I am sure I could make pesto, salsa, hummus, etc. I have always just used a knife, but the food processor could come in handy for larger batches. I do not know if that is enough to justify a separate machine. The one thing I know the food processor does that the Vitamix does not is slice food. (DH rolled his eyes when I said we could grind rice to make our own rice cereal for the baby rather than buying it.) Part of my thinks I should get the dry container if I buy the Vitamix since it would be 30% off if bought together, but I just don't know if I would use it. I like the idea of grinding my own grains and making nut butters, but I am not sure I would ever really do that. The Vitamix makes ice cream, but I have an ice cream machine we received as a wedding gift. I don't make many of those anymore, but maybe I would do it more often (especially smoothies) if I were not constrained by my current underpowered blender. The Vitamix would make great smoothies and frozen cocktails. Either would be fine for making baby food. I wonder if it is silly to buy both since there seems to be partial, although not complete, overlap in machine capabilities. I am tempted to buy both the Vitamix and Cuisinart (either 12 or 16 cup) since I could get them for 30% off if I buy both. WS is having a sale through Sunday where you get 10-30% off your order depending on how much you spend. My MIL raves about her 16 cup Cuisinart from Williams Sonoma, so I went to the website to have a look. I recently started looking for a larger and more powerful food processor to make baby food.
