You guys. I’ve got a big exciting surprise for ya today! I made you a very special, extra cheesy, tomatillo salsa loaded poutine. I know. It’s decadent.

I know poutine is typically made with gravy and all that jazz, but I live in LA and there are still tomatillos at my farmers market! So I wanted to give this comforting dish a new spin. So I went ahead and fried up some french fries and then melted some cheese on top and topped it all off with a tomatillo avocado salsa sprinkled with chopped red onion and bacon.

I don’t know about you, but this just screams football food to me!Cheesy Avocado Bacon PoutineSo let’s talk about this blender for a hot second.

Have you guys ever used a Blendtec? It’s kinda a dream come true. It’s super powerful and it made this tomatillo avocado salsa in literally 16 seconds flat. I timed it. And I did NO prep work. Like I didn’t chop up any of the veggies really, and just threw everything into the blender and let it go to work. Brilliance. 16 seconds later I was ready to go!

If I had to go do my wedding registry all over again, this would be at the top of my list! I can’t even being to tell you how fast it makes my smoothies in the morning. Can you imagine how quickly it would make a blended margarita come spring time when it’s time to lay out by the pool. It’s going to be a whole new world 🙂

  6. I get pretty frustrated when I use the “ice chop” function on my blender. It really does not do much at all. Using a new Blendtec would result in frozen margaritas ASAP.

    1. I love your recipes and they always turn out well. I would really love to have a Blendtech blender!! I keep hearing how great they are and I need one so bad, I’m in the kitchen all the time trying to chop or cook and need something to help me get better results. Thank you for a great blog!

  7. This isn’t going to be a yum-inspiring answer, but I make homemade cat food for a sick kitty in a blender. beef, fishoil, some vitamin paste and greens.

  26. I like making soup in my blender, but it always seems to have some traumatic event tied to the experience. Leaking, or too chunky, or something great like that 🙂

  30. I would love a Blentech blender for my homemade peanut butter and the smoothies for breakfast. Want to try the green ones, but my puny blender won’t mix it up.

  31. I would LOVE to be able to make my kale, banana, and almond butter protein shake in a BlendTec Blender! I can’t seem to get the kale entirely smooth, it maintains an unfortunate leafy texture.

  39. My most favorite thing is SMOOTHIES! I currently use a hand held mixer that doesn’t always “blend” like its supposed to, winning this would make my smoothies so much better!
