For either situation, I have a solution: It’s easy to make a very quick buttermilk substitute in less than 10 minutes.
I think we can agree that crispy, smoky bacon is one of life’s greatest pleasures. However, standing over a hot stove dodging sputtering bacon grease is not. Here is how we can have the best of both worlds: a hands-free, hassle-free method for cooking perfect bacon, all in the oven.

“Cilantro, mint and a hint of spice make this a magnificent chutney that would go great with lamb. I had searched everywhere for this recipe. The stars aligned one day and I not only found a fabulous house to rent, but a landlord who knew how to make Mint Chutney! This is Roselyn’s recipe.”
We don’t eat like normal people around here. Oh sure, we eat recognizable food — we’re not 3D printing our meals or anything — but because of the particular needs and demands of our jobs, our schedules are a little out of whack. I work from home as a food writer, recipe developer, and photographer; he works during the evenings as an editor for a major online sports media company.

Ready for the organized pantry of your dreams? Good news — it’s not as tough as you think it is. Take a few pointers from these pantry role models and you’ll be well on your way.
