My mom and I were talking about how expensive (and processed) mixes are, but they are so very convenient. We were at a food and gift festival and loved some of the dips, but just couldn't justify spending the money on a little baggy of spices. So we thought that maybe we could each find several mixes to work on, put them together and then help stock each other's kitchens. Things like: soups, dips, various baking mixes. Pretty much anything.

Anyone have any suggestions/advice? Recipes that you use and like?

Thanks!

There are a few books out there. I have one, More Make-A-Mix Cookery By Nevada Harward, Karine Eliason, Madeline Westover. I have used alot of recipes, and they have turned out great.

I bought all of the Oregon Spice sauce mixes, because my son is macaroni and cheese fiend.

If you need help figuring out a drop, I can help you.

I just got my first order last week. I wish I would have ordered more.

I second the Make-a-Mix cookery books. They're great!

Wendy, one of my favorite bloogers, Suzanne, at http://chickensintheroad.com/ has several mixes that I use all the time. Like for hamburger helpers, Ranch dressing... She has alot. You would go to her Farm Bell Recipe section. I love her blog.

This is something I have been working on lately also. I have the original make-a-mix cookbooks plus a couple of others. I use the brownie, cookie and general baking mix all the time. Plus the chicken mix and hamburger mixes are so useful. I canned the chicken mix this year instead of taking up space in the freezer.

I figure the mixes are my "winter" provident living project now that fall canning season is winding down. (thank heaven!)

Do what you love, love what you do.
