So, my bloggy birthday celebration is coming to an end, but I wanted to give one of you a very special gift. The gifts I’ve given away this week represent some of my favorite things, music, basketball, books, cloth diapers, etc., but I saved the best for last! So to end my blog birthday week I’m giving one of you my FAVORITE kitchen tool.
A Vita-Mix!
Cue party hats, streamers, and those little noise makers….
It has been over four years since I purchased my trusty Vita-Mix and even though it wasn’t cheap I believe it is one of the best investments I’ve made for our family’s health. Just last night I whipped up some delicious and totally healthy cauliflower soup in my Vita-Mix. It took me less than 30 minutes, was delicious, and a winner with the kids!
From smoothies to soups my Vita-Mix can do it all in the kitchen. My friend Erin even makes rice milk for her children in it. I use my Vita-Mix almost every day and I know it has changed the way our family eats.

My mini electric chopper!!!
These are great kitchen appliances. I hope someone wins this. I use mine often and since it came with a dry container as well, I grind grain when I need to in it. My Vita-Mix was an answer to prayer [http://mrststhoughtsfromatitus2mom.blogspot.com/2009/08/finances-yard-sales.html] so I hope this one answers someone else’s.
I love my Kitchenaid Mixer! I’ve been wanting a vita-mix though!
Maybe it could be my new favorite!
I guess my favorite would have to be my meat slicer! My husband bought it for me about 8 years ago. I didn’t use it much, but now I do. I buy turkey ham — whole — and slice it up
I now have it bookmarked into favorites…
deli thin to make school lunches for my son! It is SOO much cheaper than buying deli meat
already prepackaged. I use it to slice veggies too. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this
vita mix! I am very “preventative health” mind oriented! I would love to be able to make
smoothies and soups! Just came across your website this morning when I googled “whole
chicken crockpot”—-looking for recipes!

I have an old Cuisinart food processor that is a huge timesaver in the kitchen.
I dream of having a Vitamix!!
I would LOVE a Vitamix!! I have been wanting one for years, but we never have had the money. Getting one would be amazing!!
I’d love to win the Vitamix. My favorite kitchen tool is my crock pot.
The Vita-Mix is fantastic! My parents have had one for years and grind wheat with it for bread, make smoothies… I would love to upgrade to one of these some day. My favorite kitchen tool is probably my bright red Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. Thanks!
I would love to win this!!! My 2 year old twins and I love to use our juicer and this would be so awesome to have to make yummy smoothies, and drinks with. I hear you can eve make soup with these things. Awesome!! Thanks for entering me!
I love my new hand mixer. I have arthritis in my hands it makes mixing cakes or even cookies so much easier.
Vita Mixers are so amazing I always watch demonstrations, but never have been able to purchase one.
Thanks for your website, it is so informative and fun.
My favorite kitchen tool is my countertop grill – my daughters love grilled chicken or fish with veggies. I don’t have any type of mixer/blender, so the Vita-Mix would be a very welcome addition to my kitchen! Thanks for the opportunity to win.

My favorite kitchen tool is my covection/toaster oven. It fits a whole pizza or a lasagna pan, and is awesome! I don’t have to heat up my whole kitchen to bake a cake!
Electronic? That would be my NutriMill.
Or non-electronic? My IKEA cheese grater. lol (That thing is really well-designed.)
I really love my hand mixer. Can get it out and use for alot of things fast.
My favorite kitchen tool is my juicer. It does take some time for cleanup. But it
has improved my health.
My favorite kitchen tool is my bread maker – I mostly just use the dough cycle and then bake in the oven but what a time saver! My kids love smoothies and I love the veggies – I’ve never had a Vita-Mix but have heard such great things! Thanks for the give-away!
My favorite kitchen tool by far is my BLENDER!!! I love the Vita-mix and can’t wait to own one!!! Sooner rather than later?!
Thanks for this generous giveaway!!
I would love to win a vita mix! I have heard good things about it. My favorite kitchen tool is my stand mixer. Makes cookie making a breeze.
I love my toaster oven.
The kitchen aid mixer.
Im having the hardest time to get my oldest daughter to eat vegetables, what better way then to sneak some in a drink. My favorite kitchen tool is a Crock Pot, I can start dinner in the morning and not think about it again until it’s time to eat.
I would SO love to win a VitaMix! In addition to all the wonderful things I’d love to make, I have a toddler, and it would come in really handy with teaching him good eating habits. I’d love to make him a wonderful fresh smoothie every morning! With a huge garden every year, and a blog where I feature lots of recipes, I can think of a thousand uses for a VitaMix!!
Right now, I guess my favorite kitchen tool is my food processor. (or maybe corkscrew…hahaha) Honestly, with all the veggies we eat, anything that helps with chopping is valuable in our house!
Thanks for the chance!
I would have to say my favorite kitchen tool is my crockpot!
Happy Blog Birthday Week! Thanks for the oppurtunity to win a Vita-Mix.
My favorite kitchen tool is my recipe book, if that counts as a tool. It’s the first thing I pull out whenever I start something!
