The Land of Nod Stand Mixer With Bowl #Giveaway

November 6, 2010 by Momstart 318 Comments

imageMom Start was chosen as a Land of Nod Review Blogger. So throughout the year we’ll be bringing you toy ideas for the holidays and what makes a great birthday present. The Land of Nod is beautiful retail store on-line and off. They have stores located here in Washington, and I’ve always loved walking in to look at the new things they have. Even when I was working in a store similar to them, I loved to see what they carried that we didn’t. I’m a big kid at heart!!

imageOur first feature, is the Land of Nod Wooden Stand Mixer with Bowl. Zoe has her own kitchen and she cooks in her kitchen whenever I’m making something to eat that she can’t help with. She loves to help me cook but if I’m in a hurry or using the oven mostly she can’t help me. So she’s quite happy to work in her own kitchen. I showed her the mixer and she was just jumping up and down to get to open it.

Details, details

  • Includes mixer, bowl, flour, flour bag, butter and butter bag

  • Made from sustainably sourced wood

The Stand Mixer is a cute green color and is very easy to operate. It came with a flour bag, a butter bag and little white and yellow balls that she can put in her mixer and in and out of the bags. Now, are new cute little dog Abby has decide that this is a fun toy too. When the kids dropped the balls on the kitchen floor Abby chased the balls up and down. Some of them are already lost underneath our kitchen stove.

Abby also patiently waits underneath Zoe as she’s cooking to see if there will be any scraps.

 

The Land of Nod has quite a few great toys to choose from for the Holidays.

What is your Favorite Memory In The Kitchen

May 8, 2010 by Momstart 1,658 Comments

Growing up, there weren’t a lot of opportunities for me to learn how to cook in the kitchen. My stepmom is an amazing cook but she was always busy and said it would take too long to cook with us, and when I lived with my mother, she was never home at dinner time because she was always working so I cooked dinner for the whole family by myself.  I still found myself comfortable in the kitchen thanks to my grandmother. If you go over to my grandmother’s house, she always has cookies in a cookie tin above her china hutch. It’s tradition! One of the ways she kept it full over the years was that whenever I went over to visit we would make cookies. We made chocolate chip cookies all the time.

Now that I have my own children I’m starting to let them help me in the kitchen. It is very hard for me to do because I can’t stand not being in control of the mess. I clean the kitchen as I go and having the kids in there gets out of hand wickedly fast, so I completely understand why my stepmom never wanted to cook with us as kids.  My kids and I always do all of our cooking in the kitchen around our KitchenAid Stand Mixer. My husband spoiled me for my birthday this year and upgraded our KitchenAid to the Professional series. I’m quite excited about the upgrade because of the bigger bowl and the new beautiful red color.

The first item for us to make in it was testing out the Ice Cream attachment. We made Double Chocolate ice cream.

Day One: Mixing

Ingredients:
2 Cups Whipping Cream Divided
2 squares semisweet baking chocolate
2 suares unsweetened baking chocolate
2 cups half and half
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
8 egg yolks
4 teaspoons vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt

Make sure your ice cream attachment is in the freezer getting cold

In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate and 1/2 cup of the whipping cream over medium low heat stirring frequently

Remove from heat set aside

In a medium saucepan heat the half and half until very hot but not boiling, stirring often

Remove from heat set aside

In a small bowl combine sugar and cocoa powder. Set aside

Place egg yolks in mixer bowl. Use speed 2 and gradually add sugar mixture. Mix about 30 seconds. Continuing on Speed 2, very gradually add chocolate mixtures and half and half; mix until well blended.

Return all of the mixture to medium saucepan, stirring constantly cook over medium heat until small bubbles form around edge and mixture is steamy. Do not boil.

Transfer half and half mixture into large bowl; stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups whipping  cream, vanilla, and salt cover and chill thoroughly at least 8 hours.

Day Two: Ice Cream

Assemble and engage the ice cream attachment to the KitchenAid Stand
Use stir setting 1
pour ice cream mixture into the ice cream attachment
Stir for 15 minutes
Eat or Place mixture in a freezer safe container and freeze
