themselves suddenly homeless due to situations such as eviction due to a job loss and therefore shortage of rent, abused women and children seeking a safe haven, etc. It provides a safe, warm place to sleep, shower facilities, home made meals, a small play yard for the children, and assistance in getting back on their feet.I think they have space for about 22 people at a time. I’m sure the caring staff who prepare 3 meals a day for these residents would make great use of that beautiful mixer! Thanks for the opportunity to enter your generous giveaway!
Nancy
Sarah says
Love the food pictures, you know the saying “looks good enough to eat” I have got to try the cake recipes ( all of them )
~Cliffoflancing~ says
Regardless of the color I would love to have the mixer.
Lisa M. says
Wow, already so many comments!! You are one popular guy! I love reading your newsletter and dream of having an old house and garden of my own some day. My summer plans include a move later this month (ugh, no fun.) and some dog/house sitting for my friends while they are on vacation to the east coast. Maybe I’ll make it to the beach for a day or two this summer – after the move of course.
Thank you again for your great newsletter. I love your “picture by picture” instructions – they are extremely helpful!
Lisa
Sherry says
I have been following your blog and have fallen in love with everything you put on. Love your humor too. I just wish I had the outdoor space you have. Your gardens just seem to go on and on for ever! ANYWAY….I WOULD LOVE TO BE THE WINNER OF YOUR MIXER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deanna says
My summer vacation may be limited, but if possible I would like to go kayaking out at Ventura Beach coast.
Melissa Roper says
Love the look of all that cake XD Could do with a cake mixer given how much i like to eat cake hahaha. Lovely food.
Kara says
Hi Kevin,
Just wondering where you got your tea set and how long you’ve owned it! It is really fancy!! I recently just purchased two tea sets for my younger daughters. They get them out almost every day and play with them!! So cute!
Also, what’s your favorite tea recipe and how do you make it?
Thanks Kevin
Jamie says
My summer plans involve making fun memories with grand kids! This mixer would be great to have
Victoria says
My summer vacation plans involve random trips to the beach, dog walkies and maybe one trip home for a wedding. Wish I could say I was going to Ireland or something but for now things will be close to home and frugal. But still fun and beautiful and with maybe a delicious souffle now and then.
OR Suz says
Oh goodness, YES, prize me!
My dearest, dead Mimi’s mixer has served me more for sentimental purposes, and tho’ I love it so, having this beauty would make life much more easy (and I don’t think she’d mind me retiring hers by passing it off to a niece.)
Courtney says
That is a beautiful shade of tangerine!
Michele says
I would love to win and use it to make that strawberry souffle! That looks so delicious!!!
Danie says
Whew, finally made it to the end of the comments. Do I have the lucky number?!
Devon says
I could make so many great things with a mixer like that!
Carol Lapetino says
I love to bake bread — a Kitchen Aid would make that so much easier –plus I’d love to try all your delicious looking recipes. with it.
Katy Lamb says
I don’t have a mixer at all. Am using a whisk or a wooden spoon and boy do these old arms get tired. So am not baking as much as I would like. Winning this would be an answer to prayer!
Michael Reynolds says
What a great opportunity to get creative, thanks!
Trish Kennedy says
You had me at dough hook! This would make my braided egg bread so much easier to knead. 🙂
Eric Holman says
I’m sure my wife who is a great baker and cook would love this mixer. Hers is absolutely ancient. Plus the colour is tops. 🙂
Linda Blodgett says
Love the color. My Kitchen Aid was my mom’s and is the typical white color.
Esther says
My girls loves to bake so it will be a great gift for them.
Misty says
Loving being more plant based. Only one or two hurdles and I am where I’d like to be. I love playing with the recipes you post and getting inspiration for the land and gardens I have inherited from my grandmother. A woodlawn garden is in near future. Happy Mixing!!!
Peg says
How have I lived without a standing mixer?! I think I’ve gained weight just looking at the photos of your luscious desserts 🙂
My summer so far has been a combination of my job, graduations (3), weddings (2 so far, 1 to go) and gardening workshops (I’m a newbie) and planting/weeding my own garden. I’m taking a week in July to go to the beach for a little r&r, where I plan to catch up on some reading (gardening books and mags are on the list!) I’m enjoying your website/blog. Keep up the good work.
Bill says
I’ve had my KitchenAid for 40 years and it still works like new. My sister really wants one, so I’d love to give her my beige one while I start a new color scheme!
Caroline Karlsson says
Could it be possible for a person far far away in Sweden to participate in this competition?? I löööv the color.
Tina Thaw says
Have always wanted a mixer like this, and when you said you had just visited Charleston, WV I knew it was a sign I should enter. …take me home….country roads….missing my home state.
susan leonard says
kevin
I really like your website and would love to have the mixer to help with your wonderful recipes
Paula B says
mmmmmmmmmmmm food and to top it off a mixer! best gift ever!
Jackie says
I so enjoy your site..its been very helpful to me living back in NYS for the first time as an adult. Gardening is different here than the south, our homes are of about the same era, and your recipes make me look quite sophisticated to my family (tough for someone that is the youngest of 4! LOL). And, I’d love a pretty Tangerine colored mixer on my counter!
Virginia Mayer says
Love that orange!!! Would look so great on my counter!
Mary-Ellen Deschenes says
This would look awesome in my kitchen!
Karen says
Hi Kevin,
Thanks again for another great blog post! I am learning SO much from you! My garden thanks you, and so do I.
Karen R.
PS: Would love that mixer — so cute!
Dawn says
I would love to learn to use this beautiful mixer. I enjoy your email newsletter. Thanks.
