How To: Missing an Ingredient? Consult This Guide to Cooking & Baking Substitutions

We've all been there: you're cooking along quite happily when you get to one or two ingredients on the list that you realize you don't have. You really don't want to run to the store or borrow something from a neighbor, so what do you do?

Thankfully, eReplacementParts has come up with a handy-dandy infographic for ingredient substitutions, all using stuff you have in your own home, whether you lack ingredients for pasta sauce, marinades, or basic foodstuffs like eggs (even the expired ones), sweeteners, lemon or lime juice, sour cream and buttermilk, baking powder, mustard, and chocolate.

And be sure to check out Yumi's visual guides on cooking vegetables and beans. They're super handy and a great companion to the infographic above.
