You just gave me a great idea – making vegan sauces and dressings as a homemade gift! Thank you!

Great idea to share something a little unique during the holidays. I always get sucked into making things loaded with fat and sugar during the holidays. .-= Brian´s last blog ..Gluten Free Almond Toffee =-.

Jen,

Why didn’t I think of the thrift stores? Duh. Thanks for helping my poor little brain out. Katie

If you watch your local thrift stores I see the “salad dressing bottles from that wishbone *or whatever” kit” all the time. Should be able to snag a couple there. Also – I have been washing out my empty olive oil jars with the “little plastic stopper thing that helps it pour nice” and I’d been wondering what to use them for…….. this would be a fun idea.

thanks for the idea!

Esther,
I wouldn’t make homemade mayo or eat raw eggs using store eggs potentially from a factory farm…but farm-fresh, especially pasture raised eggs, are supposed to be totally safe to eat. There are lots of recipes, from power smoothies to Caesar dressing to mayo, that use raw eggs or egg yolks. If you’re really worried, there are directions out there to lightly pasteurize the egg somehow and still have it be runny like raw, but I’ve never taken that step. I feel really good that my mayo is EVOO and I know it’s totally healthy!
Great question, thank you – Katie

These are great ideas, thanks for posting them! What do you think about homemade mayonnaise? Are the better ingredients worth the risk of raw eggs? .-= Esther´s last blog ..Abundance =-.