Lindsay says
While I absolutely loathe the word “staycation”, that is exactly what my partner and I are doing this summer. Our second child is finishing high school over the summer, and has her first summer job. We’re nearly officially empty nesters. So we’ve decided to stay in town, clean house and change it up a bit (we’ve gone ‘shopping’ with our own stuff), and make plans for our future adventure – in a couple of years we’ll be heading east, watch out! 🙂
kisia shaw says
make this bread without? my husband has kidney disease
Manette Gutterman says
We went to our little fishing town in old Florida & it rained with torrential winds all week. Hoping to salvage summer somehow for the kids while the husband has to go back to work.
Jackie says
I love your emails! I love forward to receiving them! I can’t wait to try the Pain de Mie in a Pullman Pan. Thanks for the chance to win a stand mixer!! Keep those recipes and gardening tips coming!! Thanks!!
Margaret de Cubas says
My sister has this mixer and she loves it! Would love to have one too! Love your articles, keep them coming.
Elfrieda says
Isn’t it just great that these small appliances are available in such fabulous colors — that tangerine is a winner. Spending a few days with my son in PA and I’m feeling the heat even though I’m from Florida! I don’t have a mixer and that tangerine model would have pride of place on my counter.
Linda says
My husband would love that mixer – he’s a mean baker. I could send him the link to the Victoria Sponge recipe…I’ll even be so generous as to help him eat it! 🙂
Laurie says
Let us “make” cake!
Cindy Faulkner says
The ‘tangerine’ is great! Would love it.
Heidi says
my friend has the same mixer at her house…it’s so beautiful..thank you for the winter sowing tips…my tomatoes and cukes are so huge and hardy…I love your articles and your recipes…it really helps me with my gardens..I’m so new to all this.. 🙂
Kim says
I was hoping for a KitchenAid mixer as a wedding present so I can make some tasty artisan breads. Since I didn’t get one this would be a nice surprise.
Beth Brown says
I would absolutely love this mixer! The color reminds me of my nasturiums!
Beth
Melanie says
I love the KitchenAid mixer, you call it Tangerine orange, I call it University ot Tennessee orange…Go Big Orange!!
Wendy Borders says
Kevin, If I won this mixer I would make home made marshmallows every week! As it is, I have to borrow a stand mixer from a friend because you can’t make marshmallows any other way. I like to use Lyle’s Golden Syrup instead of Karo syrup even tho it is more expensive. Give it a try- home made marshmallow recipes are on YouTube and other places on the web. Fold crushed candy canes in at the very end- unbelievably yummy in hot chocolate!
-Wendy in Kansas City
Cristina says
This mixer would be a great addition to my kitchen… thanks for all your recipes, I love your blog.
Lisa says
Yummy yum yum
Jess C says
I’m in the middle of a kitchen remodel and need a bright, cheery mixer to cheer me up! We’re collecting all sorts of wonderful looking recipes… only another month or so until I can cook again.
Angie Mroczkowski says
I just stumbled upon this site and love it. I can’t wait to try some of your recipes especially the chocolate cake and bread! It would be much easier with the KitchenAid mixer!
linda says
That tangerine color would look perfect in my kitchen and I could take my old clunky mixer to the cabin.
richard says
This would so get me out of the doghouse!
Cherisse says
What a lovely giveaway! My husband would appreciate it alllllmost as much as I would. 🙂
Evelyn Scott says
Your website is all inspiring. Thanks for the opportunity to win this mixer I have always dreamed of. Thanks again, your flower farming friend, Evelyn
Leah says
I love the chance to win something! And would love a Kitchen Aid! I grew up watching my parents (Dale Thistle and Leslie Thistle) make dreamy concoctions with the one in the restaurant. It brings back memories just thinking about it. I really don’t know why I don’t own one. Maybe I will soon…
Madelaine W. says
I could get rid of at least 4 kitchen appliances and replace them with this lovely tangerine mixer if you pick me!
diana murphy says
WOW!
Vesta I says
This summer has been a hot one here in the east . We down size our home last year so working this summer on landscape and new gardens at our new much smaller home and find your articles very helpful, thank you.
isabella warner says
would love to have one
Marie says
I’ve never had a Kitchen Aid mixer and always wanted one. Even more than just a mixer, you can get a sausage making attachment, pasta making attachments, and so on. Beautiful color, which will accent my cobalt blue cookware
isabella warner says
would love to have one i could do so much more than with my hand mixer
Lou KUNCAITIS says
Loved your lavender cookie recipe! Lou k
Chad Allan Bush says
Hi Kevin, I’m definitely interested in the Kitchen Aid Standing Mixture. I have been using a hand held mixer for most all of my projects and this would certainly make things so much easier.
I have been baking lots of breads for the past several months, after a friend provided some sour dough starter for me. We’ve made so many fabulous things together and always admire the recipes you provide in your newsletter, not to mention all the tips/tricks from you own beautiful gardens!
You are a true inspiration and hope to one day meet you!
Marjorie O'Keefe says
I love your column. It has every interest of mine, all in one place. I look forward to each new addition. I’d love the win this mixer, as my last acquisition was from Goodwill. A new mixer would be appreciated.
Tracy Sbresny says
This is beautiful, I have always wanted one. Seeing these in cooking shows makes my green eyed monster come out.
KaeleyAnne says
Our summer plans include visiting family that lives several states away and going to a wedding.
Carrie says
This would be amazing for all of my baking & I love the color. We are taking the kids to an indoor waterpark with friends for a weekend and then headed to North Carolina for some beach time. A bit of a change from up here in Western Mass! Thanks for the chance & a great blog!
Ka says
Would love to have this to make things easy
In the kitchen!
Patricia Schroeder says

