  • It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself — it's tastier and better for you. You'll find some good homemade mayonnaise recipes here. As a dressing you can also use sour cream or plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Use them on their own or mix them with mayonnaise in any ratio you like — that will cut the calories.
  • How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep them from cracking, put them in cold water and set them over low heat. Boil for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then cover with cold water and cool. The sudden temperature change makes them easier to peel.
