Vitamix = LIFE

Hello to all my party people. I am about to whisper the secret of house betch success in your ear. Are you ready for it???

GET A VITAMIX

GET A VITAMIX

GET A VITAMIX

GET A VITAMIX

You will be thanking your betchy gods, me, for telling you this now. Your life will never be the same. You will be able to blend soups, smoothies, sauces, (I'm running out of "S" words) hummus, ANYTHING! You can even pulse your ground beef for all I care. Your life will be changed.

Now for all of you that don't know, I'm getting married in April - GAHHHHHH! So excited! And if you don't know, now you know. If there are any brides out there, or grooms, you MUST and I mean MUST put this on your registry. Like if you are reading this and are at this point of the post and haven't logged into your Bed Bath and Beyond or Williams Sonoma registry yet, you are truly missing out. SO DO IT! Here, I'll make it easy, here are the sites:

If you want my honest opinion, you should really get it from BBB. They always have coupons, deals, and as I mentioned in a post before, take back ANYTHING. Even without the box. So if it breaks or you just want to upgrade, you can take it back there! You can also register yours online and I believe it is covered for life. Like FOR-EV-ERRRR.

Whenever I have the time and feel like going to work and putting on pants and I'm not eating Muesili for breakfast, I mix up a green smoothie. Check out Pinterest. Specifically, my board that has anything and everything you need for a Vitamix original green smoothie: http://www.pinterest.com/lindsaysgordon/vitamixin/

To build off of my greek feast post yesterday, here is a recipe for some homemade Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.

Shopping List:

2 cloves of garlic

1 (15 oz) can of garbanzo beans aka chickpeas, drained

1/3 cup of tahini (this can be found in the Mediterranean aisle)

1/3 cup of lemon juice

1/2 cup of roasted red peppers

1/4 tsp dried basil

taste it and add some salt as you wish

In your vitamix, combine your garlic, garbanzo beans, tahini and lemon juice. Process this until the mixture is smooth. Then add in your roasted red pepper, basil, and salt (as needed). Process this until the peppers are finely chopped and you will get a nice light red color. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer your hummus to a small bowl and chill until you are ready to use.

I served mine with Naan, whole wheat pita and veggies!

Enjoy this easy recipe! And most importantly, GO OUT AND BY THAT VITAMIX, NOW, BETCH!