Breann Hadley says
Hi there! I love your website, especially the cooking section! I have recently been bit by the baking bug and I am DYING to have a stand mixer!! I’ve spent the past few months making cookies/cakes/cupcakes with a hand mixer because that’s all I can afford, which makes for a tough job!! Anyway, I would love this standmixer! Thanks for putting on this giveaway!
Ofelia Bernstein says
The Strawberry Souffle is my aspiration and inspiration…one day, soon 😉 with or without the gorgeous mixer.
Shannon Ashworth says
I enjoy reading your column. It is very interesting and informative. As for my summer plans, they include house repairs, gardening, yard work and so on. I will find play time in there somewhere.
Victoria Klein says
I found your column when I was searching for information on forcing bulbs. Yours was the best and I immediately sent on link to your website to a fellow gardening friend who carried out the milk bottle seedlings in the snow with great success.
Tonight I’m going to make the cod en papillote. All your recipes are so enticing. There are a few buds left on my lavender and I’ll be making the lavender cookies with remaining blossoms.
Thanks for all the tips!
I would love to know if you have any out of the box ideas for bulbs to force this coming season.
Ellen says
I look forward to your email and love the tons of recipes and gardening articles. Would love the chance to win the miser stand-very cool! Thanks for the chance! This summer I adopted a female german shepherd named Sam and we are busy gardening and playing outside!
Valinda says
I would love to win the mixer. Would be great for mixing up my herb and zucchini breads. I really enjoy your site!
Shelley says
Heading north yo our cottage in Bayfield, Wisconsin. Sand, sun and Lake Superior!
Andrea Hicks says
Love love your newsletter! We’re retired now, with enough time to try the recipes, and a few of the gardening tips. A few, because we live in a wooded, shady area. Can’t vegetable garden, and due to the deer population, only limited flower gardening. But boy do we Love the newspaper mulching for weeds! We can grow weeds, mushrooms and moss like nobody’s business!
We just bought our first food processor, a slice of heaven. And I’ve been dreaming of a Kitchen Aide stand mixer. Hope you can make my dream come true!!
bonnie fuentevilla says
Well……….if I can randomly ( did I spell that right ? ) win that awesome mixer and learn how to freeze zucchini at the same time, that would ROCK !
Stephanie says
I love your blog!
Janet B. says
I have a stand alone mixer that I my husband gave to me for a Christmas gift several years ago. It still works but the white has yellowed and it looks not so good. I would love a new one that is tangerine! What a cool color!
Stephanie says
I could really use this since the mixer I have is 30 years old and the cord is frayed. What a beautiful color to match my other utensils.
Nancy says
Wow! Lots of interest in that mixer!!!
Catie says
I love the tangerine color! Definitely a fun color that would brighten up any kitchen.

