Blog Post CommentWhat an awesome innovation. Thanks for sharing!

Blog Post Comment❤️There's just one word I can think of. AquaFABULOUS!!!!!!

Blog Post CommentWow thank you for doing the comparison! Interesting that the chickpea has the mildest taste. I recently spotted a new egg replacer powder based on garbanzo flour and chia. I wonder how that would work.

Blog Post CommentThese actually made our Easter amazing this year Thank you all for posting it.

Blog Post CommentI wonder if we could use it to make a really good royal icing to decorate cookies and gingerbread houses?
-
Blog Post CommentYes you can! I'm part of a vegan meringue Facebook group--it's called Vegan Meringue Hits and Misses--and many people have posted successful royal icing recipes. Please try and share!

Blog Post CommentHi A. Wassell. . Welcome. What food allergies do you manage?
-
Blog Post CommentOoohh....I need to try that!

Blog Post Comment❤️I found that these seemed to always come put sticky, but putting them in a convection oven at 170° for an hour or so (or using a food dehydrator) helped make them crisp! Also, once you have the meringue ready, the quicker you get them all piped, the better they will hold their shape (the second batch seemed a bit flat). Thanks for posting this recipie, I wanted to make meringues that my boyfriend (who has an egg allergy) could eat, and everyone who has tried them has said they are good!
-
Blog Post CommentThanks for sharing those tips! I've found they feel a little sticky when they first come out of the oven, but then they are OK after they cool. The last time I made some, I flavored them with lemon extract. They were sooooo good and tasted like a lemon meringue pie cloud!

Blog Post CommentWelcome, Gillian! That was so sweet of you to come up with a safe recipe for your fellow! What kind of aquafaba did you use? If you need any other egg-free recipes, you can check out the Safe Eats ® Recipe Database . It's searchable by allergen.

Blog Post CommentThanks for the update! Our kids' allergist has given the ok for our kids to get their flu shots at our allergists office (and stay there for 30 min after).

Blog Post CommentHi Kathryn, Hope you are well. Thank you for publishing this vegan Pineapple cake recipe. It sure looks good. I need to attempt to make a gluten free version and will do so shortly but have one query. I noticed that there is no butter/margarine/oil in your recipe and wondered if this was being replaced by one of the other ingredients. Would welcome your confirmation so that I can proceed with making a gluten free version. Thnks. Have a lovely day. Cheers mork.

Blog Post Comment❤️Hi, Mork ... I'm not Kathryn, but I did want to share that many, many times, applesauce is used as a substitute for oil or butter in low fat muffins and quick breads. I know this because my daughter is allergic to apples and we have to be careful of any sort of low-fat muffin or quick bread. I'm also hoping that our resident GF baking guru Kathy P will see this and drop in with her suggestions. Do let us know how the cake turns out! You can either update us here, or you can post a new topic...

Blog Post Comment❤️Mork - do you have a gf flour mix in mind for this? This is a very "wet" recipe with the applesauce and pineapple with juice. You may need to increase the amount of flour to compensate for that. I've found that to be the case when converting recipes that are low fat and have a lot of liquid.
-
Blog Post CommentHi Kathy, Noted will use 140 gram GF flour blend for each cup of gluten flour, thank you for this advice. We do have our homemade GF mix blend but will not be using that this time as one of the ingredients, the new packet of potato starch, is suspect as there was some reaction earlier & needs to be retested. For this recipe will be using a store bought GF blend. Cheers. Have a joyful day.
-
Blog Post CommentHi Cynthia, Noted, that is useful info, so my earlier concern is not warranted. Thank you. Cheers, have a great day.
-
Blog Post CommentGood luck and let us know how it works. I've been wanting to try this recipe gf too, so definitely interested in what you learn.

Blog Post CommentBest Pineapple Cake ever!!!... and very simple!

