OH MY GOSH! This beautiful baby arrived at my doorstep last week. I have been admiring it all week. It's a pear green KitchenAid Mixer
and it was our first official wedding gift. Thanks, grandma.... I'm in love! Is it weird that I took a photo kissing it? Seemed like the right thing to do...
My parents & grandmother also gifted us an amazing teal vintage couch! I'll post photos this weekend after we get it moved into the house. sooo excited!
On the topic of kitchens, what should I make with it first? Lemonade Cookies maybe? Any favorite recipes to share?
While I'm being all random and stuff, here's a sneak-peek from the next makeover story that will be coming up soon....
I'm off to take suki for a walk! XX, elsie
You are one lucky lady! I've been wanting a red one foreverrrr. Love that color, too!

If I didn't already have one, it would've been on my list of wants for my wedding. I've drooled over them for years!
And no, I don't think it's weird to have a photo of you kissing it. I was hugging mine like it was a teddy bear when I got it for Christmas a few years ago.

So very, very jealous. The mixer is the first thing going on my registry. What colour to pick... hmmmm? How about a nice carrot cake? Fitting for Easter. Here's a recipe I've been dying to try (Hawaiian Carrot Cake With Coconut Icing):

LOVE that kitchen aid mixer....Jon and I got a light blue one for our wedding and I can usually be found making Oreo Cheesecakes in it. :) Hope you enjoy it!

I use mine to make butter. Homemade butter is the best! It is really easy and you can add in things like honey, maple syrup, herbs, salt....Yum.

Oooh I'm so jealous! It's beautiful and I would take a picture kissing it too! :)

pretty, pretty!
you should make lemonade cupcakes with your new mixer!

How cute!! I would think some good old fashioned chocolate chip cookies are in order, but that's just me! Tip: use ice cold milk, and keep your batter in the freezer in between batches - it makes them super moist!
Also, please tell us where you got that gold nail polish! Must have.

Such a great gift! Don't mind kissing the kitchen aid - you'll lover her even more when she is in use :) I got mine 5 month ago and sice then I bake nearly once a week...

Oh, le sigh. This is going to be numero uno on my wedding want list someday, but in orange or aqua. Or maybe pink! So hard to pick colors.

If I were you, I would make some macarons as my first baking endeavor :)

Oh, I am so jealous. I've wanted that exact Kitchen Aid for a few years now. The color is GORGEOUS. You better have fun using it! Or I'll take it! ;] Kidding.
Do you have that Lemon Cookie recipe posted anywhere? With the changing of seasons, I'm a bit impatient for summer. Lemon Cookies might speed things up!
