I use Spectrum brand shortening, which the only ingredient is organic palm oil, so much better than Crisco or something. It's not in many recipes I use anyway, but a few.

I also use a powdered egg replacer, Ener-G is the most common brand. Or 1/4 c silken tofu for 1 egg. Most times I just use vegan recipes to begin with so I don't have to worry about what to sub in, so much easier that way!
