Mystery Mix

By on

My mom has had this mix in her basement for awhile.  It sounded so tasty but the instructions, or lack thereof left her a little confused.  She brought it to me.

I figured there was flour, sugar, levening and spices in it.  I wasn’t positive if there was any fat yet.  Sometimes they add it and sometimes they tell you to.  So I decided the safe thing to make was pancakes!  We added a little pumpkin, a few eggs and some sour milk (with baking soda to counteract the acid in the milk.)

Wow!  These were the best pancakes ever!

Congratulations to our Winners!

This was my favorite giveaway ever. I read every single one of your comments and was so uplifted by all your thankful messages and stories of random acts of kindness.

Drumroll please…..

Chosen by randon number generator Marlis and Laurel have won the Grocery Shrink gift package!

Congratulations Marlis:   I am thankful for my husband–my best friend, and the best man I know. Plus, he puts up with me (-:

and

Laurel: I’m thankful for my fine husband and our eight beautiful children! I’d love to learn to feed them all for less, too.

I’ll be emailing you to get your shipping information. What fun to wrap and send a special gift just for you!
