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!

    We enjoy your website so much Lisa. The videos are obviously well thought out, and you relay your recipes in a calm and clear manner. Also, your recipes are always fun to look through because of the photos. It is nice to see what the finished product will look like…or is supposed to look like anyway! :) I came across your website a while back because I wanted to make bacon in the oven…I never cook it on the stove now. So easy, and minimal mess! Thank you!

So very personable and relatable. Congratulations on your Recipe Book and the very best wishes in the New Year and future endeavours.

Thank you for all this helpful information.
