Alright, let’s talk about cookin’ with that fancy KitchenAid thingamajig. My grandbaby got me one, and let me tell ya, it ain’t just for show! You can make all sorts of good eats with it, healthy stuff too, not just sugary pies.
First off, you wanna make some real stick-to-your-ribs kinda food? Try shredded chicken. Yeah, that’s right. Throw some cooked chicken in there, turn it on, and boom! Shredded chicken for days. You can mix that with some grits – the real kind, not that instant stuff – and a little bit of pumpkin. Sounds weird, I know, but it’s good for ya and fills ya right up. Serves about six folks, so plenty for the whole family.
Now, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ lighter, that machine can do that too. My daughter-in-law, she’s always makin’ these healthy shakes and smoothies in the mornin’. Throws in some fruits, some spinach (don’t tell the grandkids!), and a little bit of yogurt. Whirls it around in that mixer, and it comes out all smooth and tasty. Keeps ya goin’ all mornin’, no need for that sugary cereal.
Speaking of mornin’ eats, you can use that mixer for makin’ pancake batter too. No more beatin’ it with a fork till your arm gets tired! Just dump everything in, turn it on, and you got perfect pancake batter, no lumps or nothin’. You can add some oats to make them even healthier.
- For breakfast: Pancakes with oats, healthy smoothies with fruits and veggies.
- For lunch: Shredded chicken over grits, maybe some homemade bread dough if you’re feelin’ fancy. That mixer can knead dough like nobody’s business.
- For dinner: Mix up some meatloaf real good, not too much fat though. And you can even make mashed potatoes, all fluffy and light. Just don’t use too much butter, gotta watch your figure you know.
And for somethin’ sweet, but still kinda healthy, how about a peanut butter pie? Now, I know what you’re thinkin’, pie ain’t healthy. But if you make it yourself, you can control the sugar and all that junk. Use real peanut butter, not that sugary stuff, and maybe some whole wheat crust. It takes a while to make, almost five hours, but it’s worth it. And you can use that mixer to whip up the filling so it’s all light and fluffy.
That KitchenAid thing, it can do all sorts of things. It can chop up vegetables, grind meat – though I still prefer my old hand grinder – and even make pasta. I ain’t tried that yet, seems too fancy for me, but my grandbaby says it’s easy. The instruction book it comes with has lots of ideas, but let’s be honest nobody has time to read all of that, just keep things simple I say.
Now, I hear these mixers can be expensive. My grandbaby said it’s a “premium” brand, whatever that means. Guess that’s why it works so good. But you know what, even if it costs a bit more, it’s worth it if it helps you cook healthier food for your family. And it lasts a long time, this ain’t some cheap piece of junk, this here is made to last.
Just remember, when you’re usin’ it, be careful with the electric. Don’t go pokin’ around in there with wet hands, you might get a shock. And always read the instructions… at least a little bit. And if you gonna get those extra parts, like for makin’ juice or pasta, make sure you know what you are doin’ . And always clean it good after you use it, don’t want no old food stuck in there.
So there you have it, some healthy recipes you can make with that KitchenAid mixer. It ain’t just for fancy folks, even an old woman like me can use it. Just keep it simple, use good ingredients, and don’t be afraid to try new things. Happy cookin’!
