Substitutions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing worse than having a group of people on their way for a nice party and running out of a critical element of a recipe so here is a list of substitutions I have compiled over the years. I have used many of them in recipes when I have been in a pinch. Just be aware that some of these substitutions will change the flavor of your dish but at least you will be able to move forward without running out to the store and still be on time for the arrival of your guests!<\/em><\/p>\n
