Food allergies and sensitivies

It seems that food allergies and sensitivities are sadly more prominent.  No one is more sympathetic towards those who fit in this category than myself!  I love foods of all kinds and really feel for those who cannot tolerate certain ones...

So, I would like to start offering some various recipes for those who require eggless, gluten-free, lactose-free, etc.  Stay tuned for Eggless Cake and other yummies...
