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!

  11. Thank you for your wonderful recipes! My husband, who never wanted to eat healthy, suffered a TIA and was diagnosed as diabetic. I introduced him to some of your recipes, and he loved them! Now he has changed his diet and is no longer considered diabetic. Keep up the great work! We are located in Huntington Beach, CA.

  28. Your ultimate chicken salad recipe is my favorite. The thing you have taught me the most is the correct way to hard boiled eggs. I no longer have any trouble peeling my hard boiled eggs or over cooking them.. and for that I thank you.. 
    Is Boston, Massachusetts your book tour?
