We currently love the spicy bean flakes (I keep a huge jar in the pantry), cherry cobbler taskbars, sunrise milk chocolates, falafel....and some of the garlic pesto fry bread
Of course you absolutely 'must' have the bakeover mix and the chillover powder, I have yet to make the marshmallows but they are on my list;)
mmm, am off to cook lunch now- we are making the sicilian polenta with homemade red sauce

I just received some of the MJF jams. Am sooooooo enjoying the Red Raspberry jam, made without pectin and so much fruit -- it's a taste explosion!
Bridget, the bakeover is pretty easy. I've made it using the 'from scratch' recipe in the book. And I don't have the 'proper' bakeover pan to flip it over; I just bake it in a deep dish pie pan. The first time, I flipped it over without any trouble at all. The second time, I just flipped each serving over as I plated it -- worked just fine!
Maybe others can address how much crust there is -- wondering if others are doubling the batch, as I think it is a bit on the thin side. . . but sooo good.

Are they Mary Jane's jams or are they from Sunflower Sundries, Katie? She's just down the road from me and yes, her jams are fabulous. She uses all naturals and like you said, no pectin. Her gooseberry is my favorite!!! Mary Jane carried her line so that everyone (outside of Kentucky) can know how good they are

I've seen her kitchen below her big ole farmhouse. What's really cool is that almost everything is grown right there. She's also makes this TO DIE FOR whole grain mustard...several different flavors, my favorite is the spicy garlic. Oh yum.
I'm going to put the link here http://www.sunflowersundries.com/articles/page.asp?articleid=4487, not to take away from Mary Jane, but to let you look at Jennifer's stuff!!

Don't you worry about making bakeovers- they are SOOO easy and have made good cooks out of many non-cooks! Trust me, I was one, this was my first real introduction to cooking outside of steaming vegi's and making rice. I have never had a bad bakeover, some amazing ones, but always great and it is not due to my skills as a cook;) I would just get the adorable farmgirl at heart bag with the kitchen magazine and budget mix, perhaps the pan as well if you don't have a good one. We have really enjoyed making bakeovers with the pesto fry bread- it is all very easy, minimal stuff to keep track of and fast.

Oh I love the soups...especially the black bean and corn chowder...yum!!!!!
and the budget mix is hard to beat. The chocolate bars are wonderful..I adore the lavender milk chocolate especially. And I really like the scone mix with orange peel and nuts. And the garlic pesto fry bread...in fact..I haven't tried anything that I didn't really like alot. But that black bean and corn chowder is my first choice always!

Oh my gosh! Where to start? I love the budget mix. It is so versital. I too love the chill-over especially because I don't like the thought of eating gelatin extruded from pig hooves and bones. Ick.
I ADORE the scones with orange and walnut. I have been dreaming about them since I last made them. That is something I HAVE to buy in bulk. I also love the black bean soup- super yummy.
The Chocolate is seriously the best chocolate ever. Now she just needs to come out with a White Chocolate bar and I will be beyond cloud nine! Plus the adorabe post cards are the cutest things ever! mmm...back to the food review :D
I love the taskbars, they are super yummy and so good for you.
I have had the Outrageous Outback oatmeal and I really like it- so does Nora. It is pretty sweet, so if you aren't hankering for a sweet breakfast, try the Hot 'n' Creamy cereal.
All of the deserts are so good. Again- the scones are my favorite! Yum! :D
OKay so I was going to give a review on everything that I have tried and liked, but that would be everything I have tried! So I will just say- you can't go wrong with her food! It's soo good!

Just to add to the list. TASK Bars! My family is definitely anti-organic! They think Kraft Mac n Cheese is the greatest thing since slice bread. Blech! I ordered some and they gobbled them down like they were going out of style. I just order a 100 dollars worth of them more this month!
I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by. ~anon |

Bridget,
Pectin is the stuff you buy in the stores to make the jam or jelly set up so that it is not runny.
Or you can make it without pectin if you let it concentrate down(like in the oven on a low temp) tell it get thick
