    I recommend a ninja blender! It has food processing abilities (it duals as a food processor) you can use it for pizza dough/cookie dough ETC and you can also use it to make smoothies, milkshakes ,protein shakes etc it's wicked awesome I got one for XMAS and I am beyond excited! I had a regular blender before and it didn't work for a lot

    It's great for baking and for doing things like making burgers or meatballs, it really is a HUGE time saver and does things that regular blenders cant. A food procssor is good cos it's smaller I'm wicked excited about my Ninga but it'll take up a ton of room in my tiny kitchen

    I use it to make peanut butter. To make my regular sugar into superfine sugar. To make my brown rice flour mix into superfine texture as well as mixing it up really good. Chopping veggies . There is no end to the uses.

    mine has a lot of different attachments for slicing, dicing, and grinding. i'm always in the kitchen cooking something and it come in really handy when i have a lot of onions, garlic and other vegetables to chop. great when i'm making my big stews and caseroles.

    Haha, yeah I was still pretty happy just to have it as a hummus, salsa and guacamole maker. But now I have lots of ideas.

    I make this in it:
    Knorr's spinach dip

    1 (10 ounce) package baby spinach, chopped or 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
    1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
    1 cup mayonnaise
    1 (8 ounce) package Knorr's vegetable soup mix
    1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped (optional)
    3 green onions, chopped (optional)



    You just put them all in the processor and let it go- mix and serve with crackers, or sliced veggies - you can make it healthier by using low fat or fat free sour cream, instead of mayo use greek yogurt, etc. It's always a favorite at parties. the recipe is usually on the box of soup mix. FYI.

    I can't live without a food processor… you can cut veggies for recipes in a fraction of the time, make yummy nut spreads, fresh salsa… play in the kitchen, and watch some cooking shows… you will enrich your food life with a food processor. Food is so fun, and most people have no idea where you can go with food.

    Processed food is bad for you. You should only eat whole foods.
