Emergency Ingredient Substitutions

This scenario has happened to me more than I’d care to admit. I’m in the middle of baking or preparing a meal and realize that I’m out of a key ingredient. After a brief moment of panic, I have to figure out what I’m going to do. Do I drop everything and run to the grocery store? Go next door and ask our elderly neighbour whom I don’t really know? I’d rather do option three: find an emergency ingredient substitution, if possible.

Even these three will be a great help to me.   t Thank you so much for this list. I plan to use it again and again.
