Some suggestions of how to use your mayonnaise:

#2 Use as a mock Hollandaise sauce; by adding grated cheddar cheese (if tolerated), then you can spread over vegetables such as cooked cauliflower and broccoli.(cover and then heat in the oven)
#3 Use to thicken gravy; by adding 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise to about 1 cup of meat stock and heat gently for 1-2 minutes stirring constantly.
