Whilst most people would be doing a happy dance at the prospect of a tropical holiday, I secretly feel anxious (don’t tell anyone). Do you ever get that sinking feeling like you’re going to miss the plane? Well I have this for a whole week leading up to the trip. Even though we’re traveling domestically, I like to get to the airport 2 hours early just in case. Just in case of what I’m not really sure…

As much as I love veggies, sometimes you want a little extra. The right condiment can really bring a vegetable to life. My lemony, creamy, Brazil Nut Mayo works in so many ways. In sandwiches, mixed through quinoa or dolloped onto a fresh salad. Whether you like traditional egg-based mayo or not (I was never a fan) you have to give this Brazil Nut Mayo a try. It’ll knock your socks off! Continue reading “Knock Your Socks Off Brazil Nut Mayo”
