    Thanks for another great link...

    If you like these recipes, I came across a book I want to check to see if there is a copy in the library before I decide if it's worth it to buy it. It looks great for anyone who uses "Helper" type boxed mixes and wants to make them from scratch and save money.

    Dinner Is In the Jar by Kathy Clark

    Dinner Is In the Jar by Kathy Clark

    Amazon.com: Dinner Is In The Jar: Quick and Easy Dinner Mixes in Mason Jars or Mylar Bags (bw) (9781450550925): Kathy Clark: Books

    Another good book:
    Mix~A~Meal Cookbook - by Deanna Bean & Lorna Shute (mixes and recipes using them).
    Amazon.com: Mix-A-Meal Cookbook (9780970869708): Deanna Bean: Books
    I just recently got these books and I LOVE them!! There is a site for the Dinner is in the Jar book. Dinner Is In The Jar You can preview a few things there. You can also preview the book on Amazon.

    In the Mix-A-Meal cookbook, the biscuit recipe is the best made from scratch biscuits I've ever had!!!

    Another book I'm looking into is: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Make-Mix-Karine-Eliason/dp/0762426020/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271541899&sr=8-1"]Amazon.com: Make-A-Mix (9780762426027): Karine Eliason, Nevada Harward, Madeline Westover: Books@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/515bMMvolqL.@@AMEPARAM@@515bMMvolqL[/ame] I have yet to make anything from it, but I has some nice recipes.

    I wonder if this book has been revised. I have their early books -
    -Make-A-Mix Cookery (1978)
    -More Make-A-Mix Cookery (1980)

    I've been using both of these books since they came out, but the cover is different from the first one I bought used all those years ago. I even have Make-A-Mix Cookery in a small paperback version.

    I don't know if it's been revised, but I do know this book has (some of?) the recipes in the other two books. I think it's more like the two books have been combined in one. I own neither of the older books, but I did find the 1980 book at the library and I made sure that the current book had the recipes that interested me before I bought it. (I looked at the index on the Amazon preview.)

    Edited to add: Looking at the book on the page about the authors, it says that they added a few recipes, revised many old ones, and lowered fat and cholesterol in many.
