This past Friday, totally on a whim, I entered my mayonnaise videoblog from this past March in the Natural News Video Recipe Contest. I chose that one to enter in the contest because – even though not my best vlog by a long shot as I was still rather uncomfortable in front of the camera – it is a short video and also because mayo is a very popular, mainstream food that you really need to make yourself at home to get a quality product for a reasonable cost.
My primary goal in entering this contest was to introduce a lot of new health conscious folks who read Natural News to REAL FOOD and how to properly prepare it.
I’ve checked through most of the other video recipe entries and it seems that mine is the only one that uses any animal foods whatsoever (pastured eggs)! Many of the Natural News readers are vegan or raw vegan which leaves my recipe at a big disadvantage from the get go for that reason.
Can you help me out? Please take a moment and go over to Natural News and vote for my Mayo videoblog!
Thanks so much and I can’t wait to post my vlog for this week .. it’s in response to a number of emails I’ve received lately.

how long does a batch of mayo last ?
I'm making your mayo for the firs time today. Have made homemade mayo in the past, so am psyched to try yours. Thanks for all your great info Sarah. – Alix of Mednauseam Blog
Hi Alina, sunflower oil is what I use as I don't eat any processed foods so a little omega 6 fats are ok for me. You can also use olive oil but this makes the mayo stronger tasting. 1/2 sunflower and 1/2 olive oil is also an option.
Hi Sarah! I went on over and voted for your mayo video! I loved that video, and I'm really really enjoying your videos each week. You've got my interest piqued in what your video will be about this week!! 🙂
Cheers,
Shannon
I have voted for your video as well. Good luck!
Do you use sunflower or safflower oil in you video?
Thank you.
Lora, thank you for voting for me and enjoy the fabulous homemade mayo!
I am really excited as this competition is exposing a whole new community of health conscious folks to the truths of Dr. Weston A. Price. Many of these folks are vegan or vegetarian and need to wake up about the way they are eating before their health goes into serious decline (like major teeth issues is usually the first problem).
I'm glad you posted that you needed votes, my husband and I watched this video last week when he was looking for a better mayo recipe. He followed your instructions and used safflower (instead of olive oil) and it turned out great! Thanks!
I should add that if you watch the mayo vlog, I flub in the middle and say that people get too many omega 3's in their diet .. I correct my misspeak later in the video to say omega 6.
