Eggs. Do we realize how often we use them in our baking and cooking? Aside from any breakfast dish or casserole, I wonder if we comprehend just how often we’re cracking shells and dropping yolks into our dough’s and batters. Think about it, when was the last time you baked or cooked something that didn’t call for eggs? Truth be told, we use eggs far more than we may realize.
So what happens when the cost of eggs rises, when the grocery store egg shelves run bare, or when you get the news that you must remove eggs from your diet? What do you do? How do you replace such an essential ingredient for nearly every recipe you have? I’ll tell you how, in three words. Flax Seed Meal.
