A friend mentioned a powdered buttermilk available at the store, and that they were pleased with the results. I've not tried it myself, but it prompted me to remember:
For one c of buttermilk, 1 tbsp of lemon juice topped off with enough milk to make 1 cup. Allow to sit for a few minutes.

Substitute 1/3 cup melted butter and 2/3 cup whole milk for 1 cup whipping cream.

Honey Do, or actually honey don't...
Don't have honey?

Cream of what?
You have a recipe, it calls for...Cream of tarter. "What on earth?", you think to yourself. I know, I used to think that too.
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon can be used in time of need to substitute 1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter.

For the love of Chocolate
Recipe calls for chocolate?
Substitute 1 oz unsweetened baking chocolate: 3 tablespoons cocoa powder with 1 tablespoon of butter, margarine or vegetable oil.
Substitute 6 oz semisweet chocolate: 9 tablespoons cocoa, 7 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons shortening.
Substitute 4oz sweet baking chocolate: 4 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons sugar, 4 tablespoons cocoa, 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons vegetable shortening.
**These only work for when chocolate will be melted, not for use in recipes calling for hard unmelted chips like chocolate chip cookies.

Evaporated Milk
Doing the math, the little 8 oz cans at the store will cost you around a buck. A gallon of milk is less than 4 dollars. Spend a little time, make your own evaporated milk.
Evaporated milk in the can is milk, with 40% to 60% less water.
In small pan, pour twice as much milk as needed. Simmer over low heat, DO NOT BOIL, until half is left.
Can be stored for a few days in frig, in a sealed container.