Mary says
I’ve been to Florida twice this summer (Key West and Sarasota) and have plans for many weekend trips (Petoskey, Michigan on gorgeous Lake Michigan is one of several hopefully). And Labor Day weekend on 80 acres in the UP. After that I guess I need to work. Love the mixer – love the color!!.
Meg says
Kitchen Aid stand mixers are the bomb!
Beth W says
This would make bread-making (and other cooking tasks) so much easier, although there is something to be said for getting workout kneading your own dough.
Dianne Hollinger says
Spending my summer playing in the garden, weaving, spinning wool, knitting, AND making plans to attend Pennsic War 41 – Medieval “playing” at Slippery Rock , sewing air-y clothing so we don’t roast while camping there! Would love a mixer to help with fixing all those medieval recipes!!!!
Ronda-Lee Rathwell says

How funny! I lived in Charleston, WV for 10 years when I was a kid. The place has certainly developed a lot since I moved away in ’97.
That is a lovely mixer… the orange would go lovely with the little hints of orange in my back splash. And of course to make all those delicious desserts!
Tricia says
That Tangerine dream would look FAB in my kitchen! Thanks for the opp to own one! Hope you are having a wonderful summer!

Mimi says
Wow, a great color! I would love to have this mixer for my wonderful daughter in law. With 2 little ones at home, this is a good time for her to master the art of baking.
Sheri Hagwood says
I just love the tangerine color! My faithful, but old, Kitchenaid mixer is plain, boring white. A new orange mixer would definitely jazz up my kitchen!
Denise says
This would go great in my daughter’s house! She did all the restoration herself and is expecting her first baby! Yay! I’m going to be a Grandma! I love your site and the recipes. Keep it up and thanks!

