Four years ago today, I hit “publish” on my very first blog post.
Who knew what a huge part of my life eat. live. travel. write. would become? Certainly I was not expecting to still be blogging up a storm four years later!
I didn’t want to write one of those retrospective blog birthday posts (you know, most commented post, most views etc…) and I’m crazy busy right now recovering from FBC2013 and gearing up for Food Revolution Day so instead, I’ll keep this one short and sweet. This far down the track, though, it’s time to spend my summer taking a long hard look at this blog, really moving towards focussing and improving my writing and photos over the year to come. My long term gift to you, dear readers…
For now, to mark the occasion, I have a little something for my Canadian readers… It’s pretty…
And, fitting since my very first post was called “A few of my favourite things” it just happens to be one of my most favourite things in the kitchen…

I would make a key line pie for my Dad as Father’s Day is just around the corner. Congratulations on your 4th Anniversary. Lovely Meeting you at #FBC2013
I’d make so many things – right now I usually just sigh wistfully when I see that a recipe includes instructions to use a stand mixer. Would probably start with a cake – it’s been awhile since I made one.
Tweet posted! 🙂
First on list I would make WHIPPED Potatoes! You might be wondering WHY? Well it’s because there isn’t any lumpy issues with the potatoes!!! (As per the family)
Then it would be a loaf of bread to go with a sweet treat I received from a friend……….. Greaves Jams……….yummy!
4 years already? Go Mardi!! I’ll be celebrating my 4 year anniversary in a couple of months but what I really should celebrate are all the amazing bloggers and creatives blogging has introduced me to – like you! Congratulations on this milestone!
Congrats, Mardi!
Congratulations of four fabulous years of blogging and sharing your creativity and expertise with us Mardi. Sincere best wishes for many more interesting, informative and enticing years for Eat. Live. Travel. Write.
Honestly, if I won this new Kitchen Aid I think the first thing I would whip up would be a batch of thank you cookies…for you!
4 years- so impressive! I can only hope I am still blogging in 2 more years!
I love paula’s idea of thank you cookies! I made a great vegan chickpea cookie and black bean brownie swirl cake the other day that is begging to be made again!
Congrats!! I have tweeted!
I would love to mix-up a delicious carrot cake, with maple cream icing for my sweet sister!
Four years…. so young and yet so mature.
Congrats Mardi. Great job.
Congrats on 4 years of blogging!
The first thing I’d probably make would be oatmeal chocolate chip cookies – get our relationship started with a classic. After that, I’d love to try my hand at homemade marshmallows!
For the attachment, I’d love the Pasta Roller & Cutter. I’ve always wanted to make my own pasta and Kitchen Aid makes it look easy!
Happy birthday! What a great giveaway! Of course, I’d whip up a bloggy birthday cake with my new mixer. Congratulations on such a successful blog!
Congratulations! What a victory!
If I won a Kitchen Aid, I’d bake a sky-high lemon meringue pie.
And I tweeted! https://twitter.com/MarisaEdghill/status/334654172114862080
Congrats on your 4 year anniversary! If I won the Kitchen Aid, I’d use it to make healthier, but tastier recipes! I’ve just started making more alternatives to white cakes and scones and I know I could make them much more efficiently if I had that gorgeous mixer.
For the attachment, I’d love the “Ice-Cream Maker”………… hoping it will be a HOT summer and having homemade ice cream would be fanatic.
Keep up the great JOB on the blog!!
Congrats on your blog anniversary! If I were to win, I’d probably make those “best chocolate chip cookies” (you know, the ones that you put in the freezer before baking) that everyone keeps blogging about!
For the attachment, I’d *definitely* go for the ice cream maker, hands down! I have a back issue of EatingWell with tons of recipes I would love to try!
Tweeted! Thanks again for hosting this giveaway and here’s to many more anniversaries to come!
I would make ice cream!
…and in order to make that ice cream, I would choose the ice cream maker attachment!
Tweeted. Thanks! https://twitter.com/McTreats/status/334671605475180544
I’d have to opt for a a simple chocolate cake (with homemade fudge on top)!
Congrats on the blogaversary!
Cookies would have to come first!
For the attachment, that’d be a tough call… So far I have it narrowed down to one of the pasta attachments, the ice cream maker, or the juicer!
I would “whip up” bread dough, it’s so hard to do by hand.
What a huge milestone Mardi! Congrats on making it to 4 years! You have definitely been a source of blogging inspiration for me over the past few years, and I am so happy that we had the opportunity to collaborate on so many projects!
And what a wonderful giveaway to celebrate! I’ve always wanted a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer… and the first thing I would whip up would be some homemade pasta dough.. this girl LOVES her carbs!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d whip up buttercream… as (almost) always 🙂
A treat for my children! Maybe my daughter’s birthday cake if the timing s right 🙂
I’d choose the pasta attachment. I’ve always wanted to try it out! Thx!
I already have the ice cream maker, so I’d say next would be the pasta roller/cutter 🙂
I shared in twitter via @paperparade congrats on your anniversary!
I tweeted 🙂
I would whip-up some meringue!
I would get the ice cream mixer (love home-made ice cream).
I’m not eligible for the giveaway but wanted to wish you a happy blog birthday, Mardi! I’ve enjoyed getting to know you and look forward to many more delicious posts.
I’d love to make some gf pasta with the pasta attachment.
I tweeted as @cubits
If you don’t have one of these,

