KitchenAid 5-Quart Mixer Giveaway

Kitchenaid giveaway

This giveaway is closed. Congrats to our winner – Melissa T. (Just in case you are wondering, Melissa chose the KitchenAid Mixer in black!)

Welcome to Skinny not Skinny!

This is a place we share our favorite recipes. Some recipes will keep you skinny and some recipes…well, not so much. Either way, this is “Food for All”! While I’m a big fan of desserts (cookies, bars, cakes, pies – I’m not picky!), we also share healthy options, dinner ideas, appetizers, drinks and snacks.

We all eat, right? Why not sit back, grab a cookie and get to know each other with the common interest of FOOD!

To celebrate our big launch of Skinny not Skinny, we wanted to start out with a bang and give one of our new lucky readers/eaters something fabulous. When we think of time in the kitchen, it usually involves our KitchenAid Stand Mixer. That is why we have chosen it as our very first giveaway prize.

What is up for grabs:

One lucky winner will receive a KitchenAid 5 Quart Mixer in the color of their choice! Yes, there are THIRTY (30) colors to choose from!

How to Enter:

Just fill out the form below. It makes it easy for you. It makes it easy for us. The only mandatory entry is a blog comment. All the others are optional. * Giveaway STARTS now and ends at 11:00pm EST Wednesday, July 17, 2013.