How wonderful of you to give this excellent machine! I’m still using the mixer we received as a wedding present in 1966 and would definitely love a new one that does more than just MIX!
Carolyn Riccardino says
So happy to have found your blog a few months ago, have recommended it to several friends. Hmm, can’t decided which I enjoy most, your garden tours and tips or your recipies!
Erma Yoder says
How I would love that machine. No more hand mixer which I have used more years than I like to remember. Can think of so many uses for it but especially my weekly signature pizza dough.
Kim says
I am fairly new to your website. I love how creative and interesting you and all the garden info and recipes are. It is so fun to receive each time.
My family comes form a long line of Kitchen Aids. My Nana was an avid gardener, cook and baker. My earliest memory (dating myself here) is of her using a deep bowl and her two hands to cream butter, mix batter etc. before she had her mixer. My Mom, Nana to my children, is the queen of baking and has delighted the entire family and many a visitor with her bake goods all with the Kitchen Aid.
From one generation to the next we have passed on the recipes and the family legacy with Kitchen Aid. Love that I opened your email and you are giving away the Tangerine “miracle machine”. Thank you for sharing all the yummy recipes!
Kim
Denise says
My Mom had the Old Standing Mixer when I was growing up. I don’t know what happened to it, my dad got rid of everything. Poor thing never had a chance with him around. I have looked but never have gotten one for myself. It would be batches of fun to win one. Pick Me! Pick ME! My mom would have been proud.
jean sovienski says
I have recently found your website. I am in the process of using newspaper in my garden. Lots of pesky weeds . Can I cut my iris down now. And what do I do with the stalks from my poppies. My husband is the cook at our house. He is really better than I am–but that means I have all the yard work ( not so bad) and the garden (yeah)
Thanks for the help to make my gardening easier.
Cathy Haynes says
Kevin, I would LOVE to win this. I had the chance to get my Mom’s, and let my daughter have it, and have been kicking myself ever since!!!
Katherine L says
Happy Summer! I can’t wait to make some milk chocolate frosting. Thanks for another fabulous article & giveaway!
Nichole says
I’m interested in the Kitchen Aid mixer as long as it comes with you and/ or your recipe book! As it is my email inbox was so packed with emails from your blog I had to make a folder to find your recipes that I’d like to try! The gardening advice has been top notch as well. I’ve currently mulched my vegetable garden not only with lawn clippings, per usual, but newspaper. It’s currently weed free (in that section, we won’t talk about the rest) and I’m attempting to create a shade garden on our land to expand our gardens. Thanks so much, and keep up the fantastic and helpful blog! Nothing like a giveaway to motivate people for comments… 😉
JamieK says
Can’t wait to try your Pain de Mie!
sharon says
Ooh! What a beautiful mixer! Thanks for the giveaway; thanks for your awesome blog!
Jesstina Murphy says
This is beautiful thanks for the chance.
Cindy says
My old Oster mixer has been around for so long that I don’t remember what the original color was (probably “almond”) but is now a shade of yellowed plastic. It has fought the good fight but these days, I need to be careful of the addition of brittle plastic bits being added to my cakes! A new mixer would be soooooo welcome.
vanesa smith says
hello I would love this stand mixer because I just turned 20 and im starting my own bakery business at home making cakes and cupcakes is my passion iv had a tough life taking care or my father that is disabled and I don’t have the money to go and buy a stand mixer I want to follow my dreams of opening my own bakery winning this would be a jump head start to a great future

The paddle on a stand mixer seem incomparable to any other type of mixer. My friend gave me 50lbs of flour when I got laid off so i could really use this baby!
Mary Harrigan says
Just wanted to thank you for your up close and personal tours of your most beautiful garden. It certainly feels as if I am taking the stroll right there beside you. I grew up in NJ and your flowers and plants remind me of my childhood growing up. I had quite the green thumb. Now I live in Phoenix, AZ and have a new appreciation of our native plants and trees.

Sonja Jones says
I’ve looked at these mixers for years! I love to make bread but the kneading is tedious! But I won’t go to a bread maker (I know, I must be crazy!). This Kitchen Aid would be put to very good use.

