  2. I find it so handy to have all these substitutions in one place rather than searching all over for things! I try to update it whenever I find something that works.

    1. Thanks! I found I was always searching for the same substitutions and thought this would make life a lot easier if I just put everything in one place. I never knew eggs could be substituted for applesauce...interesting!
