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.

Oh that sounds good and is right up my alley. Anything garlic! I like it on a deli sandwich as well.

That sounds delicious. We had the best burgers the other night in Hill City, SD. We rarely eat out but it was dinner time so we went to a little cafe, a Mom & Pop type place. I don't know what they did to those burgers and fries but they were delicious. The fries had a homemade seasoning on them that was apparently a "state secret" because they wouldn't tell me what it was. Ha! Ha!
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy

Debby/From My Shasta Home, yes, and I bet it would be great on a breakfast burrito or wrap too. Yum.

Betsy, those are the best places to find too. We have had the same thing happen while on vacation. Love those kinds of places.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
