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!

Hummus of course!!!! Ooooooh! And your cheese sauce!
That is a beautiful food processor! It would chop up the celery, green peppers, and onions just right for red beans and rice! This is a very thoughtful giveaway! Thanks…
Ahhhh it would be such a dream to win this!!! I would make date crust for a cake!!!
So many choices. I think first would be salsa or a tart crust.
I would probably make (or try to make) some homemade vegan cheese. I don’t have a food processor or I decent blender that can handle blending the nuts and everything required so I’ve never tried making it before.
Hummus for sure! And peanut butter for healthy recipes
I would shred lots of veggies! It sounds kinda boring but I’m so tired of chopping them by hand! Thank you for all that you do!
Hi Brandi! Thank u so sooo much. Omg i have always dreames of this food processor!! So, the first thing i would do is have a dip party and make a ton of the dips from your website <3 love love love ur recipes!!
Cashew butter I always want to make but never tried. What a wonderful gift for some lucky winner. Your recipes are great and I always look forward to receiving thems. Thanks again.
My first thing would be make some coconut butters in flavors. They are a little too expensive to buy most of the time.
Then some nut butters and on to just using it everyday for regular meals!
KitchenAid is such a great appliance maker
Think I’d make more cashew butter! Baked my first vegan cookies the other day, the sugar cookies, and was delightfully surprised at how delicious they were! I couldn’t find any raw cashew butter so I had to make my own.
I would love to make hummus like mom does !! She always makes it so creamy and I can never get it to be the same 🙂 maybe mine will be creamier than hers 😉 thank you so much for doing this awesome giveaway. Xoxo
BANANA ICE CREAM! 🙂
I would make almond butter first! I buy so much of it and I definitely think it would be cheaper for me to make my own.
What a great giveaway!! And I love that beautiful red color!
Such a pretty red food processor! I think it needs some yummy cauliflower rice inside. It looks like snow afterall?
A fresh Cranberry Relish
Slaw! Lol! It’s just so much easier to shred the veggies in a processor…
Vegan burgers ! Vegan ice cream ! Vegan cookies ! How do I choose which to make first ? ??
I can’t wait to try one of the recipes for a raw dessert. All the ingredients need a food processor!
What a lovely giveaway! So sweet!
The first thing I’d make in the food processor would be your fat-free cheese sauce. I have no excuse for not making it yet!
Ohh pecan butter to make your cookies! I am dying to make some homemade nut butters. Your daughter is a seriously talented hand model, by the way! Haha! That is soooo cute.
I would make a delicious borscht. I’d use the grating disk to grate the beets and the S-blade to smooth it out.
You are very sweet for doing this giveaway. Your recipes are enough of a gift believe me but this for sure is a very nice thing for you to do for your readers. We are just as thankful to you as your are to us. So thank you 🙂 Food processor definitely comes in handy I definitely would have a lot more recipe options if I had them. I am subscribed to your blog but under just my main email. I should subscribe under my email I created for my instagram account cause that’s the email I put when I comment. 🙂 I shall do that now.
Hmmm I’ve never had one so I don’t know, but she would love to try a bunch of different things! ☺
