apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Pina Coladas!

any of the pureed soups (potato/leek, butternut squash, carrot), lentils and smoothies

I would take the vegetables from my CSA box to make yummy winter soups. Hope I win!

enter me, please.

I'd bring some warmth into my kitchen this winter and whir up some smoothies with the summer fruit I have stashed in my freezer. Blueberries, greek yogurt, honey and almond milk...what could be better!

with all this power I can grind rice to make dosas :)

All of my winter soups - butternut squash, white bean, cauliflower, pumpkin, potato leek. I love soup.

I would first make a batch of margaritas to "christen" the blender. Then, I would make a really smooth tomato sauce. I normally like them chunky, but a velvety smooth sauce would be a nice treat.

Fruit, fruit, fruit and vodka.

I love making fruit smoothies. My son loves them and he is a very picky eater so I can actually get him to have something nutritious in a smoothie. So I would make lots of smoothies!

lots of frozen berries, ice and lowfat yogurt to make my awesome smoothies!!

chick peas for holiday party hummus. or maybe some ice. my blender doesn't do ice.

Ooooh! Fruit and yogurt for smoothies! Thanks for the drawing.

soups! i'm so sick of using my hand blender because i inevitably splash it all over myself and the walls. not fun.

We are having a party Christmas Eve, so I would make margaritas with it!

I would blend fruit shakes...fat-free vanilla yogurt, a banana and skim milk.

berries for fruit sauces!

salsas mostly. and maybe some beans for a partially pureed black bean soup.

I would love to blend strawberries, milk, peaches and a little honey for a holiday drink treat - thank you

Carrots, beets, ginger ... cannelloni beans, garlic, onions, parsley ... so many wonderful ideas and ingredients to blend!

I would make fruity drinks at my birthday party this weekend!

I would start making smoothies..

mmmmmm.... frozen brandy alexanders!

Guava juice, banana and Greek yogurt smoothies--the best!

Yummy fruit smoothies

Thanks

1 can frozen limeade, 1 can tripplesec, 1 can tequila, & ice

I would make all sorts of warm, yummy winter soups (using a teeny, tiny multi-quick just isn't cutting it this year!

I would make smoothies minus the weird burning plastic smell my current blender likes to incorporate into the mix!

Its hard to believe but we actually do not have a blender in my home. My mom took it when she moved out. :)

If i won this i would totally be making Chocolate martinis or Mudslides, or Milkshakes! YUM!

Yesterday Mark Bittman had an article dedicated to the smoothie, and at this time of the year when we rely so heavily on well, heavy foods, it would be a lovely change to have a healthy, refreshing, and light smoothie. So maybe with oranges now in season, some mint, and maybe pomegranate uice whirled up with honey and greek yogurt. Never tried this combo, but the thought of it is making me salvate. Mmm.

Thanks!

Cream Soups --- the large capacity would be great for that --not so many small batches would be necessary.

peanut butter smoothies! yum!

smoothies and salsa - a great way to introduce more veggies and fruit into my diet!

I would blend milkshakes and malteds! Even in blizzards!

Squash, leeks, potatoes, any sort of veggie. It'll be a present for my sister and her 6-month old who's getting started on soup...and, of course, smoothies for the auntie who babysits her!

More than a few eggnog shakes for the season!

How perfect for making a Dutch baby on Xmas morning! Sounds gruesome but I think it's been covered on here, it's like a giant buttery popover.

I would puree fruits and vegetables for my 7 month old daughter and also make winter vegetable soups in big batches to keep in the freezer.

Fresh watercress pesto with pinenuts.

Smoothies with fruit from trader joe's!

Veggie shakes :)

I haven't had a blender in ten years since the one I got for a 21st birthday gift died (after many years of faithful service). I would christen the blender with a batch of margaritas.

Margaritas!

I'd use it to make smoothies, puree chickpeas for hummus, make bread crumbs, pesto, pureed veggie soups, crush ice, etc.

Since I stayed home sick today, I think I'd like someone else to make me a smoothie in the blender...

Smoothies galore and then some.

Pesto, milk shakes, smoothies, make bread crumbs, make hummous...and the list goes on

Definitely some winter soups that have been leaking out of my food processor! Then probably a peanut butter milkshake to cool us off after hot soup!

Boy would I like this with Rachel Ray's new cookbook, which I know I am getting this year.

Smoothies! I had to part with my old blender in my last move and have been bereft of smoothie goodness ever since!

That looks like the perfect blender for mixing up frozen hot chocolates!

Milkshakes and ice cream drinks in the summer.

Banana dacquiris and garlicy hummus

I bet the first thing to hit it would be an old fashioned milkshake. But then we'd wise up, go for the smoothies... and then, being so proud of ourselves for being health-conscious, we'd reward ourselves with some nice frosty Margaritas. We'll even invite y'all over!

Yay!!!

I am so excited to see a blender on the giveaways! We have been blenderless for a while - since the last one's jar broke. We've been making do with a stick blender, but it just leaves most things lumpy. So - one thing I would make is smoother pureed soups and applesauce. We are also expecting our first baby in May, and the need for a blender has become more immediate since we want to make our own babyfood.

Oh Man, I really want this!

Mmmm... winter margaritas bring a little of the tropics to my apartment.

i think some spicy hummus would be in order!

I'd use it to make fruity icy drinks.

Definitely curried butternut squash soup.

My blender just died, and I've been craving this soup since with no relief.

This would be THE perfect gift for my husband.

Smoothies, milkshakes, soups, pumpkin pie filling, everything!

My Mango-banana smoothies ROCK!!!!

Looks Good!

A banana mango smoothie in the dead of winter would be fantastic right about now.

I make smoothies for breakfast every morning and soup three or four nights a week for dinner and work lunches. I'm guessing this fine appliance would be superior to the $9.99 piece of crap that I've been using.

I could really use this!

Margaritas of course!
