Is there anything that Joanna Gaines does that we don’t enjoy? The star of the hit HGTV show Fixer Upper has inspired us with her impeccable design skills, along with her skills in the kitchen. We’ve tested countless recipes inspired by Magnolia Table, her restaurant in Texas, and have definitely earmarked our favorite recipes from her second cookbook, Magnolia Table, Volume 2.
Now, there’s the Joanna Gaines stand mixer by KitchenAid at Target just in time for the holidays!
An Elegant Mixer for All Kitchens
Created for Target by Chip and Joanna’s Hearth & Hand for Magnolia brand, the KitchenAid stand mixer comes in an exclusive color called Pebbled Palm. It’s one of the prettiest stand mixer we’ve ever seen! The gorgeous hue is a dark sage green that would look beautiful in any kitchen. And unlike many of the other KitchenAid mixers that come in a glossy, high-shine finish, this one comes in an elegant, textured matte.
You may have caught a glimpse of the mixer in the free mini cooking lessons Joanna has been sharing on Instagram:

With 10 speeds, you can use this tilt-head mixer for many things—stirring wet and dry ingredients together, kneading bread dough, whipping cream and so much more. It also comes equipped with a dishwasher-safe 5-quart stainless steel bowl, so you never run out of mixing room. (When that’s in the dishwasher, swap in one of KitchenAid’s prettiest mixer bowls.) They say it’s large enough to mix up to 9 dozen cookies in one batch, so we suggest trying Joanna’s recipe for Crew’s Cookies.
Where Can I Buy It?
Joanna Gaines’ stand mixer by KitchenAid is available at Target. Knowing how popular the Gaines products are—Magnolia Table, Volume 1 became an instant best-seller, according to the New York Times—we have no doubt this gorgeous mixer will be popular for the holidays. Get it before it’s gone!
