MASSIVE Costco Haul | Giant Pantry Restock | Homemade Mayo and Ranch Dressing

[@InForTheFood]

I do my mayo with the immersion blender, but I don’t have to drizzle it. I use the whole egg, some mustard, salt, vinegar or lemon. Put all this is a long tall recipient(usually comes with the immersion blender), then pour the oil on top so that is double the volume of all the other ingredients. Then gently lower the immersion blender (turned off) and get it to the bottom. Only then I start it on turbo and keep it there without moving for a few seconds, until I see that mayo is starting to form on the bottom. Then I gently and slowly go up and down with the blender stick, first not all the way, until I get more and more of the oil incorporated. After all is smooth, if I want it to be thicker, I add more oil. If I want it runnier, I add some sparkling water. It takes a minute in total I think. And no need to slowly drizzle. You can also substitute the egg with same volume of milk, or aquafaba(water from canned or self boiled and cooled chickpeas)

[@NancyMancarious]

I will try this, thank youu

[@lynettemunson7953]

I do this way also. I found a mason jar in my pantry, tall and 2 cup markings on the side. I put oil in first to measure then add everything else. Works perfectly and no dishes! When I first weaned my family off a lifetime of Best Foods/Hellmans I added a touch of sugar, a little onion powder, and used rice vinegar for the acid. I use Azures avocado oil and turns out well!

[@kimberlyearly8918]

That's good to know! I'm gonna make mayo for dressing this week for the first time and I hate trying to get stuff like out of the bottom of the blender. I feel like I waste a lot simply because I can't get what's around the blade out.

[@shepstrohm]

I use this method also. So much easier than the precise, fussy oil drizzling method.

[@lucindasutt7365]

Lots of ideas on making Mayo. I liked the option of no egg as I am not to eat raw. This is why I have never made it. I should have looked for substitutes for the egg. Chelsie, you are so talented and have a lot of helpful subscribers too. I was excited to get a nice look at your newly decorated family room. I just love the furniture, the wood tones, the coffe table is super. Where did you get that. It has storage drawers also. Wow. Really nice. Back to the video, yes to catching up on fresh salads and your restock hauls are always fun. Thanks .

[@kimberlyearly8918]

As you were moving your plants around, I was showing my husband how beautiful your living room is. I just love your house! You mentioned someone commenting recently about doing a big Costco haul after the pantry challenge and asking how that saved you any money. Well, you still saved a lot of money because the things you restocked on were not canned foods or produce that most people have to buy weekly at the store. Your hard work growing and preserving food saves you lots I'm sure! I truly admire you!

[@cathydavis9259]

You saved money from impulse buying. I can run into Costco or Walmart for 3 or 4 items and walk out with a cart full. This happens way more often than not.

[@jimgree]

Your channel is very nice, no drama or BS or fake news thank you....

[@evie5816]

You have a beautiful, calming voice

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you. ♥️

[@amandajohnsrud6516]

It’s not super frugal but we keep Mayo packets from the wholesale restaurant store. If you run out of home made Mayo you can just use a couple of those without starting and needing to use a large container. Also if we take sandwiches fishing it’s nice to have the option of self contained Mayo and not soggy bread.

[@AZJH8374]

Your home, your ceiling, living room, and kitchen are absolutely stunning. WOW! God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻

[@rosemaryp3253]

The light in your kitchen and living room is beautiful. Your new furniture is stunning.

[@asdfklo]

Celery leaf in the ranch will take it to another level!

[@lucindasutt7365]

Nothing looks so tasty as fresh homemade Bread, and smells wonderful. Your house has the best freshener smell there is.

[@barbaranielsen2888]

Your home is beautiful now! Congratulations on the fact your children are older now and you can keep nice things. Soon the Grandchildren will come!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

My grandson was over on Sunday and I was reminder how quickly they can make.a mess, but I don’t mind. Easy enough to clean up when they go home! Lol

[@reginathompson9350]

Yes, I quit trying to keep my house spotless it's a blessing at a time like this to put all that on the back burner and enjoy this time with my family.❤❤❤

[@marinamayo7994]

I think you got some wonderful deals. I love how you've decorated your home. Very cozy!

[@aprilgarrahan3245]

I have absolutely love the contents of your videos. The yellow dish towels are going to look amazing in your kitchen. Very pretty good choice. And yes, create a beautiful space, it’s important for the soul.

[@carlakohlwes-vp7lt]

Glad you put that plant back up on the fireplace on the right side. I was yelling from my chair put it back there. That’s the spot.

[@suewhalen3919]

I LOVE olives! So, I asked the olive guy at the market if I could buy a small barrel. He looked at me kinda strange, but I got a great deal!! Greek salad is our go to, so no scrimping on the olives now!

[@belieftransformation]

Great grocery haul & all your accessories to your living space look great! Thanks for sharing! I trust the lambs are all doing well now. Blessings 🤗🇨🇦

[@christineeckhold6341]

Just a tip in case you haven't heard of this mayo method... put 3 whole eggs and 3 cups oil in a wide mouth quart jar (plus lemon juice, salt etc. to flavor) then use an emersion blender at the very bottom till emulsified... then slowly rock the blender from side to side allowing the oil and eggs to continue to blend as you rise towards the top... you'll get a good mayonnaise every time. 😊 Thank you for another great video❤

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you!!!

