Happy 5th Birthday, This Week for Dinner!
It’s kind of surreal. I really, truly can’t believe I’ve been plugging away at this blog for five years. When I started the blog, I only posted once a week and, quite honestly, I only ever expected my friends Adrianne and Emily to bop on here to tell me what they were cooking for dinner (they were always better planners than me). Little did I know what I was getting myself into! It’s been such a fun ride and has opened up so many amazing opportunities for me. But what I’m most grateful for is all of YOU…for reading, for sharing, and for connecting, with me and with each other. This blog would not be what it is without you. So, happy birthday!
Today I made Julia Child’s Best Ever Brownies to celebrate. And, in true Jane fashion, I undercooked them. I’m always undercooking things when I bake, it’s ridiculous! This morning’s experience reminded me of a comment my sweet husband Nate made when I started the blog: “Jane starting a food blog is like me starting a painting blog.” In case you’re wondering {despite his claims of a Renaissance year in fifth grade} Nate is not artistic, so yes, that made it a sarcastic, snarky comment. And yes, he thinks he’s funny {so do I, actually}. Well, the joke’s on him. I’ve still got a food blog! Neener neener. Although, apparently five years of food blogging has not helped fix my under-baking mental hiccup! But I digress…
To celebrate 5 years, how about a giveaway from KitchenAid? Sounds good to me!
I love KitchenAid. I love my stand mixer. I use it all the time. I love my measuring spoons. I use them all the time. And now…I love my hand blender! I use it…well, I’ve used it twice because I just got it! But it rocked. I’ve always wanted a hand blender and finally I have one! (Thanks, KitchenAid!) My hand blender’s maiden voyage was with cream of mushroom soup. It worked beautifully and the soup had a wonderful texture. And then, this morning as I was whipping up the brownies, I had a hand blender epiphany! The recipe uses a lot of bowls. It’s kind of annoying, actually. There’s a part where I normally beat the eggs in my stand mixer, but I just didn’t feel like getting it out and washing yet another bowl. And I didn’t feel like digging around my utensils for the hand mixer beaters, so I started to whisk by hand. After about 10 seconds, my arm was tired. And then it hit me…the hand blender has a whisk attachment! It was easy to grab from its special storage case, easy to use, and easy to clean. It was quite serendipitous since I was making the brownies for this very post!
This giveaway is now closed. Thank you! And now you have a chance to get your own hand blender and have your own blending epiphanies! To celebrate TWFD’s big day, we are giving away one KitchenAid 5-Speed Hand Blender (retail $129.99)! It’s fancy dancy, complete with chopper attachment, blender attachment, removable pan guard (so you can use it in any pan without damaging the pan), whisk, blade covers, and a storage case. It’s super easy to attach and detach the blades and to clean the various pieces. It’s pretty much just plain old awesome. That’s all.
To enter, just do what you always do! Leave a comment on this post before Midnight PT on Tuesday, February 7. One randomly-selected winner will be announced on February 8.
Good luck! And make sure to eat some chocolate today. The blog wants you to. It is the blog’s birthday after all, you should probably just do it.
Hello! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and then count on you to share your own! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!

I totally want this hand blender! I got a regular blender for Christmas (yes, I asked for it), and my 7yo daughter selected a KitchenAid blender “because it’s mommy’s favorite brand in the kitchen!”

