Food

Butter substitute. Yep, mayo is a great substitute for butter, particularly when it comes to grilled sandwiches.

Egg substitute. When you’re baking, you can sub 3 tablespoons of mayo for one egg.

Tofu substitute. Well, it’s not vegan, but if you’d like to swap out tofu in a dressing, dip or sauce, mayo is a great alternative.

I didn't know it could be used as an egg substitute in baking. And in all my years of lice checks through my 7 kids, I never thought of using mayo to suffocate lice...lol. Life is a learning experience.
