Homemade Mayo

I'm not a huge mayo fan so it took me a long time to actually start making mayo, but now that I do I typically have a batch in the fridge! This chicken salad is reason enough to make your own mayo.

The original mayo recipe comes from Paleo Comfort Foods - a cookbook and blog I love.

1 large egg, room temperature
juice from 1 lemon
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 cup light olive oil
1/2 cup garlic infused avocado oil (I find this at the international market in Itaewon) 

I use my Vitamix to make this, but you can also use a food processor.  When using the vitamix I just keep it on low.

Combine egg, lemon juice and mustard until frothy.
Drizzle the oil in SLOWLY.....I'm talking like a teaspoon at a time.
DO NOT RUSH.
That's it.
Seriously.
Put it in a plastic container and stick in the fridge. 
I keep it for about a week if it last that long.


You can mix up the flavor by adding different types of infused avocado oils, or just toss in different spices! 
Once you make your own mayo you will never go back.  ;)

Herb Italian Vinaigrette

I got this recipe many, many years ago when I lived in Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas.  We had this A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. little cooking club going on.  I only had to cook 1 time a week, but when I cooked I cooked for 5 families and I delivered their meals to them by 5:30PM each Monday.  The rest of the week Tuesday - Friday we had some of the best meals ever delivered to our house by 5:30PM.  Our cooking club was so good & competitive that we all started getting fat and had to ban desserts!  I left that post with my recipe binder & my hips a little bit thicker.  This recipe for Herb Italian Vinaigrette has been a staple in our house ever since.   I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.  OH, and it is Whole 30 compliant!  Enjoy!  :o)

1/2 cup olive oil
4 TBL red wine vinegar
2 clove minced garlic
2 TBL chopped oregano
1 1/2 TBL chopped rosemary
2 tsp spicy brown mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Mix it up!  Will keep in the fridge for about a week.

Basil Vinaigrette - OMG!

Have you ever read the labels on salad dressing?
HOLY NOT GOOD for you.
I cannot believe all the stuff I can't pronounce in almost every bottle of salad dressing in my fridge!
And I thought I was being good!
AND, some sort of sugar is in EVERY.SINGLE.ONE.

The only problem with this dressing is that it cuts into my basil production and not as many BLM's will be brewing. That cannot happen.
(Must buy more basil plants!)
Picture
1 large garlic clove
32 basil leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 TSP white balsamic vinegar
a couple of shakes of crushed red pepper
a pinch of salt
a few twist of freshly ground pepper

Put all ingredients in a food processor & process!!

You now have an awesome salad dressing!!

You're welcome.

    Hi, I'm Trish, the writer, creator and photographer of this blog.  I started this blog for 2 reasons, 1 - When I found out we were moving to Korea back in 2008 I was a little freaked out and started scouring the internet for information on Korea. At that time there wasn't much out there so I am doing my part in helping families across the world not be so freaked out when it comes time to move to Korea.  The 2nd reason I started this blog was to help stay connected to family members back in the states.  Today it is so much more that.
    I hope you enjoy our journey.

    Are you moving to Korea?  Do you have questions, concerns?  Are you freaking out?   Freak out no further -  click the button to ask a question.  I'll do my best to answer open and honestly.
    Moving to Korea?
