It’s that time of year for our annual Christmas giveaway! But this year I’m not only giving away a Vitamix, but also a signed copy of my Healthy Meal Prep cookbook!

It’s always so much fun for me to give these blenders away and brighten someone’s day. And today, one reader will have a chance to win my most prized kitchen tool — the Vitamix A3500 (read more about it here)!

Plus, you’ll be able to use this Vitamix for several of my favorite recipes in my meal prep cookbook! That includes recipes like my creamy white gazpacho, banana berry nice cream, all the hummus(s) you can imagine, and yes, even a dessert – my key lime tartelettes!

  2. Lisa,
    I rarely, RARELY, join mailing lists or follow people on Facebook. I also love creating my own dishes, so I rarely follow a cookbook. Your recipes are delicious, clean, and innovative. Better still, as a business owner myself, I admire your approach to your business. You’re refreshing and seemingly authentic. Please keep doing YOU! I look forward to the gift of witnessing your growth and successes! 
    Sincerely,