What a happy color to add to my rather sad kitchen to replace the pitiful hand held (which I am grateful for) that my ex’s wife gave me when I moved into my home about 4 years ago. 🙂 Thank you for sharing so much wonderful wisdom, stories and pictures with all of us! Eco Snippets pointed me here 😀

Thanks!
Cynthia says
I remember way back in the late 50’s our white Kitchen Aide my mom used for so much of what we ate. That appliance was a mainstay and outlasted everything else in the kitchen. I was fascinated with it and have always wanted one. Now, 50 plus years later I am still waiting to own one. What a wonderful opportunity you have presented. As for my plans this summer, I will be planning and executing the cleaning up, cutting back or digging up of a cazillion daylily plants along with tending lots of rhododendrons, azaleas, junipers, hedges, and many other bushes and trees. I love nature and all living things. Working in the yard has such a calming effect. Thank you for all your great articles and wonderful recipes.
Cecilia says
Enjoy reading your newsletter. What a great giveaway! Have had a KitchenAid mixer for 30 yrs. Have replaced the beater two times. A new one would be great. I’d give my old one to my daughter. These things never break!
Samantha L says
I came across your blog looking for tips on freezing kale and swiss chard from my garden. As a teenager, working on a farm was my summer job and now it’s something I do for fun and to put organic food on the table. Love your tips and decadent recipes. That tangerine mixer would look great in my sunny kitchen!
Luan Morrow says
remodeling the kitchen in my 100 year old house. driftwood gray floor, white cabinets, black hardware and I am trying to decide on the main accent color – tangerine would be perfect. hope so 🙂
Susan L says
Your recipes always inspire me. Have tried and loved many of them!. Lemon curd tarts are next…. but your pie crust is awesome! Have always envied someone with a KitchenAid mixer on their counter!
katie h says
What a great mixer that would be to have….also my garden is doing great except for cantelope which the rabbits ate twice…..lots of tomatoes.
Elaine says
Beautiful!

Jen says
I’d love to use that fantastic Kitchen Aid mixer to whip up your Chocolate Layer Cake with Milk Chocolate Frosting…the only problem is…i don’t think i’d be willing to share it!
Rache says
My mother will not part with her vintage (1965 wedding present) kitchenaid! not even to her eldest daughter! This tangerine mixer would look mighty fine in my Italian inspired kitchen.
Bonita Watkins says
This Kitchen Aid mixer would be a beautiful replacement for the “197?” Oster Regency stand mixer I currently have!! Oh but she has some stories to tell!! All the birthday cakes and frosting that she has faithfully prepared for our family! And I think possibly the “New York Style” cheesecakes have been her favorite! All flavors, strawberry, blueberry, pumkin, sweet potato…(if you haven’t tried a sweet potato cheesecake, you just don’t know what your missing), she has whipped creme and beat eggs! Why…I couldn’t begin to count the number of children that have had the pleasure of joyfully cleaning some sweet delicious desert from her beaters!! Sadly, just like us…the old girl is slowing down. She doesn’t quite have the strength she used to have either. Why sometimes she can’t even get up enough momentum to spin the bowl anymore. But because she has been so faithful over the years, I gently will help her along with a light nudge on the side of the bowl. She really appreciates it, I can tell, because her beaters keep beating, and together we continue to create numerous varieties of delicious goodies for the rest of the family!!
cindy says
I have been wanting one of these for years, and the money always has to go to something else. I would be thrilled to win this…so many good recipes here to try!
Megan says
As you can see from my username orange/apricot is a favorite of mine. I grew up in California’s Silicon Valley when it was mostly fruit orchards. Sigh. I have always wanted a Kitchen Aide and now that I am retired from Hospice work I would have time to use one. I cook for a weekly homeless meal and it would be a boon!! I will cross my fingers and hope “my number is up!”
Nancy Wall says
I have had extreme vertigo for 5 yeas. Cooking, which I adore, has been a struggle. My granddaughter says I should write a book about cooking from bed!
I am just several weeks out from surgery to remove my entire inner ear. After PT, I plan on cooking up a virtual storm! I would love that beautiful, sunny Kitchen Aide mixer to remind me of all the sunny days ahead!
K. Babb says

I get so much inspiration from your site! This summer I found the coolest old mediterainean looking fountain on Craig’s list and surrounded it with boxwoods. My new garden borders my patio, it’s a great place to escape and watch the birds and butterflies!
Ros says
Getting a mixer like this would make my life so much easier, as many of you know what I’m talking about! One in an aqua range of colors would look sooo nice in my kitchen. Love, love, love it…

About to leave for Maine for a week on Friday…. would love this mixer!!!

