7 Foods You Should Never Put In Your Blender

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

I love my blender. It is my most-used small appliance. I worked at the smoothie bar in college, and my family even once owned a frozen yogurt and shake shop, meaning that for years I nearly always had a blender in at least one hand. I am a true believer, a worshiper at the altar of an ultra-smooth mix.

But this essential tool needs to be cared for in order for it to remain useful for years and keep your food safe. Here are some things you should definitely avoid putting in the blender—no matter how powerful your blades are.

25 Budget-Friendly Recipes To Fill Your Thanksgiving Table

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

Plan Thanksgiving Dinner on a Budget

From fresh herbs and fancy cheeses to pricey nuts and best-quality bottles of wine, it’s easy to overspend when you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner. It’s tempting to want to go all-out (even if you’re planning a smaller get-together) but it’s not necessary in order to cook a truly special meal. Even if you’re trying to stick to a budget, you can still put delicious appetizers, a roast, plenty of sides and some traditional desserts on the table—you just need the right recipes and a few smart swaps. (Spoiler alert: We’ve even got a trick for stretching a bottle of wine so that you can serve up a Thanksgiving cocktail, too!) Ready to plan your feast and save some money? These are the recipes you need, starting with this one-pan roasted chicken. It’s just the right size for a smaller group (why spend money on extra turkey that you don’t need?) and, with a touch of sage, rosemary and thyme, it will make your entire kitchen smell just like the holidays.
