Or am I wishing for the impossible? :(

I've adjusted pretty well to the whole no gluten/soy/dairy/eggs cooking... but every now and then I just run into something I can't figure out a way to substitute.

Anyone have experience making a good cake icing this way? Suggestions to try?

It's not exactly heathly but the Open Original Shared Link will work. At the bottom there is a note for pure white icing that uses shortening and water. You can add cocoa for chocolate frosting. Spectrum Palm Oil Shortening is gluten, dairy, soy and egg free.

I was going to suggest a buttercream made with Spectrum Shortening, also. The recipe on the Domino 10x sugar box works very well with the Spectrum. For chocolate, add 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder--I use Nestle's.

Patti, Janet... thanks!

Healthy? Pff! Since when is icing supposed to be healthy anyways! ;)

I'll be trying this tonight!

LOL! Yes, the whole is it healthy question kind of goes out the window when you can only eat 12 things! BTW the Cause You're Special cake mixes are awesome. I am pretty sure you can use egg substitute.

I second this! They are my favorite cake mixes. I make the Yellow into a spice cake sometimes.

Icing or frosting? For icing, you can just use powdered sugar, vanilla and liquid of your choice to get to the right consistancy-water, juice, etc...

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
