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

Hurricane Helene was and continues to be a traumatic event for our region, but even within the worst of it, there are stories of resilience and ingenuity in ways that many had to deal with making or getting meals while having no power or water for days.

There are many churches and community relief and service organizations that are and will continue to help in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Please make sure you check on what local area churches may be doing or need in terms of donations. Money is often the best thing to donate so they can buy what they need. Volunteer time is also often appreciated.

It is difficult to know what to write after a disaster of the magnitude caused by Hurricane Helene. It certainly teaches us the importance of coming together as a community to check on and help our friends and neighbors, and how vital our emergency response teams, first responders, National Guard, churches, shelters for both humans and animals, and relief organizations are in times like this.
