Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water