I’ve just started reading this blog yesterday and am now obsessed. It also seems that me and TWFD have the same birthday.. So happy 5th!!
I would love to win a hand mixer. I have arthritis in my hands and shoulders and it would make baking cakes and cookies for my grandbabies and hubby so much easier for me. Thank you for considering me for this contest.
Happy Foody Birthday Jane! Wish you could cyber some of those brownies this way. I know, if you choose me I promise to make some brownies too and send you a picture. Keep on blogging.
Congratulations Jane and Thank you for the give away,Love to have one.
Happy blog birthday!!! I have been following for the past year and I love your recipes and the fact that your blog got me into meal planning. I feel my husband and I eat a lot healthier and have a better variety of meals now. Thank you for the inspiration!
Happy birthday TWFD!!
Great giveaway!!
Happy 5th Birthday
)))))))))))))))))))))
Happy birthday!
Happy 5th Birthday! I would absolutely love to get my hands on Kitchen-Aid’s hand blender.
Underbaked brownies are the best brownies, in my opinion! You want them a bit chewier and gooier in the middle. Sincerely. I say this not to soften the blow of what is obviously a serious and untreated underbaking condition you have contracted. Happy anniversary! I’m so happy I stumbled on your blog and have already reaped the benefits of your teriyaki chicken that my kids just love (they affectionately call it “the stringy chicken” and ask for it by name).
Happy Birthday TWFD!
I’m fairly new to the blog and so far, I LOVE IT!! Happy 5th, keep it up and bring on the recipes…oh and the hand mixer too!
Congrats!
Happy Blog Birthday! Great job! You have just inspired me to get back to my blog after a long absence.
Happy birthday!! Love the blog!
Congrats on 5 years, Jane!
Congratulations! Happy 5th~
Happy Blog Birthday to YOuuuuuuuuu! Love it! I mean, what did we DO before blogs????
Love your blog! Congrats on 5 years! Looking forward to more!
Happy 5th!!
Congrats! Your blog doesn’t look a day over 4 years, 364 days. LOL
congrats!!!
Good job! Keep it up!
Happy birthday! I will definitely have some chocolate to celebrate!
I would LOVE to win so I can try out your puffed oven pancake recipe!
Would love to give this to my daughter for her birthday!
Happy birthday and congrats!!
Totally want this the blender. And Happy birthday!
Happy 5 years! Congrats that is quite a milestone.
Happy birthday
Happy Blogiversary! What a lovely giveaway, thank you for the chance. Btw, undercooked brownies, don’t seem so bad. I’d just add some ice cream and a spoon, problem solved.
What a great prize, I could definitely use it.
I’m newbie here, referred over by KitchenAid on twitter. Love the site so far. Happy birthday and thanks so much for the giveaway.
PS – I had a piece of chocolate in your honor today. After all, the blog wanted me to.
Congratulations on five great years. I would love to the blender because I recently decided to go back to school for culinary arts at Rel Maples Institute in Sevierville, Tennessee. A blender would help me complete school projects and learn new cooking techniques. Thank you for considering me.
Happy blogiversary!
This would be fun!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for the chance…love KitchenAid!
*win
Happy Birthday
congrats on 5yrs
:) love all the recipes 
What an amazing tool! I would use it for so many things- first and foremost this blended chickpea soup recipe I’ve had my eye on for a while. Yum!
Happy birthday to your blog!
nice brownie! Happy birthday.
Happy Birthday! I love this blog and look forward to following it for the next 5 years and beyond!
Happy Birthday blog! I used to stress out about planning meals every week for my family before finding this blog — now I plan almost three weeks out (of course I modify on the fly) but having a plan helps so incredibly much!
I love all of my Kitchaid products (most recently we bought a KitchenAid dishwasher — pretty great so far). I would LOVE that hand blender.
Happy 5 yrs! Here’s to another 5 more!!
I So would LOVE to have this.I am starting cake decorating classes next week and between this and our stand mixer it would help out so much.Thank you for all you do.♥
Congrats, Jane! I’m so impressed with how far you’ve come with this blog. Here’s to many more years to come.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I love you your blog!!!
and thanks for the giveaway!
Happy 5th Birthday…..even thought I only found this blog a couple of months ago I love it!!! I tend to plan meals now instead of just doing it Food Network “Chopped” style by opening up the cabinets and seeing what I got!! LOL
The first thing I would make is sweet potato cream soup, and thanks for the contest!!!
Happy birthday! I will happily eat chocolate in your honor.
I also love KitchenAid – my Kitchen is almost all KitchenAid….things I couldn’t do wothout. A 3 yr old standmixer that is used almost every day. A fridge, pots and pans, measuring spoons and utensils. I love my stand mixer so much that as each of our kids get married they get gifts of standmixers and pots and pans to start them out in the right direction. A KitchenAid Hand Blender would sure be an added benefit to my kitchen!
Congratulations on a blog extremely well done!
Happy 5th birthday! Congratulations and wishing you many more years of success in blogging. Now off to eat some chocolate. You don’t need to tell me twice.
Happy blirthday!

