*How to make Flax Eggs:

1. Mix 3 T ground organic flaxseed meal with scant ½ cup water. This equals 1 egg.
2. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Use in place of eggs for baking. You won’t get as much rise as eggs. But the flax eggs do help hold everything together.

**How to make Garlic Infused Oil:

1. Pour 2 cups of extra virgin olive oil, ghee, or coconut oil into a pot.
2. Warm the oil gently (don’t let it overheat).
3. Add 6 cloves of garlic, peeled and halved.
4. Add garlic to the oil, turn off the heat, and let sit for 30 minutes.
5. Strain into a clean jar, making sure to remove all garlic pieces. A mesh strainer can be helpful.
6. Pour leftover oil into ice cube trays to freeze. Then store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
