We bought our cat wet cat food in chunk form, in bulk. We made the mistake of not sampling it with her first. That picky bitch will only eat the pate. For months ongoing, my girlfriend has been using the Magic Bullet to create pate and keeps it in the fridge. The roommates have yet to taste any. At least the Bullet is getting some use...
Grasshoppers! Equal parts green Creme de Menthe, clear Creme de Cacao, and milk with just enough ice. They're great at the end of a night of drinking because they don't make your hangover worse.
My friend Sean came up with a variation: use brown Creme de Cacao and add a shot of espresso. We named it a Dirt Bike.
@SSteve At first I thought you meant real grasshoppers… like the ones where I find decapitated bodies all over the house as the cats catch them and eat the heads. LOL
Blender pancakes. If you don't have a grain mill you can still take wheat berries and use a good blender and other ingredients to make a slightly toothsome whole grain batter that makes awesome pancakes. Plus our blender has a food processor top that we use to make pub burgers from steaks.
I make drunkshakes: mint Baileys, three olives chocolate vodka, mocha Kahlua, tgifridays mudslides in a bottle, ice cream, chocolate syrup, whipped cream and a cookie straw.
Smoothies, purees, and other stuff like grinding mustard seed into a powder to make my own "gourmet" mustard or fresh cumin seed for a chili. You have to use a glass blender pitcher and clean everything vigorously after cumin; it's a little caustic.
I use a blender to puree babies, so I guess I should select "baby food."

@JoJoe86 "Months ongoing"?? Bulk must have been a pallet or truckload. even at half a can a day, you are well past a case of 24 cans.
@JoJoe86 Since bitch is a dog term, I suppose it would be more accurate to say "That picky Dam cat .."
Blender = smoothies and blended drinks
Ninja and/or food processor = every thing else.

Milkshakes. Yum.

@MsELizardBeth Isn't that just a bigger mudslide?
@MsELizardBeth
@SSteve it's a drunker mudslide
protein shake
Oreo cookie crumbs. Don't judge me.
@katbyter cheaper than buying them on their own.
I use a blender once a year.. To make my famous Christmas frog nog (to equalize my Aunt Bertha's lame green bean caserole).
@unkabob Leak frog?
@SSteve ... Humm.. That sounds tasty, got the recipe..?
@unkabob crunchy frog nog?
@nadroj .. not so crunchy (it's pureed you know) but it do have a after whang..
Smoothies, Crepes, and Hummus mostly, but occasionally soups and in a pinch its also my coffee grinder.
Nut butters, because you listed it. And it made me chuckle in a 12 year old boy way.
Blender? I own one I have only used once… enough said...
I have the awesome Breville Ikon from Woot. It's mostly for milkshakes and ice cream bases with an occasional smoothie.
