Ninja Blender

For my birthday, I asked for a really nice blender. I hadn't ever done any research on blenders before, but the cheap one that we got for our wedding had a crack in the base and I was sick of the smell of the burning motor every time I tried to use it. 

So my husband did a lot of research and found the Ninja Kitchen System 1100 Blender And Food Processor (Google Affiliate Ad). It is a great blender that is much more affordable than other professional quality blenders. One thing I really like about it is that the bottom is flat and the blade is easily removable so that it is easy to clean and the blended food doesn't get stuck in the bottom, like it did with my old blender. 

This blender comes with two pitchers. I have only used the small pitcher so far because there are only two of us and I don't need the entire capacity of the large blender. I have already used it for lots of different recipes, some of which I will be posting this coming week. I have used it to crush ice, chop vegetables, make cookie dough, and make smoothies and I haven't been disappointed yet!
