I reviewed five kinds of canned chili from the supermarket to find the best-tasting option. The meat-free version of Amy's chili was tasty, but Campbell's Chunky chili mac was my favorite.

A blender with a function that automatically senses what's inside the blender and perfectly blends it with the push of a button? Color me intrigued. As my trusty Ninja blender looked on forlornly, I unboxed the Nutribullet blender.
