This is one of the recipes I found (and tweaked) when we were avoiding a lot of foods and continue to use on a regular basis. The flax/water combination is a substitute for 1 egg, we continue to use it because it works really well and is better for us. BTW- for some reason Blogger will not let me fix the spacing on this post, I know it is kind of crazy.

Emory has learned to pedal her tricycle! She has known how for a little while now, she still isn't perfectly consistent with it, but hey, she's only two. We live in a very quiet cul-de-sac, which is the perfect place to practice.
Today we went to get her helmet because I want wearing it to be a habit that starts early. She saw the baskets right next to the helmet display and begged for one. Abby Cadabby has a basket on her tricycle because she needs a place to keep her wand. As you can see, Emory has her wand in her basket.
