Vitamix Professional Series 750 Blender
The Vitamix blender is really a game changer! I’m really happy that I made the splurge and purchased one because it makes blending food SO quick and easy. You can even make hot soup and frozen treats in no time! The possibilities are really endless. I can’t say enough good things about this blender. If you’ve been eyeing a Vitamix for yourself, I promise you won’t regret it!
KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Stand Mixer
A KitchenAid stand mixer is live changing! I’ve had mine now for about 8 years and use it constantly. I love making dough for homemade pizza, bread and rolls and this mixer takes all of the hard work out of the dough making process. It’s great for all your baking adventures. There’s also a lot of attachment’s you can purchase for it, making it a multi-purpose tool that can save you a lot of space in your kitchen.
Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor
A food processor is a must-have piece of kitchen equipment. I always use mine to quickly shred cheese, finely chop vegetables, and bring together all types of doughs and crusts. It’s also great for dicing, thinly slicing and so much more!
