May I Mention Mayonnaise?

I have a problem, I am a foodie with a weight issue: I really enjoy certain textures and flavors and have a body that craves chocolate sugar & carbs; I was and possibly still am a mayo maiden, loving the silky texture and flavor of mayonnaise…

Over the years I have body imposed dietary restrictions so the list of what I can't eat is longer that what I can, I don’t eat wheat, but can manage rice, I am totally dairy free, and under my daughter in laws advice http://daniellasilver.com/ (a board certified holistic health coach,) cut right back on soya, sugars, and certain raw vegetables that can create an unhealthy reaction for people with thyroid related problems. (More about that later)

One of the things I miss most is mayonnaise, I don’t eat raw eggs , so homemade went out the window years ago, and Helmans my preferred brand is certainly not in the healthy bracket so I have set about producing an alternative version that works. After trial and error the "nonmayomayo dressing" as I call it below actually satisfies on of my cravings.

We eat to give our bodies' fuel and nutrition, we also eat for pleasure, healthy has had the reputation for being unpalatable, but we are getting use to the idea that healthy food can taste good too.

Here is a recipe for my healthy

"Paelo friendly Slaw" with "nonmayomayo dressing"

Not Schmaltz At All ( healthy chopped liver)

Chopped liver often mocked, reproduced and joked about, as traditionally Jewish as chicken soup. Chopped liver can be made with any type pf liver but personally I prefer the traditional favorite of chicken livers. Chopped liver was traditionally fried in schmaltz (chicken fat ) which over the years has given way to oil, my no fry no oil version tastes just as good but weight watchers can eat with guilt. Nutritional Value Liver is a nutrient-rich food and the ingredients in the chopped liver recipe add more nutrients to the mix. Liver is high in vitamin A, which is dangerous to unborn babies so pregnant mothers should avoid liver in any form.It also contains vitamin C choline, betaine, of vitamin B-12, retinal and vitamin E also of vitamins B-6, folate, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin and thiamin in lesser amounts It also contains the following minerals Its high in i ron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese selenium . If eaten frequently,

Perfect Hot Salt Beef Sandwich When I was twenty I was lucky enough to work a stall in the world famous Petticoat Lane market on Sunday mornings, Back in the day the market was mainly Jewish market traders we were part of the very special history of the East End of London, The excitement, hustle and bustle, comradeship between the stall holders was second to none, we worked all weathers , and shared each other’s joys and sorrows. but the icing on the cake was visiting Blooms on Whitechapel Road after trading had finished for a succulent hot salt beef sandwich, nothing can erase these memories from my mind even though its over half a century ago. When Danny Brummer “Z"L” was running the Deli in Hove Street, I use to cook with him, back in the day we use to pickle our own beef but nowadays you can buy it ready pickled from Gilberts, this is the recipe we used to serve hot salt beef sandwiches to the Brighton and Hove Jewish community 1.5 kilos ready pickle
