Avocado Mayonnaise

This is a current favorite!  We have had it with meatloaf, on top of burgers, and even in tuna salad.  I think it would be good on a lettuce salad too and plan to make another batch and try it soon.

This is from the GAPShelp e-mail list.

Avocado Mayonnaise
1/4 cup olive oil
around a Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 egg yolk
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 ripe avocado
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

I used a stick blender (immersion) in it's mixer cup.  I put all ingredients in the cup, inserted blender and blended until emulsified, smooth and creamy - it was very easy and fast!  Tom especially really loves this mayonnaise.

A nutritious snack

The kids really enjoyed this snack, full of good stuff but fun - kinda like pudding...

Green Banana pudding
1 whipped egg yolk
1/2 banana
1/2 avocado
a little ghee
Whip together the above (makes 1).  Top with chopped nuts, sprouted seeds, or dried coconut as desired.

Breakfast meatloaf

We made this recently and enjoyed it.

Breakfast meatloaf

2 pounds ground pork (beef or turkey would work too)
6 egg yolks
salt and pepper to taste
3 med carrots and 2 med onions, shredded or pureed
sausage seasoning mix

Mix well and bake at 350 for about an hour.

We also made these in cupcake tins and added an egg on top at the end.

Overdue update

We are doing quite well here.  Still doing GAPs, have added back in most items and considering ourselves done with intro for now.  I have yet to add in peanuts, but have done almonds and sunflower seeds and will be doing more this week.  We are only eating soaked and oven-dried nuts.  We are looking forward to our pizza recipe this week!

I did discover that egg whites are what causes my itchy face.  HUGE bummer as eggs are a large part of our diet.  I plan to not eat them for a while, then try adding just our home-grown egg whites to see if that makes a difference or not.  Need to do some research on what causes that allergy and how I can strengthen my body and digestion to be able to eat them.

I am also adding yogurt later this week as our first dairy since intro.  I hope to find some raw milk to make my own yogurt, cheese and kefir... need to make some calls this week.

Everyone is looking so good, less bloating and roundness, better complexions.  I am pleased, and they are all noticing and are happy about the improvements.  I feel some energy increasing and am having many more good days.
