How to Make Your Own Homemade Mayonnaise method

Making your own homemade mayonnaise is easy, fun and healthier than the store-bought market versions. market mayo is made with unhealthy canola or soybean oil, which causes numerous health problems. And it's loaded with risky chemicals, preservatives and Msg disguised as "natural flavorings or spices". Learn to make your own with olive oil and fresh eggs from pastured chickens for a healthy condiment. Make some now to use all summer on grilled burgers, sandwiches, and potato, chicken and tuna salads.

This method is from Sally Fallon's "Nourishing Traditions" cookbook and is made with whey. Whey is a valuable ingredient for all lacto-fermented foods-it increases the nutrients and adds enzymes. Adding whey to mayo allows it to keep for several months and it also becomes firmer over time. If you don't add whey, use the mayo up within 2 weeks.

Healthy Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe

1 pastured whole egg, at room temperature
1 egg yolk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon Dijon-type mustard
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon whey
¾ - 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
Generous pinch sea salt

In a food processor, put in the egg, egg yolk, mustard, lemon juice, whey and sea salt. Blend for 30 seconds.

Next, you'll want to use the attachment that allows you to add liquids by the drops. With the motor running, add the olive oil a little at a time to ensure it blends thoroughly.

Taste to see if you want more sea salt and lemon juice.

If you added the whey, set the mayonnaise on the counter, covered, for 7 hours, and then refrigerate. It needs this time to open the lacto-fermentation. It should keep for several months in the refrigerator. Without whey, use the mayonnaise up within 2 weeks.

How to Make Whey

1 quart best potential whole natural yoghurt

Use yogurt that has no sweeteners or fillers.

Line a strainer with cheese cloth or fine linen dish towel and place over a bowl. Pour the yogurt in, pull the corners of the cloth over the top and place a plate on top for a little weight. This helps express the liquid (whey) from the yogurt. Leave this out for 12-24 hours.

Tie the ends of the cloth to make a bag keeping the solids, which is now yogurt cheese. Hang it from a spoon laid over the top of a pitcher so more whey can drip out. When no more whey drips out, refrigerate the whey, and scrape the yogurt cheese out of the cloth and use it like cream cheese. You can also add your favorite herbs to make a spreadable cheese for crackers.

In the refrigerator, the whey will last 6 months and the yogurt cheese for 1 month.

Rosemary Herbal Mayonnaise

Rev up summertime chicken salad sandwiches or portabella mushroom burgers with an herbal mayo made with fresh Rosemary.

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
¾ cup homemade mayonnaise

Mix all the ingredients together and refrigerate.

Asparagus with Horseradish Sauce

2 lbs fresh asparagus
½ cup homemade mayonnaise
2-3 tablespoons freshly grated or ready horseradish
1 to 1 ½ tablespoons course or whole-grain mustard
1 large clove garlic, finely minced

Garnish with: lemon zest, lemon wedges, fresh parsley sprigs

Bring a pan of salted water to boil. Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus and cook in the boiling water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, and plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking. Cover and chill.

Horseradish Sauce: stir together homemade mayonnaise, horseradish, mustard and garlic. Cover and chill for about 30 minutes.

Serve on chilled asparagus and ornamentation with lemon zest, lemon wedges and fresh parsley sprigs.

5 Steps to salutary Living

As a pediatrician, I oftentimes counsel patients of all ages about cusine and exercise. While I am passionate about the topic of healthy living, I realize the need to be straightforward and brief in my initial advice. Over the years I have come up with my 5 easy rules for eating healthy. These guidelines are proper for all population beginning with school-aged children to adults. Most importantly, I stress these are healthy eating guidelines for population of all shapes and sizes. Overweight population tend to lose weight following the rules while underweight, 'dieting' teens and young adults tend to be less restrictive and learn how to eat more intuitively. In other words, the combination of eating healthy and exercising inevitably leads over time to a weight that is healthy for that individual person.

Here we go:

1) Eat morning meal - it's spectacular, to me how many population leave the house for school or work without anything in their stomach. Who lets their kids go to school hungry? Unfortunately, this is a huge problem. "I'm not hungry" and "I don't have adequate time" are two of the most common excuses. No more excuses! Studies have proven that eating anything before going to school leads to better test scores in morning classes. If you not eating breakfast, then start with something tomorrow. It can be cereal and milk or other former morning meal foods or even a slice of leftover pizza. If you can't stomach solid food, drink a slim-fast/ensure or other liquid meal supplement. This one convert will growth your metabolism and raise your glucose level giving you more energy and better concentration.

2) Eat 5 fruits/vegetables a day - You would not believe the shocked looks I get from patients with this one. 'Impossible' they say. But really, it's not too difficult. I personally love fruits and veggies and aim for myself to eat at least 3 fruit and 5 veggies a day. Some studies recommend that optimal cancer-fighting properties are not met until 11 or more servings a day are consumed. But I'm a realist, so let's start with five. Here's an example of a typical menu: morning meal - (remember you are eating this now) 4-6 oz of orange juice and a handful of blueberries (1). Lunch - carrot and celery sticks with hummus, peanut butter, ranch dressing etc (2) with a piece of fruit (3) in addition to other foods. Snack - grapes, watermelon chunks or yogurt smoothie made with frosty berries, pineapple or other fruit (4). Evening meal - side of vegetable such as green beans, broccoli, salad made with leafy lettuce, fresh spinach (not iceberg) (5-6). Be creative and flexible. Raw vegetables for Evening meal are fine. And remember, potatoes and ketchup don't count!

3) No calorie drinks! - this is a big one. Humans are mostly made up of water and that is what we should drink. I recommend a maximum of only 4-6 ounces of 100% fruit juice a day. Preferably not apple or grape juice which is positively only glorified sugar water with artificially added vitamin C. Also 2-3 cups (8ounces per cup) of low fat milk (skim or 1%) is recommended. Green tea or one cup of coffee a day for adults is ok. Then water. No soda, no fruit punch, no sports drinks and no energy drinks! You don't need them and they are full of sugar and chemicals.

4) One treat a day - this is probably the most leading rule. Since these rules outline how to eat for life, it is leading to treat yourself daily to one thing that may not be the most nutritious, but that you positively enjoy. That's right - eat a brownie, cake, French fries, or anything else you crave. But - you only get to choose one treat a day. So if you have potato chips for lunch, then no cookies for snack. French fries for dinner, than no milkshake. We all eat way too much junk food and that has to stop. Even if you are thin, saturated fat and sugar are not healthy and damage your body. Also - your treat has to be one serving size. This is the hard part. Look at the back of a box of chips and see that a serving size is about 12 chips. Count out 12 chips, close the bag and then eat your treat. Ice cream has a serving size of 1/2cup. Measure it out and you will be shocked at the amount. We eat too much junk.

5) practice daily - start with 30minutes. It can be anything that gets you attractive - walking the dog, playing surface with your kids, turning on some music and dancing in your living room. anything it takes. I can't stress adequate the significance of attractive for a healthy mind and body.

These 5 guidelines are just a start. In the following weeks, I will look at each topic in depth and give more exact advice. Until then, work on following the above rules and you will soon feel healthier.
