No thank you for playing!!
I need some tips on how to organize the recipes that are submitted. I want to have all of the recipes saved on my blog somewhere but I can’t figure out the best way to do it. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have a tip! Try palm oil! I was amazed at the health properties when i discovered this healthy alternative to transfat. And I found it all at http://www.palmoiltruthfoundation.com. Check it out - they’ve got some really excellent recipes, too!!

Those salads looks awesome!
I’ve read that you can grind up/shred veggies in things like spaghetti sauce, but I have yet to try it. Our oldest inspects everything and refuses to even eat anything red, so that’s out for me. I am anxious to see other tips!

I have a tip concerning egg substitutions. The best substitution I have found is 1 Tbsp whole ground flaxseed meal mixed with 3 Tbsp warm water, left to sit for one minute, then stirred again. This equals one egg and works well in cakes and muffins. I used it for almond butter/chocolate chip cookies and they turned out alright,but you might want to try something else for cookies. The health benefit is that you are still getting omega3 fatty acids, but with less cholesterol than you would get from eggs. Plus my son is allergic to eggs, so that’s why I do it.
You can also use an egg-replacer like Ener-G egg replacer, but I don’t care for the taste it gives things and it is a bit unreliable. One last egg replacer is 1 tsp of arrowroot powder, 1 Tbsp water, and a pinch of baking powder, which mixed together, equals one egg.
There is no way to substitute eggs in cheesecake, custards, puddings, and curds. At least not that I have found.
