Ok ya'll, we are in the thick of the Whole30 over here! Day 12 over here, I am actually feeling really good, my clothes are fitting better, and I feel more calm. All good things!
Not gonna lie, Tuesday night I doula'd (did I just make up a word? was a doula....) for a friend, Wednesday night when it was bedtime I REALLY wanted some dessert. Some serious cravings. Part of Whole30 is to identify triggers, well I could tell that me being tired definitely made my sweet tooth come out. Good to know going forward.
What this post is really about is SAUCES and how awesome homemade sauces are. Seriously, I have been missing out. Homemade mayo- amazing. Homemade ranch- does not even compare to store bought, Chimmichurri....Red Pepper sauce, yep all amazing.
So, I'm going to share some of my favorite Whole30 approved sauces over the next few days!
Today we are going to go with Basic Mayo
It Starts With Food Basic Mayo:
1-1/4 cup of light olive oil
1 egg (room temp, this is important!)
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 to 1 lemon, juiced
Use an immersion blender (if you don't have one, get one, for real). Add all ingredients to a wide mouth 16oz ball jar. Make SURE your egg is room temp, to do it quickly place in warm water for a few minutes. Put your immersion blender in the bottom, turn on and in about 30 seconds you have delicious home made mayo!
If you want to change it up, add some garlic or onion powder, cilantro, jalepeno...there are a ton of options!
Tomorrow, come back for Ranch dressing!
