MENU: March 9, 2012 (Karen)
This was a hard week to decide what to make. I did 2 crockpot recipes because we had a busy week on the calendar. The other recipes were fast and easy too. With one day of leftovers. One recipe calls for buttermilk. I never have that on hand so I wanted to share an easy way to make your own for recipes.
(For each cup of buttermilk, you can use 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let stand for 5 minutes).
Recipes can always be adapted to suit your needs or tastes. I never have marsala wine so I always substitute dried sherry in recipes I love the flavor. This week a recipe called for dried cloves (ICK) so I just eliminated it. Don't be afraid to take any recipe and make it your own!
