    Hi Rebecca,

    I just read about your blog in the Orleans Star and am enjoying your site! I have 2 young kids (and a husband) that don’t particularly like vegetables so I often puree sweet potato, spinach, cauliflower, or carrots and slip them in muffins, spaghetti sauce, and pancakes. The food processor would be great for that!

    Thanks,
    Jessica

    p.s. I signed up for your blog (for an extra entry!)

    Hi Rebecca
    I would use this beauty to cut down on the “chopping” for my coleslaw recipe! thanks for the chance to win
    PS – Your segment on the tv was fun to watch — nice craft idea for the season!

    Soup! The preschooler will eat soup as long as there nothing chunky in it! Throw some soupy lentils in there and he is none the wiser 🙂 But I would probably share it with one of my friends who has more kids, less time and doesn’t already own the Kitchenaid beauty that I do.

    This would make my Christmas Antipasto so much easier! There is so much chopping involved, this would really speed it up!

    I would love to use it to chop onions. A food processor would be great at avoiding the tears onions always produce. 🙂

    Stuffing would be much easier with this beautiful machine! And our favouite pancake recipe requires a food processor to grind the oatmeal. It would get lots of use at our house!

    I hate HATE chopping vegetables, and I love making soup, stews, all sorts of things that require chopping vegetables. I would love to have a little help…

    I would use it to make my own baby food!! (Plus help cut down on all of the tedious chopping needed to cook dinner for the family!!)

    My first thought was my sweet potato soup. My blender just does not do the job when it comes to making purée out of sweet potatoes!
    I’d also love to use it to chop my fresh veggies. It’s one of my least favourite tasks, this would make it fun!

    Whole wheat, apricot flax seed scones – I always try and use my food processor to mix the dry ingredients well but my food processor is too small!

    My husband loves,loves,loves his
    Amaretti cookies and to make these you need a lot of ground almonds,I make them for other functions as well,so among the many other ways I could use this amazing appliance grinding almonds is one.You could say I’d use it to grind his nuts.lol

    Rebecca,
    I’ve always wanted a food processor. Kitchen Aid is one of my favourite appliances. I have the stand mixer and blender. The 13 cup food processor is on my Christmas wish list. We love to entertain. I would use for slicing and prepping my veggies and then blending my ingredients for dips. As for baking I want to try out my pie crust recipe. I’ve been told its great for blending for bread, pizza and cookie dough too! I love all the colours it comes in!

    Heh first thing I think of when I hear food processor is breadcrumbs! There’s just something so efficient about the thought of whirring them in a food processor (in the never-ending quest for a homemade panko substitute)…okay and maybe I watch the food channel too much.

    Hi Rebecca,
    Um, I hardly ever cook but I would like to try a bit harder in the kitchen. How about if I win you send me your favourite recipe for me to try? 🙂

    Love this Rachael Ray recipe for chicken or lamb patty pockets where a food processor is needed:

    Ingredients
    Handful cilantro leaves
    Handful mint leaves
    Handful basil leaves
    1 cup Greek style plain yogurt
    1 tablespoon cumin, a palm full
    1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon grill seasoning blend, 1 1/3 palm fulls (recommended: McCormick Montreal Seasoning)
    1 1/2 pounds ground chicken or ground lamb
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
    4 pita pockets
    1 cup mango chutney
    8 leaves tender lettuce

    Directions
    Spiced exotic chips recommended: Taro root chips)

    Place the herbs in a food processor and pulse grind them into a fine chop. In a bowl combine the herbs, yogurt, cumin and grill seasoning. Add the meat and mix to combine.. Form into 4 large, very thin patties. Wash up and preheat a large nonstick skillet with a couple tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook patties 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Heat a small second skillet over high heat and blister the pitas on each side. Cut tops off the bread and fill pita pockets with patties, lettuce and chutney.

    Since it is the holiday season, I would try to use the food processor for a holiday dish! I found this recipes online recently for balsamic glazed carrots and have been meaning to try it.
    Perfect for the holidays and not too high in calories!

    10 carrots (1-1/4 lb./565 g), peeled, quartered lengthwise
    1/4 cup Kraft Calorie-Wise Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
    3 Tbsp. brown sugar
    1 Tbsp. butter
    1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley

    COOK carrots in boiling water in large saucepan on medium heat 4 to 6 min. or until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, cook dressing, sugar and butter in small saucepan on low heat 3 to 5 min. or until thickened, stirring occasionally.

    DRAIN carrots; return to saucepan. Add sauce; stir. Cook 2 to 3 min. or until carrots are heated through and evenly coated with sauce.

    SPRINKLE with parsley.

    I would make orange marmalade and use the food process to slice up the oranges. It would be so much more efficient this way!

    I would make aioli to substitute mayonaise:

    Preparation time: 5 min
    Cook time : 5 min

    Ingredients

    3 egg yolks
    Sea salt, to taste
    fresh Ground pepper, to taste
    1 tbsp (15 mL) white wine vinegar
    1-1/4 cups (300 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, cold pressed

    Preparation
    1. Place egg yolks in the food processor together with salt, pepper, vinegar. Blend. 2. Add olive oil slowly in a thin stream, blending continuously until oil is used up. This should become thick and creamy. If it curdles take a clean bowl, add an egg yolk and work to a smooth paste then slowly add failed aioli in a thin stream.

    I have a food processor however I’d love to have a brand new one so that I can keep making yummy food. I especially like using my food processor for making cookie dough, making butternut squash soup great for salas, dips you name it I use it for a lot of great recipes.

    Ohh what could I make with a food processor? Well with 3Princes eating like horses, two of them hitting puberty stage… a food processor is a must in my kitchen, alas mine has died, it had a great life making Smoothies (an everyday occurrence here)Zucchini Bread, Salsa, Apple pie and my famous (o.k. creds to Canadian Living magazine) Pina Colada Cheesecake (I think this is what may have killed my last little buddy) http://www.canadianliving.com/food/baking_and_desserts/pina_colada_cheesecake.php

    Oh, it would be so perfect for my homemade jalapeno curry hummus. I can’t tell you how tired I am of making it in my blender and having to stop every three seconds to push all the ingredients back down toward the blades. Plus, we’re just finishing a huge reno and the Kitchenaid Food Processor would look deeeevine sitting on my new countertop 🙂

  • Chrissy

    This would be perfect for my hummus, which I find myself making weekly. Also pesto sauce! My current food processor bowl is cracked so I expect it won’t be with me much longer.

    I would use it for so many things but one example would be to chop my onions so I could add them to my stuffed green peppers and tomatoes. Come for some traditional Greek dinner, recipe courtesy of my grandma- I promise you’ll love it!!

    It would do a great job of grinding pecans, walnuts and almonds to make my mom’s shortbread nut balls – a must-make every holiday season!

    Getting my kitchen remodelled and this would be a perfect addition. I am learning new things to cook, so this would be great for everything, nothing specific I can think of. Maybe for scalloped potatoes!

    I would love to have this food processor ! I lost mine in my recent separation and I miss being able to easily make pesto sauce ! I used to make all kinds of sauces quickly in the food processor !

    I make all my own baby food but end up having to do two or three batches in our small processor just to get enough of one veggie for a month! so i would love it to help with that.

    Cutting carrots and then purreing them would be divine!!
