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 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
-
Blog Post Comment❤️Hi To give additional context, the CDC has not updated several publications yet on vaccinations. That doesn't necessarily mean they don't agree - they just may move slower. For the past 6 years, we have seen this to be the case specifically with this egg allergy / flu vaccine issue. The health organizations update their recommendations first based on current research, and the CDC follows within a year or two. All major allergy organizations and the American Academy of Pediatrics all agree...

Blog Post CommentIt's so great to see research for egg allergy!
-
Blog Post Comment❤️How do I use it? To use VeganEgg, follow the instructions on the package to mix the powder with ice cold water. For example, here are the directions for using VeganEgg to make a scramble: Whisk or blend 2 level tablespoons of VeganEgg per ½ cup of ice cold water until smooth. Heat a lightly-oiled skillet to medium-high. Pour the mixture into the skillet. The "egg" should sizzle in pan. IMMEDIATELY begin to scramble. Use a spatula to stir frequently and evenly scramble the mixture until eggs...

Blog Post CommentHi, is there a typo in this summary? I may just be tired, but I don't see how this reflects a risk reduction (at all, let alone 67%): Thanks, Naomi However, when the authors evaluated the infants that were able to maintain the study protocol by eating these foods consistently each week, they did find a significant difference in rates of food allergy: - 4% in the early introduction group versus - 3% in the standard group On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 3:39 PM, Kids With Food Allergies <...

Blog Post CommentUpdate: We fixed a coding error to correct this section above: However, when the authors evaluated the infants that were able to maintain the study protocol by eating these foods consistently each week, they did find a significant difference in rates of food allergy: 2.4% in the early introduction group versus 7.3% in the standard group

Blog Post CommentThis definitely sounds exciting. My heartfelt thanks to the people at Follow Your Heart. However, I didnt find this on amazon yet. Btw, it would be helpful if some more nutritional information is included like how much fat, protein etc. Though I am not good at nutrition, I have seen "Carrageenan" in a negative light in nutrition blogs in general. Is this a concern? Can anybody throw some light?
-
Blog Post CommentI'm just now seeing this - very exciting! I'll have to keep an eye out for it. goodsammy - I have seen some comments and discussion about carrageenan, but it's not something I have researched.
-
Blog Post CommentWow! I am very excited to try this out! I am more interested it trying it out as an egg replacer in things like brownies (which are difficult to make without eggs) than as actual scrambled eggs. I am pretty sure Eli would not touch anything that looked like an egg! I noticed that Amazon is not selling it yet but did find it at Vegan Essentials : https://store.veganessentials....our-heart-p4615.aspx They are sold out but are getting more in soon.

Blog Post CommentCarrageenan is being removed from many non-dairy milks now because of consumer demand. So Delicious has removed it from many of their products and I believe will be removing it from all products eventually. I believe it is a possible carcinogen made from seaweed and also causes gastrointestinal distress for some. It gives me a headache if I have too much of it. Here is more information about carrageenan: http://www.cornucopia.org/wp-c...rageenan-Report1.pdf
-
Blog Post CommentCarrageenan is allowed in infant formulas in the US, one of the most closely scrutinized & regulated substances for sale. "Nutrition blogs" give me the heebie-jeebies b/c they don't have to back anything they say up - they just make their site look pretty, say what they want & rumors spread like wildfire. Very few people go digging for peer-reviewed journal articles to back up what they've read. The citations I've seen about carrageenan studies have all been done on animals. That's...

Blog Post Comment@goodsammy Were you able to find this egg replacer?

File CommentThank you! We use white Betty Crocker frosting and mix in Betty Crocker's green food coloring. We are pn/tn/egg - avoid shared lines (we ideally prefer to avoid pn/tn facilities). We personally feel comfortable with their labeling. Of course, it is always best to call for yourself as everyone has different comfort levels.
