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!

  32. Lisa,
    Wishing you Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year; I want to Congratulate you on your book. We are from Boston, MA. I want to thank you for all the great and easy-to-follow recipes and videos this is a great way to interact with my picky eaters at home. I came upon your website a few years ago when I was trying to figure out some food and environmental allergies and with everyone’s different tastes and allergies its hard to get everyone at the dinner table all at once. The weekly planning comes in very handy. Specially with my college son using your recipes as well.
    I cant wait to see what you come up with next and look forward to see more videos soon.
    Best,
    Alex
    Boston, MA.

  39. Hi Lisa!  I stumbled upon your website this past year and truly enjoy it! You have a very calming presence in your videos which makes me want to try your recipes. I’m from Livonia MI and would love to win your new cookbook and the vitamix. Little by little I have been tweaking my diet since being diagnosed with breast cancer several months ago. I will be getting a mastectomy in the new year and want to eat as healthy as possible to improve my healing. Thanks for all that you do!  Karen C.

  40. Lisa, thank you for your wonderful work. I cook a lot of your recipes and got the e-book. I am still on the first pages. However, as an old habit, I go to the videos instead. Slowly, I will get there.

  45. I love the way you break down ingredients for meals, I personally cannot eat the same thing every day for even 3 days – even my most favorite meals.

    I also like when you do the multiple cooking methods to determine which may be best, like poached eggs, but it also just teaches me alternate ways of cooking something.

    Keep on doing what you’re doing, Tina
