Sponsored: Substitute Suggestions

Have you ever started a recipe and realized you don’t have a key ingredient? Gone to the store and can’t find what you need? Here are some ideas for substitutes.

If there’s no/you don’t have any:

Sliced bread

Make your own or use mixes on the grocery aisle.
Look for rolls, loaves and biscuits in the FROZEN food section.
Look for refrigerated dough tubes for rolls, biscuits, pizza crust and croissants
Try using tortillas, flatbreads, wraps, or rice cakes instead.

Milk

Farmer Jodi DeHate ( @FarmChicJodi) and Dietitian Holley Grainger recommend using cans of evaporated milk, milk powder or UHT (shelf-stable) milks instead: www.holleygrainger.com/what-are-shelf-stable-milks-and-how-can-i-use-them/

Eggs

Look for liquid eggs in the grocery aisle or frozen.
Young chef @ChefAudreyB says she uses 1/4c plain yogurt to replace eggs in many baking recipes
Grind 1 TBSP flax seeds, add 3TBSP warm water, whisk & refrigerate for 2 hours” suggests Michelle from @MGFKitchen

Fresh Meat

Often we see articles in magazines, posts on social media, reels or videos that feature a celebrity talking about what they eat in a day or week. This person may be an actor, an athlete, or an influencer-- but in most all cases the message is, ‘Eat like me and you could look/perform like me’.
