The Big Book of Homemade Mixes

Nothing can compare to the sense of satisfaction obtained from successfully doing things yourself. From urban apartment micro-kitchens to spacious country kitchens, from a humble camp in the woods to a sleek motorhome, anyone can use these homemade mixes. For those on special diets, ingredients can be adapted to suit your own needs, by altering or substituting ingredients in recipes. Whether it is salt-free, sugar-free, or gluten-free, by sourcing your own ingredients for the mixes, you can ensure that everything meets your own standards. With the wide variety of recipes, there is plenty to choose from as well. Speed up meal preparation with easy seasoning blends, make up mixes to make camping and backpacking easier, dress up your coffee with homemade flavored creamers, have a hot beverage made in your own kitchen, or have freshly made salad dressing for dinner. Bake a cake or cookies, make cornbread or biscuits, or even a quick batch of muffins is easily done when you make your own mixes. Best of all, they have all of the flavor of "home-made from scratch" because you make the mix from fresh ingredients right in your own kitchen.

She has tried on many roles over her lifetime, including being a working single mother and a wife, and is currently attempting to perfect the art of being a grandma. Now disabled, Gia is learning to work smarter in the kitchen. Her goal is always to have recipes that are quick and easy, as well as require minimal fussing and as few dirty dishes as possible, since her post war minimalist home does not feature a dishwasher in the kitchen.