I have a cheap hand-mixer that I use to whip up waffle mix, mashed potatoes, and cake mixes (just what comes to mind). I have a Kitchen-Aid standup mixer I got for Christmas a couple of years ago and would love a matching hand-mixer.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Happy Birthday! I absolutely love KitchenAid Products. I have the stand mixer (20 years old) and the Food Processor (5 years)…they spoil me rotten with their dependability!!! Would love the hand blender
I will for sure eat some chocolate!!! Happy Birthday TWFD! I have barely started my own meal planning blog, so this gives me hope that maybe it can become something big like yours!

Happy 5th birthday! I just found you today through KitchenAid’s FB page. I too LOVE my stand mixer and have been wanting a hand blender.

Happy Birthday, Blog! I would make something decadent. So many choices.
Happy birthday! Love the mixer.
Looks like a blender I could like.I have the small one, but sometimes it’s just not enough. I’ll have to keep this one in mind. Happy Birthday!
hand blender comment! Underbaked is better than dry!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY To one of my favorite blogs!
Happy 5th ! Love it ! I would make my daughter chocolate cake because it is almost her 6th !
5 years – Wow how times flies. Congrats!!!!
Happy happy Birthday!!!
Happy birthday!! Have been wanting a KitchenAid hand blender to make soups and smoothies, among other things!!
Happy birthday! Love my stand mixer, but I have always wanted one of these mixers I can use right in the pot and keep going without dirtying so many dishes. I’m really good at making a mess while cooking, but absolutely despise cleaning up after. Must have tool!
Looks perfect for soups!!
Happy bday! I’ll eat some chocolate!
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday to your blog. Look forward to the 6th and lots of great recipes!
Happy Birthday!!! I so want to win
Congrats!
I would love a new hand blender!
Happy Blog Birthday! I hope you continue to love to blog for at least 5 more years and then another 5.
Yay for you, yay for us! Thanks for this awesome give away
Five years really? Happy Birthday! I really can’t believe it has been that long and you are STILL going strong. I’m so impressed!
To celebrate, I think it’s only fair that Emily or I wins… you know, since we were there at the beginning and all. Love you Jane!
5 years of awesomeness! Love the giveaway too…hoping I win!!
Ohhh! That is fancy dancy – I love it! Kitchenaid products are the best! Congratulations Jane on sticking with your fabulous food blog despite the naysayers (ahem – husbands are supposed to back you up BTW) I would love to win this prize – sadly my Kitchenaid mixer is getting on in years {20 years almost}and starting to make funny noises. I think this hand blender would be awesome for ‘hiding’ those unwanted veggies that the kids don’t like – and for apple butter making day too! Smooth! I whip way to much cream for hot cocoa so this would be super fast and easy with the whisk attachment! If I don’t win, it’s going on my Birthday Wish List!
happy blog birthday! what a wonderful giveaway – look at all of those awesome attachments!
Happy 5 Years!!! : )
I would love a hand blender like that! It looks awesome! And way to go on 5 years.
Congrats. Here’s to 5 more.

Happy 5th! I would love one of those!

