QVC Demo Recipes: KitchenAid Artisan “Custom” Stand Mixer TSV, 12/9/20

These are my favorite sugar cookies!  They are buttery, soft and have great vanilla flavor.  Grandma Appolonia always added a little white icing to the top of them.

Classic Gingerbread Cookies to roll and cut out with your favorite cookie cutters! The dough is flavored with the classic spices: ginger, cinnamon and clove. A little touch of orange zest makes them extra special! Decorate with simple royal icing and let the cookie party begin!

A new cookie for your holiday table! Classic gingerbread dough scented with a touch of orange zest; then studded with white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. They bake up thick and chewy!

These Soft Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies are thick, soft, chewy and have just enough tang from the cream cheese to offset some of the sweetness in the cookie and the buttercream frosting. Makes 2 dozen (2 1/2 inch approx.) Cookies.

Our favorite banana bread bakes up into a nice tall, moist loaf with great banana flavor! It’s buttery and sweet, but not too sweet – I’ve reduced the sugar amount over the years and added part whole wheat flour and either wheat germ or golden flaxseed meal to “up” the nutritional value.

Creamy, fluffy, buttery mashed potatoes that you can mash with your hand mixer or mash and whip with your KitchenAid Stand Mixer (see video in recipe post on website.) Make ahead 1-2 hours and keep them warm in your slow-cooker.

Italian Style Meatballs that are quick and easy to make! You can use ground beef from the market or check out my video and instructions for grinding your own beef!

There’s nothing quite like making your own bread! Really gives you a feeling of accomplishment! (and it smells amazing!) This bread bakes up soft and fluffy, yet sturdy enough to slice. It’s great slathered with some butter and makes delicious sandwiches – hello best PB & J ever! The next day I love it toasted with jam or made into french toast!

These cinnamon rolls rise overnight in the refrigerator. This dough is rich with butter, milk, an egg and egg yolks – reminds me of tender and rich brioche dough. I always spread the warm rolls with a simple icing the melts, coats the rolls and slips into all the cinnamon swirls.  Sometimes I make a simple butter, powdered sugar and milk icing, sometimes I make one with cream cheese – either way, they’re delicious!

You can stabilize whipped cream by adding a little instant pudding mix to the heavy cream. It will help to keep your whipped cream from weeping and deflating – so you can whip it up to a day in advance! This recipe also makes a great whipped cream frosting and I use as a substitute for Cool Whip.

The chess pie originated in the south and is a sweet custard pie that tastes, to me, like caramelized butter & sugar.  As it bakes, it forms a thin crust on top that is simply irresistible.

A moist and delicious cake from 3 ingredients! This is such a fun way to make a boxed cake mix.  Instead of adding the typical the water and oil to your cake mix, you add melted ice cream along with some eggs.  Think of all the flavor combinations you can try!!

This easy homemade coleslaw dressing is delicious! It’s creamy and tangy and full of fresh herbs! You can use bagged pre-shredded cabbage or cut it yourself!

This Cheesy Herb Beer Bread is delicious, super-quick and easy to make. It bakes up into a savory “quick bread” style loaf. This one has shredded cheese and dried herbs added, use what you have on hand! The bread gets bathed in melted butter 2 times while baking, so it has a wonderful, slightly crumbly, buttery crust.

Tender thinly sliced potatoes layered with white cheddar and gruyere cheese baked with cream and stock that’s seasoned with Dijon mustard and thyme. A sprinkling of extra cheese on top browns up nice and crispy.

This is the smaller, half-size, version of our favorite “Macaroni & Cheese for a Crowd Recipe”. This version makes 10-12 servings depending on serving size. The recipe is a crowd favorite with a blend of cheddar and American cheese. It’s topped with buttered bread crumbs.