[@christineeckhold6341]

PS... I forgot to say the eggs should be room temperature 👍

[@patriciakoester1580]

I like all the plants where they ended up on and around Fireplace too!! Thanks Chelsea ♥️ Patricia (Daniel)

[@exploringallgenres]

That desk/coffee table is neat! Man I wish I had a Costco close to me, that butter price is an absolute deal! My local grocery store sells butter for $8-9 each! Your mayo looks great, I make mine a bit different but we absolutely love it. Really looking forward to seeing your pantry update and post pantry challenge chat.

[@ronalee34]

What a good haul! If you use a stick blender for mayonnaise, you don't have to drizzle the oil. You can put everything in a jar, blend it and then just pop a lid on. No need to clean the blender.

[@susanoswalt1169]

I love the plants and your living room looks so much more brighter and cheerful,I just love it.

[@spoonfulofbranston8042]

chelsea make mayo with whole egg in a jar to fit your stick blender put in all ingredients vinegar mustard s and p and if you add 2 tablespoons of a ferment will last month in the fridge,,,,,,put in all oil at once stick to the bottom of jar and blend lift after emulsification begins its much easier and the mayo is already in the jar

[@debihurd9801]

FYI: your living room looks great! It just caught a full shot of it in your opening and it looks really good.

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

I've been waiting on this haul. I can't wait to hear yours and Dans evaluation of the challenge. I've really enjoyed this pantry challenge and all that I've learned from others like you Chelsea. Ty.

[@ChristineKelly1000]

The way you pronounce pecan is the way everyone in the world except some people in the US pronounce it.😊❤

[@Sharon-bo2se]

You did well with your shop, the prices do look a bit better. I really like all the sun and brightness in your living space now , very uplifting.

[@brendarushka9966]

I love the light pouring into your living room and the new furniture. So light, bright and cheery! I must have missed it but did you buy a ton of fresh fruits and veggies from Costco? I am sure you did.

[@vickifoster8049]

Your living room area looks so cozy😊

[@countryinthecity3736]

Put the two white pots on the mantle and the one left on the mantle, put it on the side table

[@caroleduby1070]

Thank you Chelsea for the ranch dressing recipe.

[@fromthehutt9508]

I’ve been making my salad dressing from homemade yogurt. Just add some garlic powder and dill.

[@clydesdalehomestead3807]

I realize you have a large family and bought a lot of clothing and household items too but I still choked when you said the total and I had to back up and watch again to make sure I heard correctly. 😮

[@jenpogurl]

I was shocked it was ONLY $3100. I thought $5k for sure.

[@Christine84080]

Have you ever made fermented mayo with the juice of fermented sauerkraut? Most people use the juice of store bought sauerkraut. The mayo does not take on the flavor of the kraut but the mayo will last in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks❤

[@chandraachtenberg3123]

One of your plants appears to be a corn plant. The one that did not react to the cold. They can actually grow to be quite large so if you buy a new pot I would suggest a bigger pot.

[@lmagas-om9dp]

You could make homemade marshmallows with the leftover egg whites, too.

[@Steve.E]

I make my own mayonnaise. 1tsp Dijon mustard to each egg yolk. Salt & Pepper. Hand whisk the oil in very slowly with a fork. Finish off with 1 tbsp red wine vinegar right at the end to stop the action. (Note no lemon juice 😁)

[@Notable2Nikki]

Where did you get that coffee table that rises up to be more of a desk? It's beautiful! I also am finding myself wanting to beautify my spaces more now that I don't have Barbies and blocks all over the floor every year.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

City Furniture

[@janiceingle2131]

I love your coffee table/desk! Where did you get it?

[@SoItUp]

If you boil your eggs for 60 seconds which reduces bacteria in the raw egg, your mayo will last longer. I use raw egg in my Caesar salad dressing and use this method as per my very old recipe and have kept the dressing in a jar in the fridge for a couple weeks.

[@shellyek6237]

New to your channel I'm really enjoying it! I love that your in BC.We are on Vancouver Island. Also, Costco is my favorite place to shop. That Cherry berry frozen fruit is my favorite!

You two are such great parents and I love you both for it ❤️

It is beautiful!❤

[@lmagas-om9dp]

[@annecaunce]

I love black olives as does my 2 year old granddaughter. She eats them every day with her lunch, usually with houmous on the side. Try marinating them in a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and mixed herbs. Works well with green olives too.

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

Chelsea, Since changing the color of your cabinets and furniture the entire main area has lightened up dramatically. It’s so beautiful and inviting. You have made beautiful and impactful choices! Way to go girlfriend!👏🏼

[@monahardy978]

I agree ❤

[@annettescanlan2085]

I am so with you on the black olives and yes you are right you can still taste the juice on things if they remove them.

[@marieroman]

The living room looks great. Please check and make sure your plants are cat friendly. I had a cat that was always chewing my plants. He got so sick we nearly lost him. Who knew. I thought they wouldn't chew it if it was bad for them.

