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!

  22. I have made the lemony lentil and chickpea soup several times. and it’s my favorite soup ever! Love it so much that I pre-ordered the cookbook!!! The recipes are healthy, simple and timesaving, in addition to being incredibly delicious. I’ve tried many recipes on the website (where I saw the above mentioned), then couldn’t wait to have the cookbook! I’ve always believed “you are what you eat”. Many thanks for writing a cookbook and Iam forever grateful I learned of this website and now, author!!! YAYYY!!! I cook at home and because there is now a cookbook, my life will be a lot easier! Lisa B. has helped her own situation AND a lot of ours with her expertise!! I really can’t say enough.
