You guys. I have to make a PSA.
If doing the Whole30 challenge, you must make the homemade mayo from the Whole30 website.
It’s not the mayo you’re used to – it’s much creamier, milder, and can very easily be made into different sauces and dressings!
Before I even started Whole30, my friend Emily insisted that I made sure to make this mayo. My first time around was a complete failure because I used extra virgin olive oil (later seeing that that’s a no-no). It was disgusting.
BUT – when made correctly – it’s a game changer.
I used it in this bang bang shrimp, which you can find the recipe for here.

Do you ever make usually-store bought food(s) from scratch?
I’ve tried make whole30/paleo mayo twice - and have failed both times! But now seeing that you can’t use EVOO… that might have been the issue for us! I’ll have to try again!
I’m not sure this counts, but I’ve been loving making veggie burgers from scratch! I made a batch of black bean burgers and put them in the freezer for easy dinners and weekend lunches.
I love the idea of making foods from scratch, but then I think about buying the ingredients and the extra time it will take and I just end up buying the healthiest version of it from the store. I hope that doesn’t make me sound super lazy…haha
Just a heads up that the recipe link isn’t working because the domain you’re linking to is expired!
oh no, you’re right! such a bummer…will try to find the recipe or something similar elsewhere…
Are you enjoying Whole 30? There are so many people doing it right now, I’m curios to try it. What has been your favorite thing to eat so far?
Yes, I really am! Obviously some days are easier than others, but for the most part it’s easy because the food is delicious. I’ve been loving my breakfasts of eggs with avocado and/or sweet potato, as well as this recipe and the chili I posted recently
I don’t try to recreate too many store bought things, but I’ve seen a few pinterest recipes for homemade ketchup that I’m curious to try.
I’ve seen that too! I actually got the ingredients to make it, but haven’t yet…
