I owe it Aoili to you

Oh how I love a little garlic mayo spread on my sandwich,
or my burger or my fries, or my chips, or on everything.

Let's begin with a little food history lesson. The word Aoili comes from the Provencal word for garlic which is Ahl and the Latin word for Oli which is oil. Aoili is a traditional Provencal sauce that is made with garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and egg yolks (often the egg yolks are left out due to modern mayo use).

Without further ado, I bring you my twist on Aoili

3 Tbsp mayo -I use this instead of egg yolks since mayo has yolks
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
Dash of salt and pepper
Dash of smoked paprika

Mix all ingredients well and sprinkle with paprika. Store in fridge and use it on everything! I haven't tried it on pizza...YET, but it's just a matter of time.

How momma got her (blog) groove back!

 Yeah, I've taken a long blog sabbatical. But, it is time to get back at it. Let's face it being a mom is hard work and being a first-time mom is even harder. So, if baby boy goes to bed before midnight haha I'll use my precious spare time to pour a glass sit back and whine  a bit!

Whip it Whip it good

Coconut whipped cream It's so good, it only requires 3 ingredients, it's vegan and has none of that artificial garbage. Yes, the can is upside down and yes it is necessary. It probably wasn't necessary to take a picture of it upside down, but it's funny so there! 1 can of full fat coconut milk, chill in fridge overnight 2 tsp sugar  1/2 tsp vanilla Put your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 5 minutes. Open coconut milk upside down, pour out the liquid and save for another use. Scoop out the cream and add to chilled bowl. Whip with electric mixers or a Kitchenaid mixer with paddle attachment. Add sugar and vanilla. Continue to whip until light and fluffy. Use this like cool whip, I even used it to make a layered oreo dessert it was delish!

Peach-BBQ Lil' Smokies 2-14 oz package of Lil' Smokies cocktail sausages 1-16 oz jar of Peach Preserves 1-16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce Put all ingredients into a crockpot, stir and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.  Serves 12-15, I would double for larger crowds.
