A Few of My Favorite Things: Ode to My … Blender

The holiday season is one of the SacFoodies’ favorite times of year, so for this week we will be posting some of our other favorite things – everything from favorite recipes to condiments to kitchen utensils.

You read that right, I said my blender. Boring, you say? I think not! My Vitamix blender is at the top of the list of my favorite things in my kitchen right now, mainly because it is so much more than a blender. Here are a few of the reasons why:

A Favorite Things Ode to My Blender

Berry fruit smoothies and cheesy fondue
Easy hollandaise sauce and warm pumpkin soup
Even quick and delicious coffee cake toppings
This is why my Vitamix is one of my favorite things

When the ice crushes
When the blades whirl
When I watch it go ‘round
It simply whips up something yummy
And then I don’t feel so down

Okay, my horrible attempt at rhyming aside, I do confess that I am somewhat obsessed with everything I can make with my Vitamix (yes, it even makes hot soups!). While pricey, it makes for an amazing gift for any serious foodie.

What’s your favorite thing in the kitchen right now? (Bonus points for rhyming.)
