Mix recipes. Having everyday and convenience food mixes on hand are a great way to save time (no running to the store for something to serve last minute guests) and money (brownies for $.50 instead of $1.50 or more) in the kitchen.
Not to mention, making your own mixes allows you to control the quality and the ingredients making them adaptable to special diets or allergies. So where do you start if you want to stock your pantry with quick and easy mixes? First, look around your pantry and think about what convenience foods you would like to make mixes to replace. Do you love having brownies on hand for an after-school snack? Would having pancake mix on hand make Saturday morning breakfast more relaxing? Next, decide how you want to package your mixes. Now the fun part, making all the mixes! Buy your frequently used ingredients in bulk (flour, sugar, baking powder, etc.....)
Using a large, shallow bowl will make mixing your ingredients much easier. A whisk makes quick work of dry ingredients. Most favorited all-time. Bacon Egg and Cheese Ring. I came across this recipe on Pinterest, and I just had to make it.

This is another dish that you can really do a lot with.

The other day I went to make her our quick box version for lunch and we were out! I knew it was finally time to try something I’d always thought of but never attempted: making mac and cheese in the microwave. Since she only needed a small portion I knew a mug o’ mac and cheese would be just the right amount for her. I was thrilled when it worked out with my regular microwave — it was so easy! I made the recipe a few times to make sure it worked out for you.

Nutella: The World Needs You. There are times when I feel like an ostrich.
It’s like I have my head buried so deeply in all the minutia of daily life that when I stick my head out into the world I’m shocked (and often appalled) and what’s going on. I’ll be honest. When I do stick my head out mostly I just want to curl back into my little life with a blankie and a warm cup of tea. With all the uncertainy around us, it is nice to have some things that remain simple and pure, regardless if you’re 7 or 37. And that’s Nutella. No matter what, that thick layer of Nutella that I slather onto a piece of bread always tastes the same and always brings back that pleasant feeling of chocolate and sugar and hazelnuts and fresh bread.
And for all those that mock Nutella’s claims of being a healthy snack I’m sending a big dose of “shush” your way. Just shush. Nutella makes people happy. I said shush. Taco Bake. One food item I always seem to have in my pantry or in my fridge are flour tortillas.
They are good for so many things. Tortillas can be made into so many different types of snacks for kids (and grownups). You can cut them up and fry them or bake them. You can make cinnamon chips, quesadillas, tortilla pizzas....The possibilities are endless...and easy on the wallet too. Sometimes when I only have a few left, I like to make this taco bake. Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef 1 packet taco seasoning * water as called for on back of seasoning packet 3 large flour tortillas (8-inch size) Zucchini fries and seasoned sour cream. Have you guys listened to the song Up With the Birds by Coldplay?
I am a bit of a CP fanatic. Dan rolls his eyes at me any time I mention Coldplay. This song, though, it is really great. On my sad days, it uplifts me. On my happy days, it makes my smile a little bit bigger. Elijah is spending the night with his auntie tonight, so Dan and I have had special time with our sweet Sammy.
