Here’s How to Cut Down Recipes
If you are anything like me, you totally need a measurement conversion chart taped to the wall in your kitchen.
I am FOREVER looking in my Betty Crocker Cookbook to see just how to change cups into tablespoons and tablespoons into teaspoons — and I really should have it memorized by now.
You no longer have to be like ME, and grab your cookbook to see what measurements you need. We have converted one serving into a half serving, and one serving into a third serving so you don’t have to look it up every time.
We also went ahead and converted cups to tablespoons and teaspoons — I will use this ALL the time!
This is SUCH useful information. We have been cooking and baking like crazy during this time of getting the pleasure of being stuck at home! Have you been doing to same?
