Cooking & Recipes
How can I adjust a recipe for more or fewer servings?
Each recipe on All Mom Recipes specifies the number of servings. You can easily adjust the ingredients proportionally – just multiply or divide all ingredients by the same ratio.
Mom Tip: When doubling recipes, be careful with spices and salt – start with 1.5x the amount and taste as you go!
Remember to adjust cooking times if necessary – larger batches may need more time, while smaller portions cook faster.
Can I substitute ingredients in the recipes?
Absolutely! Cooking is all about creativity and working with what you have. Many of our recipes include suggested substitutions in the recipe notes.
Common substitutions include:
- Buttermilk: 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Brown sugar: White sugar + molasses
- Heavy cream: Milk + butter
- Fresh herbs: 1/3 the amount of dried herbs
Do you provide nutritional information for recipes?
We’re working on adding nutritional information to all our recipes! Many newer recipes include estimated nutrition facts, but remember these are approximate values.
Always consult with healthcare professionals for specific dietary needs and restrictions.
How do I know if a recipe is kid-friendly?
