Mixing it Up for Valentines Day

I'm trying to "mix up" my blog topics, so today I wanted to share another one of my new "favorite things" which is this KitchenAid Sideswipe beater blade!

If you have and use a 4.5 or 5 quart standing KitchenAid mixer, this is a MUST for your kitchen arsenal. My daughter kendall and I have been baking a lot of cupcakes, cakes and protein cookies lately, and this makes the mixing process so much easier!


So many times with the regular beater, I have to stop the machine and scrape the sides to get the remaining batter/dough off the sides of the bowl.  This beater blade fits snugly into the bowl and more efficiently and quickly stirs your ingredients together. 


There are several beater blades available, depending on your size of KitchenAid. This one is for the 4.5 and 5 quart tilt-head stand mixer. Here's how to know if you need this blade if you are not sure if your mixer is the  4.5/ 5 quart size or larger.

And, the best thing is, that like the majority of my favorite things, it is under $30!  You can find this at Amazon for $19.99 and, as an Amazon Prime Member, free two day shipping! 

There is also a beater blade available for the larger mixers (5 and 6 quart size) that runs $27.95, and also includes a prime shipping option for Prime Members. Still a pretty good deal!  

Here are the measurements for the larger mixer to determine if you need this  larger blade:

Order today and you can get it by Monday, February 13th! Plus, this is just a great tool to have in the kitchen if you use your mixer on a regular basis!
