Food Substitutions: Any Success?

Okay, it happened again last night. It was a perfect night to have BLT's. The problem, was I was half way through cooking the bacon and realized we were out of tomatoes. What to do? How about cucumbers?

The result... not bad, but when you mouth is watering for one thing, it's hard to duplicate the expectation.

Just last week I was making omelets, and I always add salsa to the eggs, meat, veggies and cheese. No salas. So, I tried to substitute enchilada sauce. Bad idea!

Sometimes substitutions work, sometimes they don't.

Have you ever had a successful food substitution? Maybe, one that actually ended up better than what you thought. Let us know on our facebook page or comment below.
