I know I have a blueberry coffee cake recipe … um, somewhere. Where the heck did it go? Aw, never mind. I’ll just Google.
I’m glad I did, because the new one I conjured up went …

Sometimes it really is this easy.
Aside from the soda-pop cake, though, it’s usually not this easy in the world of egg-free baking. That’s why I eyed the recipe my mom had clipped from a magazine …

This egg-free version only vaguely resembles the original Martha Stewart recipe, which is described as biter-biscuit hard. That’s a good thing, because I’ve spent too much on dental work of late to crack a crown …

It turns out that even an ugly cobbler still tastes pretty dang good.
I found that out this week when I doubled this recipe and made it in a small roaster to take to a pot …

This is another fine mess that Club Penguin and my big mouth got me into.
There’s one section of the online community where kids can earn “money” by making pizza – decidedly strange pizza, with ingredients …

I thought this was going to be a stumper that involved a week of failed kitchen experiments: Create an egg-free brownie recipe that tastes good but is stable enough to survive a trip to Afghanistan …

Sometimes, it’s not that hard to spend a few extra minutes to get rid of some dye and high-fructose corn syrup.
Such is the case with this cake filling recipe. You could easily open a can …

Warning: This recipe makes a lot. A whole lot. Do not even attempt it without a two-pound bread machine.
That’s because I hate making pizza crust. It’s strictly a maintenance thing for me – every Monday …

Big Guy was not going to like banana bread at all. At least, that’s what he told me when he saw me reach for loaf pans instead of muffin tins last weekend.
“Why don’t you just …

In part because I live in a place where egg replacer isn’t readily available and in part because I’m tired of toting ingredients when I’m on the road, I’ve been experimenting lately with baking with …

It took Big Guy a while to work up the nerve to trust a chocolate cookie after his heart-breaking disappointment at the chocolate-espresso drops I made at Christmas. He even made Boots try them first, …

I don’t like green beans. At all.
I don’t despise them, though, in the “want to spit it out immediately” way that I hate lima beans. Green beans are just boring.
I cook them anyway, in part …

How many ways can I screw up a recipe and still have it turn out OK?
At least three in the case of this one, and it turned out more than OK plus lower fat to …

Usually I don’t bother messing with a good thing, and Rosemarie Emro’s pumpkin pie recipe in her most-excellent “Bakin’ Without Eggs” is perfect as far as I’m concerned. Don’t make the version with extra brown …

Sour cream is a magic potion when it comes to egg-free baking. It has the fat needed to replace part of the missing egg, plus the “sour” part seems to help leavening as well.
That’s why …

It’s not necessarily odd that I’d never made snickerdoodles before tonight.
What is odd, though, is that I’d never had one until a couple of years ago, when someone brought some into work for a potluck. …

Were it not for the fact that I’m incapable of rolling pretty little round logs of cookie dough, this might be the perfect recipe. It’s easy to make, has no hard-to-find egg replacers, and two …

Yes, there is such a thing as a cookie that’s too chocolate-y. I thought that was impossible, too, until today.
Based on a recipe from Martha Stewart’s Web site, the egg-free version behaves perfectly. It’s just …

Yes, it is possible to get sick of chocolate. And after making chocolate fudge, chocolate-raspberry fudge and chocolate cookies, I’d reached that point.
So I decided to give haystacks a try. But definitely not the chocolate …

Pardon me for the mistake in the headline – most people do not spell “pumpkin” c-a-r-r-o-t. We do in this house, though, especially when Mom’s craving carrot cake and she needs a way to convince …

This recipe is another adult coupe against the kids – Mom’s sick of ranch dressing again.
I knew making it would mean Big Guy would resume his salad boycott, so we might have to become a …

Rarely do I make a recipe so revolting to the rest of the house that no one else will touch it. That was the case with this zucchini bread, but the heck with them. I …

Once upon a time, in a land about 370 miles away, there was a donut shop that didn’t use egg or peanut oil. That made Big Guy very happy, because it allowed him to enjoy …

You know that old ditty about screaming for ice cream? It’s a good thing my daily newsletter from Feels Like Home lands while the guys still are awake, or there would have been no getting …

This is another fine recipe inspired by sheer boredom: I wanted salad for dinner this evening and I’m deathly tired of Big Guy’s favorite ranch dressing.
Not that I’m complaining, mind you. At least he’s eating …

For some reason, the guys have been clamoring for strawberry cake for about the past month.
They’d never had strawberry cake before in their lives, but I guess the assumption was, we love strawberries and we …

Lemon and I just don’t seem to get along.
It’s not that I don’t have a deep love for it. It’s just that every time I try to convert a lemon recipe to egg-free it results …

This is going to be one of those recipes that lands me in trouble some afternoon when one of the guys asks, “But didn’t you just make cookies yesterday?”
Oops. You see, guys, sometimes around 2 …

If at first you don’t succeed, try chocolate again.
Frustrated after two failed attempts at a lemon layer cake – the second formulation still fell, but at least the oven didn’t catch fire – I grabbed …

This is another fine mess Madhuram at egglesscooking.com has gotten me into.
Here I was, rolling along in my little egg-replacer rut when she throw a curve at me:  This month’s egg-free baking challenge is using …

Pssst … Did you hear the one about the egg-free cake with all the height, structure and texture of the original? It’s no longer just an urban legend.
I wouldn’t have believed it either had I …

Not that there’s anything wrong with basic buttercream – Big Guy actually prefers it, making his “ick” face when first exposed to this recipe.
But I have a low boredom threshold and like to play around. …

Big Guy is world-famous for not liking much that’s healthful, but he’ll always eat strawberries.
That means he also loves this cake filling, which is another ladycakes.com recipe that predates allergies. He doesn’t love it quite …

Christmas-baking burnout lasted a little longer than usual this go-round. By the time Boots was begging for cookies Saturday, it’s been going on six weeks since I’d last seen an Air Bake.
At least I think …

Tonight’s winner in Cookbook Bingo: Russian dressing.
I’d never had Russian dressing before, and I don’t think Dad had either. But it was among the paper-clipped pages he’d marked in “Joy of Cooking,” which is how …

Once in a while, I run into a recipe that I keep around strictly for practical purposes. Such is the case with this one.
Aside from the stock reason – that it’s a great frosting-delivery platform …

The time might seem to have passed for cranberry bars, but that particular season never ends in this house. At least not for me.
I chug the juice by the gallon and start hording fresh berries …

If you think cheesy ranch chicken sounds a lot like last week’s Chex Mix recipe, you would be correct.
The Chex Parmesan-dressing mix combination, plus desperation, was the source of my inspiration on this one.
The guys, …