Happy birthday!!!!
It goes by so quickly! Happy 5!
5 years, congratulations!!! I love undercooked brownies, they are always the best!
Congratulations on 5 years that is great. I have to say that I have just the opposite of your problem, I either over cook or burn lately. I guess I’m just making sure it’s cooked. This hand blender would really come in handy. Now just to get rid of the burn problem. Great blog, can’t wait to read more.
Congrats on 5 years! That’s awesome. I haven’t been as diligent with my meal planning lately..really need to get back into the routine. By the way, those brownies look delicious. I may be making those this week!
Cindy

Congratulations on your 5-year mark!
I would love to have a hand blender…I didn’t know about them when I made my wedding registry, or I so would have asked for one! I bet they really simplify cooking and baking, and I am all about that!
Happy Bday! I made your pesto chicken salad this weekend….YUM!
I’d sure love to give that blender a whirl! Congratulations on 5 years of food blogging!
I could use one of these! I don’t bake in the quantities I used to.
Happy Birthday!

Five years – you rock, Jane!! The hand blender giveaway made me chuckle because I’ve been researching hand blenders the last few weeks. Hoping the fact that I haven’t bought one yet means I will win this one!!

Happy Birthday TWFD! Congrats on 5 years!
Happy Birthday. I love baking and hope I receive your birthday giveaway.
Love that mixer! Happy birthday!
Love the blog. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!! Just ate a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie that my 13 year old made to celebrate.
Happy Birthday TWFD! I love kitchen appliances!
Happy 5th Birthday! I love Kitchen Aid!
I love undercooked brownies. Have Nate bring them over to us.
Happy Birthday to this awesome website! And here’s to hoping for some KitchenAid tools for my kitchen!
Happy Birthday! What a great way to celebrate…with chocolate!!
Happy Blogday! Thanks for sharing, consistency and your genuineness. Of course, I’d love the KitchenAid blender too.
Happy birthday! Save me a brownie! I share your love for the hand mixer, as ours died recently and I have not yet found a suitable replacement. The one you’re giving away is super fancy and I’m sure it made a great brownie mix. One that you’re saving for me because I love birthday brownies. Right? Well…if you can’t save me a brownie personally – have a sip of milk with a brownie on my behalf and I will sing a fancy version of happy birthday for your hard working blog! Congrats!!
Happy Birthday to you KitchenAid and thank you for another great give away. I am sure anyone that wins will be able to use this product. I for one love it. Congratulations on 5 years and may you have many many more.
Five is a lucky number!!
Congrats on 5 years! My hand blender just broke so winning this would be awesome. I used it for everything and am a little lost without it!!
Happy birthday TWFD! Yay!
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!! I will be making these brownies and yes undercooked and hot oh so yummy:)
Kitchen Aid products are the best. I am still using my mom’s KitchenAid 5 quart mixer that was a wedding present to her in 1939! Love your blog Jane, and congratulations on 5 years. Would love to see some gluten free recipes
)
Happy 5 years! Thank you for your blog. I find so much inspiration from it on a weekly basis. I inherited my Grandma`s red kitchen aid stand mixer 6 years ago. It is very special to me.
You should be proud you are celebrating your 5th year! I hope you have many more….
I must live under a rock because I had no idea this existed. A hand blender with all those attachments – do want! Just found you via KA’s Facebook post (how timely – I am becoming downright desperate for dinner ideas), and about to go “like” you there too. Happy birthday to your blog!
Happy Happy Fifth Birthday & Congratulations Jane! I still remember those yummy chicken nachos that we had at your place in Boston way back when!
Oh I’ve been wanting a hand blender. I love my big Kitchenaid stand mixer but darn that thing is HEAVY to haul out. Would love something that is easy to whip out to beat up an egg white. Cause, really, the manual way just causes whisk elbow!
Happy Birthday and Congratulations!
Congratulations and happy 5 years! Just discovered this blog and I’m excited to learn more and get into meal planning myself
Yay for 5 years!
Happy Birthday!
Happy 5th Birthday. That is a great accomplishment. I have not used a hand blender but I know there are times I need one. Kitchen Aid is a can’t live without kind of product. I love everything I own that is Kitchen Aid.
Congrats on 5 wonderful yrs!
This has reminded me that 1) I’ve been here a few years, too, 2) I simply do NOT own enough kitchen gadgets. I am still trying to justify an honest-to-goodness full blown KitchenAid stand mixer…I’m sure I NEED one.
