Testing out Kroger’s No Bake Cheesecake mix
Cheesecake is one of those desserts that is absolutely worth making homemade but takes so much time and effort that I would rather settle for a no-bake cheesecake.

Trying out Lehi Mills’ double fudge brownie mix
I’ve only tried Lehi Mills once and they had a phenomenal raspberry muffin. Their muffin mixes are the only products I’ve seen in my area and during their black Friday sales I learned they have many many more mixes sold online and in various stores.

You’ve heard me say it before but I’ll say it again, brownies should be left alone and plain. However, I can’t resist these mixes with the mix-ins. I always hold out hope that one of these mixes will convince me otherwise. So I bought this mix with a heart full of optimism. This is Pillsbury’s… Read more

Trying out Elia’s Olive Oil Cake mix
Believe it or not, I wasn’t looking for any box mixes when I stumbled upon this strange mix. I was on a hunt for Hershey kisses at my local grocery outlet and couldn’t find them anywhere. I ran into a friend who worked there and he offered to check the back to see if he… Read more
