Easy Ingredient Measures for Fruit
Happy New Year
Maybe we can begin this year with eating healthy foods and taking good care of your bodies.
Continuing from last December's Substitutions in a Hurry, here is a similar list that explains measurements. You may not have to give up on that recipe after all.
Especially during the festive season a lot of us are looking at cooking and there are times that we don't have what the recipe asks for. I recently found a full page newspaper guide, (that I had saved all these years) that included what they describes as Emergency Substitutions. I am including a part of the list and will continue with the rest of the list on an ongoing basis.The information was listed in a newspaper published in Star Tribune in Minneapolis St. Paul on Thursday, January 11, 2001
