Mexican Frankenstein Casserole – Why settle for boring?

THAT is what will be remembered. It doesn’t matter if maybe it could’ve used a bit more cheese or maybe the corn had been in the freeze just a little too long and lacked flavor. It was an edible monster! And with Halloween right around the corner, you really have no excuse not to have some fun with your own.
Homemade pancake mix recipe (Bulk OAMC)
I don’t buy fruit punch in the first place, but somehow we ended up with these huge jugs (from a party?) that were too good to throw out. One of them was converted into a jug of homemade pancake mix.
I’m not a fan of spending the money on the mixes in the first place, but I can’t argue with the convenience of having a box already premixed and just needing an egg or some water. We could spend the same money on all the ingredients for several boxes worth instead, though, so why not?
(The sister’s handwriting circa 2009)
The mix:
- 8 C. flour
- 6 T. + 2 t. baking powder
- 4 t. salt
- 2/3 C. sugar
- 1 1/3 C. dry non-instant milk powder or 2 2/3 C. instant milk powder
- (If you have powdered eggs, you can add 1/2 of the dry product here and you won’t have to add an egg later)
How to use:
- 1 1/2 cup mix
- 1 cup water
- 1 egg
- 2 T oil
Cook your pancakes as you normally would. :) Add a bit more water or a bit more powder if it’s too thick or thin, respectively.
Tip: Make sure you write the recipe for use on the back so you don’t have to look up how much to use every time.
Tip: Add this to your “once a month cooking” list and you’ll always have a steady supply of the mix, too.
Another one bites the dust OR Don’t cry over spilled spaghetti
It’s a great thing I have this habit of taking pictures of everything. Otherwise, you’d miss out on the glory of my mistakes. In this case, it was a full box of spaghetti that someone opened on the bottom and then put back in the cabinet right-side up. Oops.
Actually, now that I think about it, I’d forgotten just how many times I’ve shared our spills and accidents already:
That’s not to mention the broken cake, garbage disposal mishap, destroyed pans/dishes, random burns, and failed recipes. Oy, we’re a mess! :P
