Make Yummy Soups and Smoothies Easily

My dad received this Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender as a gift. He told me he had no use for it so I took it off his hands. Yes, I know I'm such a good daughter.  Anyway, I was so excited to receive this.  I imagined making all kinds of soups and smoothies with it.

First of all, it's very easy to use and to assemble. The motor body and detachable blending shaft snap together. After use detach the blending shaft. The clean up is a breeze. I basically just rinse it off the blending shaft and wipe off the motor body.  I have made soups and smoothies with the hand blender.  It makes the soups thicker in a matter of seconds. Smoothies blend easily and get super thick. It's a great product and I'm always looking for ways to use it.

The blender came with a mixing beaker (pictured above). I make the smoothies right in the beaker. The detachable blending shaft and beaker are both dishwasher safe. The beaker is microwave safe. Also included was an instructional recipe booklet (pictured below).

I highly recommend the Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender. To find out more about this and other Cuisinart products please visit their website at Cuisinart.com.  You can also follow them on Twitter, Instagram and like them on Facebook.

Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel 7.2-Cup Kettle Review

Never used electric kettles before we moved to England. We lived in England for two years. When we returned to Chicago that was one of the first things I bought for our new home.

I have been through a few electric kettles since then and just recently purchased a new one and it is my favorite.  It's the Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel 7.2-Cup Kettle. I like it because it's stainless steel and it boils water quickly.  When filled completely it takes about four minutes to boil.

Doesn't take up much counter space, has auto shutoff and cord-free pouring I recommend this electric kettle.  You can go to HamiltonBeach.com to find out more about this kettle and other products. You can also find the Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel 7.2-Cup Kettle at Amazon.com. Also check out my review of the Hamilton Beach 5 Qt. Slow Cooker.
