Video: Broccoli Hut-Approved Kitchen Gadgets
Hello, everyone! I hope you’re enjoying your weekend. Due to a combination of rainy weather and hopeless procrastination, I have produced another video for your viewing pleasure. This installment discusses a few of my favorite kitchen gadgets and small appliances. Oh, and I promise that I do smile in real life, contrary to the sour-puss temperament I seem to have in my video posts!
See below for pictures of the dishes I have created with the aid of these tools.

Hello and welcome! I have created this blog for people who love food, especially healthful, vegetarian food.
I currently attend college in North Carolina, where I am studying English and psychology, although I plan on pursuing an additional degree in nutrition after I graduate. Ideally, I would like to combine my love of food and the written word someday as a health writer.
Love the thunderstorm “special effects” in the background, haha
You’re so fun on camera!! Love it!!
Love this post! Thanks so much for the video post

You are so cute! I think you and I both need a VitaMix, no?
You are such a natural in front of the camera! I love it =)
Ooo scary thunderstorm! haha
Do you ever get really full from smoothies? I want to drink them, but whenever I do I get really full really fast.
mmmm your oat bran looks so perfect! I like the addition of lemon and lime zest!!
you make kitchen appliances seem so much more fun! totally jealous of your blender, i need to get one pronto! also, that blended bowl of oat bran looks ridiculously amazing!
hope you had a great weekend!
I love my Magic Bullet and my Pampered Chef Mandoline
I also eat out of measuring cups LOL!
Love your blog!
Thanks for the video! My favorite gadget is definitely my cuisinart panini press/griddle!
I totally loove my hand blender..is that the same as an immersion blender?
You are just adorable! So pretty!
Thanks for the video. Sometimes it is so nice to see and hear my favorite bloggers
You are adorable! And all your gadgets sound great, I really need to invest in a food processor. Glad you and your electricity survived that storm… sounded/looked pretty bad out there
You’re so dang cute! LOVE that it started thundering and that the lights were flickering during the vid….hahah aww thunderstorms can be so much fun, SOMETIMES!
After seeing this I REALLY wish I had that veggie chopper AND your fave smoothie blender right about now!! My versions are very basic, and not so exciting!
i loveeeeeeeeeee my george forman <33 love the video post! you're so pretty
All your eats look so fresh and delicious! I want to go picking blackberries. YUUUM!
Great post, Caroline! You are so cute–totally do not look like you have a “sour-puss temperament”
. This video convinced me to get one of those Cuisinart hand blender I’ve been contemplating about. I hope you have a fabulous week too!
So cute! I can’t live without my Kitchenaid stand mixer, what with all the baking I do.
haha love it!!!
-your kitchen aid food processor is so adorable!!!
- I DESP. want a can strainer and chop and drop…thing-ma-bob (forgot what it is called!!)
- your power in and out was hilarious! and that was SUCH loud thunder!!!
you are so cute Caroline!! i have the same G F grill too!!
thanks for another great video!!!
It totally would have been perfect timing if the power went out right at the end of the video!
I think my immersion blender is my current favourite kitchen gadget.

Really cool video, I am having fun reading your posts!
I was wondering if you had a vitamix for all your smoothies but I am glad to see you do it with a regular blender.
I love smoothies too but would like my blender to do a better job in making it reeeeeally smooth (like the planet smoothies ones). Do you have any order of adding ingredients to your blender when you make smoothies or do you just dump everything and blend it at once? I would love to know more of your smoothie tricks!
I have a blog too, you can stop by and leave me a comment or send me an e-mail (anacardia AT nc.rr.com), I would really like to get an idea of how you blend your delicious looking smoothie concoctions!
Love your blog!
