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!
So 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 🙂

I love using my blender to make smoothies!

I love to use my blender to make gazpacho!
I would love to make hummus and pestos, recipes my current blender cannot handle making.
I follow both @WhatsGabyCookin and @Blendtec on Twitter.
I’ve made hummus in my blender before (becuase I don’t own a food processor) which would’ve worked well IF I had a good blender like this Blendtec one! It was incredibly laborious to say the least, and ended up in chunky hummus with a couple damaged spoons (used to try to move the contents around to be blended). SO if I had a Blendtec I would definitely do a re-do, and make some hummus!

Smoothies and Margarita’s!
I use my blender for smoothies, but also to blend things like oats for protein balls and such
I really like making smooties in our blender, but I don’t do it all that often because it is such a royal pain to clean… that’s one of the attractive things about the Blendtec… seems so very easy to clean! winterwrens at gmail dot com
I don’t like to make anything in the blender with ice because it never blends all the way.
I already like you on Facebook and now I like Blendtec as well.
