Anything helpful besides a blender?



Recommended Posts

Any suggestions for a useful kitchen appliance/gadget?

I have a blender but was wondering about the bennefits of a food processor...or anything else enlightening for me.:thumbup:

Thank you

I have a blender, food processor, and magic bullet. The Magic Bullet is by far my best bud. It's quick, it dirties up way less, and preps drinks in the cup you can drink out of. And it doesn't take up much space. :-)

I have a cusinart immersion blender, stick blender. It's amazing, I looked at the magic bullet but I have no need for 17 pieces. The stick blender is just 2 pieces.

I hvae a Vitamix. Its expensive, but processes food so fine, you can use the skin on most fruits & veggies, where a lot of the nutrients are. It also makes icecream & sorbet, as well as hot Soup.< /p>

I have a magic bullet. I used it just about everyday before I switched to premade Protein Drinks.< /p>

I use an immersion blender, a regular blender and a mini-food processer/chopper. Those three things were very helpful in the beginning and I continue to use them.

I have the JCPenney version of the Magic Bullet. I used it a lot and still use it for whipping up sauces, etc. I think my hubby got it for me when it was on sale for $20 - a great deal!

I can definitely vouch for the Magic Bullet. I started out using my blender, but found that it was just way too big and too much of a pain in the rump to clean each and every time.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
