I found these smart substitutes and thought I would share with you
Smart Substitutes
Recipe call for Buttermilk? Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to a cup of milk and let it stand 10 minutes. Or add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of whole milk.
Chocolate Trick: When you haven't any unsweetened chocolate in the house, make 1 ounce by adding 1 tablespoon fat to 3 tablespoons cocoa.
Short of Bread Crumbs? Stretch what you've got by using your blender to grind up crackers, unsweetened breakfast cereal or potato chips. Cornmeal and wheat germ will also work in a pinch.
Missing an Egg: When your one egg shy for a recipe that calls for several, substitute one teaspoon of cornstarch.
To keep milk past it's expiration date add salt. A pinch of salt in a gallon will do it. The salt slows the rate of bacteria growth.
Brown sugar will not harden if stored in the freezer.
Add blue food coloring to chocolate frosting to get black

Thats Awesome, Although i dont know if i would trust the Salt in the Milk o.0 (sounds Nasty haha)
Here is one for if your out of baking powder.... 1 teaspoon baking powder = 1/4 teaspoon baking soda + ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
or egg nog instead of buttermilk
Vinegar + milk is a better flavor replacement for buttered milk then the lemon juice from what i've heard.
Here is a great website that has replacements for TONES of stuff... just click on the link for what you need replaced... so click on Meats, then find the meat you want to replace and it will have suggestions if that makes sense...
