50 Need-to-Know Ingredient Substitutions

November 8, 2021 by Tiany Davis

We’ve all been there! You’ve just returned from the grocery store, and you’re getting ready to make dinner, bake or whip something up on a whim, and you’re missing a crucial ingredient. But, of course, the last thing you want to do is go back to the grocery store for one item. Especially with the holidays upon us! No worries! We have 50 Need-to-Know Ingredient Substitutions for you! Take into account that the substitution could change the taste, texture, and or consistency, but it will do when you’re in a pinch.

50 Need-to-Know Ingredient Substitutions

Healthy Recipe Substitutions

Unsweetened applesauce for oil, butter, or sugar

Using applesauce in place of sugar can give the necessary sweetness without the calories. You can sub sugar for apple sauce in a 1:1 ratio, but for every cup of applesauce, you use, reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup.

Mashed bananas for fats

The creamy, thickening power of ripe mashed banana is perfect for replacing fat in baking recipes. One cup of mashed banana works perfectly in place of 1 cup of butter or oil!
Grated steamed cauliflower for rice

Cut both calories and carbs with this simple switch. The texture is virtually the same, as is the taste.

Spaghetti squash for pasta

Roast or bake your squash and scrape with a fork for a healthy low-carb spaghetti squash substitute for pasta. One squash will make between two and three servings.

Two egg whites for one whole egg

Trade out the yolk for a second white to cut cholesterol and double the protein.

Greek yogurt for sour cream or mayo

Nonfat Greek yogurt has far fewer calories and fat than mayonnaise or sour cream, but its consistency is quite similarSo nextxt time a recipe calls for either of those fattening ingredients, try using the yogurt instead.

Gluten Free Baton Rouge – California Pizza Kitchen

April 24, 2014 by Baton Rouge Family Fun

Dorothy Hutchinson is one of my favorite people in Baton Rouge. Not only is she super friendly, hard working and efficient (all things I love!), she regularly brings me pizza. That’s because she’s the manager on duty when I go to California Pizza Kitchen and she’s the only one who’s allowed to bring me pizza. It’s just one of the amazing safety procedures California Pizza Kitchen has put in place to protect people with Celiac Disease, Gluten Intolerance and Wheat Allergy.

gluten free pizza tag

This little tag is on every gluten free pizza.

When You Order

When you order your gluten free pizza, let your server know you have an “allergy” even if you have another medical issue that requires you to be gluten free. Every restaurant has it’s own “key word” to use if you need special treatment with your food, at CPK it’s “allergy”. Either your server or the manager will explain the gluten free procedure to you. (If not, just ask to speak to a manager, they’re super friendly and always willing to take the time. We go in regularly and every time, Dorothy comes over just to remind us of how my food is kept safe.)

In the Kitchen – Rice Flour and Separate Kitchen Space

About two months before CPK introduced their gluten free crust, they started using only rice flour on their counters. This means there’s no wheat flour floating around in the air while your pizza is being prepared.
The gluten free crust arrives at the restaurant, ready made and in it’s own pan. Kitchen staff use special blue gloves and there is a separate counter with separate ingredients for your gluten free pizza. (Dorothy will let you know, if you order a topping that’s not on the gluten free menu she can’t guarantee its safety so you’re safest to stick to those special ingredients.)

Managers Only

Only managers are allowed to bring out gluten free pizzas with an “allergy” note. And they can’t be carrying a gluten pizza with it, just gluten free. This ensures there’s no contamination from the kitchen to the table.

gluten free pizza

Mushrooms, pepperoni, sausage, extra cheese. Yeah baby.

Eating (Actually EATING)

I’m going to tell you. There’s really nothing like walking into a pizza place, smelling pizza and actually being able to EAT the pizza. WOW! And what pizza! The crust at CPK is thin, crispy and chewy. The four gluten free pizza selections are the varieties that are most popular on the regular menu. I’m having a hard time deciding which is my favorite. I usually get the Mushroom Pepperoni Sausage with extra cheese and bacon but I just tried the Original BBQ Chicken Pizza and it might be what I order from now on (or at least every second time). And I don’t need to worry about eating around regular dining hours to avoid a rushed kitchen, my pizza is safe and isolated no matter how many gluten pizzas are being prepared.

Boxing Up

Here’s where things might get a little tricky. If you have left overs (What? You might have left overs, it’s possible. Rare in my case, but still possible.) ask for a box brought to your table and box it up yourself. There aren’t any regulations in place for carrying pizza from the table back to the kitchen to box up and there’s a very slight risk of cross contamination if your server is also boxing a gluten pizza.

