Santa Claus is coming to town… again :)

Did Santa let you down?  If your request—that Santa bring you a new Vitamix 5200—fell upon deaf ears, the Vita-mix Company is here to save the day (for one of you, anyway).

* Side note: Remember the Pitch Me Contest I mentioned earlier? 

Go here to see all the videos people sent in and vote for your favorites.*

At the risk of sounding redundant, here’s a recap of the amazing machine known as the Vitamix 5200:

The Vita-mix is not your average blender.  This extremely powerful machine can turn fruit into ice cream, produce steaming hot soup without a microwave, grind nuts into velvety butter… all in a matter of minutes (or seconds!).  In short, this one machine can do the job of ten other kitchen appliances—with no added attachments.

    I have been wanting one for over 5 yrs. I just can’t afford it, but need it so badly. I go through so many blenders that I could have bought one by now :(
    I’m trying to lose weight and the Vitamix would make soooo easy :)
    Thanks for the chance to win such an amazing machine.

    Lucy is my favorite!!! And the correlation between that episode and the blender (and the picture!) is just hilarious. You have such a great sense of humor.

    KATIE YOU ARE MY HERO FOR HAVING THIS GIVEAWAY! YOU ROCK! I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A VITAMIX SO BADLY!!! I have a magic bullet and it makes okay nut butters but If i could get them silky smooth…it would take my nut butter passion to a whole new level. Vitamix = whole new level of yumminess! Oh, the possibilities!

    I am new to the blogging world so I took a gander at your Fudge Baby recipes. I would make a batch of the Raw Ginger Babies first in the Vita-Mix. They sound and look delicious!!!! My husband’s jaw dropped when he saw the pricetag of the Vita-Mix at Costco yesterday. Winning this would go a long way to us and our check book happy!
