 Vinegar is one of those often overlooked ingredients in our kitchen cupboards. Simple white vinegar is a staple in households for pickling, on top of fish & chips, or for all-natural household cleaning.
But vinegar is so much more than the distilled jug we find in our kitchen. Simply mix a great vinegar with a great oil and you have a simply fabulous salad dressing. Try making your own flavoured vinegars by infusing bottles of vinegar with your favourite herbs -- great for flavouring fish, salads and poultry. Herbs look just wonderful in a tall elegant bottle of vinegar and make the perfect hostess gift.
This month we feature the KitchenAid immersion blender -- great not only for mixing up your own salad dressings and vinaigrettes, but perfect for whipping up smoothies as the kids head out the door and back to school!
September is an action packed month in the Hills of Headwaters. Fall fairs, art festivals and even a Parade of Horses on Broadway! We hope you’ve had a wonderful summer and we look forward to seeing you in the store as the calendar page turns to September!

One of the most convenient tools you can have in your kitchen, the KitchenAid immersion blender is more convenient, easier to clean and takes up less room than food processors, stand mixers or full size blenders.

With a sleek design and a series of attachments including blending wand, whisk, chopper and a 3-cup blending beaker, this blender is perfect for whipping up soups and smoothies. The whisk attachment and 4-piece chopper allows you to mix, fluff and chop virtually anything you please!
Great for Soups or Mixing Drinks
The KitchenAid immersion blender comes in black, red or white, and features a powerful motor, one-touch power button, comfort grip motor body, simple ejector buttons, and a 5-foot round power cord for ease of use. The long shaft on the blender wand allows you to immerse to a depth of 8” which is a perfect length for pureeing soups, or mixing drinks.
