The day before Mother's Day, I came across a great site for making your own condiments and more.
Carolyn and Josh have a site called Homesteading Family. I started with the mayo, salad dressings, mustard, ketchup is the big one , HFCS. They have so, so many tips. You can get rid of all your bad fats. Everything was easy and well explained more important tasted great!
(inappropriate Italian accent) You make-a me laugh! But, seriously, it is very very difficult to
find dressings, marinades and other foods that are made without the bad actor oils.
There must be a healthy sesame seed oil ! It's ancient. My healthy butcher, Primal Supply, has closed.
Could you re-post your favored local sources for fresh not frozen local meat and accoutrement suppliers, once again? I don't want to be judge and jury at the market. I wish there was a grocer that looked out for us, vetting their store to help eliminate such obviously harmful ingredients, so we can buy food stuffs with confidence. I don't always want to make my own. (But I have to, I make a bunch for later use). I like Jennifer's recipe.
The mayonnaise and ranch dressings were the hardest for me to get my family to give up. Duke's has a horrible ingredient list but tastes great. They weren't eating any version I either made or bought with any combination of olive or avocado oil but I finally found a macademia nut oil version that everybody loves! Basically just one egg, 1-2 Tbs lemon juice, 1/4 Tsp mustard powder, 1/4 Tsp salt, and 1 cup macademia nut oil. Blend with a stick blender and it keeps for about a week in the fridge.
I make my ranch dressing with this as well. Also, to make your homemade ranch dressing taste like Hidden Valley Ranch (I grew up in the midwest and we put this on everything) add umami mushroom powder to your dressing. It's the secret ingredient! I also use regular grassmilk with buttermilk powder so I don't have to buy buttermilk only to throw away most of the bottle since I only use it for ranch. It has the added benefit of making a thicker version of dressing.
As for fries, yes make your own! We make the kids homemade grassfed burgers with homemade fries in lard at least once per week. They haven't given up the bun (yet) but it's still much better than anything we would get from a fast food place. Its also quite quick and easy to make.
Great piece as usual. I agree wholeheartedly: it’s not JUST the carbs. That’s almost become the smokescreen today.
BTW, thanks for the mention!

Definitely interested in getting the good fat bad fat test.

If you don’t mind ordering your beef on line this is a regenerative farmer who I found through the Beef Initiative.

I recently made my own mayo without the egg and it does taste great, similar to your recipe.