especially if you’re AD/D like me.
I’ll start mixing something and do dishes while I wait, cook something on the stove, etc etc etc.
This is why I’m famous for burnt food!
I would whip up some banana loaf
I would want to try the ice cream maker because I’ve never made homemade ice cream before
The first thing I’d whip up is a chocolate soufflé!
I would like the slicer attachment, it would make things in the kitchen so much more efficient!
Hi Mardi, the first one I will whip up upon winning the Kitchen Aid mixer are Macarons from the recipe you thought us from the last Macaron Class at the Kitchen Studio last March. I will go to the next step now..
Hi Mardi, I choose the Food Grinder attachment. Thank you.
I just tweeted the contest on my Twitter page. I would like the Majestic Yellow. Thank you.
Congratulations on 4 fabulous years! I would whip up some Whipped Shortbread, to go with all the delish strawberries that are out right now.

Happy blog birthday! I’ve been wanting to try out the ice cream maker attachment so I could make homemade ice creams!
Tweeted also @shanatweet
I think the first thing I’d make would be chocolate chip cookies – easy, but super yummy 🙂
It’s a tough decision – I’d have to say either the pasta roller or the ice cream maker. I’ve always wanted to make both from scratch:)
I tweeted about the contest 🙂 https://twitter.com/SweetSuite10/status/334834984986738689
I think I’d make cookies and I know they’d have to be chocolate!
I’d definitely live the pasta roller and cutter set. I am a pasta – a – holic!
I tweeted too. Congrats on four years Mardi!
Thanks Mardi
I would whip up a lemon pound cake with fresh blueberries
I would love a pasta roller for quicker pasta making

I’d whip up some coconut frosting. 🙂
Wow, what a fabulous giveaway. I would totally whip up a creamy coconut and almond ice cream. yum! thanks!
and further to my comment below, I would choose the ice cream maker attachment to make the ice cream of my dreams 🙂
and yes I tweeted it too @tamarhaytayan – thanks!
real whipped cream, or maybe chocolate mousse!
i would love to try the ice cream maker. Why? Because I have 5 kids and a husband who LOVE icecream, plus I enjoy it myself!
https://twitter.com/mommy2fiveboys/status/334895107885117440

