I have 2 small machines in my kitchen that enable me to make the most of both my time and my food. They are the Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer and the Kitchen Aid Food Processor.
Things I probably would not make homemade as often if it were not for the Stand Mixer:
1)bread
2)cake
3)cookies
4)pie
5)whipped cream
6)pizza dough
7)experiment recipes
Things I probably would not make homemade as often if it were not for the Food Processor:
1)coleslaw
2)hash browns
3)pie dough
4)applesauce
5)crumb topping
6)breadcrumbs
Now, I am not saying that everyone should go out and spend $500 buying both machines, but when you get the opportunity, check them out and see if they would be helpful to you and your lifestyle and goals. If so, maybe consider it as a gift option.
Mommy B-- I just purchased the Vitamix for $450 at the Home Design & Remodeling Show. This after I have a blender, food processor and juicer and rarely use them. I was impressed that the Vitamix can make flour, soup, gelato, salsa, smoothies, each within 5 minutes!!! It arrived four days ago and I have used it and it works great! It's the time savings which I love and can healthier. It's worth the investment. http://aboutchristinemichaels.blogspot.com
