Basic Mayonnaise
When I became nomad, almost a year ago, I knew my kitchen habits had to chance. Done with the luxury of being able to buy a big pot of mayonnaise without worrying if it would be done in time. Since we have been renting fully furnished apartments and we’ve been living in our suitcases, being able to store items in the fridge for weeks/months on end isn’t an option anymore.
You obviously don’t need to be nomad to make your own mayo. You should have the desire to do so already because of the simple fact that you’ll feel extremely accomplished making this basic commodity that we’re so used to buy and you’ll be able to customize it exactly the way you want. What I’m giving you today is a base, feel free to jazz it up by adding your favourite spices to make it your own.

Fun Spring Salad with Fennel, Carrots & Apples
Even tho it’s technically spring right now, I’m looking outside my window and I don’t see it. Last week, for our first day of Spring, we had a big snowstorm in Montreal and since it looks like we are in the middle of January. The worst thing is, 2 weeks ago there was no more snow outside, the weather was starting to be nice and uplifting and the birds were singing. I’m wondering how surprised those pore little birdies were when they realized that only a few days after they either woke up or came back from the south, mother nature still had a ton of snow and cold weather for them.
One thing for sure, mother nature is getting more and more erratic with the years… and I cant believe some people are still so close minded that they don’t believe in global warming. …Ugh, ignorance like this annoyed me till no end and I feel like slapping all those people in the back of the head for having such ignorance but again, it’s not my place to do so but since this is my blog, I’m venting away lol …sorry about that that.
On a much funner and tastier note, I decided that even if it’s not as sunny as I would have expect it today, I’m not going to let this weather gets to me and I will be celebrating the arrival of Spring anyways with some fun light and flavorful salads like this one. It’s also part of my few posts that I’m dedicating to my contracted models who are seeking for healthy and low calories recipes to prepare because they have to go on photo shoots very soon. I hope you’ll enjoy this fennel, carrot and green apple salad as much as I did. It’s super easy to do, barely take any ingredients and will keep you full for quit a while. Enjoy!
