Cookbook creator says: Can't get sour cream? How about canned milk cream - not sweetened condensed milk, mind you. Wheat germ can be left out but add a little more flour. The flour could be plain or whole wheat.

Cookbook creator says: Great when eggs are hard to come by!

I made this in Malawi whenever I could get my hands on pasta (doesn't have to be just rotini) It lasted a long time and was a taste of 'home' for me. Can be lower in calories if you have access to splenda.

This is my favorite pizza dough recipe! Yum!!

Cookbook creator says: I tried this with what ingredients I could buy locally and with what my family likes. I used regular spaghetti noodles and once we even tried the French style fried egg on the top. We liked it!

Cookbook creator says: Use the pico de gallo recipe as your salsa and cook your own beans from dried. You can use just about any bean. Don't have corn? Don't worry add a little of some other colorful vegetable that you can get locally.

Cookbook creator says: Read through the members comments and ratings for ideas of how to modify this recipe to your tastes and needs. When I can't get cottage cheese (which is usually), I make a white sauce and sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese to make that layer.

Cookbook creator says: I think this is do-able on the mission field. I can't always find pork chops, but you might could try some chicken cuts instead.

Cookbook creator says: You would have to know how to make your own pancake mix, but lots of missionary cookbooks have recipes for a dry pancake mix. This could work!

Creamy pudding makes fantastic frozen treats.

These are really large muffins, meant to be eaten as a meal on their own.

Or, you can use the small muffin pans to make 16 mini muffins.

Cookbook creator says: If you can't get creamed corn (which you probably can't on any mission field), use regular corn fresh or canned.

Cookbook creator says: Except for the cottage cheese and a can of refried beans which I can substitute, this looks like a missionary friendly recipe. Don't forget to make the corn meal crust to go along with it. There's a link for it on this recipe.
