Substitution Guidelines
With the rise of allergies and alternative diets, it can be really challenging to find recipes that fit your needs.
Here are some tips to help you with recipes on my site.
* All of my recipes that call for any type of bread cubes or crumbs will work with gluten-free breads.
* Many of my salads call for sour cream and mayo - they originally called for all mayo. You can also use fake sour cream or vegan sour cream.
* Baking recipes that call for butter can use margarine, cooking recipes can use oil.
* Recipes marked with dairy-free, vegan or gluten-free can either have offending ingredients substituted or omitted.
* Usually milk and half-n-half can be substituted with soy, rice, coconut and other nut milks.
I hope this helps!

Honey-Cranberry TVP
Just a quickie today. I’ve mentioned that we’ve been eating a lot of TVP because it’s so easy to flavor and add. I especially like to use it in place of ground meat for tacos – it tastes just like taco-seasoned ground chicken! We wanted to do something a little different and my husband was thinking of the sweet pork and raspberry-chipotle chicken offered at a local Mexican restaurant that just opened here in our town.
It came out so well, I thought I’d share. It’s sweetly spicy, a bit fruity and goes extremely well with refried black beans…

Make-Your-Own Taco Seasoning (Hot and Mild From Scratch)
While you can buy a packet of taco seasoning at the store, it’s really a shame because of how cheap and easy it is to make your own at home, provided you have a well-stocked spice cabinet. (I, er, tend to collect spices. It’s sad.)
This is one we put together today for some of our beef. I’ve written our version up as the Hot and Spicy! but I’ve also included a Mild and Tasty! version that uses spices most common to the average cupboard.
