Okay, I have spent a lot of time in the last few days reading thru the "mix" portion of the book: Make-A-Mix. (If you click on "book review" on the right, you'll see related posts.)
Here is the list of the recipes that have an ingredient that is "un-clean" - if I search the grocery I may be able to find an acceptable option, but at this point I am going to focus on the ones I don't need to hunt for a new ingredient for. So here are the ones I will be skipping for now and why:
Breadmaker Mix - uses non fat dry milk
Cornbread Mix - uses milk or buttermilk powder
Graham Cracker Crust Mix - uses box graham crackers
Hot Roll Mix - uses non fat dry milk
Whole Wheat Hot Roll Mix - uses non fat dry milk
Quick Mix - uses non fat dry milk
Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix - uses dry buttermilk
Lemon Pudding Mix - uses powdered lemonade mix
Beef Gravy Mix - uses non fat dry milk
Chicken Gravy Mix - uses non fat dry milk
White Sauce Mix - uses non fat dry milk
Home-Style Dressing Mix - uses MSG "if desired" (can you even buy this??)
Hot Chocolate Mix - uses non-dairy creamer
Russian Refresher Mix - uses powdered lemonade mix (popular drink at one time??)
This leaves me with a whole lot to try! I am hoping no one puts a hold on the book before I can finish getting through it. :)
As I mentioned earlier, there is a "mix" section and a "recipe section" (made from the mixes.) Nice concept.
Before I can try the one I really want to try, the brownie mix...I gotta go buy more cocoa powder. These sure use a lot!! But I guess if you are making a "mix" you want extras to have on hand, right? The chocolate pudding mix is almost gone. And that makes 6 batches. So much for losing weight. :)
Happy eating, Kathy
