Mayo

 With the huge increase in the cost of  Mayo.....I have decided to give homemade Mayo a try.  I simply cannot pay ten dollars for a jar of Mayo!!!

Mayo
1 egg
1 c. avocado oil
2 t. lemon juice
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. mustard
Place ingredients in a wide mouth jar.  Blend with an immersion blender until thick and turns to mayo.  Chill.

Instant Pot Potatoes and Carrots

 Yesterday was Dale's birthday and we got together for lunch.  I made these and wanted to keep track of my recipe for future reference.  

Instant Pot Potatoes and Carrots 
2-3 T. olive oil
1 onion cut in chunks
1 1/2 lbs. mini carrots
4 cloves of garlic
10 yukon gold potatoes, cut in 1 inch chunks
2 c. water or broth 
1/2 c. fresh chives and parsley, finely chopped
4 T. butter
salt and pepper
Place oil in instant pot on saute and add the onions.  When the onions are carmelized add the carrots and garlic.  Saute a few more minutes and turn off.  Add the potatoes, water and fresh herbs.  Cook on High for 5 minutes.  Natural release for 5 minutes and then quick release remaining pressure.  Drain most of the liquid off.  Top with butter and salt and pepper.   Serve.
