The big Sunday football game is right around the corner and what better helper could you ask for to help you make all those appetizing dips and delicious food than the Magic Bullet To Go! Well, maybe a chef to actually make the food for you right? lol I know many folks who have these small food appliances in their homes, including my mom. I personally am a kitchen appliance junkie, how about you?

From what I’ve seen (because I don’t have one currently), you can do so many things in these from every day salsa to whipping up scrambled eggs to yes, chocolate mousse but this Magic Bullet is a little different because you can take it anywhere.  It has a rechargeable battery that when fully charged, can be used for up to 50 times.  This is a GREAT idea for tailgaters, for picnics, creating fresh snacks at school functions, and even to take on vacations.  I really like the portability of it but think about it a minute, how handy would it be to have this to use everyday in your home??? I HATE cords and I could move this from the counter to the stove back to the counter so easily.  That is selling point for me. Just being able to move around my counters without worrying about a plug and cord is a big selling point for me.

Since the football game is coming up, I’d make pico de gallo, guacamole dip, and smoothies for the kids to drink.

Chocolate Mousse anyone?

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbs. chocolate syrup

Directions

First … Add the ingredients to the Short Cup and blend until smooth. Then… serve.

Serving Suggestion: Using the Flat Blade, grind a few chocolate chips up in the Short Cup. Twist on a Shaker/Steamer Top and sprinkle a little on the top of your chocolate mousse. You can also whip some cream and add a dollop to the top of each serving of chocolate mousse.

Oh man that sounds good!! That’s just a one little ol’ recipe you can make in the Magic Bullet To Go but there are tons that you could do.

EDITED: The giveaway is over.

I had planned on making a Texas style squash casserole but my man requested this because his mother used to make all the time.  Since she is no longer here with us so I am more than happy to keep the recipe going!

It’s super easy because I am super easy..no, not that way!  This is simply a variation of regular ghoulash.

INGREDIENTS:

• Squash (2)
• Potatoes (I used new potatoes but you could do russet and peel them.)
• Tomato Sauce
• 1 Can of Tomatoes w/ green chilies
• 1lb hamburger meat
• salt, pepper, and garlic powder

PREPARATION:

Brown your hamburger meat.  While meat is cooking, slice up squash and dice taters into chunks.  Add remaining ingredients, season to taste and cover with water.  Boil the heck out of it until taters are done.  I told you it was easy!!!!

Yeah, I know…I left some of the ingredients out of the picture….sorry!  I’m busy with 3 kids, a husband, a father-in-law, and trying to get ready to leave to SF!

This is where you’re supposed to slice and dice baby!  Oh, and check out that snazzy Chopper knife   (hint, hint)  Purrrrty!

Oh, and just in case you missed the Chopper above, here it is again:)

Okay, now we are browning meat.

and pouring in all the remaining ingredients, including seasoning.

And here is the “in the pot” before picture……

and here’s the served version!  Super easy man!!! Nothin’ fancy about it.

More knives from New West Knifeworks!

“The 9″ from the Phoenix collection (happens to be a top chef knife people!!) and (it’s valued at $199)  HOLY COW!

and the 6″ Chef knife from the Fusionwood collection.  (valued at $99)

Gosh, you lucky dogs!  I would kill for those two!!!!    Both are beautiful and are the best kitchen knives ever!

Talk about craftsmanship.  I have the Chopper in the Fusionwood and the handle is gorgeous!  You can choose your own color and they are limited production folks so you won’t find them anywhere else!..except for the fine arts and crafts shows.

Here you will find some cool, innovative, and very useful small kitchen appliances that anyone would love to have!
