Paleo Mayo - Success!! My day of food prep & savings :)

I never seem to have good luck when it comes to trying out new paleo creations!  But today I attempted paleo mayo and SUCCESS!!!  It's good to keep on hand even if you aren't doing paleo- ideally, your mayo should be like this anyway (check out the ingredients in the jar that's in your fridge- yikes!)


I followed the recipe from 'The Clothes Make The Girl' which is a great resource for all things paleo!  Check it out at http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/2010/06/03/the-secret-to-homemade-mayo-patience/  


I let my egg sit out while I ran to the store to grab the lemon- make sure that you leave it at room temperature!  Everything else was stuff that I had at home...  here is the finished product!










As far as prep- I just seasoned some turkey & chicken breasts, and Pat is cooking them on the smoker!  I thought I would try something different for meat prep :)  It will be perfect for salads, to go with egg's, or just for snacking!  I can't wait until it's done!  I also went ahead and cut up the fruits & veggie's- if they are ready to go, I'm much more likely to eat them!


A savings tip- Walmart price matches!  I don't get very much of my produce there, but if I can find a good deal I will definitely check it out!  You probably already knew this- I did, but I never took advantage of it.  I used to do lots of coupon's, but I honestly haven't had the time or the desire to make the time lately.  I had a lady in front of me in Walmart last week who saved on almost everything in her cart, so I decided to check it out today.  I didn't get much, but the carton's of strawberries were on sale for 99 cents at a local store, and avocado's were 69 cents. (compared to the regular price of almost $3 for the strawberries & $1 each avocado)  If you're trying to save money, check out your local ad's before going to Walmart!
