Ack! I broke my Cuisinart!

[Aggie_Ama]

I don't use mine enough but I did slice my index finger washing it the other day. Shockingly it is the first time I have ever cut myself in the kitchen. My food processor makes bread crumbs and cheesecake crust. I really should figure out more uses for it!

...and it makes homemade pie crusts a cinch! Long live your food processor.

My kitchen aid stand mixer has been making odd noises lately...hubs is afraid if it breaks there will be no more bread for him, LOL!

Mine grinds chickpeas, and occasionally black beans.

Falafel and hummus. That's it. That's enough.

Aggie... I don't want to jinx myself, but it's about the ONLY thing I haven't cut myself with in the kitchen. That, and maybe the refrigerator, although if I thought about it there's probably been a time that I've sliced myself on sheet metal moving or servicing a fridge.

I use mine mostly at this time of the year for one of my favorite soups, cold borscht. I'll also use it soon for gazpacho, once local tomatoes are ripe.

Stick blender for soups. So much more convenient and easier to clean!

I was just talking to my partner, explaining the longevity of quality food processors and stand mixers. Those suckers last forever if loved. We have a cheap food processor and I really want a nice Cuisinart. I use it all the time; sauces, faux ricottas, pureed soups, hummus, walnut pate, anything with vital wheat gluten, pesto, the list goes on.

Oh duh. Of course pesto. It only happens once or twice a year when the basil's at its most prolific, so I forgot!
