Say Goodbye To Stink Bugs With This Easy And Powerful DIY Repellent
Story by Alia Hoyt
Stink bugs might not be able to sting a person, but that still doesn't make them ideal houseguests. In fact, they produce a liquid pheromone that not only smells terrible (like rotting fruit) but can also cause people to have allergic reactions like itchy, watery eyes, stuffy nose, a wheezing cough, and more. However, an essential oil or two is all it takes to repel these unattractive little guys away from your home.
Stink bugs have turned into quite the problem for farmers in the United States, as the invasive pest loves to nosh on a variety of crops and pretty much ruin them. Because of this, homes near farms are at greater risk for stink bugs to show up uninvited. The smartest thing to do if you know that stink bugs are hanging around is to keep doors and windows firmly shut so that they don't wander in. Ideally, couple those preventative measures with a DIY stink bug repellant, which can

Oreo Filling Ideas
For the filling for this keto oreo chaffle, we simply whipped some heavy cream and smeared it between the two chaffles. However, there are a ton of other ways you could fill your keto oreo chaffles.
You could consider making:
• A buttercream frosting – 2 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp powdered sweetener, 1/4 tsp vanilla
• or,
• A cream cheese frosting – 2 tbsp cream cheese, 1 tbsp powdered sweetener, 1/4 tsp vanilla
• ChocZero’s Hazelnut Spread – If you’re a true chocolate lover, there is nothing better!
Variations To This Recipe
Just like the frosting, there are endless ways in which you can customize this recipe.
If you want to change the chaffle itself, consider:
• Swapping out coconut flour for almond flour. Coconut flour does not have a 1:1 ratio to almond flour though, so be careful! Generally, 1 part coconut flour is equal to about 3 parts almond flour.

Parmesan lemon roasted cauliflower is one of our favorite ways to cook cauliflower. Roasting brings out cauliflowers’ natural sweetness. Topped with parmesan cheese and fresh lemon, this is a lovely side dish (even for those that may not be cauliflower fans).

Roasted broccoli is a classic recipe and one you need to have in your back pocket. I’m not the biggest fan of broccoli, but this broccoli with lemon is one of my favorite foods! Try our version with roasted lemon wedges. The lemon becomes a little sweet, and the broccoli tastes terrific with some of the roasted lemon juice squeezed on top. For other variations like garlic, parmesan, or herby roasted broccoli, see the article above for our tips (temperature and timing will be the same).

Here’s how to make the best baked French fries that are tender in the middle, caramelized, and crisp on the outside. Don’t skip soaking the rinsed and cut fries before baking them. Soaking the cut fries in cold water helps to remove excess starch from the potatoes. When you bake fries without soaking them in water, they tend to stick to each other and the baking sheet. They also bake up to be gummy and don’t crisp as well. Soak the fries for at least 30 minutes. If you want to do this step in advance, soak the fries in cold water in the refrigerator overnight.

I love these homemade light and crispy waffles. Cornstarch is the secret to crispy waffles. It guarantees that your waffles will be perfectly crisp and tender. Separating the egg is optional but is recommended (especially for deeper waffle irons).
This recipe makes 4 standard waffles (1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick). If you want to make thicker Belgian waffles or use a deep waffle iron, you will get closer to three waffles using our recipe below.

Avocado toast may be the latest food trend, but vegans and Californians who love avocado have been adding avocado to sandwiches, toasts, and wraps for decades. So if you're looking for the perfect way to make an avocado wrap vegan, or use up some leftover guacamole, this wrap sandwich may be one delicious way to do so. Try this vegan California-style avocado hummus wrap recipe. It's loaded with hummus, avocado, alfalfa sprouts, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
Here's the perfect way to make a simple avocado wrap for lunch. You can use vegan cream cheese in your wrap if you would like a creamier experience, but the hummus, which is a popular Middle Eastern spread made from chickpeas, tahini, garlic and olive oil, tastes really great alongside the avocado. Feel free add some pickles or pickle relish as well.

How Long Does Avocado Egg Salad Last?
Enjoy your egg salad with avocado the day you make it. It will last in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days, but any longer, the avocado will start to brown. We don’t recommend freezing.

What else makes this fudge “healthy”?
Along with its higher protein content, Michelle’s recipe has zero added sugar. Instead of white sugar—which is what most brownie recipes call for—Michelle swaps in more natural sweeteners, including banana and maple syrup. Bananas are a great source of potassium and other vitamins. And maple syrup has more minerals and antioxidants than refined sugar.
She also uses almond milk as a vegan and plant-based alternative to dairy milk. Almond milk is lower in calories than regular milk. It also contains a decent amount of vitamin E, which can help reduce inflammation.