This hand mixer is beautiful.
I’m glad this is easily cleanable – In that case I might actually use it if I win it.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday. It’s scary how quick time goes by. This little kit would be awesome for making baby food! Fingers crossed….
I run bake sales for charity at my school, and I usually have to dedicate an entire weekend to baking before any event! A hand mixer would probably make things a lot easier. Then again though, baking can be a surprisingly good workout!
Happy Birthday!
love your blog. this mixer would be great since the 5th is my birthday. keep up the great work.
Five years! Congratulations to you and your beautiful family. Miss you tremendously in San Diego. Best wishes for another successful 5 years…….and then some!!!!!
Congratulations on five years!
Happy Birthday! Wow, 5 years! Congrats Jane. I will continue to eat plenty of chocolate today in honor of you!
One of these mixers would be so convenient Id love to win it.
Congrats! Love reading you blog!
Happy Wonderful 5th Birthday <3 ! I will definitely have some chocolate in your honor! Lol! If i win the mixer I will make from scratch some chocolate cupcakes, chocolate buttercream and ganache to continue the celebration!!!
I love KA products. I have been a KA mixer owner for over 20 years and love your products. At Christmas I received a hand blender and am really impressed. If I win the hand mixer I will give it to my youngest daughter, who is off on pregnancy leave and or would be a great pick me up gift. She is a Chef (and a great one at that). So she would get good use of it. Thank you KA for my years of pleasure.
Love to bake cakes . mixer would be great.
Ohhhh…….that would be a great new addition to my kitchen. Trying new things and love that I found your blog. Great job!! Congratulations on your 5 years.
Happy Birthday!!
Congratulations on 5 years of blogging. And slightly undercooked brownies are the best!!
Congrats! I love your blog so much! Although I am horrible at posting, we always menu plan and often use your blog to get ideas. Awesome and practical concept!
I just found your site, liked you on FB and signed up for emails. Congratulations on 5 years. I would love to win that wonderful KitchenAid hand blender set.
Time flies when you’re having fun! Congrats and here’s to many more wonderful years!
Happy, happy, birthday to this week for dinner!!
Fantastic blender, throw my name on the hat!
I meant into the hat!!
Happy 5th Birthday This Week for Dinner!!! Congratulations Jane! You’ve come a long way baby! Wouldn’t I be happy if I won this awesome gift! I love KitchenAid!! I love your blog!!
I would love to give this to me daughter. Congratulations on your 5year celebration.
Happy Blog Birthday! I’ve been reading since the beginning & I’ve loved it always!
Happy Blog Birthday! I so want to win this giveaway! Thank you for the opportunity!
Way to go on 5 years of blogging! I just recently found your site and think it’s super helpful!
Happy birthday! Love your blog!
I got my first KitchenAid stand mixer this Christmas, who wouldn’t want anything KitchenAid, to me it is like a John Deere!!! I love my John Deere and anything John Deere is wonderful now I can add Kitchen Aid along side!
This looks very handy. I love kitchenaid. But unfortunately i have to give up ALL my kitchen equipment because i recently got married and will be moving from Switzerland to the US in 2 months as my husband lives in Georgia. And since shipping costs are astronomical and voltage is different I have to part with many of my beloved kitchen tools.
Happy Blog Birthday!! Love your recipes!
Yay for giveaways!
I would use it when I can tomatoes to help sauce them. Happy Birthday.
Wow, 5 years! Congrats! I´d love to win that blender!
Hooray for 5 years!
Congratulations!!! Thank you for this blog!
Oh my goodness! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
So, we’re moving and in moving I’m packing and packing. Last night I needed to make cupcakes for my kids’ school for today and I took out my hand mixer- which is one of my only appliances left NOT PACKED- and IT DID NOT WORK!
This is my THIRD hand mixer and, really, I should have just gone with the Kitchen Aid to begin with! This would be a wonderful addition to our new kitchen!!
Thank you for sharing for 5 years!
Happy Birthday! I’m a huge fan!
Happy Birthday! And thank you for this blog. My family thanks you too, we have had some delicious dinners (and treats) because of your willingness to share.
I would love this! Thanks for the opportunity.
Happy Happy Birthday – hope to eventually get a Kitchenaid mixer. Keep up the good work on the blog.
Happy Birthday!! Congrats!!
Happy Birthday…I love reading your blog!
Happy Birthday!! This hand blender looks AMAZING!

