How to Find Substitutions for Goat Cheese and Cake Flour in Recipes

[pcjulie]

I could not find goat cheese at my grocery store for the onion tart recipe. Do you think I could substitute cream cheese?

Also, I want to try the flatbread recipe and could not find cake flour (and the bakery was closed for the night). Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

You CAN sub cream cheese for goat cheese...it is not a sharp tasting but it will work. We used that in the whatchamacalit recipe last spring...someone help me...the canape breads with various toppings - why can't I think of the word?

The cake flour is located near the regular flour, but it is in a box. Most average sized grocery stores carry it.

Yeah my cake flour is made by Swan's and the box is red...

Tapas!! I will never forget these. When she made the announcement about them at Leadership conference a few of us thought she was saying, "Tempting Topless". We were cracking up!! Everyone was like, "you don't want to see me topless chopping NOTHING!"

Ahhhhh....good times, good times!

Wal-mart, Giant and Weis all carry it. It is usually on the top shelf and I believe it is in a red box.
