Susan W Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I watched the video Ann posted and went and bought a hand blender. I am going to make my own mayo. Problem solved! Thanks everyone!! Laura, so much fun to make your own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyMc Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 For some reason, in my preparations, Mayo is top of my list as "must have mayo"-LOL. I've not made my own so thanks for the video and tips on this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xandra Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I do kind of wish she had not compared the apple cider vinegar version to Miracle Whip. It's good, but it's NOT Miracle Whip. ~sigh~ it's cider vinegar flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good, but it's NOT Miracle Whip. ~sigh~ it's cider vinegar flavor. I totally agree. I do prefer lemon juice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xandra Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I love the mayo I made with my Immersion blender but don't know what ton use it on. What do you use it i on? I make tuna salad, egg salad, shrimp salad, spread it on burgers or on deli meat for roll ups, make Well Fed's special sauce for Egg Foo Yong or Moroccan dipping sauce for chicken...

Susan W Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yup..I do all the things Xandra does plus I coat fish, lamb or skinless boneless chicken or pork tenderloin before grilling or roasting. I also make the fabulous avocado/mayo sauce from well fed. Makes a great dressing for taco salads or dipping any meat in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I eat it off a spoon and my 20 month old son loves it too! He gets really excited when I get ready to make mayo... he grabs his foot stool so he can see what Mommy is doing and makes a sound like the blender when it runs--- Mmmmm, Mmmmm and he always has to have a taste or two when the mayo is done. I always do a taste test at the end to make sure it is ok, and he has to as well. He is my little chef in training! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Spin I was not going to admit my "licking the spatula" behavior. Before I discovered I could make it right in the jar I keep it in, I got a lot more on that spatula. Now it's just what gets stuck in the bottom of my immersion blender. Xandra knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about I'll bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyS Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Thanks for this thread. I watched the video and I'm looking forward to making homemade mayo and other dressings now. This looks like fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Here's my favorite recipe/method. She mentions "if you like the Miracle Whip tang, this will be right up your alley". It calls for raw honey, so you'd have to leave that out during your W30. I use extra light olive oil instead of grapeseed and it turns out delicious. I just made homemade mayo for the first time in my life using this video as a guide, and it was so easy my nine year old did most of it! I can't believe I've been scared of making mayonnaise! It's completely easy and so cheap too. Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyS Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I have been really happy with my very simple Whole30 strategy - meats, salads, fruit, nuts. Like, super-duper REALLY happy. But now that I know that I'll be eating this way for the forseeable future, I'm eager to try out the cooking methods. I'm absolutely delighted, and (ahem) very thankful today.

AmyS Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I just made a blog post about making mayonnaise for the first time! Usually my blog is about what it's like to come out as a lesbian later in life. But I take regular detours for food posts. Here's one: http://makingspacethejourneyout.wordpress.com/2012/11/22/its-a-bird-its-a-plane-its-homemade-mayonnaise/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
