Just like Souper Simple recipes, I am going to run Mother of Invention substitutions from time to time.
Not too long ago, I learned I was able to substitute heavy cream, for everything but whipping, with 3/4 milk and 1/4 butter. I love this, since milk and butter are kitchen staples, while heavy cream is not, mainly because of it's price and quick spoilage.
Well, today I came across another one I want to share. While preparing a marinade for an inexpensive cut of beef, it called for lemon juice. I hate buying this stuff for the price too. White vinegar can be subbed for lemon juice, just use 1/2 the called for amount. Now, I would experiment with this and use common sense. Clearly if you are making Lemon Bars, this would NOT be an option. However, in a marinade, it is perfect.
Sub on!
