What are some common cooking substitutions I can use

Sure! Here are nine common cooking substitutions you can use:

**Eggs**: If you're out of eggs, try using 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or 1/4 cup of yogurt for baking.

**Butter**: You can swap butter for coconut oil or even olive oil in most recipes. Just use a little less if it's a liquid.

**Milk**: If you don’t have milk, try using almond milk, soy milk, or even water in a pinch.

**Flour**: For a gluten-free option, you can use almond flour or coconut flour instead of regular flour, but remember to adjust the amounts!

**Sugar**: If you’re out of granulated sugar, honey or maple syrup can work as a sweetener. Just use a little less, as they’re sweeter.

**Baking Powder**: Mix 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda with 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to replace 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

**Soy Sauce**: If you need a soy sauce alternative, try using tamari or even a mix of balsamic vinegar and water.

**Fresh Herbs**: If you don’t have fresh herbs, dried herbs can be a good substitute. Just use about one-third of the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated.
