If some of you are wondering what I use mine for, you can search on "Blendtec" to see some of my posts. I use it daily for monster green smoothies (it shows no mercy for frozen fruit and greens!), making sauces, dips and dressings, especially using nuts and seeds (like my 'Vegveeta Dip', and sauce for "Mac-Oh Geez"), desserts like raw cheesecakes and also ice cream bases. Also, I grind grains like steel-cut oats into a coarse flour (as in my "Instant Steel Cut Oats"). Yep, Blendtec is my most-beloved appliance, use it at least once a day, sometimes 3-4x/day! It's far more than a blender, you'll quickly realize... and once you have one, you wonder how you ever managed without!
p.s. To all you moms out there, I know you're wondering the same... having some doubt that your hubbies will come through on Mother's Day this year. Not saying you have any reason to doubt. Oh no! Our hubbies have never screwed up on Mother's Day (or bdays, or Christmas) before! But, just in case you have this doubt... you might just want to take matters in your own hands. Yep, might be a good idea to get to Blendtec and order a mom's day gift for yourself! (Of course, I have no personal experience with gifting disappointment from hubby, just ask my friends...) ;)

ReplyDeleteAllison, I fully realize that. Every time I type something about a wife/husband/mother/father, I wonder "how can I say this without offending, and trying to be pc and not insensitive?" Truth is, it's virtually impossible not to offend someone or exclude someone. I lost my father at an early age, and am not insensitive or oblivious to familial variations. I'm speaking my own experience and voice here on my blog, which is a mom with a hubby, and really just trying to have some fun with a typical relationship situation. Not meaning to hurt anyone's feelings or otherwise upset.
ReplyDeleteActually I don't mind, you can't help it anyway and we know you're not trying to offend anyone, but hey I'd like to have that blender as well. I'll check it out. Thanks for sharing. :D
ReplyDeleteDidn't get a blender for mothers day but hubby and kids made me a smoothie for breakfast in bed. I kept hearing the blender going and going and going. Lets just say that when he brought it up to me he said"next time we have some extra money I can order that blender I have been wanting cause ours doesn't work so well." lol
