Some recipes I've collected... Many of these are milk and egg free since our son was allergic to them or corn free since our oldest daughter doesn't seem to tolerate it well. We have now collected recipes with many other allergens since our youngest, Sara, was allergic/sensitive to many many foods.  I have also included substitutions for milk and eggs to be used in other recipes (or to use backwards if you wish!) and common terms for milk, eggs and corn (and their derivatives), wheat, and soy that you may not be aware of. I got some of these from other websites, some from the Food Allergy Network and some from talking with others who have the same obstacles. If you see something that needs to be added or changed please send me a note!  I hope this can help someone else who is not able to tolerate these foods for whatever reason!
P.S.  the great side effect of no eggs in your batter is that you can eat it RAW! guilt free!!!  (well, almost)

substitutions

For milk substitutions use water, juice, soy milk, rice milk in equal parts.  Applesauce can replace butter in baked goods.  Also look for dairy free margarines. 

For each egg, substitute one of the following in recipes:
* 1 tsp baking powder, 1 Tbsp liquid, 1 Tbsp vinegar
* 1 tsp yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water
* I Tbsp of apricot puree
* 1 1/2 Tbsp water, 1 1/2 Tbsp oil, 1 tsp baking powder
* 1 packet plain gelatin, 2 Tbsp warm water. Do not mix until ready to use.
* EnerG egg replacer per package recommendation

I recommend if there are more than 2 eggs, determine what purpose the egg serves in the recipe and use an appropriate combo of the above egg substitutes.
