If You are Out of "That" You can Sub in "This": Quick Kitchen Substitutes!!

Rice. If you are out of rice use Quinoa or noodles. I LOVE Quinoa. Is has protein, it's gluten free and a whole grain. I make most of my rice style dishes out of it like, Jambalaya and pilafs.

Bullion cubes. Of course you can use stock or broth to sub in, but if you are out of bullion cubes you may just be out of stock. So check your fridge for soy sauce. Don't use too much, as it's is salty. But add in a tsp. at a time and try to build up the flavor. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon!

Whatever Veggie Your Recipe is calling for. Don't be scared to use a different veggie in a recipe. I think green beans pair with many dishes that call for broccoli and vise versa.

Whatever Meat Your Recipe is calling for. Most recipes can easily interchange beef, pork and chicken. Sure, it is going to taste different but it will probably taste fine.

Beans. Not all beans sub in well for others, but many do. Many casserole recipes are fine with either re-fried or whole beans. If you want a side of beans for Mexican food, re-fried, whole pinto and whole black beans are perfectly acceptable. Most any whole bean works in chili and soups!!

Fresh Garlic and Onion- Dried are just fine, always have them on hand. Add about a 1/2 tsp at a time and taste as you go.
