Ingredient Substitution List for Cooking and Baking

It is the time of year where the baking and cooking start and so I wanted to help. I am not sure where these came from but they sure come in handy. They were given to me and I thought they would help anybody who cooks because they have some conversions that they do not have on most charts and I have found to be very helpful. I really hope they will help you and can use them.

I printed list out and put into a plastic clear protective sleeve and taped into my baking cabinet door so it is handy at all times. Thank You again.

Wow! I was on a totally different search--an' this came up! I'm workin' with my laptop right now, no printer (boohoo!). Hopefully, I can find you all again when I'm on the big old desktop computer w/printer and can zap this out!
