Weight Conversions

Chai Spice MixBeing from the U.S, I’m sad to say that I don’t know the Metric system. Not even a little bit. I truly believe that we should all use the same system, or we should learn both systems in school. Alas, neither is true, so I have created this page. Recently, I have in fact been adding weight measures to my recipes. However, many of my older recipes (anything before August 2011) do not have any weight measures.

All of my measurements can be converted to weight and metric weights here. It took a lot of research for me to find each of these measurements. However, grams and milliliters are much more accurate than ounces and cups. This can cause discrepancies in “standard” conversions. However, these discrepancies are only a few grams or milliliters one way or the other, so it isn’t anything to be concerned about. Furthermore, I measure everything in cups and ounces, which is less accurate, so you can count on being accurate if you’re using the metric system. If I do have a major error on this page, please contact me and help me out. I’ll replace the wrong measurement with the right one right away.

I hope that this is helpful for both my U.S. and my International readers. If you don’t see an ingredient here, please let me know and I will add it, if possible. If all else fails, I have a scale that offers weights in ounces and grams, and I can give an answer based on that.

xo,

Darla

The best good boy that ever lived. 🤍 My brain i The best good boy that ever lived. 🤍 My brain is struggling to comprehend how it’s been almost two years without him. It feels like a flash in time and an eternity, simultaneously. #LittleMightyLoki
Twentieth New Year’s Eve together and he still m Twentieth New Year’s Eve together and he still makes me laugh til I cry {swipe}.
😂
I’m ready for new adventures, new memories, more kindness, and lots of healing in 2021. Among so many things I want for you, I’m especially wishing you belly laughs, abundant pleasure, endless excitement, and great food in the new year. Cheers and  happy New Year, my friends!
I always knew that I would be bounding as Olaf tod I always knew that I would be bounding as Olaf today because he is the epitome of a happy character. But it’s not just Olaf...I’m also bounding today as @joshgad, in a roundabout way, because Josh has brought so much joy and compassion to people. Yes, with his portrayal of Olaf (and so many other characters), but also, and mainly, as himself. He’s such a joyful and kind person, it has been a pleasure laughing and crying along with him, and Olaf, this year. Thank you, sir, for making my 2020 more magical and joyful than it would have been without you!

💛
I’d also like to take a moment to share our fearless team leaders: @shebounds and @libraryladylife. They’re both so creative and they’ve been so encouraging throughout the whole month.

Although, truth be told, I’m much more like Michael and Jane... noisy, mischievous, and short-tempered. 😅 Or stubborn, suspicious, and inclined to giggle, if you want to use the movie for reference.

I couldn’t pick just a Remy quote for today because the one by Chef Gusteau is one of my favorites from any movie. I think it’s clear from several of my other bounds this month that food is one of my love languages, and Remy and Gusteau totally get it.
