Hello friends!

We’ve kicked off our two weeks of KitchenAid giveways with a BANG, with over 1000 people entering to win a KitchenAid 5 Speed Blender, as well as earn their first of four entries for an iconic KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Without further ado, the winner of the KitchenAid Blender…..

Kari Post – Congratulations! You won!

As before, your entry will also count towards our grand prize Kitchen Mixer. These giveaways are all because of the 75th Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid. This is the fourth year KitchenAid has presented this particular PGA event. This year’s Senior PGA Championship is over Memorial Day Weekend. Tickets may be purchased online at SPGA2014.com or by calling the Championship office at 269-487-3200. If you do go, stop by the KitchenAid tent and let them know you appreciate their sponsorship! You’ll see all kinds of cooking demos from celebrity chefs, and you can BET someone will be mixing up some cookie batter using their famed stand mixer.

Next up in our series of awesome giveaways is a KitchenAid Slow Cooker. It’s no secret that Paleo people (and home cooks in general) LOVE the convenience of a slow cooker. Pop your ingredients into it before you leave for work, set it to low, and dinner is pretty much ready when you get home from work. It’s awesome! Let’s talk about some of our favorite slow cooker recipes, shall we? Well, we have to start off with pulled pork… one of our all time favorite dishes! In an ode to pulled pork, we even made a video a few years back.

This was one of our very first cooking videos (so be gentle with any judgement on it!) In the opening shot, we used my old skateboard for the pan down the line of ingredients. We make our BBQ sauce a little different these days, but the end result is even more delicious. I also will send the pork shoulder (or picnic butt) to the smoker for a few hours before finishing it in the slow cooker. I love adding some smokiness to it!

Here are some of our favorite slow cooker recipes!
