Testing out Pampered Chef’s Italian Herb and Sourdough bread mix
I am not a fan of making bread. It’s probably due to my lack of patience and my desire for instant gratification. I can’t bring myself to spend an entire day making bread even if the amount of time spent actually handling the bread is super low. I would rather bake just about anything else… Read more

Testing Betty Crocker’s Oreo Lava Cake Mix
About a month ago I found myself craving lava cake and wandering through multiple stores hoping to find a mix or a frozen pre made lava cake I could throw in the oven. After 3 stores I gave up and went home and in the following days made my own from scratch. Imagine my surprise… Read more

Comparing Betty Crocker’s Peanut Butter Cookie mix to homemade
The first thing I remember baking by myself is peanut butter cookies. I came home from school and after searching the pantry decided it was all we had the ingredients for. I baked these cookies with love and even got my first oven burn while pulling them out of the oven. I was proud and… Read more

Testing out Martha Whites’ chocolate chocolate chip muffin mix
I love chocolate chocolate chip muffins. Especially the jumbo ones you can find at groceries stores like Costco. They just rock my world every time I eat one.

Testing out PB2 Pantry’s Chocolate Chip Brownie mix

On the packaging it explains that its made with peanut powder. I figured it would have almost a chocolate peanut butter vibe in the brownies and… Read more

Trying out Sticky Fingers’ Raspberry Scones mix
Scones are one of those pastries I don’t typically go for. I am more of a moist dessert person and while drier pastries definitely have their moments, I’d rather pick something else over a scone. They aren’t easy pastries to make and require you follow some specific steps carefully to get the product correct so… Read more

Testing out Jello’s easy no bake Cheesecake
Cheesecake feels like one of those desserts that you have following a nice dinner at a restaurant. It feels sophisticated and refreshing. The perfect end to the perfect night. But sometimes you don’t want to go out, you want to stay in and eat dessert all by yourself and that is where this mix comes… Read more

Testing out Duncan Hines’ S’mores Brownie Kit EPIC
I want to start off by explaining that I believe a good brownie should be left alone. Brownies are perfect and do not need toppings or mix ins (aside from chocolate chips). That is my personal opinion. With these toppings and additives, I did not feel this brownie belonged in the brownie hunt because I… Read more
