If you have a KitchenAid mixer

 have you seen these:

They are hooks/knobs that either stick or can be screwed into your cupboards to hang up your mixer attachments too.  I didn't use the screws, just stuck them up.  Other's don't come with the adhesive, just screws.

They come in packs of four and I got mine from Amazon.  I find them awkward to store, so popped mine in the back of a cupboard.  They are $16.99 per package and you can find them here.  I don't know if it will work for other stand mixer attachment brands.

I just realized while I was writing this I have had my mixer for 20 years.  Mine is cream in colour and still works great.

Do you have a KitchenAid mixer, what colour is it, and how old is it?

When Fannie Farmer and KitchenAid come out to play...

 it means serious business is afoot!!

I got them out last week to make some peanut butter cookies.  I got this cookbook over 30 years ago and honestly the only recipe I use frequently; and now it's rarely, is for the peanut butter cookie recipe.
As you can see by these pages it has been used a lot over the years! I posted the recipe for the first time on this blog in 2008 here.
I had bought some peanut butter to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for one of the grandkids.
I only eat peanut butter if it is mixed in with something else.  Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches is not something we were brought up with.
I will say that the cookies were good and were all gone within a couple of days.....which is why I don't bake often as we eat it all way too fast😊

Have you got or have heard of the Fannie Farmer Cookbook?  Do you like peanut butter and jelly/jam sandwiches?

(oh and for the Canadian's out there, I have a friend who is a buyer for one of the big grocery chains and she was saying that ALL the big grocery/supermarket chains are putting up their prices in February 😡)

Book Review, Bridal Shower, Kitchen Aid Mixer & Swagbucks

"Fall's Like Lightening," by Shawn Grady




Smokejumper Silas Kent never expected to see pilot Elle Westmore again. In fact, reuniting makes him realize what a mistake he made all those years ago. But before he has a chance to try to make amends, he's called to lead a new crew into battle against a massive fire in the Sierra Nevadas.

And then things go very wrong, very quickly.


A suspicious engine explosion forces the crew to parachute early while Elle barely survives a crash landing. Silas reaches the ground safely, but in beginning a desperate race to reach the downed plane, he soon realizes he has more to fear than just a raging forest fire.

Not sure what to say about this book.  By reading the preview you will never guess what else this story is about, and I am not going to tell you...LOL  It wasn't a book I hated, but it wasn't a book I loved.  Why I say that is the book felt a bit cliche to me, sort of boy meets girl, they fall in love, he leaves her, she picks up the pieces and they meet years later and realise they have always loved one another.  Meanwhile a massive fire starts and then the rest of the story is intertwined in amongst it.

I found some of it a bit too much far fetched for my taste, but it still was an easy book to read, and I thought the guy posing on front of the book reminded me of Kevin Bacon, not that I am a huge fan of his, what do you think?

Star out of 5: 2.5 I neither loved this book or hated it.  It was an okay book and an easy read.  Just wish it wasn't so far fetched with the other plot line.

We are having a bridal shower for dd in October, it's being held by me, groom's mother and maid of honour; figured it was easier throwing one shower than three separate ones.  Dd knows about it, doesn't know where it's being held though, so can't mention it here.  Anyhow, we (her dad and I) are getting her a Kitchen Aid mixer  I have been saving up my Amazon e-cards that I get from doing Swagbucks and while talking to her the other night I discovered they were having a sale on Kitchen Aid at Amazon, so I have ordered her this one:

She did want the Apple Green one, but this one has a more powerful motor and is the professional grade one so will last for years.  She knows about it so it isn't a surprise.  So with it being on for half price, plus free shipping and having over $250 in Amazon e-cards from Swagbucks, I paid less than $80 for it.

So now I am back to square one with my Amazon e-cards.  I know I have another $5 one to come this month and am busy saving up for August.  I think I will save them up for Christmas.  For anyone wanting to join Swagbucks just let me know and I will give you some pointers. 

If you do join up I would really appreciate it if you joined under my referral link: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/Appleby

By the way what colour is your Kitchen Aid mixer if you have one, and if you don't want colour would you like to own?

Mine is cream and I got it for my 40th birthday off dh and yes I did ask for it.

I am turning into an old person....LOL
