I bought it at K-Mart (I never go to that store and I couldn't believe the sales ad today) for $39.00 ~ CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!!! Regularly $99.00 but it was on sale and there were only 2 left when I got there, and since I've been home I have had a great time playing with it ~ sliced up a whole bunch of stuff AND TOMORROW

SteveLA homemade butter recipe ~ in fact that was my driving force to get one.

I never had one before so this is all new to me ~ I am loving it right now

Now in search of something to slice hahahahahahaha

 
Don't forget you can make your own peanut butter, hummus, I like grinding almonds for cake, and

best of all, grinding or shredding good parmesan to keep in the fridge/freezer. It's amazing how much they charge for good shredded parm these days!

I use mine for soooo many things, have fun!

 
Heather, do you have a recipe for PEANUT BUTTER? That would be GREAT TO MAKE ~ I sliced tomatos so

thin for dinner salad, and celery, onions and carrots too. It was great ~ zip and it's done ~ Man, I am so loving this new toy of mine

 
Ah, it's more of a method than a recipe, you need about 2 cups of

freshly roasted peanuts - and turn on the machine until it's smooth! Sometimes I like to add a little honey after it's blended. You do have to stir it up each time but it tastes so good, especially for recipes for peanut sauce. A friend makes her own almond butter (almonds that don't have their skins, then roasted).

Does anyone else make their own peanut or nut butter? I defer to greater experience!

 
How about pizza dough? Here's Abby Mandel's recipe.

BASIC PIZZA DOUGH

1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

1 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees)

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons olive oil

Stir the yeast and sugar into the water and let the mixture stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Place the flour and salt in the work bowl of a food processor. Turn on the processor; slowly pour the yeast mixture through the feed tube and let the dough mass together. Next, add the oil through the feed tube and process the dough until it cleans the sides of the bowl but is still moist. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour; if too dry, add more water. When the dough is the right consistency–moist but not so wet that it sticks to your fingers or the sides of the bowl–process until kneaded, about 40 seconds. The dough should be supple and elastic when you stretch it with your hands.

Transfer the dough to a large plastic food bag, squeeze out the air and seal the top, leaving enough room inside for the dough to expand. Place the bag in a bowl and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down. The dough can be used now or refrigerated up to five days.

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Roll each piece on a floured board to make about an 8-inch circle. Stack the rounds between oiled sheets of wax paper. The dough can be rolled in advance and refrigerated several hours or frozen.

I made this a couple nights ago and used half the dough to make a medium size pizza. Put the rest of the dough in the refrigerator, and last night made a second pizza. I gave you the source of the recipe, because she gives directions to cook the 8-inch rounds on the grill. By the way, you can let the dough rise in a bowl covered with saran instead of in a plastic bag.

Have fun with your food processor.
