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!

a Rafflecopter giveaway
I would be whipping up some vegan pesto with the frozen basil I harvested this summer!
I would make cashew cream…I love it but I can’t get it smooth enough with my ninja!
I use my food processor the most of all of my kitchen appliances as well, and I fear for for its longevity!! It has already broken down twice and is in poor condition. Winning this would be a dream, and I would probably make nut butters, your amazing bean dips, and other desserts first:)
I would make hummus for my husband. It is his favorite food!
Wow, what a generous lady you are! And how I wish I lived in the US!!!!! I hope whoever is lucky enough to win this will really enjoy using it to make your great recipes:)
What a professional hand model your daughter is:) Have a good Christmas Holidays
If I won this AMAZING food processor, I would make 7 Ingredient No-Bake Pecan Pie Bars!! I absolutely LOVE these!! What a sweet offering!! Thank you for all your recipes. I can ALWAYS make these with confidence. Everything I’ve tried has been GREAT!!
Hummus and pesto for sure, and I’d live to dive deeper into exploring alternative vegan nut/grain milks. My current food processor is circa 1980 (first generation Cuisinart my mom had), the bowl is cracked, and the motor doesn’t sound so good anymore. It’s served me well, but it’s telling me it can’t last forever.
I’d make energy bites!
I would make a batch of healthy yummy cookie dough for the holidays!
I’d chop veggies to make pasta sauce
The dinky mini food processor I have currently simply cannot handle making nut butters, so that would be the first thing I’d want to make.
I will surely make my Alfredo sauce ❤️?
I would make some homemade nutella! Then I would work on my bean dips!
Thank you so much for this giveaway! I have always wanted one of these!:) I’d make my first batch of vegan protein bars in this and then make some hummus, salsa, and some vegan oatmeal raisin cookie dough too!:) Merry Christmas!
A sauce. Nut sauce?
My food processor broke and we had it for many years! So the first things I would make are nut butters, hummus, and different flours!
Wow so kind of you for the giveaway! Perfect for baby purrees to make in large batch to freeze!
I can’t wait to use this to chop all of the veggies!
I love your blog Brandi and love especially the 20 Minute Vegan Alfredo recipe. Winning the Kitchen Aid food processor from you would be the icing on the cake for me this Christmas. I could make all the wonderful nut butter recipes I got from your blog as well. Have a merry and blessed holiday.
So sweet, thank you so much Rita!
I would make Tomatillo Salsa Verde.
Falafel and then everything!
This week I’ve been really wanting a food processor to shred potatoes for potatoe pancakes.
Thank you so much for your generous giveaway! I would made a honey sea salt almond butter for sure
It’s so sweet of you to do this! I’m a student and don’t have a food processor which makes it a little bit more difficult to make certain things. I’ve been absolutely DYING to make falafel but can’t really do it successfully by mashing the chickpeas, so falafel is the first thing I would make!
Cheers!
Homemade salsa! YUM 🙂
You rock, lady 🙂
I just made your pumpkin almond butter cookies and need to make another batch! So I would start off with making oat flour in the food processor 😉 the cookies were awesome, btw!!! I sold them at a bake sale and everyone loved them!
I would make raw food energy balls for my ultra runner husband <3
First thing I’d make is a huge batch of black bean burgers or hummus!!! ? I need help with the Twitter url and url for Pinterest.. I did both but I don’t know how to add the url from my phone.. ? lmk how I can do it. Thanks!!!
Oh I would make hummus, deserts and lots lots more……
I love that your blog is flourishing and well-deserved! And, not sponsored? How so generous of you! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
Awesome for anyone’s present.
I would make a lot of recipes that call for a heavy duty mixer that I don’t have. My puney hand mixer isn’t cutting it anymore! ?
i use mine to grind nuts to ferment into cheese… i use it to grate veggies to ferment into sauerkraut… and for all sorts of yummy things!
i will gift my x-large food processor to my son in law to make his wonderful salsa (he makes gallons of the stuff) and keep the smaller one. that way he won’t have to borrow mine every month.
I actually have a food processor, which I use for making cookies and hummus but my best friend would love it if I sent her this for Christmas!!
so many things, but would probably start with hummus
Your vegan cream cheese!!!
Nut butter — any and every kind!
Thank you for creating so many delicious recipes and inspiring posts! My family is new to the vegan lifestyle and your blog has been an amazing resource to us! We will have been vegan one year next week and have learned so much about cooking this last year but am still looking for ways to speed up the process and be less tempted to go out to eat. A food processor would save us time and temptation. The faster we get our dinner done the more time we can spend together AND we will be more likely to stay in and cook. Even if you don’t pick me just wanted to say thank you for all you do and for keeping this blog going. 🙂
I will make hummus! and duxelles! And thin sliced green beans for curried green beans …
Nut butters! So delicious and versatile!
i have a food processor that’s almost 40 years old and isn’t at it’s prime anymore. I’d love to be the lucky winner.
The first thing I would make would be my own HOMEMADE BUTTER with Goat’s Milk!
Then I would make some Almond Butter, Hummus & Pie Crusts for Christmas dinner! 🙂
Definitely salsa!!
I’m not sure which one, but I would definitely make one of your burger recipes. Probably the Mexican Black Bean Burgers. I’ve never owned a food processor, but now that I’m eating the whole food plant based way, I sure wish I had one. HOWEVER, I live in the Philippines and so maybe that disqualifies me 🙂
Cool !
