Looks like the apple sauce is an egg replacement, so the equivalent amount of any other egg replacement should do the trick. The recipe calls for half a cup, which is two eggs, so 2x any of the following (I'd say mashed banana is the closest one to apple sauce):

Yes, good call...I didn't even think about the egg. It is a great chart! [emoji4]

That sounds nice. I'm looking forward to hearing about the cake.

I ended up using a modified version of this recipe instead: Strawberry streusel cake | CASA Veneracion
The vegweb picture looked dry and their only review confirmed that's how it came out. Anyway, this one came out delicious. I used a layer of glazed strawberry filling I made instead of chunks of strawberries, replaced the egg with banana, and used Earth Balance in place of the butter.

I wanted to put it on a nice plate, but wasn't sure if it would fall apart when I took it out of the pan. She didn't mind, it tasted just as good from the pan.

It certainly does look delicious. Moreover, you made the right decision to use strawberry conserve.

Your room mate must have been delighted wit her treat.

That looks delicious, Calliegirl. Well done!

Hello!

So when a recipe calls for some kind of flour that it gluten free, and I don't necessarily need it to be gluten free, can I just use regular flour? Will I have to make any other kind of adjustments to the recipe to compensate for the fact that I am using a wheat-based flour?

 

[KLS52]

And...my first two batches of home made vegan butter kind of separated upon hardening so there are small lumps of coconut oil in there. Is it possible to melt the butter and use it in a recipe that calls for oil?

No adjustments are necessary.

I've never had mine separate, but I use it to sautee things all the time. I've all but stopped using vegetable oil..

I had some unrefined organic coconut oil go bad. It lost it's coconut smell, and had some greenish bits on the bottom of the jar-I presume mold?
I used it to make my deoderant with corn starch and baking soda but it separated. I think I'll just pitch it

I would say that it all depends on what you're making. You could very well make desserts with it.

If you're boiling spaghetti in a pan that's a bit too small, do you a) just let the spaghetti stick out of the water until the submerged part gets so soft that it bends by itself and eventually everything is in the water, or b) do you use a fork to push the bits sticking out into the water as soon as the submerged parts are getting just a little bit soft and bendy?

The latter.

 

[KLS52]

I use a utensil to push the spaghetti into the pan.
But mostly, I break the spaghetti in half so it fits...blasphemy!

The first batches of vegan butter went pretty fast. this last one has hung around a while, and I'm finding little spots of what I've determined is mold. First I thought maybe broccoli bits or something, but I'm finding them within.
Any opinions on this? It's been used with no ill effects. I never know what to think about mold or fungus like that. I had the remainer of a non refined coconut oil get fungi or something and got rid of that
WHat does mold like that do if you eat it?

 

[KLS52]

I had one batch get real moldy. I didn't even try to salvage it. I don't think I've ever eaten mold, that I know of, anyway. I will eat things with tiny bits of mold but I always cut away the mold first.

 

[KLS52]

So, apparently I've been very lucky. I often eat bread that has started to grow mold, thinking that if I cut the molding part off that it would be OK. Guess I won't be doing that anymore.
What if you eat moldy bread?

I also eat things I probably shouldn't, without getting sick. I've never tried to cut as much mold as in the pictures, but some spots on the crust I do. If strawberries are still firm surrounding one or two moldy ones I'll eat those.
Some people are extremely allergic to mycoproteins. Quorn has made many sick, others love it. I wonder if it's more an allergic reaction?

Yes, it does seem like it could be. I love Quorn products...wish the vegan versions were more readily available. I did get the tenders, once, and they're not as good but I would use them if I could find them.

I want to bring tempeh sausage balls to a work pot luck and want an easy glaze for them. I keep running across a recipe that combines grape jelly and chili sauce that gets baked over meatballs.
Anyone ever had this? It must be pretty popular. I can't imagine it, but thats what all the comments say-and they like it!
It's either that or a pre-made hot pepper jelly- unless anyone has another suggestion?

 

[KLS52]

I've never had a glaze with grape jelly and chili sauce. It doesn't sound quite right but when I googled it did come up a few times. I prefer more of a sweet n sour sauce. I like to use apricot jam/preserves or pineapple, thinned out a bit with a little water. I've done that with Tofurky sausages...slice them up and simmer in a pan with the preserves. I've never done a glaze for meatballs, though.
