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!
