Ingredient Substitutions

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade! O wait, we want to avoid buying the lemons in the first place! Well I googled Jamie's question below, which has made me skip recipes all together, and found a great website. http://lancaster.unl.edu/food/ciqsubs.shtml

My two favorite are for lemon zest and fresh herbs:

Herbs, Fresh
Amount: 1 tablespoon, finely cut
Substitute:- 1 teaspoon dried leaf herbs- 1/2 teaspoon ground dried herbs

Lemon Zest (fresh grated lemon peel)
Amount: 1 teaspoon
Substitute: 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

Hope this helps in your recipe substitutions!
Andrea
