Victoria's Nut Milk Secrets!
The GetWell StayWell Victory Kitchen was never the same once the VITA-MIX joined the rest of the appliances! I had always thought the VITA-MIX was just a glorified and over-sized and over-priced blender! When going beyond these misconceptions, however, I found myself using the VITA-MIX joyously and daily! The most fun of all food preparations so far with this mighty VITA-MIX has been in making Nut Milk Nuances. Below, I share some of these Nut Milk Adventures.
