Today is the day folks!
In case you missed my post on Monday explaining what’s going on. . here’s a recap:
I’ve partnered with KitchenAid to help promote 1,000 Cooks for the Cure. “Susan G. Komen® and KitchenAid are uniting for the 13th year in a row to support the fight against breast cancer. The Cook for the Cure® program gives people with a passion for cooking a way to support a meaningful cause. From pink products and celebrity chef auctions to home-based fundraising events, this partnership between KitchenAid and Susan G. Komen® has raised more than $9.5 million over the past decade!
1,000 Cooks for the Cure
If you enjoy cooking and entertaining, we invite you to host a gathering that supports a meaningful cause this July. Called “1,000 Cooks for the Cure”, the initiative aims to enlist 1,000 cooks from the U.S. to host a get-together with friends, family or colleagues anytime from July 18-27. In lieu of a host gift, guests are encouraged to bring a donation in any amount to support the fight against breast cancer. Those interested in hosting a party can visit Cook for the Cure to register and obtain a unique host identification number.”
So, I really hope you take some time today, read about 1,000 Cooks for the Cure and sign up to HOST A PARTY! You’ll gain extra entries (and good giveaway karma) for this giveaway if you do!
The party or gathering doesn’t have to be lavish or complicated. Simply invite some friends over and serve some cupcakes and coffee (or my sangria!) and keep it simple. Or if you want to plan something bigger, KitchenAid is here to help with everything! From the invitations, a party guide for hosting tips and donation gathering information to a Pinterest board for pink inspired recipes! So, what’s stopping you?
I hope you join me in celebrating and supporting this great cause.

After losing people I love to Breast Cancer, Susan G. Komen represents advocacy and hope for me and my family.
Such a great cause this disease touches so many.
It means hope for breast cancer in finding a cure, which I hope will be soon for all the women and families that have to deal with this disease, one of which is my precious daughter.
I’ve lost several people to cancer so I appreciate any money that goes toward researching a cure.
Such a great cause. It means hope and support.
Thx for being a part of something wonderful and for inviting us in to it. SGKF creates community and empowers those who are fighting the fight on all levels. Awesome!
I think 1000 Cooks for the Cure is a great idea, which supports a great cause. Many years ago I lost my grandmother to breast cancer. She was the one that got me into cooking in the first place. When other kids went outside to play; I was standing on a stool in her kitchen, learning how to cook and bake. I can really say my passion for baking came from her. She would always say “Add a little extra love!” normally this was in reference to butter or sugar but I swear you could taste the love in her dishes. I am hosting a party in her honor. 1000 Cooks for the Cure to me is for hope for the future, so more grandmothers will be around to share their passions with their granddaughters.

Thank you for helping to find a cure.
It’s another brilliant way to increase awareness and show support for an amazing cause
As an oncology pharmacist working at a cancer center, I see patients everyday suffering from cancer. Some survive, some don’t, and some are barely hanging on. The more research that is done, the more we can help with the survival rate.
It means survival…and hope. I have a very very dear childhood friend who is a survivor!
It means raising awareness, showing support, and working towards a cure.

It means that we have a wonderful community of caring women working towards the common goal of finding a cure.
A cure is in the future i hope! I lost my aunt/godmother to breast cancer and she was an advocate for fighting for a cure until the day she passed.
1000 Cooks for the Cure means hope for a brighter future – for patients, for families, for community!
As a nurse that sees many patients affected by breast cancer, it means that maybe some of these patients would have increased hope and help for theirselves or their family.
I definitely think it’s to spread and show support as well bring sweets and joy to everyone!

Such a great cause! The color is amazing!
We can heal ourselves by eating a plant-based organic diet and avoiding as many chemicals as possible. It’s not possible to be chemical free since our food, air, water, and environment are saturated with them. But so many people have reversed their cancers by living a healthier lifestyle.
The 1,000 Cooks for the Cure program is a way to get together and show support for those strong women who have breast cancer or have had it in the past. I think it’s a great way to empower women in general, to defeat cancer!
What a great cause!
To me it means hope for all the women affected, or that will be affected, with this cancer.
Can’t wait to host a party.

The #CooksfortheCure project important to me because in times of hardship and adversity, there are almost always two things which we turn to: the ones we love and who love us and food. This project allows both of those things to come together in times of ease and merry in order to raise awareness and contributions to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which has opened doors to many families and has been a source of hope when times were tough.
Susan G. Komen means to me means hope for a better tomorrow. It represents banding together to love, support and fight.
1,000 cook for the cure means a lot to me because my grandma suffered and recovered from breast cancer.
1000 Cooks for the Cure represent a dedication to find better treatments for breast cancers.

Thank you, Margaret!!
My aunt passed away from breast cancer. I pray everyday there will be a cure so no one has to go through it anymore.
It means a lot of hope for a lot of people—not just women…for whole families.
It means people coming together for a great cause that is close to my heart. My aunt passed away from Breast Cancer at the age of 40.
I think it is awesome. I have many people in my family with cancer right now. Why not a cure for ALL cancer!!!
Such a great event.
The Cooks for the Cure Project is perfect in everyday. It allows loved ones to gather together in times of friendship and support. It brings people together around FOOD while all the while raising awareness. It can’t get much better than that is you ask me. Especially after seeing so many fellow women (and their loved ones) suffer through this disease.
every way**
I’d love to win and host a party in celebration and in memory of all my friends and family who have had their lives impacted breast cancer.
It means there’s hope for a cure someday!
Family, friend, co-worker…
I am currently battling a re-occurrence of breast cancer(stage 4) but I have my 2 year old little man to keep me motivated. It’s been a tough road but things are looking up!!
Lisa, thanks so much for sharing your story. . love the positive attitude and pray that things only get better for you!!
For me, 1,000 Cooks for the Cure means hope to find a cure for breast cancer. And with every donation we help support each other to help find this cure.

My family has a history of breast cancer, and I am at high risk myself. Anything that brings us closer to a cure means the world to me.
What an amazing opportunity! I can’t wait to see all of the blog posts from the parties that were hosted.
We’ve lost my grandmother and my aunt to breast cancer. Finding a cure is very personal to me and I’m thankful for every step towards it so that others don’t have to experience the same pain of watching their loved ones suffer and then ultimately losing them.
Because food is love and love is universal, so my cookies are universal? 1,000 cooks is the best way to open an dialogue, no-one argues with a cookie in their mouth…you look silly
It means strength, hope, and community most of all. It’s amazing how many people they’ve touched.
What a great movement! I can’t wait to see all the great pictures and blog posts from these parties!
Any organization that draws attention to women’s health issues and encourages healthy debate is good in my book!
To me — it’s help – sharing, and caring for those who have no choice but to deal with the diagnosis of cancer. Looking for a cure – so that the suffering and deaths can end.
It’s wonderful that Susan G. Komen®, KitchenAid, & Hip Foodie Mom are uniting to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer. I would love to win the Raspberry Ice mixer!
I see it as a way to open up the conversation in a gathering of family and friends and at the same time be helping.
It means that there are going to be so many women and their families who will have support and hopefully stop future women from suffering of the horrible cancer that has taken so many women and men.
This organization gives hope to every person out there that they can find a cure for cancer!
I support the Susan G Komen foundation as a tribute to my friends/co-workers that have suffered from breast cancer. Luckily, all of these lovely ladies survived and I would like that to be the case for all of the men and women that have breast cancer in the future.
It means the world to me! Lost my mother 5 years ago to breast cancer.
Hi James, thank you for sharing!! Here’s to Cook for the Cure!!
I means hope and support for those who have been affected by breast cancer.
