About Me

I'm just trying to get back to the basics. Fun, Food, Family and Nature. I want my family to respect nature, appreciate what they have and be as healthy as possible. No, we are not giving up our computers and televisions (I'm not crazy) but we are going to try to live healthier and do more for ourselves. We already hunt, fish, and do limited gardening (due to a lack of yard space). Now ... How can I push it further?

Home Made Mayo


Made my first jar of home made mayo last night. It's really good. I can't believe I've been spending all that money on store bought mayo that's filled with ???? all kinds of nastiness. When you add the apple cider vinegar or lemon juice just add a tsp. at a time, then taste it, I like mine tangy.

This is my updated version, I like it alot better than the first one I posted. So the first recipe got the boot :)


2 large egg yolks
1 Tbs. apple cider vinegar (with the mother)(lemon juice also works)
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/8 tsp. salt

Beat egg yolks (whip them up good) on low/medium speed in blender or food processor. SLOWLY drizzle olive oil into egg mixture while beating on medium speed making sure it's blending together well. When mayonnaise is finished add apple cider vinegar and salt and blend well. DONE. Store in refrigerator. Will keep for 1 week in refrigerator.
