Helpful tips from my kitchen

For those who were wondering, 1/4 cup of applesauce or half a banana can substitute for 1 egg in a baking recipe. 2 tbs of cornstarch will also do the trick. The awesome thing about this is that these substitutions are cheaper than a dozen eggs and are lower in cholesterol! Applesauce is also a good substitute for oil in most baked goods.

1 quart of almond milk is slightly cheaper than cow's milk, and can be stored unopened and unrefrigerated MUCH longer than cow's milk lasts in the fridge. By much longer, I mean...A YEAR (compare expiration dates)! It may also be used in any recipe that calls for cow's milk. Once opened though, it lasts about as long as cow's milk.

ok-is this the jennifer i just met at church today? i just saw your blog off of lee anne's blog, and i love it! i will be reading it if that's ok! i especially enjoyed the post about biblical womanhood-a favorite topic of mine as well. hits so close to home for me! i was raised by a single mom who had to work 8-5 every day and am now totally unprepared for this life that the LORD has blessed me with, but he said, "Here you go!" anyway, and i'm so thankful!

Lindsay, I'm glad you found me (yes, I'm the Jennifer you met), and that you like what you've read! Biblical womanhood has definitely become one of my favorite topics, and I'm just in AWE of how many blogs/websites there are about it! At some point, soon, I'm going to post the links to some of my favorite websites, so be on the look out!
