As anyone who has attempted to eat clean knows, it can be really challenging at times. Ok, realistically, most of the time. It’s not only about the temptation, or the availability of processed foods, but prepping can be seriously tedious and time-consuming. It’s often what pushes my friends away from trying it in the first place. I have to be honest and say that I couldn’t really blame them for how they felt until I purchased my first Cuisinart food processor. That was when my whole world changed.
When I first took the plunge into the world of food prep, it was not pretty. I detested the chopping and the big mess I was left with when I was finished. I didn’t have a dishwasher at the time, so wow, did it take me a long time to clean that up. It didn’t take long for me to throw in the towel. I was just over it.
When I finally got my Cuisinart food processor made the bulk of my food prep simple. I no longer had to stand in my kitchen and chop vegetable after vegetable for hours on end. It’s fine for a single meal, but wow, when you’re prepping for the week it is a lot of work. Not anymore. I could not have been happier at discovering how much easier this was making things. I was finally committing to clean eating for real this time.
I was super excited to get on the KitchenWorksUSA website to purchase some new parts for my Cuisinart food processor. They sell actual Cuisinart DLC-7 parts, which is so helpful. I was able to get a few different blades: one for grating, shredding, and chopping. It’s so cool to be able to do this with one tool rather than having to dirty up a bunch of things in my kitchen at one time.
I also purchased an expanded sleeve, a food pusher, and a dough blade so I could make clean cookies and bread. These are a few of my favorite things to make now thanks to these extra parts. Side note- I never realized how good clean cookies can actually be. Now I know!
For anyone who is struggling to eat clean due to time, space, or just not wanting to put in the work, I highly recommend purchasing one of these amazing kitchen tools. It really takes a lot of the work out of getting your meals ready for the week. Then there’s less stress to deal with as the week goes on, because you don’t have to think about what you’re taking to lunch today, or making for dinner tonight. You only need to make that decision once a week, and I know that’s plenty for me.
