Vegan Egg Substitute for Baking

Wanna make your pies without using eggs? To hold stuff together the way eggs do, use flaxseed. Grind flax seeds and substitute like so:  1 egg = 1 Tbsp of ground flaxseed + 3 Tbsp water

Let it sit for a few and it will become gooey, like eggs.  Note: Don’t use for meringue (whipped egg whites) as flaxseed won’t foam. But feel free to add to pancakes and other stuff that doesn’t need to be whipped into foam!


Fetco: Eco-Friendly Picture Frames

Browsing through the home decor section while Christmas shopping, I found some lovely wood picture frames by Fetco International – and they were eco-conscious.  According to the statement on the frame, Fetco only makes their wood frames (the line is called Eco Wood  and is available at Amazon.com) from renewable resources (this was a plaintain tree) and, for every tree they used, the company planted another one in its place. Nice.


Zero VOC Paint | Eco-Friendly And Beautiful

For those of us who love to re-decorate and re-paint rooms in our homes often, this tip is so amazing! I just finished painting my bedroom with Benjamin Moore’s virtually orderless paint line called Natura.  Finally, we can breathe easily while painting beautiful colors with paint that is good for the environment and nontoxic for us. It dried up in 30 minutes. I was so happy with the results.  www.benjaminmoore.com/natura
