By Ana
Next time you crack open your eggs, do not be so quick to throw them away! Grind or crush them up and add to your vegetable garden, it will provide many nutrients that may be lacking in your soil. Add to compost. Use in the garden is to deter slugs, snails, and cutworms. They stay away, leaving you with uneaten flowers, plants, and vegetables. Just sprinkle around your planting areas.

Make this cute paper chicken using the cardboard center from a roll of toilet paper. You can fill them with little bags of candy if you like. This is a great craft for kids!

I love potatoes! So adding just about anything to them can really make a difference from the plain fried potatoes. These spicy fried potatoes go great with scrambled eggs, or they're just a nice meal all by themselves too. Also, you can add more or less of everything too.
