As cliche as it might seem, the small signs of spring, the days lengthening, flowers blossoming, and long awaited spring veggies from the farms never gets old for me. All of it is so transient each year, at least on the East coast, that it just feels so poignant each time we go through it. Mothers on the other hand are the opposite of transient in our lives and too easily taken for granted... so Mother's Day placed in the glory of the spring season is such a perfect contrast to the exciting but otherwise fleeting beauty of spring as compared to the more reliable and ever present beauty of our Mothers :)
Celebrate the special women in your lives who have been instrumental in helping you along the way and show them you care by cooking up a storm!
We're excited to partner with Vitamix this Mother's day & a team of talented bloggers who will seriously put a smile on your mom's face if you make her any of these delicious recipes. The new Ascent Series Vitamix makes quick work out of any blending task and would be a welcome addition to your mother's kitchen, if she does not have one already. They've made some serious advancements with the new machine - and we are thrilled with how powerful and sleek it is. Be sure to follow along as we show you a variety of ways to use the new machine and hopefully, inspire you to head to the kitchen and make something delicious for the mothers in your life.
