Need the best simple substitutions in your recipes? Here you go!

Hi reader,

I am ALL about simplicity. That's why I love to create real food recipes that are healthy, simple, and frugal.

To me, simple also means having my pantry organized with the fewest amount of staple ingredients that I need to make delicious recipes.

But do you know what I found the other day when I organized my pantry?

A full bottle of a spice blend for a recipe that I tried one time! ONE TIME!

There it sat in the back of my pantry, and there went the $6.00 I spent to buy it.

YIKES!

Do you ever find random jars of ingredients that you bought for a recipe, fully intending to use it up, but ended up using only once?

These items often become waste, or clutter, or both!

But guess what? I have a great method to solve this common problem. It's called using substitutions! 

YES! Substitutions are a perfect way to make that new recipe, without the waste of precious time, food, and money!

Did you know that you can substitute:

 

  • Cinnamon + nutmeg + cloves for allspice?
  • Ground ginger for cardamom?
  • All purpose flour +  baking powder + salt + baking soda for self-rising flour?

I think you will find some great ideas that you can start using today!


ALL my best ♥,


PS: Making substitutions is one baby step towards healthier eating on a budget. It makes a surprising difference in your grocery spending!
