This post is all about you guys. Gratitude is a big deal to me. I thank you. You readers, you who make my recipes each week and you who have continually supported me and my blog, many of you from the very beginning when I started it just over 2 years ago.
For the past 2 years, my blog has grown more than I ever imagined and I have YOU all to thank for it. I had a very specific vision when I started The Vegan 8 and it has become such a big part of my life and one of my greatest passions. Without you all making my recipes and loving them and sharing them with your family and friends, it would not grow. Yes, I work extremely hard in the kitchen testing to share recipes, which is important for a blog to grow since the recipes need to be great, but my gratitude goes to you guys who make them. Over and over. I have gotten to know many of you by name and know your stories and even many of your allergies. I have worked hard to show you I care about you and your requests and connect with you.
To show you my gratitude, I figured a big beautiful shiny NEW Red KitchenAid Food Processor would be a great Christmas present for one of you. I chose a food processor because it is the ONE major kitchen appliance I use the MOST out of everything. I absolutely cannot live without it and I use it more than anything else for my recipes. Since so many of you have stated you do not have one, I figured this would be the best gift to share as a giveaway.
I love receiving your comments, feedback and your emails each week. I love getting your recipe requests and although it takes me some time to get to them all, I’m truly touched that you reach out to me and have confidence in me to create something for you. You really don’t know how humbled I am by that. So, thank you.
So, to enter this giveaway, it’s very simple. All you have to do is TWO things: Enter the Giveaway below and be subscribed to my blog. Afterall, I’m giving you the opportunity to win a brand new appliance, you should already be subscribed I hope, haha! You can subscribe in the red box on the right side bar, if you haven’t yet!
This is not a sponsored post, I bought this with my own money, so I can only afford to ship it within the USA, so please don’t be mad at me if you live outside the US. 🙂
Here is my beautiful daughter being a cute little hand model for the processor….this picture seriously made me laugh!
GOOD LUCK! One of you will get this beautiful new KitchenAid Food Processor for Christmas this year! Exciting!

I windered why there were so many comments.
Anywho, your link to subscribe is waaay on the bottom of your mobile site. Just thought that if you m9ved it up, you might get more subs.
Thanks for tje giveaway!
Hi Rachel, that’s only way on the bottom because of the large amount of comments on this specific post, and it being on a mobile. If logged onto a computer, it is directly on the right side bar. With any blog, the subscribe box unfortunately isn’t seen due to the way sites are setup on mobile devices, except to scroll down below. The view is just different.
I also typically have the subscribe box directly beneath the recipe, but since this is not a recipe post, it’s not immediately below the post.
My food processor broke last year so I am so waiting another one. I would make hummus since it is one of my favorite foods and just not the same making it in my vitamix
I would love to make your hummus, cheese and nut butter recipes.
This is a beautiful processor and it would look so amazing in my kitchen. I would make your awesome cream cheese first!
I would make almond nut butter, my husbands favorite!
The first thing I would make in my new food processor is a creamy nut butter! Peanut, almond, cashew…oh the possibilities!
I would love to win this food processor! It would be a great addition to our kitchen 🙂
I tried to subscribe to your blog, but it said I was using an invalid email. I tried with a second email and it did the same thing. I will try again, or you may use the above email to sign me up. (Both emails I tried to use are genuine and valid emails. ) Thank you 🙂
I was finally able to successfully subscribe to your blog. Yay!!! Now I’m fully entered in the giveaway 🙂
I would love to make a certain yummy Cranberry Orange Relish which requires grinding a whole orange, and which I’ve tried making in my wimpy blender with ultimate Fail…!
Thanks!!
I would make some roasted red pepper hummus or grilled eggplant babaganoush! 🙂
What a beauty! Thanks for the give away fun!
What a generous giveaway Brandi! You certainly are one special blogger 🙂 If I won, I would make a big batch of tofu queso!!
So nice of you to have this give away.
Almond butter!
There is this chocolate peanut butter pie that I love, which is kind of complicated to make without a food processor, because the crust is completely made of nuts, oats and dates. I’ve had to get creative with my coffee grinder…
So that would be the first thing I’d make.
Brandi, I am fairly new to your blog (just a couple of months now), but I have been so impressed by your delicious recipes and your kind and generous spirit! Thank you for sharing both of those things with all of us! If I won this beautiful food processor the first thing I would do is shred a ton of zucchini to make your smoky corn and zucchini fritters. Yum! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Awww thank you so much for those kind words Angie, I really appreciate it and I’m so happy you are loving the recipes! Merry Christmas!
Cookies, cole slaw, nut butters!
Bean brownies!
I would love to make some nice, smooth nut butter!
A food processor would be a great gift to open on Christmas day!
I’d make a Vegan8 dish I haven’t dared to yet because my blender couldn’t handle the work.
I’m not sure where I would start. I would be so excited just looking at it.
Oh all the possibilities with a new Kitchen Aid Food Processor!
