KitchenAid Mixer Tips From a Top Fan + Carrot Apple Salad Recipe
Alright, confession time… I love my KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer and I’m a dietitian. Yes, I bake.
There, I said it. Phew!
Here’s the thing though, having a KitchenAid mixer has been a time saver in my kitchen! It is amazing for a million things other than mixing cake batter. It gives me a quicker process with weeknight cooking and meal prepping. Like many home cooks, I used to use it just for baking. Once I stepped out of that lane, I experimented with mashed potatoes and then began testing other savory items as well. Confession time again… there has definitely been some error… Pro tip, over-mixing meatloaf lets the gluten became too developed. Lesson learned.
Here is a great list below to start you on your journey. To boot, it’s basically a piece of art so I leave mine out on display.

- Butter
