Reference List: Halving a Recipe

So, some of my recipes make very.large.quanities.  What can I say?  I need to feed my man of 6' 4" and our son (who seems to have gotten everything from daddy, including his appetite)!  I won't mention that I, myself, could probably out eat the both of them put together any day of the week!  But even with this house full of little (and big) piggies, we still have tons of leftovers that Chris likes to bring to work and that I like to feel little man for lunch.  Let's also put it this way.  If there aren't any leftovers, poor Chris goes to work with no lunch!  So I try to make sure I always cook a decent amount.

But, anyway!  Back to the point.  This list should have every possible measurement that you may come across in a recipe.  Bookmark this page, print it out and laminate it, do whatever you want with it!  It truly is a great reference:)

While I'm at it, here's a few major ones for making One-third of a Recipe!


Making 1/3 a Recipe

When you need:                                       Then Use:
