It’s that time again!!! Outdoor grilling, park days, suntans, barely there clothing, and backyard bbq’s have begun to fill the days here in Colorado. And all of those fun things are paired into the 4th of July here. So, what I have done for you, is made you multiple recipes for the 4th of July so you can stay satisfied at your happy day bbq. Oh, and I’ll have some recommendations on Thursday of a ton of different recipes to try. So exciting.
Soooooo, I don’t know about this whole instagram video thing. I mean, it’s a bad idea. I’ve already witnessed drunken instagramming, but now that video is involved…it’s a whole different ball game. And I was part of that ball game on Saturday night. Ugh. My first instagram video experience was paired with Sergio while he tried to imitate my facial expressions. And this was after a night of sushi and multiple sake bombs. Did I say multiple? Raw fish and a bottle of sake the size of a small 2 year old just probably shouldn’t ever be mixed. Well, they should, but not when instagram is involved. That was embarrassing. Not really, but slightly frightening when you wake up the next morning and see a video posted. #damnyouinstagramvideo
I really like sake, but man does it make me slightly different. I actually ended up yelling at a guy because I thought he was making fun of me for using instagram video. Right after I posted that video, I turned around and called this guy a d*ck. Thank gosh that part wasn’t on the video. Worst part of it all, he’s one of my buddy’s friends. Which means I will probably see him again someday. Ughhhhhhh. I’m the worst. I’m officially that embarrassing friend. #damnyousakeandrawfish
But thankfully, I stayed sober on Sunday and did a photo shoot for my friend Tommy who has the clothing line Buckley Omega. Sober Sunday funday! It was actually slightly fun. We sat at his pool, dipped our toes in the frigid water, acted like we were laughing a lot, and stood awkwardly. I’m not really good at that modeling thing. It makes me really sweaty.
OMG. Real quick. Have you heard about making mayo with an immersion blender?!? If you don’t have an immersion blender, go out and buy one RIGHT NOW!! Seriously. It’s worth every penny just to be able to make mayo in less than a minute. LESS THAN A MINUTE!!
4th of July Egg and Potato Salad

- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

Another great recipe! Thank you cant wait to make the mayo.
Thank you Juli! My CF gym is having a BBQ this weekend. I think I might make this to share with everyone. It sounds delicious!
You know what is awesome about your post?! I SAW your video on instagram and tried to make the same face as you and failed….the best part was…I was SOBER…OMG…NERD ALERT!!
HAAA! I did the same thing! My attempted looked a lot like Sergio’s.
Totally trying this! I feel like I want to put bacon in it. Acceptable?
Absolutely!
Your mayo ingredients still turn to mayo even if you don’t add the oil a drop at a time? I usually do the drop by drop method and my immersion blender’s motor is practically smoking by the time I have anything even close to mayo. Thanks tho for the recipe!
Girl – dump it ALL in…I usually let the eggs sit on the counter in the cup that came with the immersion blender with lemon juice until it becomes room temp. Then spices and oil ALL AT ONCE. Its amazing. and so so so so so soooooo much faster.
I’ve never been a big potato salad fan, but for some reason have been thinking about making a paleo version lately… I will definitely try your version! (& thank you for the mayo recipe; I LOOOOVE my immersion blender, and am always happy to find another use for it!!)
less than a minute?
IT’S AMAZZZZZZZZZING
seriously. amazing.
I’ve got everything listed except for avocado oil. If I don’t find it, or want to make this before I go on the search, is there another oil that will work in the mayo?
Bacon fat would be delicious for this!
I’ve done it with bacon fat several times and it turns out delish! I melt mine on the stovetop, then bring to almost room temp before adding to the eggs. That with diced bacon would make this recipe AMAZING.
OMG I made mayonnaise.
Do you know how many times I have tried to make mayo….. 5-8 minutes of painstakingly dripping oil only to get some watery, yucky, have to throw out, mess.
I followed your directions, used an immersion blender, and had mayo in under 30 seconds.
I can’t believe it. Success! It actually looks like mayo.
You are fabulous. That is all. 🙂