mommy2fiveboys
thank you so much for the chance!
If I won the kitchen aid mixer, I’d whip up a batch of pasta dough as I love making pasta from scratch.
And because I love making pasta, I’d choose a ravioli maker attachment, to take pasta making to the next level with some homemade butternut squash ravioli!
and I tweeted this.
I’d make macs!! I’ve tried once and I’d love to try again!
As for an attachement….I’ve get the meat grinder! My boyfriend hunts a lot so we’d definitely use it!
I would look forward to whipping up some fresh pasta for friends!
with the pasta maker attachment of course!
Congratulations on 4 years!
The first thing is would whip up is a key lime pie!
The attachment I would choose is a meat grinder so I could make my own sausage!
I would whip up a vanilla cake
I tweeted on Twitter 😀
https://twitter.com/ReadyOwl/status/335067408106651648
Congrats!!
I would whip up some homemade pasta and roll it with the pasta roller attachment!
Seeing that summer is soon to arrive, I’d like to whip up ice cream first!
ummm… i don’t want a KA stand mixer, I already have one so please don’t put this comment in the running :). All I wanted to say was HAPPY ANNIVERSARY my friend! Here’s to another four years!
I’d choose the ice cream maker attachment to make my favourite ice cream flavours!
I tweeted – here it is, https://twitter.com/tintin_girl/status/335072060747427840
Cool! Congrats, Mardi! First thing I’d whip up… probably chocolate chip cookies. My family loves them. 🙂
Congratulations! Good luck to all your Canadian readers. 🙂
I would definitely pick a grain mill – with all the gluten-free baking I do, I’d love to be able to save some $$ by grinding some of my own flours.
I tweeted on twitter! Tweet! 🙂
I tweeted. Also I would use the pasta attachment. My husband loves making pasta but I know this would speed up the process. Thanks for the chance to win. Many congrats on your 4 year anniversary, continued success.
I tweeted your contest and would loooove to be the lucky winner! I would make pavlova for the first time.
The first thing I would whip up? A batch of macarons! 😀
I’d love to try the sausage stuffer. We BBQ a lot during the summer, so it would be pretty cool to be able to make our own sausages – then I would know for sure that the best ingredients are going into them!
I tweeted! Here’s a link to my tweet:
https://twitter.com/kitchenfrolic/status/335080974226448384
Tweeted! @ehchowyyc
Ice cream, pasta roller, or sausage stuffer! I can’t decide. I am so hungry.
I am wavering between the ice cream maker and the slicer attachments; both would be welcome additions to my home. I think the first item I would whip up would be a family cake recipe because of the continuity of the generations eating a creation from a recipe passed over through the years.
Of course, count me out of the giveaway since I am not Canadian… But, Happy 4 years of blogging!! 🙂
First thing to try: brioche…on a lazy Sunday, with lots of butter…ond no dirty hands
Not entering the contest just wanted to say congrats. My blog also turns four this june. Thanks to your fabulous conference I’ve changed some of my direction in where I want my blog to go. Way to go Mardi! Hope to run into you at some event around TO
Congratulations on your blog turning 4! Mine turns 6 in a couple of weeks – can’t believe it’s been so long!
I’ve got a KitchenAid already, so I’m not entering the contest, but I want to say congratulations on your blogoversary! You’ve been a bright light in French Fridays and I’ve so enjoyed getting to know you a bit through your posts and following all your cooking adventures.
I’ve been wanting to try whipping chilled coconut milk fat into a whipped cream substitute for my dairy-allergic kid. That’s what I’d “whip up”. 🙂
I would make some of the wonderful madelines you made with les petit chefs
I would love to try the ice cream maker…perfect for the coming summer!
French macarons would be first on my list! Congratulations on your blog anniversary!
Definitely would choose the pasta attachment. It would get lots of use in my kitchen!
I tweeted! @MaureenReynolds97
Pasta Roller and Cutter! I have a counter top type/manual maker but I’m not so good at guiding the dough with one hand so this attachment makes it look alot more simple. I might just use it more than twice a year!!!!
I tweeted! thank-you
The first thing I would whip up would be some fluffy meringue to go on my lemon Meringue pie….fresh and light for spring. Bon Appetit!
I would definitely mix up some fun salad dressings 🙂
I want the pasta extruder! Have always wanted to try making my own pasta, that would definitely make me do it!
I tweeted here: https://twitter.com/beachrockinc/status/335488278801301506
I love every attachment, bread being my speciality! tweeted and shared.
i would whip up some pasta!
Well, the first thing I would whip up in my new Kitchen Aid stand mixer is a birthday cake for your blog of course! Something festive and fun to celebrate an amazing four years of blogging! Congratulations!
I visited the Kitchen Aid page and decided I would choose the ice cream maker attachment. Why? Well, every birthday cake needs some ice cream to go with it!
I tweeted the message @MusingMar
The first thing I would whip up is some chocolate cake batter.
Want to try the citrus juicer attachment cause I love juicing and being able to have one contraption that juices, mixes etc. would be ideal.
I would make fresh pasta. It’s so good
I am excited about the pasta extruder. Fresh pasta is heavenly. I get a kick out of watching it extrude and the different styles of pasta and to have total control of how much pasta to make. The grandchildren would love being a part of this. A great bonding moment.
tweeted https://twitter.com/votresibelle/status/335543406166167552
Happy 4th

