Crazy lady
That's how I feel right now. Crazy. Lets see, school started for the kids. It's been one week for the older kid, and two days for the youngest. I'm ready for summer vacation already. I'm volunteering at their school, and today I packed a paleo lunch of chicken salad and oranges. I go and get myself in trouble with a staff member, really, I have no clue what happened but chick had it out for me. I got kicked out of the library. But.. I turned to corner to see the principal who's got my back. Holla. You got to know the right people! Volunteer people!! It's worth it!! So I might be sparse, but I'll be around and trying to update when I can. Oh!!!! Oh!!! You need to RUN to the store and buy Against All Grain cookbook. Everything I've made (like 4 things so far) have been SO delish. Kids are loving them too!!!

Don't mind me, here is some Mayo!
Ignore my posts below about whole30. Going to be frank here, I wasn't "set up" to do it right now, I set myself up to "fail". Fail is a harsh word I think, considering most of the food I eat is Whole30 approved. So why was it so hard to commit to another 30 days of doing it? I guess I was cutting myself some slack. I started paleo and Whole30 in April, it's Aug, so that's what? 4 months? I was about to do my third Whole30, that's a lot. That would have been about a month off. I don't need to prove to myself that I can do it. I can. I was doing it for support, turns out, I can support others while not doing it. Crazy idea. I've helped about five people I know personally do Whole30, it's amazing! I have people asking me for help with Paleo. Also amazing and the reason behind this post.
My BFF just did a Whole30, and never ate the whole30 approved mayo. Crazy. I ate it all.the.time. Yesterday she texted me and needed talked through how to make it. She succeeded and posted about it on FaceBook. Others asked her for the recipe and she led them to me. So here is what I told her:
Mayo:
1/4 cup of Light TASTING olive oil
Splash of Apple cider vinegar (little less then a capful)
Pinch of salt
1 egg
Process in food processor or blender
While it is running SLOWLY add another cup of the oil.
It takes about 10 mins, it will combine, if not, you poured too fast.
Sometimes I add garlic, dill and parsley for a garlic mayo. You could add chipotle, whatever!
