The next time you open a can of garbanzo beans, don't throw away the water in the can. The fiber-rich water is actually a fantastic plant-based egg replacer for baking. It's called "aquafaba," and it can be used in a variety of recipes. To replace one egg when baking, use 3 tablespoons of aquafaba. You can soak dried chickpeas and use the residual water as aquafaba, too.

When it comes to composting, organic matter like vegetable and fruit peels are great items to add to your bin. But when it comes to citrus peels from fruit like lemons and oranges, it's best to minimize the amount you put into the compost. Since all-natural pesticides often use citrus oil, adding citrus can actually inhibit worms from thriving in your compost. Scatter citrus peels around the bin to let them degrade and to act as a natural pest repellent.

An infestation of insects in your home does not mean you need to call the exterminator or reach for chemical bug sprays. What you should do is figure out the food source of the infestation. Cleaning up spills or finding out where insects are entering your home is the best first measure. Seal cracks and do a thorough cleaning to see if that fixes the problem. If that doesn't work, look into all-natural repellents instead of chemical sprays.