Blog Post CommentThe Just Mayo label warns “May contain soy.” In my experience, this means that there is soy hidden in there somewhere. As in the Helman’s Canola Mayo which actually does have soy in it which is included under “natural flavors” on the label, it may be hidden under the “fruit and vegetable juice” in the label. So the search for Soy Free Mayo continues. Soy is in everything. When I was a child, no one ever heard of soy except in sauce or tofu in a Chinese restaurant. It is in everything for 2...
-
Blog Post CommentHi, Carla, and hugs on the frustration. Way to go on carefully reading the label! You may be on mobile and can't see the original date of this blog -- but it was in 2015. Just Mayo reformulated later on to add soy. I believe there is a soy-free mayo by Vegenaise . I'm not sure of the facility info, but no soy ingredients are listed in the soy-free variety. Look for the light green lid. I'm not sure of the rest of your allergy "avoids," so it may or may not be safe for your family. As always,...

Blog Post Comment❤️Honored to have helped you find this wonderful egg replacer. That frosting looks delicious!
-
Blog Post CommentI can't wait to try this!
-
Blog Post CommentLove it! I've been keeping a running list of egg white requiring recipes for a while, but a buttercream was not on my list. Thanks for a great article.
-
Blog Post CommentI just finished making this. The recipe does not say how quickly (or not) to add the cubes of oil, so I had to research a traditional recipe to verify that it's added slowly. I used butter since that's what I have on hand. The first few cubes looked good, then it started looking separated and curdled. It wasn't until the very end that it all finally came together. I don't know that I've ever tasted traditional swiss buttercream, but this tastes like light fluffy sweet butter. Great recipe - ...
-
Blog Post CommentI've had traditional egg white/butter Swiss meringue buttercream curdle like that and it's really stressful! I've had it curdle/separate bc it was too cold (whip longer til it comes together) and bc it was too warm (ice water soaked towels wrapped around my mixer bowl). Good to know that aquafaba will come back together if it curdles.

Blog Post CommentThe find a store for Just Mayo packets says they're available at my local walmart. Color me shocked I won't have to make a special trip
-
Blog Post Comment❤️do the just mayo packets require refrigeration? If not, this could be a very handy thing to be able to carry. I can see many uses. - tuna salad on the go -honey mustard dipping sauce. - packets of honey and mustard needed too. -just having mayo on a sandwich... yum!
-
Blog Post CommentThat's a good question - has anyone tried them? Are they in the refrig section or on the shelf?
-
Blog Post Comment❤️DS and I went to our walmart to look for them. We found Just Mayo - but only in the regular packaging, not the little travel packets. It was on the bottom shelf with the other mayos. Shelf stable until opened. The price is about 1/2 of Vegenaise so we bought one. DS likes it. DH and I have not tried it yet. I'm very excited for an egg free mayo I can purchase locally (nearest whole foods is 45min away) AND is half the cost. So we'll be keeping an eye out for the travel packets. I'll also be...

Blog Post CommentDh says he likes it better than vegenaise. I think it's more savory tasting - vegenaise is more sweet. I also discovered this is the company that appeared on an episode of Bizarre Eats. Still can't find the travel packets though - even in lexington walmarts. We'll keep an eye out though.
-
Blog Post CommentOoh, I found a clip of the show ! This only shows him tasting it and nothing else about the company though.

Blog Post CommentWe continue to be told that the flu vaccine is perfectly safe for those with egg allergies, yet they must go to a medical facility to receive it. If it were just as safe my child could get the shot with me at CVS.
-
Blog Post Comment❤️@Deb Cip - the AAP, AAAAI and ACAAI have removed the increased precautions ( like vaccine testing, extra observation or being done in an allergist’s office). The CDC is has relaxed their recommendation to remove some extra precautions, but are still recommending a medical facility able to treat an allergic reaction. It's always best to discuss with your own doctor to get their recommendation based on your child's history.

Blog Post CommentKathy P. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it. Again, common sense is simple. If we must go to a medical facility because there is a risk of allergic reaction for my child with egg allergies, there is still a risk posed to him that is not there for those of us without egg allergies. It really is very simple. I'm pro vaccine but this is clearly a push for everyone to receive the flu vaccination
