If you have a lot of mayonnaise on hand, that needs used up before its expiration date, here are some quick ways to not waste it! Did you know you can use the mayonnaise as a coating for your chicken, before applying the breadcrumbs and frying? I did this the other day and it made the chicken so much more delicious! You can also use the mayonnaise in baked goods (breads, muffins, biscuits, cake, ect.) Which is what I did recently, making these oh so yummy Blueberry Muffins. These muffins came out with a nice slight crunchy outer coating, and a soft, perfectly moist, inside. The best part is, you can't even taste the mayonnaise, it's great! I liked these muffins so much, I will definitely be making them again! To make these muffins, you need the following ingredients:
- 2 Eggs
- 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of mayonnaise (I used Kewpie brand=best mayo evveerrr)
- 2 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1 TBSP of Cinnamon (give or take)
- 2 1/2 cups of flour
- 1 TBSP baking powder
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 3/4 cup of milk
Mix all of the above ingredients together and then add in your preferred amount of blueberries. You could also use any other type of mix in and it would probably be just as good! Think... Blackberries, chopped strawberries or apples, shredded carrots or zucchini, chocolate chips, oatmeal... there are so many options! Once everything is all mixed together, start adding dollops of the batter into your muffin pan, either lined with muffin liners or well greased. (I like to use avocado oil if I don't have liners.) Place your muffin tin in the oven and cook at 350° for approximately 25 minutes. Test muffin center with either a toothpick or butter knife- if it comes out clean, your muffins are done cooking and ready to cool. If it's slightly doughy still, cook for another 5-7 minutes, as oven cooking time varies. The muffins should be nice and golden, with the perfect outer crisp, and once cooled, they're ready to enjoy!!
1 1/2 Cup of Flour
Mix all of the ingredients together until it forms a nice ball of dough. Once combined, wrap dough and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes. While the dough is chilling, begin making your pumpkin pie filling. To do this, mix together the following ingredients:
When all the pie filling ingredients were combined, I took the dough from the fridge and shaped a crust into the greased pie pan. You can roll the ball and flatten it on the counter top, with some extra flour, but I was in a hurry so I just shaped it in the pan. This worked just fine! It may not have come out as pretty but crimping the edges with a fork helped :-) 
Hydrating Face Oil by Fyve - This oil goes on my skin smoothly, while absorbing into my pores leaving it feeling hydrated and moisturized. I'm not big on the smell because it's pretty earthy, but the product itself feels nice. I enjoy using it as part of my morning and nightly routine to keep my face feeling good. 
Zest Hydration Powders - These powders taste pretty good and contain 700mg of electrolytes to replenish your hydration and keep you fueled. Whether you need it for recovery or energy, you will find a tasty drink to keep you going. 
Pure Traditions Coconut Noodles - I have yet to try these because coconut usually doesn't get along with me, but also, the texture of these noodles just doesn't seem appealing. I like that they are a low carb alternative and easy to make, with just a quick heat and serve.
Jada Spice BBQ Chicken Salt Vegan Seasoning - 
Tiesta Tea's Maui Mango - I tried this tea cold and it didn't taste very sweet at all but the flavor of pineapple was pretty strong. I think I would've liked it better with some honey. One thing I didn't like, was the safflowers didn't strain so each sip had those in it.
Treeline Coffee's Steeped Coffee Bags in the Flavor "Takes a Village" - which contains Dried Mango, Orange Blossom, and Apricot. I enjoyed drinking my cup, even though I didn't think I would like the flavors because mango, orange and apricot in a coffee just doesn't sound good, but it surprisingly is! And it smells amazing. Now I need to try their other flavors because I love this idea. I have always said coffee needed to be put into bags like tea, I'm so glad somebody finally did it! This allows your morning coffee to be made in no time, just heat up some water and pour it over the coffee bag, let it steep, and you will have a cup of coffee within minutes. And if you want it to be stronger, you just brew the bag for longer, making it perfect for on the go! 
A fun and sweet craft to do with your kids, is to make Lollipop Flowers to give out as little Valentines!
Probably because I was using tiny paper clips to try this on; I think it would have been much easier with the jumbo clips, but tiny ones are just as cute, if not cuter.