In full throttle canning, gardening and cooking. I am a fairly new at being mostly retired – love your website. I am a builders daughter who loves projects, cooking, canning, gardening, etc. etc. Would love a chance at a Kitchen Aid mixer. Mine is over twenty years old and well……
Marilyn says
OK, for the last time…will you marry me?? (just kidding…sort of..hahaha) Anyway, your friends Gary and Gary look upon their beautiful tangerine stand mixer as a piece of art…I think..and so do I.. I must admit I have the lovely green model from years ago. No working kitchen should be without one. But my new black and white kitchen in the retirement home we are working on up north could certainly use a piece of art as lovely as this one! 🙂
Mary says
56-yrs-old. Never owned stand mixer. Have a healthy fear of baking. Tangerine would entice me to face my fear.
Julie says
Oooooo – the strawberry souffle looks amazing! I just bought eight white ramekins (for another dessert) but may change my mind and make the souffles with our wonderful, best ever, Oregon strawberries! And what better tool to have on hand than a brand new tangerine mixer! Pick me, pick me!!! 🙂
Damon Ransom says
Can’t think of anything to say. 🙂

What a different summer than last, by this time last year here in North Central Indiana we were burnt up with drought. Rain and humidity is the ticket this year. Great for weed growing! Hard to keep up with the garden but after that hot, 100 degree, dry weather last summer I’m not complaining. That tangerine mixer is a trip! What a statement for the kitchen.

I have been saving newspaper and i picked up a couple palets the other day going to try my hand at making a herb garden…..wish me luck !!!! North Carolina..

Summer Vacation will be at our friend’s lake home in Mossy Rock, Wa. near Mount Rainer and Mount Saint Helens, then off to the ocean for a day to play at Sea Side, OR can’t wait should be lots of fun! What about you?
Mary Sproles Martin (@msprolesmartin) says
When my now 17-year-old was 9, I was shopping for a Kitchen Aid Professional. I wanted the red one. She asked why they were so expensive and I said because they last forever. “This thing will be around so long that when I die, you will probably get it.” To which she replied, “In that case, get THIS one! (pointing to the matte titanium) …
Guess which one is in my kitchen and used by me, her and my 12-year-old cookie baker extraordinaire?
Yep – Matte Titanium.

Cara Montague says
That is a gorgeous tangerine mixer. My Kitchen Aid mixer needs replacement as it rocks back and forth with vigor as I am vigorously mixing batter. I will keep my fingers crossed.

I recently retired and started a little karaoke/dj business. Business is slow right now and I have tons of time to start whipping up some new recipes. I’ve never had anything better than a hand held mixer. Everytime I go into Sam’s I look at the Kitchen Aid Mixer and dream. This one is really a cool color. I would love to win this!

I would love to have a powerhouse mixer like the Kitchenaid! And the color is wonderful!
Joyce Bradley says
Well Kevin,,, thanks for reminding me to register for the bright orange Kitchenaid. I “need it” because……I’m 68 and never have had anything but a little hand mixer. Now some stiffness has set into my hands..kneading dough by hand is not happening! So I “need it” so I can follow your recipes calling for its use!!!
Thanks!!

The tangerine color I adore but that China set is very pretty too. I’m spending my summer packing for a new chapter in my life. I’m also in Michigan and have lost lots of plants to frost. 🙁 no strawberries yet! I would love to have a stand mixer , it matches the lilies around hedges.
Sue Curtis says
OHH! I would so love to own this tangerine; and I would use it. I do bake and like to try new recipes. As far as gardening, I try but my best gardens are in my dreams!

My summer is being spent taking care of customers who stay at our “mom and pop” 1940’s lodging establishment. I have always wanted to own a Kitchen Aid standing mixer. I enjoy making desserts for all of our friends when we do get to get together. This would be a welcome addition to my kitchen and a great help to me. Thank you for this oportunity to enter-love your newsletter and all you share 🙂
