I do my mayo with the immersion blender, but I don’t have to drizzle it. I use the whole egg, some mustard, salt, vinegar or lemon. Put all this is a long tall recipient(usually comes with the immersion blender), then pour the oil on top so that is double the volume of all the other ingredients. Then gently lower the immersion blender (turned off) and get it to the bottom. Only then I start it on turbo and keep it there without moving for a few seconds, until I see that mayo is starting to form on the bottom. Then I gently and slowly go up and down with the blender stick, first not all the way, until I get more and more of the oil incorporated. After all is smooth, if I want it to be thicker, I add more oil. If I want it runnier, I add some sparkling water. It takes a minute in total I think. And no need to slowly drizzle. You can also substitute the egg with same volume of milk, or aquafaba(water from canned or self boiled and cooled chickpeas)
I do this way also. I found a mason jar in my pantry, tall and 2 cup markings on the side. I put oil in first to measure then add everything else. Works perfectly and no dishes! When I first weaned my family off a lifetime of Best Foods/Hellmans I added a touch of sugar, a little onion powder, and used rice vinegar for the acid. I use Azures avocado oil and turns out well!
That's good to know! I'm gonna make mayo for dressing this week for the first time and I hate trying to get stuff like out of the bottom of the blender. I feel like I waste a lot simply because I can't get what's around the blade out.
Lots of ideas on making Mayo. I liked the option of no egg as I am not to eat raw. This is why I have never made it. I should have looked for substitutes for the egg. Chelsie, you are so talented and have a lot of helpful subscribers too. I was excited to get a nice look at your newly decorated family room. I just love the furniture, the wood tones, the coffe table is super. Where did you get that. It has storage drawers also. Wow. Really nice. Back to the video, yes to catching up on fresh salads and your restock hauls are always fun. Thanks .
Chelsea, Since changing the color of your cabinets and furniture the entire main area has lightened up dramatically. It’s so beautiful and inviting. You have made beautiful and impactful choices! Way to go girlfriend!👏🏼
As you were moving your plants around, I was showing my husband how beautiful your living room is. I just love your house! You mentioned someone commenting recently about doing a big Costco haul after the pantry challenge and asking how that saved you any money. Well, you still saved a lot of money because the things you restocked on were not canned foods or produce that most people have to buy weekly at the store. Your hard work growing and preserving food saves you lots I'm sure! I truly admire you!
You saved money from impulse buying. I can run into Costco or Walmart for 3 or 4 items and walk out with a cart full. This happens way more often than not.
It’s not super frugal but we keep Mayo packets from the wholesale restaurant store. If you run out of home made Mayo you can just use a couple of those without starting and needing to use a large container. Also if we take sandwiches fishing it’s nice to have the option of self contained Mayo and not soggy bread.
Someone commented that one of the plants may be a peace lily. Lillies are extremely toxic to cats and can cause kidney failure very quickly if they chew on it. This includes the pollen from the flowers. Keep an eye on the kitties to make sure they don’t go near them and keep it out of reach.
chelsea make mayo with whole egg in a jar to fit your stick blender put in all ingredients vinegar mustard s and p and if you add 2 tablespoons of a ferment will last month in the fridge,,,,,,put in all oil at once stick to the bottom of jar and blend lift after emulsification begins its much easier and the mayo is already in the jar
It's absolutely fascinating watching North Americans show food hauls, because of the size of the food packages! I don't know anywhere here in Sweden where you could buy ketchup that big!
Yes, I quit trying to keep my house spotless it's a blessing at a time like this to put all that on the back burner and enjoy this time with my family.❤❤❤
I LOVE olives! So, I asked the olive guy at the market if I could buy a small barrel. He looked at me kinda strange, but I got a great deal!! Greek salad is our go to, so no scrimping on the olives now!
Your home, your ceiling, living room, and kitchen are absolutely stunning. WOW! God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻
Where did you get that coffee table that rises up to be more of a desk? It's beautiful! I also am finding myself wanting to beautify my spaces more now that I don't have Barbies and blocks all over the floor every year.
What a good haul! If you use a stick blender for mayonnaise, you don't have to drizzle the oil. You can put everything in a jar, blend it and then just pop a lid on. No need to clean the blender.
Just a tip in case you haven't heard of this mayo method... put 3 whole eggs and 3 cups oil in a wide mouth quart jar (plus lemon juice, salt etc. to flavor) then use an emersion blender at the very bottom till emulsified... then slowly rock the blender from side to side allowing the oil and eggs to continue to blend as you rise towards the top... you'll get a good mayonnaise every time. 😊 Thank you for another great video❤
I have absolutely love the contents of your videos. The yellow dish towels are going to look amazing in your kitchen. Very pretty good choice. And yes, create a beautiful space, it’s important for the soul.
That desk/coffee table is neat! Man I wish I had a Costco close to me, that butter price is an absolute deal! My local grocery store sells butter for $8-9 each! Your mayo looks great, I make mine a bit different but we absolutely love it. Really looking forward to seeing your pantry update and post pantry challenge chat.
