New Year, and new outlook

I am so impressed with my new Vita mix. I just constantly look for recipes to make and make up recipes. The amount of vegetables you can put into tasty foods with a tool like this is wonderful. I bought so many fruits last week that I had 4 grocery bags of pears, apples, oranges, avocados, bananas, carrots, and greens. Yesterday I cut up the leftover fruit and got 9 bags of fruit to put in the freezer for smoothies. I don't want to waste food. I don't have to buy as much fruit this week. I don't need any carrots, but we used all the bananas and avocados.
