Some people are car junkies. They will come home with the sorriest looking piece of junk, it doesn’t run, and swear they will fix it up. Two years later it will still be in your garage, either completely restored and for sale, or in the same shape it was in when it was brought home.
I am an appliance junkie. I love kitchen appliances. Some of you may be wondering, “What does this have to do with food allergies?” It has a lot to do with food allergies! I bake a lot because my son is allergic to dairy! I also make a lot of my mixes from scratch! It is so much nicer to do these things with the proper equipment! Don’t you agree? I hope after you read this you will take a moment to comment and tell me what you wish you had in your kitchen!
My dream appliance (nope, I don’t have it in my kitchen) is the KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart 325 Watt Stand Mixer Model no. KSM150PSWH. This thing can do everything and it sure is pretty! But here’s the thing. I can’t convince my husband that he should buy it for me for Mothers Day! How did he convince me that that piece of crap in the garage was an antique? Guess I am just gullible! Well, back to my original point, The KitchenAid Artisan Mixer has so many attachments, it is almost ridiculous! There are sausage stuffers, can openers, ice cream makers etcetera etcetera! All of these things can be attached to this mixer! I get warm fuzzies just thinking about making dairy free pizza crust and still having use of my arm afterwards! But alas, I am not an argumentative person, and cannot convince my wonderful husband to buy it!
So I have decided to try something out! I want to do a challenge for all my readers! The winner will receive one box of Enjoy Life Snack Bars! These snack bars are delicious and wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish and shellfish free! They are made in a dedicated gluten/nut free factory as well! The challenge is to convince my husband to get me this mixer for Mothers Day! I know what your thinking…..”What if he just isn’t convinced?” That’s ok. But the person who can send me the best argument, which I will be sharing with my husband, will win. IF my husband DOES find your argument convincing, and DOES buy me this mixer, I will toss I an extra package of Enjoy Life Snack Bars! Winners will be announced on May 15th here on the site, so please check back for the results! The only “fine print” stipulation here is that I must receive more than 5 responses! You can email your quality response to me at bella214@cox.net but please toss a comment in on this site so others can see what the response count is! The deadline is May 10th and all arguments should be made as if you were talking to my husband! His name is Chris! Also keep in mind, that this mixer CAN be purchased for 150.00 – 199.00, so it isn’t only price that he needs convincing on!
