It is a food processor on steroids, twice the size of my old one! I christened it by making cauliflower/spinach mashed 'potatoes'. (Wow, two whole heads of cauliflower and an entire package of spinach at once...)
Since I had a little $ left over, I also bought a cookbook I had wanted for awhile. While I was in the kitchen anyway I figured I might as well try out the recipe for Snobby Joes; so named because they are better than Sloppy Joes in every way.
Here are the ingredients. The finished product came out pretty good, but note for next time:less chili powder (too strong), and watch the lentils more carefully (fell apart)
This was my first time trying red lentils, and they are really good. We tried them over brown rice, and wrapped in sprouted grain corn tortillas. I will be making this again for sure.
Thanks Mom and Dad!

sounds good, do you put anything else in your spinach/cauliflower mashed potatoes?
i steamed 2 cloves of garlic along with the cauliflower, when they were almost done i added the spinach to the steamer. then, processed them with some raw cashews (sorry mom), and some Spike seasoning- any no- salt seasoning would be ok. probably
raw cashew butter would have been better, but i can't find it
so you cooked the potatoes, steamed the veggies then mixed all those ingredients together in the food processor?
yup... except I left out the potatoes
:)
okay, so there's no potatoes in it, now I noticed the quotation marks. How's the texture? Feel creamy like potatoes? Still sounds delicious. How much was the bigger food processor? I still have to cut everything in half or quarters to fit it in the old one.
The 'mash' could be thicker, but the spoon will stand up in it. I think if I used the raw cashew butter instead of the nuts, it would be thicker, or maybe just add a potato. I love the color though, when you add the spinach it turns bright neon green.
Oops, I forgot to add that the food processor holds 14 cups (at least that is what is says on the box).It was around $50.
