One of the most sought-after kitchen brands on the market, Vitamix is known for its high quality, durable, and innovative blenders. With the ability to blend the smoothest of smoothies, silkiest of soups, and to pulverize the toughest nuts and seeds, these blenders have become the gold standard for home cooks and professionals alike. With a wide range of models that boast features like wireless connectivity, aircraft-grade stainless steel blades, and uniquely designed containers, Vitamix’s products are high performing but also tend to be high priced. However, the cost comes with the confidence that these blenders will outlast most other kitchen counter machines on the market. If you’re considering investing in one of these all-star appliances, we’ve gathered nine of the best Vitamix blenders, ranging from simple to high-tech to help you get in the mix.

The Best Self-Sustainable Food Ideas to Grow Your Own Food
man working in his garden of vegetables.

Our modern-day food system is significantly different than it once was. No longer are we mostly self-sufficient, growing and eating our own food, but rather nearly everything that makes its way to our kitchen table has been shipped hundreds or thousands of miles. Not only is this worse for the environment because it increases the carbon footprint and contributes to global warming, but it also disconnects us from our food and makes us heavily reliant on the multilevel commercial food system.

Growing your own food can be a deeply gratifying, fun, environmentally friendly, and more affordable way to bring nutritious foods to your table. Food self-sufficiency may be a lofty goal, but you don’t have to grow or produce everything on your plate to make strides toward being more sustainable, economical, and self-sufficient with your food consumption. Even if you live in a small apartment and have no land to grow vegetables or raise chickens, for example, you can still dabble in food self-sufficiency and cultivate some nutritious and delicious foods inside your very own kitchen.

Cooks rely on a number of utilitarian tools, from a trusty wooden spoon to a quality blender. A reliable small saucepan is on the list of must-haves for anybody with culinary leanings. The small pot can pretty much do it all. You know the type -- the small, handled vessels you see stacked ceiling-high in the kitchen of your favorite restaurant. There are many reasons why they're so beloved. A small saucepan can boil, simmer, reduce, thicken, congeal, and more.

Need to quickly melt some butter and whip up some chocolate sauce? Need to boil a small bit of pasta? Fine-tuning your homemade barbecue sauce or baked beans recipe? Making some mulled wine for a small group? The small saucepan is your savior. Like a chef's knife or apron, it should be one of the most-used and most accessible items in your culinary arsenal.
