“Hold the mayo…….”
Those are usually my words most of the year, but since we are in the middle of the Christmas Season and tasty recipes – well………….
So while at the grocery store I found a reputable brand of mayonaise on sale, both the diet and regular brand were listed for the same price. At first I gravitated toward the diet variety, but then I wondered if it might not taste as good. Then I decided to read the labels for both the diet and the regular – hoping the information would help sway my decision. Calories and fat content were my focus. Much to my surprise, the calories were the same! The fat content wasn’t much different either – and in fact, the diet brand contained some undesirable fat, along with watered down ingredients. I decided to go with the wholesome choice and not settle for the watered down variety……..
Preparing the food for this Christmas Holiday reminds me that watering down recipes may seem good at first, but harmful side effects could be experienced later…………
This Christmas don’t let the message of the birth of our Lord and Savior get watered down or tainted with unhealthy ingredients………
- and oh yes, pass the mayo !!

Pass the mayo! What’s a guy supposed to do for extra special tasty food if all year long he’s been getting the undieted version of food anyway?