[@danazimmer]

Yup we did too. We spent several thousands at an emergency vet to save him.

[@katiejansen8969]

The plant that you put on the hearth last looks great!

[@danamama6766]

Nice haul loved it. You made me smile so hard haaa with the rearange the plants. I do exactly the same thing. The living room is so cozy and beautiful. loved this hugs

[@roseannejacquette9347]

Good job. I only did the pantry challenge for about 5-6 weeks although I continued with my meat supply for the two months. It was satisfying going through my stores. It was the produce that got me too.

[@laurad.6478]

[@hardenmama1800]

Your living room look lovely.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Exactly!

[@coastalfarmhouse1820]

Please show us stir fry recipe

[@melissanash6801]

You’re right! Ketchup can be super time consuming to make and can. A few years back I found a recipe at Reformation Acres and it is a game changer. You cook your tomatoes, onions, and garlic in a crock pot to draw out the liquid. Then proceed with the recipe. You don’t have to spend hours cooking it down. I then can the “juice” I from the cooking process and use it in chili or soup. Amazing!

[@janemay8721]

The plants look great! I love your new furniture in living room. Shopping Costco does say money. Groceries are expensive .

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Chelsea

[@lenettasmith-murray2145]

I absolutely love your living room colors, beautiful. So excited to try the homemade mayonnaise. There's only me, so I don't want to waste what I make. What is combucha (probably not spelt right).

[@ann-utah1495]

Chelsea your home is beautiful .. it’s so inviting with how bright it is.. and your colors you use are so soft and warm… I was saying out loud.. put the plant on the hearth.. but I love it on the mantel just as much!! Your mayo looks so good and so easy.. I’m going to try it! Also I was wondering if you use white sugar or the organic sugar.. which is kind of beige color.. I’ve seen it at Costco but not sure if taste or baking with it would be any difference that one would notice? I’m sure you don’t have time to answer everyone’s questions.. so if anyone who knows the answer would let me know I would appreciate you sharing what you know! 🫶🏻☀️🫶🏻

[@SimplySherylAnne]

When I separate eggs, I keep the unused part in the refrigerator; I + it to whole eggs when I make scrambled eggs.

Have you tried making fermented mayonnaise? Homesteading Family has a great video on it. Mayo lasts for months in the fridge! I use leftover whey from making yogurt to make mine. Love your videos. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I haven’t, but someone did send me her video.

[@clydesdalehomestead3807]

I use their recipe too. Super easy!

[@suemcknight9051]

I especially love when you begin a video with the camera looking out towards your “new” living room. Just so homey and plain lovely…❤. p.s. approximately how many hours does it take to shop on the grand scale that you do? I’m in awe of those shopping trips you guys do…😊

[@bridgetbreaux8243]

I am the exact same way with olives!! I love green but I don't even like how black olives smell! Green olives are delicious on pizza!!

[@ladyprepared]

We started getting Azure Standards black olives. They taste sooo much better than store bought black olives. I didn't even realize there could be a difference!

[@karincope3019]

Chelsey - have you used honey as sweetener when canning ? I have canned for years but never used honey and I am thinking of trying this year . I purchased my first steam canner and love it . I have been given 2 AA canners so very fortunate.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Yes, I use honey to make syrup for fruit all the time.

What, no Mac and cheese ? I love your Costco shopping videos.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Lol! We just couldn’t do it this time.

[@ShellyS2060]

Question, how do you manage to use up the sour cream and mayo once opened. Do they freeze well? I have to buy the small containers because it seems to turn green and fuzzy.

[@goodandgreen]

I think they have a household of 15-20 people

[@BH-gr2ds]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@Flowers4Everyone]

I enjoy most, if not all, olives. Perhaps you have spoken about this previously, but do you keep an excel sheet of stock and use per month?

[@lisapop5219]

I'm 100% with you on olives. I loathe black olives. I was just talking about it last night. They taste like dirt to me.

[@mikereedy51]

How do u store sugar & flour can I put food salf 5 gall buckets do I need to put a bag in bucket ty

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Yes, you can use 5gal buckets. If you are planning on storing for more than 6 months a Mylar bag in the bucket is a good idea.

[@theUcane]

Once you open one of those VATS of mayo, where will you store it??? I have to be super careful about which condiments I buy at Costco so the huge bottles don't become the nemesis of our fridge.

[@rhondac5452]

Check out the videos on fermented mayo.

[@Barbara-pz8ky]

Nice haul…curious …how many children do you and Dan have

[@traceyparker1407]

The cranberries, what are the ingredients? I am in the USA & they really load them up with sugar!! Are yours no sugar added? Or do you have the same issues up there in Canada? I swear, I think they are trying to make us all sick!! With all of the added questionable ingredients!! 🤔🤔🤔

[@SJC49]

Purchase a bag of cranberries (avail at all grocery stores). Boil down with water until thickened. Add sugar and 1/4 c orange juice. You can practice with how much sugar you like. Natural and delicious.

[@Ladiebuglane1]

I cant do olives either. They leave their flavor on everything.

How much oil? I’d love to try this. Love the new intro
