Want to take a very decisive step toward health?

Ditch those MSG, GMO-sweetened, rancid seed oil, additive-loaded dressings and sauces from the store and start making your own!

No bottled sauces or dressings compare to the flavor and quality of homemade salad dressings and sauces – even the organic brands.

Not only will you be doing your health a huge favor by taking this step, but you will be saving quite a bit of money too!

I demonstrate 8 recipes in the video below.

    Hi Liz, not sure what to sub for the fish sauce. Maybe try just leaving it out and see how it tastes?

    Thanks for these recipes. I watched the video and was inspired to try mayo again, I have made it in the past but do not like the strong flavor of the olive oil. I saw that you said your new fav is coconut and sesame oil mayo, and I have been meaning to try coconut oil mayo myself, so after seeing this got up and went straight to the kitchen. OMGoodness the coconut oil mayo is to die for!! I always thought that it would be weird tasting, but it isn’t at all. I didn’t add sesame oil, wanted to try it straight up 1st, but I am a happy girl now!

      Oh I’m so glad it worked out for you Vivian! I don’t know what I would do if I had to go back to store mayo … homemade just spoils you completely rotten, doesn’t it?

    great video I just love getting your emails. I was wondering what you use your sweet and sour sauce on. Also when you say 1/4 cup horseradish do you mean straight grated horseradish root or the mixed up horseradish paste.

    By the way you look so great. Thank you again

      Hi Lara, we primarily use the sweet and sour on homemade chicken nuggets. DELISH!!
      It is great for dipping for pretty much anything though.

      I use the freshly ground horseradish that has vinegar and salt in it as well. I find it in the refrigerated section of my healthfood store.

    To D.,
    When I make mayo, I just dump all the ingredients into a pint sized jar, put an immersion (stick) blender in all the way to the bottom, turn on, and slowly raise it up. Then you can go up and down with it until it’s the consistency you want. Works every time!

    Sarah,
    Is there any thing wrong with organic deodorised sunflower oil? The method of deodorisation is an injection of steam over a few hours, not by additives. I use all cold pressed oils otherwise and love my organic kalamata olive oil straight from Crete, via a greek organic wine grower here in France but olive I find too strong and my coconut is raw and solid. Any advice?
    Thanks for the video,
    Helen

      If an oil is deodorized it is because it has become rancid. I would not recommend purchase an oil that required any sort of deodorizing to hide the off smell. Can you get sesame oil?
