LOL, I agree on the margarine.
I am now looking for something to substitute for butter, for when I bake. I used to love to bake cookies. I’d like something better than the old fashioned margarine.
I didn’t have much time to read the labels in the butter-margarine isle this morning. I bet there is some non-butter stuff I can bake with occassionally.
I wonder what Crisco has in it? Or if it’s just too unhealthy to use. Hmmm.
I will have lots of time after my spring season with the greenhouse is over in June, to look for substitutes for eggs and butter in cooking and baking.
I would miss making brownies (has eggs) and cookies (butter and eggs).
I bet there are websites devoted to allergen free recipes for different allergen free needs.
Hey, congrats on the awesome cholesterol drop!!!
There is dairy free margarine on the market (don't remember the name tho) and you can replace, in most cookie recipes, 50% of the oil, butter, crisco, or margarine, with applesauce or strained baby prunes (no, it doesn't change taste or ladies room visits..lol). I use Butter Buds but they have dehydrated butter in them. I have no idea how that would affect your allergy.
In cakes or sweet breads I replace the full amount and works just fine.
Really good to hear you have finally found some relief. I wish you luck in your search for replacements.
