Homemade Garlic Aioli ~ A "first time" Experience

I have borrowed many cookbooks from the library, in search for a good "burger sauce" recipe. In the process, I decided on one recipe to make homemade aioli for the very first time ever.

I used yolks from our ladies (fresh of course), and used garlic that we grew in the garden.

The recipe called for "vegetable oil" but I only had organic canola, olive oil, and a few others. I decided on canola.

Not calorie free obviously, but homemade and fresh. Boy it was delicious on burgers we grilled with mushrooms, onions and swiss cheese. So good!

I'm still on the hunt for a different burger recipe. We once visited a restaurant (many years ago), that had a sauce they called Mama Mia sauce (house made). We are still looking for a sauce similar to that taste, but glad I gave the library some business and was motivated to make the garlic aioli.

The cookbook the recipe is from (photo above). There are many different aioli recipes by the way. It's basically homemade mayonnaise, with garlic added. I love recipes, and kitchen appliance/gadget reviews from America's Test Kitchen. I may have to try more sauce recipes from this cookbook.

I am very thankful for the library and being able to borrow books.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

The early morning weather here has been downright chilly. One morning it was 42 degrees. Flower beds have been weeded. The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden. I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors. They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online? Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day. I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day. Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest). We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb. I have not found a way to "opt" out either. If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share. If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha! You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays. I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing. Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog. Weird things are happening. Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords. Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer. Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
