Food substitutions...my favorite so far

MauraCy · August 2014

So I love eggs benedicts but haven't had any because I like to make fresh hollandaise, which is pretty much raw egg egg yolks. I just found this awesome recipe for avocado hollandaise and made it this morning. It's pretty damn close, almost better! I did half the olive oil and a little melted butter instead....mmmmm butter! I have been eating poached eggs, but cooking them longer so the yolk is almost solid (if they're under that I still eat them

). This brings back all that creamy deliciousness of a really runny yolk! I might just make this instead of the real deal after pregnancy! So excited thought I would share:

What other substitutions has everyone else been making that are as good or better than the real deal?

Oh! I've been craving eggs Benedict since I got pregnant, and haven't eaten it because of the runny yolk and hollandaise sauce, I think I might try this! Thank you for posting this!

I use avocado as a replacement for fat in recipes a lot (pudding, ice cream, brownies), but not just because I'm pregnant. Since I'm diabetic, I make a lot of modified recipes that are higher in healthy fats and fiber and lower in carbs. Nut butters, almond flour, and coconut flour are some of my go-to ingredients. I can't really think of anything I've had to switch up too much for pregnancy, though.

So last pregnancy I had a major craving for cookie dough. Couldnt have it though because of the eggs. I found a recipe that was eggless just for snacking on. Its exactly the same as a regular cookie dough recipe but you add a little milk instead of eggs. Soo yummy.
