Let me just start by saying that I absolutely LOVE my Vita-Mix. How I lived without this thing before I do not know. I have to thank my wonderful husband for surprising me with this Christmas morning. I really had no clue he had bought it. For once he was able to surprise me ;)Anyway, so far I've made: Fruit smoothie: blackberries, banana, orange, pear, apple, strawberries, carrot and spinach. No artificial anything! They taste so good!
Salsa: canned tomato with green chilies, garlic cloves, bell pepper, Serrano pepper and cilantro! It makes it just perfect.
Vegetable soup: I did this for lunch today and was a little hesitant but it turned out great. I put in some beef broth, carrots, cabbage, bell pepper, celery, tomatoes and garlic and after about 3 minutes in the Vita-Mix I had a nice hot soup!
Orange sorbet: fresh oranges, ice, and some sugar. This wasn't exactly sweet but it was nice and refreshing. Better choice than ice cream I guess.
Blender pancakes: You can make these in any blender but it's faster in this one. It's just wheat, oil, eggs, you know, pancake stuff. They're really good and have more nutritional value than regular box/bag stuff.
If you're wanting to make better health choices I would definitely recommend this. I know exactly what is in my food. I'll never have to buy baby food too(I'm NOT pregnant)! That's definitely a plus. Anyway, I know I sound like a demonstrator/sales person but I can't help it. I love this thing and wanted to blog about it.

It sounds amaz-za-zing! Hey do you have Margo's blog address? Hers is themorga.blogspot.com and just in case you get bored--mine is guyanddolls.blogspot.com.
Wow!! What a great surprise! Husband's can really hit the gift jackpot sometimes!
And Happy Birthday (belated) too!!!
Really hard to read your new font...
I hope that didn't sound harsh. I also love the new layout, the new quote, the font is cute (just harder to read) and I'm so glad that you are 21 and have a vita mixer!!! Have I invited you to my blog??
No, you haven't invited me yet!
Well it's not all my fault! I did have a post up for a few weeks that said I was going private and that if you wanted to be included I needed your email address. Sorry. Here is mine and you can email me so I can get yours and then add you.
jnsnolan@gmail.com
Also, you should give me your address in your email so I can invite you to my baby shower. I'm inviting Trish.
p.s. font is much easier to read even though the other one was super cute!
