Common Substitutions
How many times have you started to prepare a recipe and discovered you do not have all the necessary ingredients? What do you do? This often results in a recipe that is ruined, wasted ingredients, or you have to stop everything and run to the grocery store. When you get to the grocery store, you may have to purchase a large container of an ingredient just for a teaspoon or two that you actually need for this recipe. This is very aggravating and very costly since shelf life on spices is not a very long time.
Our common ingredient substitution list will help you substitute other ingredients for the missing ingredient. The substitutions could produce a slightly different flavor or texture than the original ingredient, however, it will save you time and money.