Gluten Free in Baton Rouge Series- Bonefish Grill Review

March 6, 2014 by Baton Rouge Family Fun

I’ve always loved to eat out and try new foods, but it’s been tricky since I’ve given up gluten. I’m always so happy when I find a new restaurant that has great food and really knows about gluten safety and cross contamination. After my dinner there on Tuesday, Bonefish Grill is now at the top of my “Favorite Places to Eat in Baton Rouge” list.
 
Gluten Free Baton Rouge
 

I’m always so nervous when I go to a new restaurant

I actually talked to the manager of Bonefish Grill in the freezer section of Whole Foods a few weeks ago. He was looking for a dessert for a guest who had come in with a special dietary need. He actually went to a grocery store, while the guest was having dinner, to get that guest a special dessert. Holy cow. That’s service! I talked to him a little bit about gluten free options at Bonefish and he knew all about celiac disease. His wife was gluten free. His advice was to ask to see a manager as soon as you arrive and let him or her know that you have celiac disease and are gluten free. The managers are all trained in gluten free procedures. I was so impressed with this manager that I went for dinner on Tuesday! Now I’m just sorry I didn’t go earlier.
 
Saucy Shrimp and Scallops from Bonefish Grill

Saucy Shrimp and Scallops from Bonefish Grill – AH MAZE ING

Honestly, I get really stressed out when eating somewhere new. I try to go to restaurants that celiac friends have already been to. So when we pulled into the parking lot, I was overcome with my usual pre-restaurant paranoia. If you’ve got gluten issues you know what I’m talking about. That feeling that you’re absolutely sure that everyone on the other side of that door is going to try to kill you with crumbs. But, the memory of my conversation in Whole Foods helped me get to the door. Right away the hostess inspired confidence in Bonefish Grill’s gluten-safety. When I asked for a gluten free menu, she let me know that they had a gluten free menu, but because there was a misprint, (the menu mistakenly included a gluten item) they had to order new ones. I was impressed, instead of giving out a menu that could cause confusion and possibly endanger someone’s health, they chose to order all new menus. The hostess let me know that my server would be able to help me with gluten free options. 
 

Our Angler and the Manager gave me confidence

And she did! Our Angler was Tina, and she knew her stuff. She very slowly and carefully reviewed the gluten free items and made some recommendations. There was one seasonal dish that she wasn’t sure of, so she went to find the manager. Will, the manager, was also fantastically helpful. He confirmed the info that Tina had given me, and cleared up the confusion about the dish in question. Super nice guy, he also let me know that he’d be watching my order to avoid any cross contamination. 
The rest of the service was excellent and the whole time I felt absolutely confident in the safety of my meal. I saw bread brought to a couple of other tables, but none came to ours. None was even offered. Yay! That’s a huge win in my books. (My confidence in a restaurant dips a little bit if I go through the whole gluten-free spiel and then they offer me bread.)  I’m not sure if Bonefish brings free bread to the tables, or if those tables ordered it, but I was glad not to have to deal with the bread issue. 
 
The gluten-free selection on the menu was amazing! There were four appetizers to choose from, and then many of the entrees, almost all the sauces and FOUR DESSERTS were all gluten free. I think Bonefish Grill may have the largest gluten free dessert menu of any regular restaurant I’ve visited. 
 

The Food was Amazing! 

We had Saucy Shrimp and Scallops as an appetizer. Shrimp and scallops with sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese and olives in a creamy tomato sauce. Really good. Sometimes sauce on seafood can be overpowering, but this was done really well. The sun dried tomatoes were an excellent accompaniment. I laughed when Tina first brought the dish and I saw it had a spoon alongside the seafood fork. Um, then I used the spoon to make sure I got more sauce. Yup. It was that good.
 
Our salads were really nice. Very small, just a side salad, but very crisp and served on cold plates. (and NO croutons!!)
 
For my entree I had the lobster tail dinner. It was very nice. I had the steamed broccoli as a side and it was good. Just cooked enough. (I always order steamed broccoli because I’ve never gotten contaminated from eating steamed broccoli).
chocolate Creme Brulee from bonefish grill

This is the Chocolate Creme Brulee. I wish I could capture the taste with a cell phone photo.

 
For dessert I had the choice of Creme Brulee, Ice Cream, a Macadamia Nut Brownie, and Chocolate Creme Brulee. Honestly, I could have ordered all four. I tried to get Scott to order the brownie, so we could “share” (so I could have two desserts without feeling guilty), but no go, so I got the Chocolate Creme Brulee. It was amazing. First, it was twice as big as a creme brulee should be. So, a plus. And it was surprisingly rich. Like eating straight up creamy chocolate. Not the mild flavor that I was expecting. It was fantastic. Next time, I may just get it as an appetizer. And maybe an entree. And then have the brownie for dessert.

Thanksgiving usually means family, fun and FOOD!! But if you’re newly gluten free, it can be a stressful time.
