Bobby Flay’s Holiday Recipes with Hellmann’s Mayonnaise

The last Hellmann’s event turned to me to a devout Hellmann’s fan. I haven’t stopped eating mayonnaise sandwiches since. I seriously can’t stop. All they did was give me a jar of that stuff to take home and my roommates have witnessed me mayoing every meal. I can’t think of any other product I endorse so strongly, if at all. It’s the fucking best mayonnaise.


This time with two jars of mayonnaise

Once again Bobby Flay and Full House’s Lori Loughlin showed us some recipes and tips. Last time was like a corn chip with some mayonnaise on it. This time was some real tasty stuff –Turkey Reuben w/ Thousand Island Coleslaw, Turkey Paella w/ Lemon-Smoked Paprika Aioli and Balsamic-Glazed Stuffed Mushrooms (which were the balls!).

Some interesting notes from the luncheon:
– Bobby Flay will eat pizza after the NYC Marthon run
– His favorite pizza at the moment: Motorino (He knew he’d get trouble for saying that)
– The same company that makes Hellmann’s makes Axe Body Spray (as Simon from Plate of the Day informed me). Maybe that’s why I have such a strong connection to Hellmann’s.
– Mixing mayo into rice (Turkey Paella). That’s an interesting idea. I love mayonnaise!
– Bobby Flay’s #1 tip for holidays meals. Always have a pot of chicken stock available. Used to moisten the meats and for everything else. His restaurants go through tons of it. But what about mayonnaise?

The Stuffed Mushrooms were so good with mayo glaze.

Perhaps I’m going overboard for my love of Hellmann’s and my integrity is now questionable, but I have to say I will aways sell out and shill for mayonnaise. Therefore their recipes (including the mushrooms) after the jump. Maybe next time I’ll show you and Bobby Flay my recipe for Mayonnaise Sandwich.

Hellmann’s Sandwich Swap and Share

At yesterday Hellmann’s luncheon, Bobby Flay and Full House’s Lori Loughlin showed us how to make snacks for our kids, like putting tuna salad in a Tostitos Scoop. I love mayonnaise.

On the contrary, I’m not a mommy-blog and I probably wouldn’t have written about this if it wasn’t for this awesome photo and that Hellmann’s is in it to help feed hungry children. All you have to do is create a virtual sandwich on their Facebook page and Hellmann’s will donate up to $75,000 to Share Our Strength (a national non profit organization to fight child hunger).

I remember back in middle school being surprised how one kid I knew went to the free breakfast program they offered. I think I made fun of him until I learned that the food he ate during school was his only food for the whole day. I didn’t realize how fortunate I was to be fat and had parents who ran a restaurant. That kid was good kid. It was hard for me to understand… why?

Even today, I’m grateful that I’m able to eat the ton of shit I do. It really sucks that there’s kids out there that are hungry. So I applaud Hellmann’s, Share Our Strength and all the food programs past, present and future. Help them out by making a stupid sandwich on your Facebook. That’s all you gotta do.
