4. Pesto
If you thought pesto was a tricky dish, you’d be wrong. At least it’s not when you have a good processor! Fresh ingredients like cheese, garlic, pinenuts and basil are pureed before your very eyes and then added to pasta and sandwiches to add both a beautiful color but an even tastier flavor.
Homemade pesto is surprisingly easy, and GimmeSomeOven.com shows you how! Check out this site for plenty of recipes to keep you busy in the kitchen.

5. Hummus
Hummus is the perfect snack and if you live in California, it’s pretty much a requirement that you have it in the fridge at all times (we’re pretentious cool like that). It’s so delicious that it’s easy to plow through a tub in no time, making it a semi-expensive treat. With just a few ingredients, you can toss into your food processor and have fresh hummus, without all the preservatives in as little time as it takes you to say “food processor.”

6. Pie Crusts
Before you get too excited, no- your food processor will not spit out a perfectly chilled and formed pie crust for you. But it WILL cut in butter way better than sifting through flour with a knife, and it won’t give you a sore wrist either. If you’ve ever wanted to try and make your own pie crusts, this is the way to start out.
