Hampton Creek's Healthy Just Mayo Recipes For Super Bowl Sunday and Beyond

It's Super Bowl Sunday, a date full of fattening game day foods! Here at ChiIL Mama we love a good excuse to indulge in diet derailing snacks, but we're also all about clean eating as often as possible, especially when we find something that still tastes great. That's why we were excited when Hampton Creek reached out to us about doing a feature on their Just Mayo and sharing 3 rockin' recipes with our readers. Whether you'll be avidly watching the big game, just tuning in for the creative commercials, or ignoring it all together, we've got some tasty snack recipes you can feel great about serving your family and friends. These are quick, easy and even better... non-GMO, gluten-free, soy free, dairy-free, lactose-free, and naturally cholesterol-free!

I was a vegetarian for 10 years, and as a mom, a key part of my job is to feed my family well and keep them as healthy as possible. We're excited to try out Hampton Creek’s Just Mayo and add more of their excellent line of products to our kitchen staples.

We think Hampton Creek’s Mission Statement for their "Just" line of foods is fabulous! Check it out.

Our outdated food system is the thread running through much of what’s broken—from diabetes to food deserts to the decline of our family farms. From Birmingham to Boston, folks don’t believe good food for everyone is possible. But today's decision by a thoughtful group at our nation's FDA proves it is possible.

And this isn't a story about winning or losing. It's a story about how our food system can be the thread running through much of what's good in this world. A food system that’s healthier and stronger and more aligned with our values. A food system where the right thing is the easiest thing for a single mom working at a hair salon trying to raise two sons.

Hot Microwavable Coffee Mug Cakes Via P&Geveryday #PGeveryday #sponsored

I'm a busy mom with a tween, a teen and my own booming business to run. So sometimes easy is key. The internet is an invaluable resource, but it's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of information out there! That's why when P&Geveryday™ reached out to me to do a feature, I was happy to oblige. I've been a member of their site since November of 2011.

From the time they were tots, my kids have loved to play "Robot Restaurant" and bring us breakfast in bed... complete with the bill (tip expected). Now that they're 11 & 13, the food can be quite good at "The Robot Cafe". The kids design their own menus (listings and art) and they create gorgeous place settings, so it's well worth the "bill" to see them being so creative together.

Tasty Oven French Toast With Lactaid & Melissa d'Arabian on The TODAY Show #recipe #foodiefun #AD

Sagezilla Vs. Lactose

Moooove over milk... Lactaid is in the house.  If someone in your family gets dairy discomfort, quit your belly achin' and try it.   Lactaid tastes like real milk because it IS real milk, with an added enzyme for easy digestion.   



Half of my family is sensitive to dairy, so we were elated when Lactaid wanted to partner up with us on a series of sponsored posts.   We were also stoked to find Costco stocks big jugs of Lactaid, because it's tasty stuff and we've been guzzling it!  I'd just bought a jug a few days ago and went to make a recipe for this post and found the kids drank it all already.   I had to run out and restock.

Check out ChiIL Mama's past Lactaid post here for more on lactose intolerance, varying degrees of dairy sensitivities and more.



Did you see Lactaid's celebrity spokesmom, Melissa d'Arabian on the TODAY Show?   She's got a rockin' recipe for lactose free creamy mushroom sauce.  Click here to check it out.

My daughter and husband have the most trouble with breakfast, since lactose intolerance is worse on an empty stomach, so we checked out the cool recipes from Lactaid and whipped up some Oven French Toast.   Lactaid can be used in place of milk in any of your tried and true favs, too.





The French Toast was tasty, moist, and easy.  The whole family dug it, and nobody got stomach cramps!   Here's the recipe.   Click here for many more from Lactaid.   

Baked French Toast with Orange Syrup

Submitted by: Makers of LACTAID® Brand Products

Once you try this oven-baked French toast, you’ll never make it the old way again. On a griddle or in a skillet, French toast must be made in batches. Baking allows you to cook all eight pieces at once.

• Serves: 4
• Prep Time: 10 Minutes
• Cook Time: 11 Minutes
• Total Time: 32 Minutes

Ingredients

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• 1 cup LACTAID® Reduced Fat Milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices French bread
• 1/4 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Sifted powdered sugar (optional)

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. In a pie plate combine eggs, LACTAID® Reduced Fat Milk, vanilla, and 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Soak bread slices in egg mixture for about 1 minute per side. Place on prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake in a 450 degree F oven about 6 minutes or until bread is lightly browned. Turn bread over and bake 5 to 8 minutes more or until slightly puffed.
4. For orange syrup, stir together orange peel, orange juice, honey, cornstarch, and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
5. Sift powdered sugar over toast, if desired. Serve with warm orange syrup.