One of your plants appears to be a corn plant. The one that did not react to the cold. They can actually grow to be quite large so if you buy a new pot I would suggest a bigger pot.
Switch the pots! The white for the one on top of the cabinet. Right now, from the angle we saw it from, the plant and the pot just blend in. If you put th vining plant in the white pot it should help it pop 😊
I love the light pouring into your living room and the new furniture. So light, bright and cheery! I must have missed it but did you buy a ton of fresh fruits and veggies from Costco? I am sure you did.
I made homemade ketchup last summer. I threw everything in my Nesco roaster with all of the ingredients and simmered for 12 hrs or so. It tastes just delicious.
I realize you have a large family and bought a lot of clothing and household items too but I still choked when you said the total and I had to back up and watch again to make sure I heard correctly. 😮
If you boil your eggs for 60 seconds which reduces bacteria in the raw egg, your mayo will last longer. I use raw egg in my Caesar salad dressing and use this method as per my very old recipe and have kept the dressing in a jar in the fridge for a couple weeks.
I've been waiting on this haul. I can't wait to hear yours and Dans evaluation of the challenge. I've really enjoyed this pantry challenge and all that I've learned from others like you Chelsea. Ty.
The living room looks great. Please check and make sure your plants are cat friendly. I had a cat that was always chewing my plants. He got so sick we nearly lost him. Who knew. I thought they wouldn't chew it if it was bad for them.
Have you ever made fermented mayo with the juice of fermented sauerkraut? Most people use the juice of store bought sauerkraut. The mayo does not take on the flavor of the kraut but the mayo will last in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks❤
I make my own mayonnaise. 1tsp Dijon mustard to each egg yolk. Salt & Pepper. Hand whisk the oil in very slowly with a fork. Finish off with 1 tbsp red wine vinegar right at the end to stop the action. (Note no lemon juice 😁)
Your hall looked great. I see you got 2 jars of vanilla. You need to make your own. Very easy and goes a long way a much stronger and better than any store bought.
New to your channel I'm really enjoying it! I love that your in BC.We are on Vancouver Island. Also, Costco is my favorite place to shop. That Cherry berry frozen fruit is my favorite!
Your living room is so gorgeous! I love it. Maybe consider a more vividly colored plant pot, possibly a taller plant in it, on your hearth? I love house plants. I bought a cheap tiny fiddle leaf fig at trader Joe's years ago and it got so big that I've cut it and propagated new stems from it. it's a very easy plant to grow and looks very striking. It gets tall.
Was watching one of your videos the other night and you happened to mention a few of your cookbooks were on Amazon. I quickly switched to Amazon and they had 5 left, now 4🤗 I got mine yesterday!!🇺🇸😎
I love black olives as does my 2 year old granddaughter. She eats them every day with her lunch, usually with houmous on the side. Try marinating them in a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and mixed herbs. Works well with green olives too.
When you use light olive oil for the homemade mayo you don't taste the olive oil, but the avocado oil should work too!, when I first made it I did the same thing, too strong with regular olive oil. Wondering if you like to grow paprika to make your own? I've been thinking of growing things like that as well, could also grow red pepper spice too! Nancy from nebraska
Good job. I only did the pantry challenge for about 5-6 weeks although I continued with my meat supply for the two months. It was satisfying going through my stores. It was the produce that got me too.
The Spath plant is VERY sensitive to cold/cool weather and they don't like a lot of heat. The spathiphyllium (also commonly known as a closet plant or peace lily) does not like direst sunlight. Put in a darker area of your room. They will let you know when they need water as their leaves will droop. I'm a florist and this is a staple that we carry in our shop. As you re-pot them into larger containers they continue to grow and make lovely lush full plants. When re-potting, cut the bottom 1/3 of the dirt and root ball, give the remaining roots a little massage and add more soil to fill new container. Hint....Epsom salt makes a wonderful fertilizer for house plants. Mix 2 tablespoons per quart of water.
Nice haul loved it. You made me smile so hard haaa with the rearange the plants. I do exactly the same thing. The living room is so cozy and beautiful. loved this hugs
You’re right! Ketchup can be super time consuming to make and can. A few years back I found a recipe at Reformation Acres and it is a game changer. You cook your tomatoes, onions, and garlic in a crock pot to draw out the liquid. Then proceed with the recipe. You don’t have to spend hours cooking it down. I then can the “juice” I from the cooking process and use it in chili or soup. Amazing!
@@LittleMountainRanch I'm so happy to see this reply! I can't wait for the video! Thanks for all you do. I've learned a lot of great recipes and so much more from your videos!
I absolutely love your living room colors, beautiful. So excited to try the homemade mayonnaise. There's only me, so I don't want to waste what I make. What is combucha (probably not spelt right).
I'm not a decorator and also recently thinking of a more pleasant environment in my living areas, but I had this immediate reaction, when you put the new plant on the end of the mantle (shelf above fireplace in case the word is different): right plant, wrong pot, and that's what you came around to that shortly after. Have a great evening!
