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!

Ah so many possibilities with a new food processor! I’d probably make some cookie dough thought! It is the season.
nut butters!! yesss
I agree! Nut butters…. they would be so smooth!
Hummus! Can’t never ever get enough.
Ahhhh this would make my pesto dreams come true! Right now I’m chopping basil and smashing pinenuts with a mortar and pestle and transferring in the basil, tbsp by tbsp into the mortar and then into a bowl bit by bit. But holy cow what a transformation this would be!!!
After pesto I’d probably make cashew-cream alfredo sauce or mac-n-cheez sauce with this. So so good!
I would also like to make the creamy cashew sauce! I cannot get it creamy using a blender! Makes my mouth water just thinking about it!! Yumm!!
wow Brandi, that’s so nice of you to do this for someone!!! I don’t need one but I’m glad someone will have a nice Xmas gift ?
Vegan 8 Potato Cheese Sauce!!! Your Cheesey Cheesey Silky Cheese Sauce is our favorite thing ever EVER!
Something sweet for the holidays. With only 8 ingredients, of course!! ? Thanks for this awesome giveaway. Very sweet!
OMG! Red si one of my favorites and it matches everything in my kitchen haha 🙂
It will give me a another reason to cook with REAL foods 🙂 🙂 🙂
So excited for this giveaway! If I won, I would give the food processor to my mom. She is learning how to make more things from scratch because she sees me making all these delicious recipes from you! It would help her a lot transition to a more healthy lifestyle. Thank you so much for this giveaway!!
I would love to win this food processor! Mine just broke! Thanks for all the yummy recipes!
I would give to a friend with a catering business. She is a single mom who is trying to expand her business.
We are on the same health journey and I would do so many things that I usually make by hand, i.e. Dressings, sauces like salsa, doughs, ….. And first of all chop the onions that inevitably make me cry when chopping by hand! Continue the good work. Happy Holidays!
Thank you for thinking of your readings and providing such a generous gift to win!! This would be the perfect color in my kitchen and would help create recipes and make yours much easier!!
Hummus or pesto or baby food! Oh the possibilities!
Lots and Lots of Hummus!
So, I am from Canada BUT WAIT, please don’t dismiss me for it!!! My dearest Cousin lives in Arizona so if this is my lucky (giveaway) day, I will be gifting this win to her (just in time for the holidays!). She is a culinary crafty and I am sure she will make good use of this awesome small home appliance! And her two daughters would love to take it for a spin as well.
Good luck to everyone!
I have a raw vegan brownie recipe with a caramel topping that is delicious but I don’t make it very often because I have a mini food processor (tiny) and I have to cut the recipe in half in order to process it – lol! This is the first recipe I would make, for sure.
Thank you for the giveaway!
The first thing I will make will be some kind of bean dip/spread for veggies or sandwiches.
Thank you for offering such a generous giveaway! If I were to win the food processor, I would like to make nice cream, hummus, salsa and lots of other yummy things in it.
Hummus, Vegan 8 Alfredo sauce, fresh pasta sauce, Vegan 8 lemon pepper sauce…so many things!
I would make hummus first then, who knows??? 🙂
Woowza!!
I’d replace my cracked old cheapo mixer and oh…what a lovely hand model you have ??
Thanks Brandi !
This is on my Christmas List. I would probably make hummus and my dinner. I’m always chopping up veggies to go into my dinner.
The first thing I would make would be almond butter, for snacking and for using in your recipes.
Thanks for the great giveaway! Merry Christmas!
i really want to try a brussel sprout salad, but cant imagine being able to stand long enough to finely slice all those babies! this would make a big difference to my world. love the red! merry christmas!
The first thing? Probably hummus!
Hmmm I’ve never had one so I don’t know, but she would love to try a bunch of different things! ☺
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.
I would make a delicious borscht. I’d use the grating disk to grate the beets and the S-blade to smooth it out.
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.
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!
I can’t wait to try one of the recipes for a raw dessert. All the ingredients need a food processor!
Vegan burgers ! Vegan ice cream ! Vegan cookies ! How do I choose which to make first ? ??
Slaw! Lol! It’s just so much easier to shred the veggies in a processor…
A fresh Cranberry Relish
Such a pretty red food processor! I think it needs some yummy cauliflower rice inside. It looks like snow afterall?
What a great giveaway!! And I love that beautiful red color!
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.
BANANA ICE CREAM! 🙂
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
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.
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
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.
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!!
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!
Hummus for sure! And peanut butter for healthy recipes
