I have discovered a new love! It’s the Vitamix. I’ve heard of Vitamix before but just figured they were another blender…and I don’t do blenders. Last month ago I had a chance to visit their headquarters and see a demonstration and take one home. I am IN LOVE! Vitamix makes the machines for Jamba Juice, McFlurry, Coldstone Creamery, Wendy’s (the Frosty) and many more. It’s a super high powered whole foods machine and it’s transformed our kitchen! I’ve made homemade peanut butter (very tasty by the way) and that gives you an indication of the horsepower the Vitamix has. I’ve cranked out smoothies, sorbet, ice cream,salsa, and I’ve only had it about 3 weeks! The best part is it’s incredibly healthy and it actually makes me want to eat better because it’s so easy to use. Yesterday I made a banana-split smoothie for the boys and they LOVED it. Did I mentioned it had tofu in it?! Ha…they never even knew it! Lol:) I told Jim afterwards though (just to be fair):) Anyway, that is my new favorite item for sure. It’s pricey but considering it replaces 8 kitchen appliances, it’s a good investment. Here’s the website for more info: Vitamix.com
My other new fave is our family clipper set. A few posts back I reported that we were going to try at-home hair cuts from now on. Well, this was my second effort and so far, so good! Our savings is adding up already, and with gas almost $4.00 a gallon, it’s a welcomed change!:)
