Box Mix Versus Scratch

Now that the weather has turned colder (at least for some of us) and the holiday season is approaching, there are more parties and social functions and I find people want to bake more. One of the more frequent questions in the shop is, "are the boxed baking mixes good?" The answer is almost always, "yes, they are good." The real question is more involved than are they good, but how convenient are they and how much time is actually saved.

A thought...

Overweight is one of America's major health problems; I think that is because we love our food too little, not too much. If it tastes fabulous, if every bite delights, if we really pay attention, we will end up eating less, not to deprive ourselves, but because we will be satisfied.

in reply to RickBasset Yeah Commission Junction was bad. I am glad I left them, I wish one of the affiliates would leave them...Cooking.com. I always had lots of clicks to them, just didn't get paid of course...lol. I liked cooking.com for many things and would love to be in business with them. Oh well. I will check out Shareasale and see if there is anything for me there. Thanks for the input.

Great lens Phil! I agree with your Commission Junction comments. I have been with them for more than a year and have been less than impressed. I have sent several emails to their merchants and never heard a thing back. Then I received a email from CJ saying that if I didn't make some sales soon they would cancel my account! Thanks for the help guys! I have been with Shareasale for over 2 years and can't find a single thing to complain about! Commission Junction should take notes!

Peace!
Rick

Have a Goal!

Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked.
"Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat.
"I don't know," Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."

I just love this bit of prose here...it is so true!
