Trying out Libby’s Pumpkin Bread box mix
After our disaster a few weeks ago with Jello’s “pumpkin flavored” pie, I was overly excited to find Libby’s Pumpkin Bread box mix in the stores that includes a can of pumpkin puree. When I first found this box mix, I was at a Safeway out of state with no room in my luggage to Read more

Trying out Pillsbury perfectly pumpkin cookie mix

Trying out Betty Crocker’s Supreme Lemon bar mix
Following our previous attempt at lemon bar box mixes with Krusteaz’s box mix, my hopes were high when I picked up this lemon bar mix from Betty Crocker. In my area, these are the only two lemon bar box mixes that I could find so I took to the internet to find out more and Read more

Trying out Krusteaz’s Snickerdoodle cookie box mix
Before this blog journey, I hadn’t used any cookie box mixes. I have been making cookies from scratch for as long as I can remember so for me, mixing up cookie dough is so easy that I don’t think twice. I always have the ingredients on hand and can whip them up in a few Read more

Trying out Betty Crocker’s Reese’s coffee cake mix
Betty Crocker partnered with Reese’s and made a few different baking mixes. We previously tried their peanut butter no bake bar mix and now we are diving into their coffee cake mix.
