Eggs are Expensive!
Egg prices can fluctuate due to a variety of factors, such as supply and demand, feed costs, and avian influenza outbreaks. Additionally, the cost of production can also play a role in determining egg prices. For example, organic and free-range eggs tend to be more expensive than conventional eggs due to the added costs of production.
There are several options for cooking with egg substitutes, depending on the recipe and desired outcome. Some popular options include:
Silken tofu: blended silken tofu can be used as a substitute for eggs in baking recipes, such as cakes and brownies.
Silken tofu is a smooth and creamy type of tofu that is often used as a replacement for eggs in baking. It is high in protein and adds moisture to the baked goods. To use silken tofu as an egg substitute, simply blend it in a food processor or blender until smooth, and then use it in place of eggs in your recipe. It's best to use silken tofu in recipes that call for 1-2 eggs, and it works well for recipes like cakes, brownies, and cheesecake.
Applesauce: unsweetened applesauce can be used as a substitute for eggs in baking recipes, such as cakes and muffins.
Unsweetened applesauce can be used as a replacement for eggs in baking recipes. It adds moisture to the recipe, and also helps to bind ingredients together. To use applesauce as an egg substitute, simply use 1/4 cup of applesauce in place of one egg. It works well in recipes like cakes, muffins, and quick breads. I use this a lot since my grandkids are allergic to eggs.
Yogurt: plain yogurt can be used as a substitute for eggs in baking recipes, such as cakes and quick breads.
Plain yogurt can be used as a replacement for eggs in baking recipes. It adds moisture and flavor to the recipe. To use yogurt as an egg substitute, simply use 1/4 cup of plain yogurt in place of one egg. It works well in recipes like cakes, muffins, and quick breads.
Flaxseed: flaxseed mixed with water can be used as a substitute for eggs in baking recipes, such as cakes and cookies.
Flaxseed mixed with water can be used as a replacement for eggs in baking recipes. The flaxseed mixture acts as a binding agent and helps to hold the ingredients together. To use flaxseed as an egg substitute, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water for each egg that you are replacing. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes until it thickens, and then use it in your recipe. It works well in recipes like cakes, cookies, and breads.
Aquafaba: The liquid from a can of chickpeas can be whipped to a stiff peak to make a meringue like substitute for eggs in baking recipes like macarons, meringue pies and pavlovas.
Keep in mind that while these options can be used as substitutes, the texture and taste may be affected. It's best to experiment with small batches and adjust the amount according to the recipe. It's also important to note that not all egg substitutes work in all recipes, some of these options may not be suitable for certain recipes.

But yes, was planning to draw him looking at mom shirt with despair in his eyes...but you get what you EGG 😁

I wish I could have chickens! They are adorable little dinosaurs. But I currently live in an apartment and landlords are so picky about pets if they are allowed at all. So if I ever get the opportunity to I would like to have chickens.
I love birds in general honestly! Chickens are the one I’m most interested in probably because I live in rural farm area ™️
They're wonderful little guys! If you're ever able to get a bit of land they're great for eggs, controlling bugs, compost, and just general entertainment haha. When they're well taken care of it's wild how much better backyard chicken eggs are compared to commercial, I'm still thrown off when I see pale yellow yolks cause I'm like. You're supposed to be bright orange lol
