If possible, these words would burst through the screen with excitement!
They would take you by the hand, whisk you into my kitchen, and introduce you to my new partner in food...
Reader, meet Red Hot Momma!

Blendtec Total Blender
RHM, say "HELLO" to our guest!
She just arrived a week ago, and we’re already best friends!
She has it all… sleek, compact design, an impeccable sense of style, and she’s tireless in the kitchen! This RHM can blend!
I haven’t introduced you until now because I wanted her all to myself. We spent our first few days together getting acquainted... just the two of us.
I already knew a lot about her from months of researching the question plaguing the health conscious and foodies the world over: “Blendtec or Vita-Mix?” (I'll share more about answering THAT all-important question in upcoming posts.)
Of course, no amount of research replaces hands-on experience! We started slow with cool concoctions like shaved ice and sno-cones.
Shaved ice in under 30 seconds!
For her “welcome” party, we whipped up several salsas and dips, including this spicy Red Bean Hummus (in honor of her flaming exterior, of course!)
Salsa Verde & Spicy Red Bean Hummus... both ready in less than 1 minute!
By that time, we were blending like old friends!
Lucky for me, she's a dairy free gal, too! She also understood when I told her she would never have nuts, soy, or gluten whirling in either of her spacious square jars. (That's right... we have TWO of Blendtec's fabulous vessels!) We hit it off right away!
The time had come for... CHOCOLATE!
You must understand, I’ve contemplated a rich Dairy Free Chocolate Mousse for some time. The idea comes and goes. RHM brought it up again.
She claimed she could have a decadent chocolate mousse ready to chill in less than a minute. She also claimed we could do it without eggs... making it VEGAN! It was a bet... I grabbed our ingredients!
She won the bet (I know it will be the first of many!)... the Dairy Free, make that Vegan(!), Chocolate Mousse she made was incredible!
Vegan Chocolate Mousse ~ blend in under a minute, then chill!
I know you’ll want to make this indulgent, silky mousse, too. You don't have to have a Blendtec but, honestly, RHM is quite a machine and a true pleasure to use.
No one will EVER guess it's dairy free!
Dairy Free - Make That Vegan(!) - Chocolate Mousse
Gluten Free, Soy Free, Nut Free
3/4 cup light coconut milk (from a can)
1 cup Enjoy Life Foods chocolate chips

Rest assured you'll be hearing a lot more from the two of us. We're practically inseparable!