Tweeted about the contest @ElemntalCustard
Also- I would totally love to try out the sausage maker! What interesting flavour combinations I could create.
I’d probably whip up an angel food cake or two with my new Kitchen Aid mixer!
I would most definitely like the ice cream attachment for the new Kitchen Aid mixer!
Here’s the link for the required Tweet: https://twitter.com/ZenHarmony/status/335597287621414912
Congratulations on four years!
I’d try making angel food cake first – I’ve shied away from it because beating a dozen egg whites with a whisk wouldn’t be fun.
I’d choose the pasta extruder, because I can do a lot of the other things without a mixer but there’s no way to make those types of pastas by hand.
Congrats Mardi on 4 fantastic years of always interesting, always colorful, always a pleasure to read blogs.
The first thing I’d whip up if I had a KA mixer would be a batch of GF oatmeal, blueberry, banana pancakes longing for some for breakfast right now!
I love the sausage stuffer. Have always wanted to make my own sausages
I’d whip up a batch of brownies!
I’d pick the fruit and vegetable strainer. So I could make easy applesauce. Yes please!
tweeted, thanks!
https://twitter.com/donnaelle/status/336136311356399616

tweeted! https://twitter.com/spikedcupcake/status/336294662744723456
If I had a KA mixer I’d be creating homemade waffle recipes.
I visited the FB page and boy oh boy, tough decision. I’d go with the ice cream attachment so I could experiment with making halo halo, a Philipino style ice cream made with kidney beans. My kids would have a blast creating various ice creams as well.
Sent out the tweet: I entered to win a Kitchen Aid stand mixer+ attachment from @eatlivtravwrite + you can too (Canada only) http://bit.ly/YHzjAw holiday Monday 2: 57 pm. Good luck to everyone. What a great prize! Happy 4th blogger b-day too.

Strawberry Shortcake, using my Grandmother’s recipe …. and, of course, the whipped cream to go with the shortcake!
I want to make homemade pizza dough!! would love this. My son and I have been dying to make homemade pizza dough and I think this would make it easier! What wouldn’t we make with this! Holy, my mind is spinning with yummy ideas!!

