  1. Thanks for the recipes I’m not a vegan, though I have HUGE respect those who are. However, I do have a lot of food allergies. I can't eat milk, eggs, nuts, seafood and some fruits, so that leaves pretty much all deserts out of the question during holidays.
    I am constantly looking for recipes that don't require the use of milk or eggs. I have tried some readymade deserts from whole foods, but some are bland, and buying them can get kind of expensive. I find most delicious (and cheap) are the home made recopies. but sometimes I do have a hard time finding cookie and cake recipes that are milk, egg, and nut free.
    Your recipe for oatmeal cookies sounds delicious and easy and I definitely will have to try it.
    Can the baking instructions on the vegan website?

    I never thought to look at a vegan website for recipes that are milk and egg free. But now, I think im going to go there whenever I’m in a baking mood.