Happy Birthday, Blog
! Thanks, Jane for the amazing recipes and tips you’ve shared thought all these years!
Happy birthday, blog!! I hope for many more birthdays!
Congrats Jane! Happy Birthday TWFD!
I totally love the new KA appliances including this and the new Food Processor that has different slicing sizes right on the machine, locking blade, and all sorts of other cool features. The pan guard on this immersion blender is pretty smart!
I just found this wonderful blog a few weeks ago and it’s saved me a few times at dinner time already! Thank you!!! Happy Birthday too
Also, I LOVE kitchen aid brand! They make great stuff!
Yes, please.
Congratulations on 5 years Jane and happy 5th birthday This Week for Dinner! I thoroughly enjoy your blog, it’s a favorite I go to every day. Many thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes, life experiences and for staying on it for 5 years. Kitchen Aid has always been my favorite brand and this is a fabulous opportunity. Thanks!
Hi, Jane,
A very happy, happy anniversary. The blog is terrific, and I always enjoy reading it (and working with you, of course)!
Best of luck,
Mark
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! I’d like to celebrate with you !!!
Congrats on 5 years!! I’ve loved all the recipes I have tried!!
Happy Happy Birthday TWFD!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this website!!!!
Congratulations …. just started following your blog! I have a lot of catching up to do!
Thanks for 5 years of help where I need it the most!
It cracks me up that on your regular weekly menu posts, you usually get about 50-60 comments with other sharing their menus. BUT… when you’re giving such a great item away, you get over 400 comments! lol….
I have had this item on my “wish list” for over a year now, but I’m just one of those people that would rather buy gifts for others rather getting what I like. This would make a PERFECT addition to my kitchen and many of my recipes!
Congrats.
Just saw your birthday post on pinterest – congrats on five years! And, I think the brownies still look amazing (and not undercooked at all via photo).
Happy 5th! Thanks for all the good ideas!
I love undercooked brownies. I think gooey0ness makes them better. I’d love this hand mixer.
Mmmm, Chocolate.
Happy 5th!
Wow! That’s a lot of posts! Thanks for the dinner help over the past few years!
Holy cow – that’s a lot of comments too, but I hope I’m lucky enough to have my name selected for the blender!!!
Congrats!
Congrats and Happy 5th!!!
I’m a serial under-cooker as well. Which I think is better than burning everything! Happy 5th Birthday!
I think I just may have to eat some chocolate today, if you insist. Happy Birthday!
Happy blogging birthday!
Happy Birthday Blog!!
Wow that looks like an amazing hand blender!
Congrats to whoever gets it!
Love your blog. This immersion blender looks fantastic!
Happy birthday to my all-time favorite blog! You’ve really done amazing things with your corner of the interwebs, Jane. Congratulations on all you’ve accomplished with TWFD.
Pick me! Pick me! I would use the new hand blender to make lots and lots of birthday cakes (and brownies, cookies, etc.)! Happy Blog Birthday!
Happy Birthday! Today (Feb 1.) is my birthday! Congrats to you! Love your blog! Keep up the great work!

Happy 5th Birthday TWFD! If you pick me I promise to think of you every time I use it!