Two words…chocolate cake. 😉

Congratulations on your blog’s 4th birthday. I love whipped shortbread and the Kitchenaid mixer makes beating that batter a breeze.
I would love the ice cream maker attachment because I’m dying to get an ice cream maker, but this would be so much more practical.
I’ve tweeted about this contest. Happy birthday!
I tweeted! (and I didn’t say why! but i love to make my own oat flour for the grain mill)
I would love to win a Kitchen Aid mixer for my wife as she has wanted one for a long time but we are doing kitchen renos so haven’t made the purchase. The shreddar and food grinder attachments are super. I did not know the mixer could do all these things. The first thing my wife would do if she got a mixer is whip up a batch of cookies or muffins.
The first thing I would do is make a gluten free vegan cherry pie. Who doesn’t like that with a good cup of coco? Then I’d watch twin peaks all over again.
I would use the Fruit / Vegetable Strainer. This would be so much easier than using a juicer. Plus, the clean up would be a snap. Amazing. I didn’t even know this was an option. Very cool.
I tweeted about the contest! Thanks!!
tweet posted <3
I’d whip up my mom’s pastry and make a rhubarb pie to welcome spring (with whipped cream, of course!)
I would make Compost Cookies – they are seriously the hardest cookies I’ve ever done and you definitely need a stand mixer to do them!

And here’s my tweet!! https://twitter.com/OceanScented/status/337006725423042561

I would make a couple of batches of cupcakes. My daughter loves to decorate them and they are always great to pack for lunches.
Hard to know which to choose, they all look like wonderful options. I think I would choose the slicer/shredder attachment because of all the salads I make and vegetables I prepare.

I would whip up a few batches of cookies, this machine would be awesome in mixing dough, no more sore hands and arms 🙂
Wow I didn’t know that there were so many attachments, I would love to make some homemade ice cream oh and some fresh pasta with the pasta maker..wow!
I should have only posted one attachment sorry but it was hard to pick just one, so my attachment of choice would be the ice cream maker, nothing taste better than homemade ice cream, I could make so many different flavours right in my kitchen 🙂
First thing I would Whip Up is some Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies. That would be so good!
I would make a back fores cake and I would use the KA stand mixer for every step of the process
The attachment I would love to try is the Ice Cream Maker. What a great treat for the family but homemade ice cream where you know exactly whats going in it. Plus when you have family members with nut allergies you can never be too cautious.

I’d first whip up cinnamon rolls.
The attachment I would pick is the Food Grinder. I’d use it to make my own ground chicken and turkey. I currently use a food processor to do it, but it is a pain to clean afterwards and turns the meat into more of a puree than ground up.
I tweeted https://twitter.com/newfiechic/status/337686384498311169
The first thing I would try is pizza dough. The mixer would make the process less messy and so much easier.

First thing I would make with my Kitchen Aid mixer would be cinnamon rolls! Homemade, fresh and hot!
I would get the sausage stuffer attachment because I was watching a cooking show where they used the Kitchen Aid mixer sausage stuffer attachment, and it was easy. They made very flavourful and healthy sausages, you can control what goes into the sausage. Who doesn’t like a sausage on the grill!

Would love to make a unique batch of macarons with the Kitchen aid. Perhaps, one with mayan chocolate? or lychee soho macarons?
In terms of kitchen aid attachments, the juicer you featured looks quite neat. It would certainly help increase my fruit intake. Otherwise, another practical item would be the meat attachments (grinder, sausage maker etc..). Who doesn’t love making their own meat items?!

I think the attachment that would best suit me is the slicer/shredder because right now all I have is a hand-held slicer/shredder and it is highly ineffective and time consuming to use. This attachment to the Kitchen-Aid Stand Mixer looks ideal for our busy family!

Congratulations on your 4th blogging anniversary Mardi! You are definitely one of Canada’s most inspiring food bloggers, you have so many accomplishments to be proud of! Keep up the good work 🙂
What a generous giveaway to celebrate your anniversary! YOU should get the gift 🙂 I don’t own a KitchenAid stand mixer and I’ve been dreaming of getting one for many many years. If one should ever enter my kitchen, the first thing I’d do is a fresh batch of macarons to christen it!
My attachment of choice would definitely be the pasta roller and cutter set. I love fresh pasta and I have a hand-cracked machine at home, but I have to admit that I’m most often too lazy to take it out and make them from scratch! I’d love to be able to speed up the process with the ingenious KitchenAid attachment.
