March Break is over and kids are back to school this week.
This means, back to the grind for us parents as well. Our busy day starts with waking up to the sound of the alarm and getting the day off to a great start with a healthy breakfast for the whole family. Also Included in the agenda is packing nutritious lunches for everyone, within time constraints. My kids are into snacking big time so I make it a point to stock up on healthy snacks that fill up the day and their tummies just right!

Gay Lea’s gourmet and artisan cheese products by Ivanhoe and Salerno has some great line up of amazing cheeses that could work to serve you as yummy snacks.

I haven’t seen this recipe made with mayo before, but I’m curious as to how it compares to our usual butter. I bet it tastes wonderful with those seasonings. 🙂
