I haven’t mentioned an important component of my daily regimen – my Vitamix.  Everyday, I blend up my morning fruit drink in this extraordinary piece of kitchen equipment!!!  I absolutely love it and recommend it highly. 

Russ and I bought our Vitamix about 20 years ago and paid an exorbitant $ 400 for it.  It was, however, one of the best investments we have ever made.  We use it each and every day.  Over the years, Russ has also made many a frozen margarita in it and garnered lots of accolades!  Of course, he loves that!!
