Not another appliance!

Someone in my house thought an object called the Magic Bullet couldn't be anything but a gimick. What?? Me? Get suckered into a tool that promises to take away all the work in my life but is really just a useless hunk of plastic? (i.e. swiffer wet jet mop, vibrating shower scrubber, etc.)

Well, I knew this just couldn't be one of those things (mostly because Jessica Seinfeld's book says so. Which is something I bought after she was on Oprah and which also may be a gimick. I say that because i was telling Owen that he had to eat 2 little brownie bites before he could have a rice krispy treat on Halloween. The brownies had spinach and carrot puree in the mix. Giimick? I guess time will tell.)

So, I bought the magic bullet anyway and that same pessimistic somebody now LOVES the Magic Bullet because you can make individual protein shakes and drink it right out of the cup you blended it in...with the comfort lip ring applied, of course. That's one for the late-night informercials and super smart mamas.

Yeah!!! I'm so glad to see that you are back. I love the spinach and carrots in the brownies. We recently got a blendtec blender and those are crazy. Our kids now eat "popeye" banana pancakes. It is whole wheat pancakes with bananas, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, and spinach. I'll have to post a picture sometime...they're a little green, but the kids love them.

Awesome, Adios to the days of blending my drinks with a Fork.
