Substitutions

It happens to everyone. You’re half way into a recipe…the cans are opened, the containers are in the trash…like…you can’t unDO anything…and you realize you’re missing an ingredient. Sheer panic sets in. Luckily, there are lots of substitutions that will bale you out. You’re welcome :)

Buttermilk: Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to a liquid measuring cup. Add milk to the 1-cup line. Stir.

Creamed Corn: Swirl frozen corn in blender a few turns to break up the kernels, add 1/2 cup milk and 1 tsp cornstarch. Blend again. The cornstarch will thicken the juices released from the corn and milk. Use as 1 to 1 sub for creamed corn.

Ricotta: Cottage Cheese

Shortening: sub coconut oil or butter

Sour Cream: Greek yogurt

Worcestershire Sauce: swap with fish sauce, soy sauce, A1 Steak Sauce, or sherry vinegar
