VLOG | How To: Homemade Mayonnaise

Tuesday, September 3, 2013


Today I have a how-to/recipe for you, and it comes in the form of a video! My mom makes the best homemade mayonnaise (and Paleo ranch dressing, too...oh my goodness) from Well Fed, and now that I'm on my own again, I have to make it myself. I thought I'd show you how to do it, too! Mayo Party. Let's do it.



This batch wasn't as thick and creamy as it usually is, maybe because I used a mixer. Usually we make it in a blender, but for some reason, our blender is lost somewhere between Minnesota and Virginia. I love my mixer, but I'll probably continue to make mayo in the blender as soon as we get a new one.

Good luck! Happy cooking? I need a catch phrase or something.

PS I've started a YouTube channel where I hope to post more kitchen how-to video as well as some hair and maybe makeup tutorials. Any other ideas? You can subscribe here.

PPS That dress is c/o Jigsaw and can be found here!

  1. Oh, wow! I always imagined mayo being a lot harder to make. I find we can never go through store bought mayo before its expiry date, so this would be a great (and healthier) alternative!

  2. well this debunks everything I've ever learned and tried about making mayo!! I always stream in the oil...like ALL of it. I've never put 1/4 cup in from the getgo, but that would defintely make it easier. Oh, and it usually takes me like 30 minutes to make mine. Again, with all the streaming--and i'm talking like, dots of oil at a time! it comes out the right way but it's a pain in the ASS to make! And i usually do it in my mixer! :)

  5. You are brave! I've always wanted to recipe blogs but am afraid of how dumb I'll sound on video. This video was great and you were adorable.

    1. Oh thank you! My voice always sounds really weird when I hear it, though!

  6. First, judging by your mixer, you lost a fabulous blender and that nearly makes me cry. I love the red, mine is black and I've had it for nearly twenty years. I think often about having it pimped out with a custom paint job. I also want to buy myself one of the new glass bowls, those are beautiful. Two, like your mom, I make mayo in a blender, a Vitamix to be exact, and it takes exactly twenty seconds! Then I stir some fresh mayo into a bowl of shredded chicken and when noone is looking I splash the whole thing with maple syrup and stir like a demon before any one catches my secret ingredient! Finally, love your new kitchen! So pretty!

    I hope more people make their own mayo after seeing your video. So many unnecessary ingredients in store bought mayos.

    1. I love my mixer! We had just a pretty regular, run-of-the-mill blender, but instead of buying another, we're just going to register for a new one!

      Your chicken salad sounds amazing!
