I got a gift card to Target from my godchild for Christmas. I bought some new laundry hampers to help organize our new closet. Well, they ended up having a nasty smell to them that would not go away so I took them back. I usually spend gift cards on things I need. Not things I want. I decided that it was a gift, and I should look around to see what else was available that I could spend money on. While roaming the aisle looking at crock pots, I happened upon 'The Magic Bullet'. You have all seen the Infomercial. Party in a box. 'Just twist on the cross blades and in...One. Two. Three. seconds you have a __________________.

Well...My sister has a magic bullet and talked my mom into getting one too. They say they really like it. So, I took the plunge. I brought home my 'Party in a Box' and here is what I have made so far.
Humus - Remember I found out over Thanksgiving that I like that stuff?
Here is the easy recipe. (I tried a few...this one tastes the best so far.)
14 oz chick peas
3/4 cup chicken broth
2 TBS lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
2 TBS tahini paste (Hard stuff to find)
Paprika to sprinkle on top afterwards....
Fruit Smoothies for breakfasts in the party mug with the color coated comfort lip.
Bob's is blueberry, mine is raspberry. I also made some cheese and chicken Quesidillias. Yeah for the magic Bullet.

yea, welcome to the club. Glad you are finally on board.
I don't mean to be crass, but when you first mentioned the "Magic Bullet" and the "Party in a Box", a blender is not what came to mind.
Phew, I wasn't the only one thinking it. "Magic Bullet" conjures a whole other picture for me, and not something that's used in the kitchen. . . well, by most people, I would imagine.
What are Amy and Lisa talking about???????? Mmmmmmmmmmm?
