                                        From Living Without (August/September 2008, p.62)

                                        Buttermilk, replace 1 cup with one of the following:
                                        1 cup soy milk + 1 Tablespoon lemon juice or 1 Tablespoon white vinegar (let stand until slightly thickened.)
                                        1 cup coconut milk
                                        7/8 cup rice milk
                                        7/8 cup fruit juice
                                        7/8 cup water

                                        Yogurt, replace 1 cup with one of the following:
                                        1 cup soy yogurt
                                        1 cup soy sour cream
                                        1 cup unsweetened applesauce
                                        1 cup fruit puree

                                        Butter, replace 8 Tablespoons (1 stick) with one of the following:
                                        8 Tablespoons (1 stick) Fleischmann's unsalted margarine
                                        8 Tablespoons Earth Balance (non-dairy) Buttery Spread
                                        8 Tablespoons Spectrum Organic Shortening
                                        8 Tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
                                        6 Tablespoons unsweetened applesauce + 2 Tablespoons fat of choice (reduce fat option)

                                        Eggs, replace 1 large egg with one of the following:
                                        (Replacing more than two eggs will change the integrity of a recipe. For recipes that call for a lot of eggs, like a quiche, use pureed silken tofu. Because egg substitutions add moisture, you may have to increase baking times slightly.)
                                        3 Tablespoons unsweetened applesauce (or other fruit puree) + 1 teaspoon baking powder
                                        1 Tablespoon flax meal + 3 Tablespoons hot water. (Let stand, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or until thick. Do not strain.)
                                        Egg Replacer
                                        4 Tablespoons pureed silken tofu + 1 teaspoon baking powder
                                        Note: To replace one egg white, dissolve 1 Tablespoon plain agar powder into 1 Tablespoon water. Beat, chill for 15 minutes and beat again.

                                        Nuts, replace tree nuts or peanuts with an equal amount of one of the following:
                                        Toasted coconut
                                        Sunflower seeds
                                        Toasted sesame seeds (use only 2-3 Tablespoons)
                                        Crushed cornflakes
                                        Crushed crispy rice cereal
                                        Crushed potato chips
                                        Perky's Nutty Rice cereal
                                        Pumpkin seeds
