Paleo chef in da house

So yesterday was an epic disaster. Ran out of prepped food ... oh and had to rush hubby to doc through peak traffic then later to hospital. Only managed 1 meal so I was incredibly broken by evening. Grabbed a stash of biltong and nuts so that saved me while hubby was been booked in.
After bringing hubby back home today I decided to do some major prep to last a few days so we could both rest and recuperate. 
After 3 hours my fridge is full of very delicious meals ready to throw together. My blender just just made it through the brownie bites, so off I got shopping tomoro for a proper one.
Bacon egg cups
Sweet potato latkes
Carrot sticks
Fruit salad
Homemade burger patties
Brownie bites
Plus lunch...
I'm now kapoet and ready to put my feet up!

Homemade Mayo

So simple I could not believe.
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp lemon juice
Half tsp salt
Half tsp dijon mustard
In blender mix eggs lemon juice salt mustard
Slowly drizzle olive oil while blending
Don't overdo the blending.
If mixed with avo it makes delicious avo mousse for topping steak, fish or burgers

Lunch

Love it when a meal comes together to be equally tasty and healthy.
These latkes are so versatile and yummy. And the homemade mayo adds just that extra something a sauce addict like me craves.
And to feel like I just ate a burger is so cool, hubby can have his bread burger!
