Hi ladies.
I just wanted to take a minute to rave about the Budget mix! I started out slow and ordered a sampler that included one pkg of the budget mix and used it to make biscuits for my family last week. They only took 20 minutes from start to hot out of the oven and there wasn't a single one left over!! (we almost fought over the last one! LOL) Being a sceptic, I thought that "other" biscuit mix is just as good so I made a pan of those Sunday. Well guess what? They were not as good as the MJF ones and I fed 4 of the left over ones to the birds who frequent my back yard. Yesterday I received my "bulk" budget mix and made a batch for supper tonight and again they were woofed down with much enthusiasm!!!! (did I spell that right?) If you haven't tried the budget mix you are really missing out on a super easy and very tasty treat! The biscuits are amazing! I can't wait to try a bakeover and I am going to order a larger size of the budget mix asap!

I made the cupcake recipe today, but I made it into a coffeecake-just dumped the cupcake batter in a greased 9 x 13 and put streusel topping on top.
TO DIE FOR. It is so, so yummy. I will be making this as my "go to" 9 x 13 cake from now on for potlucks and whatnot. I don't think it's dense enough to make 2 rounds with frosting in the middle...but maybe by adding sour cream it would make it heavier. I'll have to try that. This is so moist-it doesn't even need frosting!

Elizabeth- I hope you love it as much as I do! It's become a staple in our kitchen. I buy it in bulk and always order more when I get halfway down. We ran out once and I don't ever want that to happen again!

I just got my budget mix last night. I ordered it on Tuesday and it was on the front porch when I got home. Can't wait to start creating from the recipes in the book! It's been good weather for baking; a high of only 64 in Spokane today, usually it's much warmer by June.

I am looking forward to exploring the possibilities. I just got email notification that "You're order has shipped!" While I hate shipping food products cross country I feel the greater nutrition, ease of use, and support of a cottage industry that I believe in merits the miles. Now, if only I could find a way to live my summers in Seattle (it's 97 here today)... |

Amy- Definitly! Once you try the budget mix it really opens up a lot of doors, doesn't it? It is so great and flexible!! It cuts my baking time in half easily which is great since Nora's attention span can be quite small on some days!

I just ordered one box of the budget mix (trying to stay WITHIN the budget) the recipe magazine and a box of chillOver. Now I am already seeing that I will soon be buying budget mix in bulk. I usually make things from scratch, but since this is organic AND whole wheat I see more of it in my future.
Thank you for the great posts and ideas. I cannot wait to try pizza dough (and biscuits, and pancakes, and...)

Oh man. I made PB cookies yesterday from the recipe in the booklet-TO DIE FOR. I halved the recipe, and used crisco...the cookies were so chewy and wonderful!!! And Alee, I think that I figured out the problem with my waffle batter-I used a normal sized egg this time and it isn't sticking. Last time I remember I had used a rather large egg!!!

Megan- Your waffle maker sound like mine and had to test mine out a few times to find the right time on it. I didn't have any sticking problems with mine- did you let yours preheat long enough? Another thought would be to add just a smidge more budget mix to your recipe. Elevation can play a weird role as to whether things will stick or not.

I followed the recipe for waffles, and they stuck in the waffle maker-I've got one that has lights that tell you when the waffle is done-and the waffle was WAY done and STILL stuck in the no-stick waffle maker. I brushed butter on the no-stick waffle maker and it STILL stuck. Has anyone else had this problem?

I love the budget mix! We buy it in bulk and I never regret it! It is one of those things that is a staple and I feel good knowing that I am giving Nora something healthy without missing the precious time we get together. It is a huge help in our "hurry hurry" schedule!

Megan- You will love it!! I just made waffles this morning using the budget mix pancake recipe. They are awesome! And so easy. Just mix it up with some milk,egg and sugar and viola!! Waffles!! I think it took me all of 3 minutes.
Another thing I love with the budget mix is that you can make awesome cupcakes and monkeybread (pull apart bread). And the bakeovers are a great way to pull together the "little bits" of veggie and meat or what not that seem to accumulate right before the next shopping trip!

WOW! I just ordered the tote bag special and tried the budget mix. I made crepes for breakfast and boy did my family go hog wild! I was even "Forced" into making them for dessert too!
I have a feeling I will be looking for lots more of this in bulk next time. So good, and so easy!
Thanks MaryJane for enriching my life in yet another unexpected way!
Smiles,

PS- Lest I forget to mention that the tote bag is absolutely gorgeous- love the fabric and so proud to carry it around town with me!

Debbie- wait until you make the pizza crust with the budget mix! It's so good! And so much easier than waiting for dough to rise!
