I'd love for people to post recipes and links to info! So many of us MDC mama's love the nutritional benefits and ease of our vita mix (etc). I just got on this week off the costco web site it came with a lot of extras It was 649.00 and came with dry blender and a smaller wet blender not to mention the best piece of cookware I've ever owned the Neova 1.75 qt. pan...awesome!~

I love the smoothies and soups but I know there is a learning curve! Please share here help this become the best thread for people looking for vita mix recipes and info!

This is my moms beandip recipe... you can make it in other blenders.... but you might kill them... (I blame my burning-out 2 kitchenaids in as many years on this recipe alone...):

Cook 5 cups of pinto beans in a crockpot w/ 1-2 yellow onions on High for 8-12 hours then on low for an additional 12-16 hours (so it totals ~24 hours of cooking time). Add a strip of Kombu if you have it/think of it (I only do this maybe 1/4 of the time...)

For every 4 cups of cooked beans add 3 TBSP apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp oregano and 1/2 tsp salt. Blend until smooth. Use in place of 'refried beans' in burritos/tacos/nachos/tostadas/etc or just dip corn chips in it. Delicious!!
