I almost mentioned the pancake mix issue - bizarre - and the made from scratch thing. <br /><br />Some of the instant stuff requires as much work as making it from real food!Sudden Lunch ~ Suzy Bowlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12223072545569393665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799683831685681750.post-57209525622784829672014-11-24T14:40:34.904+00:002014-11-24T14:40:34.904+00:00The only time I will even consider a recipe that s...The only time I will even consider a recipe that starts "1 box of" or "1 can of" is when it involves a can of condensed soup - and then only at a pinch, because most of the condensed soup recipes I've tried have been unsatisfactory. It's just not a recipe, for starters - and they are so poor, in comparison with the real thing! I despair when I read some of the suggestions that appear on so-called recipe sites.Jenny Eatwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664664803454422811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799683831685681750.post-6176400820472313402014-11-24T14:04:25.130+00:002014-11-24T14:04:25.130+00:00Also agree with your observations.

I was puzzled by the question, because as far as I was concerned there is no other way!<br /><br />And what about ready made mix for pancakes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799683831685681750.post-66250927604269994862014-11-24T13:52:30.720+00:002014-11-24T13:52:30.720+00:00Totally have to agree.

I often search for 3-ingredient-recipes in an attempt to cut out the crap, especially regarding sweet treats - but stumble across these 'combine this packet of faux food with that packet of faux food' methods instead. Infuriating!!! I wouldn't touch those packets with a barge pole, let alone multiple their junk food effects by layering them. <br />Americans seem unable to make any form of icing without a list of ingredients as long as your arm, again from several. <br />Whatever happened to icing sugar + water...? <br />So glad I'm not the only one to have noticed this :-)Zola Spudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01956809113242013766noreply@blogger.com
