Eggs and Vinegar

I'm sure there are many culinary delights that could be made with the use of vinegar and eggs. Alone or together...but I have chosen to go another route. What you may ask? My hair wash! Yup, you read right. I finally did it last night. I had been reading over at www.inashoe.com/ about her trials with going w/o the shampoo and conditioner. She has been using baking soda and apple cider vinegar for a rinse, but found that her hair would still get a bit greasy after a couple of days. So a reader suggested eggs. Well we've been using organic shampoo and conditioner for quite awhile and it does get pricey! When we first switched. I cut way back on washing my hair.

Frugal Friday

Well it's Frugal Friday again! Yippee! I saved at CVS!!! I paid $1.98 cash, used $4 off of $20 store coupon and $16 in ECB's. I got $22 in merchandise and $16 in ECB's in return! My Husband stood by amazed and bewildered (and I can't remember when the last time was that I saw him that way!).

Well I figured that would be a great egg substitute! I used: 1 tablespoon ground flax seed 2 to 3 tablespoons warm water Mix well, add as you would an egg! They turned out great! One of my older girls and I tried it in the cupcakes we made for Bright Lights! They are great too! I just want them out of our home quickly! Praise the Lord. He never ceases to come to aid. Even in the smallest of needs!
