One of the great things about social media is that you see a lot of recipes that look delicious. However, some of these come with their own fun problems. Make sure that you look the recipe over for anything you may be allergic to with an eye for substitutions.
Diabetics should be wary of "sugar-free" recipes. They may be made with no sugar whatsoever, but that's because some of the ingredients have more than enough. Yes, people have included ingredients such as apple sauce, chocolate chips, and molasses for so-called "sugar-free" recipes.
Eggs are another potential issue as recipes use them as a default binding agent to keep the ingredient in one piece. You may want to check out such options as chickpeas (which when ground to paste does a wonderful job) as well as tahini, or an oil made from sesame seeds.
If you have gluten allergies don't panic when you see recipes that require wheat flour. Just substitute corn or soy flour instead. Suffice to say that you may want to play with them ahead of time to see how they taste or look for your recipes.
When you see meat in a recipe ask your self if the meat brings something needed to the recipe before making a substitute. Sometimes the grease from meat actually makes the recipe work, and it's virtually impossible to replicate using vegetarian ingredients.
