The KitchenAid standing mixer is one of my favorite kitchen appliances in my house. This appliance can do so much more than mix dough. For example, I love to mix up my meatloaf and meatball ingredients in my standing mixer. I also love to use it to make guacamole.
And once you start getting some of the KitchenAid attachments, then you will have one of the most versitile appliance around.
Number 2 is actually several gift ideas in one because a cook who already has the KitchenAid Standing Mixer would love any one of these attachments. Below are a list of my favorite attachments although, if you click on the KitchenAid link you will find even more attachments available:
I like to make freezer meals in bulk, but I don’t love cutting all the vegetable at once that go into multiple recipes. The Vegetable Slicer/Shreddermakse slicing vegetable so much easier!
This is a slow cooker AND a Pressure Cooker, AND a Saute and Steamer ALL IN ONE! I have this one, and let me tell you, this thing cooks sooo evenly. My food comes out tender and flavorful!
We actually use fun shaped muffin tins like these to not only make muffins, but also to make other foods like crustless omelet muffins. I love getting fun shaped trays and pans as a gift!
We use cookie cutters every week, and we hardly ever eat cookies. We use our cookie cutters to make fun shaped sandwiches and quesadillas. I love getting unique cookie cutters! Here is an idea…does your loved one have a favorite hobby? Get them cookie cutters that relate to their hobby!
Have you ever read product recommendations on someone’s website, and thought, “I want to get that product later,” but then later comes around and you can’t remember the name of the product, where you can buy it, or which post talked about the product the first place? Well, this has happened to me so I wanted a place where you could find a list of my favorite products. These are the products I have talked about throughout this website.
I hope you find this list a great resource of some of the best health, nutrition, and fitness products.
Why would you need a door shoe rack, you ask? A few years ago, I bought a similar shoe rack to the one below and hung the rack over the pantry door. I like the clear shoe racks so that my children can easily see what is inside. I keep healthy snacks like popcorn, cups of mandarin oranges, and whole-wheat crackers on the lower shoe compartments. These are snacks my children (and I) can easily grab anytime. I keep a small portion of their favorite not-so-healthy snacks in the higher shoe compartments. My children can’t reach these compartments and have to ask me if they can have these snacks.
Sheet Protector and Dry Erase Markers
In my “Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals” eBook, I talk about how I place my grocery list in a sheet protector. By doing this, I can use the same grocery list every time I shop. I simply use a dry erase marker to mark off items I already have, and to mark off items as a grocery shop.

I also read her book “Pinterest Ninja.” This book helped my blog become successful through Pinterest. Both of her books were so helpful!
The KitchenAid standing mixerand the multi-cooker are my two favorite kitchen appliances in my house. (okay the microwave is pretty awesome too!)
I have talked some about the multi-cooker in other posts, but today I want to talk about the six things that I like to do with my Kitchen Aid standing mixer and attachmentsbesides mixing batter or dough.
Mix Meatloaf or Meatballs
I use the basic mixer and the flat beater that comes with most mixers to mix up my meatloaf and meatball ingredients.
2. Mix Guacamole and other dips
The basic mixer and beaters also work great for evenly blending guacamole and other dips.
What is a vegetable sheet cutter, you ask? Think, lasagna noodles made out of zucchini!!!
5. Slicing Vegetables
I like to make freezer meals in bulk, but I don’t love cutting all the vegetable at once that go into multiple recipes. The Vegetable Slicer/Shredder makse slicing vegetable so much easier!
Is the KitchenAid Standing Mixerawesome or what! I just love all the attachments, and all the creative things you can do witht he standing mixer! Which is your favorite attachment? What are some other ways you use your standing mixer?
