I'm looking for new ways to make healthier versions of food with my new stand mixer!

    Truffle! I love it, mine gets used a fair bit because I not only bake with it, I have the grinder attachment and make all my own sausages and burgers etc.

    Mine is pistachio I think. Although I don't use it much anymore , it's still very pretty!

    Limited edition Sea Glass (metallic teal)

    ... Mine rarely gets used now, it's not really a healthy food tool imo!

    Oooh I want to see a pic of it in real life (not a promo shot). Beautiful colour.

    Red. I get lots of uses out of it. I bake all the time for my kids.

    Stainless silver...and when I have it out, I am up to no good, usually making a huge batch of Neiman Marcus cookies. (They have nuts, oatmeal, and dark chocolate, so that's a health food, right?!!) I love my Kitchen Aid!

    I'm so jealous, this is the one I wanted but I don't have the money to get one! The one I have is grey and a cheaper version, and it's not even mine. Borrowed from a family member who never uses it.

    My husband eats about 10 hamburgers a week so I use it mostly to make dough for his hamburger buns.
  • Red! I've had it for almost 20 years (it was a wedding present- or, more accurately, I used some of the wedding $ to buy it haha). These days, I use it for making cloud bread and other gluten free things (I'm a Celiac). I'd love to get the spiralizer attachment for it!

    I am very, very lucky - I had a black one, but fell in love with this one as it's my favourite colour. My husband secretly sold my black one and bought the new one as a Christmas present!

    That is awesome! My husband would never do that, lol!

    I have a black one. My fiance was hoping to get me a pink one too, but only the black ones were on sale. But I still love it, it get used at least a few times a week. It's my favourite kitchen item for sure!

    White with all possible attachments, most of which I have never used lol

    Same here! Mine is white too. I have a spirilizer I received as a gift but haven't used yet. And I am already eyeing the vegetable sheeter.

    I have the empire red one... the 6qt lift professional one. The thing is huge. I bought it (refurbished, I'm not crazy) for making bread, because the one I had before was the twisty type and the bowl would ALWAYS get stuck after kneading bread dough, and it was too small for some recipes. Bonus is you can make 2 batches of cookies at once in it too... and not spill flour everywhere.

    I agree though that I don't think I've ever used it for anything low calorie, lol. Even the zucchini goat flan I made the other day was 240 calories a piece (but tasty).

    I had a yellow one, didn't use it more than a couple times per year, and so I didn't replace it after a tornado. Haven't missed it yet. They do look pretty in a kitchen.

    Red. I got it at my wedding shower 13+ years ago. It's never even been taken out of the box. To be honest, I don't even know where it is. Crawlspace, maybe?

    Robin's egg blue- used a handful of times, but currently tucked away.

    That would drive me crazy. I'd at least give it away or sell it.

    Mine's "cranberry" - a dark pink. Very pretty to look at, but I usually keep a cover on it to keep it clean.

    I love using mine to shred chicken or pork (cook it in the crock pot and throw them in with the paddle attachment). I use mine to whip mashed potatoes too. Else it's mostly cookies and things I shouldn't be eating. :sunglasses:

    There would have to be a zombie apocalypse or something similar to get me into the crawlspace. LOL

    These are sooooooooo pretty, and I want one... but I can't justify it. Although I cook much more than I used to, I don't end up cooking that many things that require a mixer (or most of the other cool gadgets you can attach to the thing).

    Mine collects dust up high. Hard to find healthy recipes.
    I use my Ninja Mixer bowl to mix things now. Sometimes my food processor.

    Black which I chose, all of my countertop appliances are black and silver/chrome. I use it mainly to mix cakes and frosting as I make all my grandkids cakes for their birthdays.

    Mine is white and of unknown vintage. Friends had an "extra" in their cellar and gave it to me. Who has an extra KA mixer!!??!! I did not look a gift horse in the mouth and happily brought it home.

    Mine is white and 30 years old. I used it more when my kids were younger and we lived 30 minutes from a grocery store. I would bake bread 3 times a week plus other cooking. Currently use it for making bread dough, noodles, cookies, and birthday cakes.

    White... because it was the least expensive option.
