Basil pesto + Electrolux Turbo Pro stick mixer giveaway

I was watching this lovely video by Tiger In A Jar recently and had the urge to make pesto. I love fresh pesto, especially in a ricotta lasagne. Ricotta lasagne is one of those dishes I love so much that I make it with a frequency which makes my little family sigh slightly at dinner time. ("Oh not this again.") 

I love the utilitarianism of the Tiger In A Jar method of making pesto, but I have to admit I'm more of a modern girl when it comes to making pesto myself.

I prefer to use a stick mixer to make pesto because it's less mess and fuss so when Electrolux contacted me to see if I would like to try their TURBO Pro stick mixers my mind immediately thought of making basil pesto. 

Using the TURBO Pro stick mixer made maxing pesto so quick - and washing up a whole lot easier.

I also have one of their Electrolux TURBO Pro stick mixers valued at $139 to give away. You'll love how the TURBO Pro stick mixer helps you take your cooking to the next level - whether you're whisking an egg, grinding up a curry paste or blending your favourite icy cold summer cocktail.

I would definitely use it to perfect some ice cool drinks to share with the family on Christmas Day!

[Samantha Barrett]

This looks amazing! I would love to use this to make my American family some yummy South African dishes like milktart and crunchies.

[Marie]

Ohhh how exciting! Winning this little piece of lovely would be fabulous! I would use it to teach my two little ladies how to make their own crushed ice and raspberry drinks for summer.

[Karli]

Processed foods have just been thrown out of my kitchen this week! My young family of six is having a healthy overhaul, and what a great addition this would be to make healthy, fresh, from-scratch new recipes!

[Isabel]

I could make a lot of humus!

[nicole o]

Oh goodness.. the question is, "What WOULDN'T I use this for?" I have a very low-end immersion blender and am dying for an upgrade!

[Naomi]

I would love this so my husband could make his kale-shake's without waking us all up at 5am with our blender! ;)

[Traveling Mama]

This has been on my wish list for a while! I would love to have one for all the soups we make all winter!

[spark]

Christmas is coming so pavlovas would be on my list. I have a stick blender gifted years ago and am in absolute awe of all the attachments I can see in the above picture!

[saniel]

[Alina]

Soups! Thank you!

[Emma]

Count me in please! It looks fabulous and love the diversity of the different attachments!!

[Misty]

I'd use it to make baby food...& since I'm a picky vegetarian, I'd use it for hummus and to purée chunky sauces lol

[Liz]

I'd use it for baking - basically anything involving whisking. All I currently own is a 'spiral whisk' that looks like this: http://www.florin-trade.ru/catalog/blex/1005.jpg. Absolutely useless!

[Kerry]

I would use it in the creation of delicious soups during the cold months of winter!

[Bhavna]

Indian and Thai smooth curries for Main Course and Pavlova for desert!

[Maddie]

Hommous!!!!! I have been craving it like crazy throughout my pregnancy so far and making it myself would save a WHOLE LOT of money!!! Seriously...that stuff is the shiz!!

P.S I just read some other comments and it seems I'm not alone here #myobsessioniscompletelynormal #idontneedanintervention

[Jodie - Muddled UP Mumma]

I'd love to use this to make soups and do some baking with my little man.

[Lou]

Would absolutely love this Electrolux Turbo Pro to make mango smoothies and vanilla milkshakes for my two little boys...it would be perfect timing as our old mixer just broke!!
