The cheat sheets turned out great, thank you...will save on my computer!

I couldn't find a cheat sheet for these, but occasionally I get into making a recipe and find out I don't have an ingredient that I swear I thought I had...these substitutions can be handy if you don't want to run out to the store mid recipe

•Baking powder
For each teaspoon use 1 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.

•Brown sugar
For 1 cup: use 1 cup granulated sugar plus 2 tablespoons molasses or dark corn syrup.

•Buttermilk
For 1 cup: use 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar plus enough milk to make 1 cup and let stand five minutes, or use 1 cup yogurt.

•Chocolate
For 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate: use 3 tablespoons cocoa + 1 tablespoon butter. For 1 ounce semisweet baking chocolate: use 1 ounce unsweetened plus 1 tablespoon sugar.

•Heavy cream
For 1 cup: use 2/3 cup milk and 1/3 cup butter.
