Recently I discovered a gluten-free, vegan imitation mayonnaise product that comes in a handy squeeze bottle designed to be stored upside down like those cool Heinz ketchup squeeze bottles. This idea appealed to me because it involves inherent protection against cross contamination that might be caused by people using a knife to spread mayo on a slice of ordinary wheat-bearing danger bread.
I like the flavor and consistency quite a bit. It is very similar to Vegenaise, but perhaps slightly sweeter. We discovered Mayola for sale on Amazon. It is made in the UK and prominently labeled as gluten free. Below are some photos of the product and a tomato sandwich I made using Ener-G rice bread.

I quite like Mayola and will be buying more once this 6-pack runs out. I even use a little bit of it in a sauces for a stir fry sometimes. I'd give it 4 or 5 stars.

I have a new favorite breakfast treat these days, gluten free english muffins, toasted, then smeared with lots of creamy peanut butter. I usually have a side of either fresh or canned fruit as well, usually peaches, a navel orange, or canned mandarin orange segments.
Buying canned fruit is a risky business, not that the fruit is going to harm you in any way, but because so often it turns out to have been overcooked making it mushy and disgusting. This seems much more likely to happen with store brand canned fruit.
As far as the english muffins go, since I'm vegan as well as gluten free I am locked out of some types of gluten free muffins, but the ones made by Ener-G are VGF and I have developed a taste for them. I prefer the darker variety that has added sweet potato and fiber.
Because this breakfast has fiber from the muffins and the fruit, as well as protein and fat from the peanut butter, it gets metabolized more slowly and I'm rarely hungry again before lunchtime. It makes me feel like I've had a healthy and well balanced breakfast.
I also often use these english muffins as hamburger rolls when having one of the Wildwood tofu burgers I've blogged about before.
Here are the deals on offer from Amazon for gluten free english muffins.
